Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu in 1929, he is an internationally renowned painter. He is best known for his use of bright colors to depict flowers and charming beauties. He studied at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts in the 1940s.

In 1957, he went to New York and became close friends with American artist Samuel Francis, and was deeply influenced by abstract expressionism and pop art. In 1964, he wrote a collection of poems called "The Life of an Immortal", edited by Samuel Francis and published by EW Kornfeld. He collaborated with 28 famous European and American pop art and expressionist painters such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Joan Mitchell. The book includes 62 original lithographs by these artists. In 1977, he won the Guggenheim Foundation Painting Award. His works during this period were created with bold brushstrokes and bright acrylic paint. In the late 1970s, he began to paint pictures of beauties, gradually forming the unique style we are familiar with today. He used brushes and ink to draw lines on rice paper, and then applied large amounts of acrylic paint. The bright colors, freehand brushwork, and full of vitality showed his praise for life and his love for beautiful things.
