Her teachers like Liu Xiaodong, Hong Ling and Yuan Yunsheng etc. had influenced her varyingly. The predecessors like Lin Fengmian, Zhao Wuji and Wu Guanzhong etc. in the exploration of the Western art have also given her a lot of inspiration. She also exposed to the Western great masters’ artworks from prehistory to the Renaissance and then the impressionism to post-impressionism, from expressionism to all genres of contemporary arts.
