A strong willingness of life

Paintings never talk, but vigorous birds and flowers are "noisy" in Wei's works, telling people their strong will to live and prosper.

"Chinese freehand painting is thousands of years old and the most important thing is the combination of painting and calligraphy. I am still practicing my calligraphy and will try my best to have better Chinese ink paintings," said Wei, whose voice is as strong and forceful as a very young man's.
