       Han Yuchen, a specially-appointed researcher at  Chinese National Academy of Art and a professor at the Repin St. Petersburg State Academy Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in Russia, gave a thank-you speech. He emotionally told about his long story of 50-year pursuit of art, and fulfilling the dream of an artist; He mentioned the hardships that he had been through while painting from life in Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places.

       At the opening ceremony, Wu Weishan presented Han Yuchen with the collection certificates of two oil paintings, namely "Gannan Lengben Daoji" and "Light and Shadow".
       Han Yuchen's exhibition is divided into three series: "Germination of Dreams and Hard Self-taught Education", "Deep Taihang Mountain Complex" and "Description of Multi-ethnic Style", with 83 works which comprehensively show Han Yuchen's 50-year painstaking and persistent journey of painting from life.
