Shang's excellent works were popular in the village. “I love his paintings and they show the earth shattering changes in our village，” said a farmer.
“I've seen the local poverty alleviation with my own eyes. I want to record the changes with my brush and create more works about people. I want to tell stories of the country's battle against poverty，” said Shang.
