Born in 1968 in Dalian city. Currently he is a professional painter, a member of Dalian Artists’ Association. In 1969 he went to countryside with his family and stayed there until 1979. Ten years countryside life like a beautiful fairy tale to keep Yu remember until now or even more. Maybe dream of creating arts began at that time.

He devoted all his life to understanding the nature, the course of painting creation like a course of exploring life. A building, a tree, a damaged boat or a corroded rock, they are a life to artist, when he touches them, he was deeply moved by them, it is a kind of communion even though without words. These things are the ever-lasting inspirations for the art creation of him.
