The works of Jin Zhilin, no matter the Yellow River, the cornfield or the snow, sing the praise of the nature especially the endless vitality and vigor. Jin Zhilin has been devoted to the painting cause with cultural foundation, romantic emotion and great perseverance in the past decades and provided a unique outlook to the oil painting.
