Cheng Zheng, professor at Xi'an Fine Art College.

Wang and I were classmates in college, and I knew his efforts to become a good painter. Now, he also shoulders many social positions such as a National People's Congress representative and the chairman of Shaanxi Provincial Association of Artists, so he is more than just being a painter, with broadened horizons and bigger goals.

Liang Jiang, vice-president of China National Art Museum.

It is a challenge for artists to create a painting for the Great Hall of the People because it must be consistent with the building's solemn and immense style.

The suitable paintings should be able to reflect the spirit of the times and also in line with the modern aesthetic sensibilities.

Wang's work captures the notion of national rejuvenation and the pursuit of the "Chinese dream" by depicting the boldness and splendor of the great Mother River.
