He Xiangning (1878-1972), born in Hong Kong and originally from Miancun, Nanhai County, Guangdong Province, is a great woman who combines social activists and artists in modern China.
In 1903, He Xiangning and her husband Liao Zhongkai went east to Japan to study. In 1905, he joined the China League, followed Mr. Sun Yat-sen into the Xinhai Revolution, the crusade against the warlords and other struggles, and later devoted himself to the Chinese Democratic Revolution. After 1949, He Xiangning successively served as a member of the **People's Committee**, chairman of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee, chairman of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, honorary chairman of the All-China Women's Federation, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. He Xiangning is an outstanding leader of the People's Republic of China, and throughout her life, she has made major contributions to the cause of liberation of the Chinese people and the establishment of new China, to the great cause of socialist construction and national reunification of the country, and to the cause of friendship between the Chinese people and the people of all countries in the world.

He Xiangning was the chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, and her paintings are magnificent, profound, and often use the depictions of pines, plums, lions, tigers, mountains and rivers to express her lyrical ambition, which is a vivid portrayal of her 70-year revolutionary career and noble personality. The brushstrokes and inscriptions of many artists and national leaders make her paintings more dignified. Her paintings are the treasures of the Chinese nation.
In modern China, Mr. He Xiangning is not only a revolutionary, social activist, but also an artist. This special identity determines that his life's creation is always closely related to the fate of the Chinese nation and the country, which makes his paintings full of "the meaning of struggle", and also highlights the personality of Mr. and the characteristics of "painting high life expectancy" and "double clear people and moons".
