Hu Lianfeng, a freelance painter, was born on July 16, 1971 in Liuyuan Village, Dongshu Town, Ningyang County, Shandong Province, and was awarded the honorary title of "2021 Best Artist of Virtue and Art" in 2022 by participating in the 5th "Public Welfare Ceremony".
Since childhood, he has experienced the dilemma of family poverty and many sisters, although he is talented and intelligent, especially in painting, but he is limited to the learning conditions at that time, and he has not been tapped and developed after all, and his studies have only been in junior high school and he has embarked on a part-time career. When he left home to work, he was only 17 years old, but he had to work 12 hours a day on a construction site like an adult, earning only two dollars and five cents. Even so, he has always insisted on working in other places, contributing to earn money, and has been working for more than 30 years. The heavy labor made Hu Lianfeng forget his childhood hobby, and he never even touched the brush. As he grew older, he also experienced a marriage, but it only lasted five years before it ended in divorce. Since then, I also wanted to find a confidant to live a down-to-earth life, but after all, because of my kindness and too much belief in the Internet, I ended up with both people and money.
Until 2020, during the Spring Festival, Hu Lianfeng picked up the brush again when he had nothing to do, painting to relieve boredom, in the process of painting, he forgot the pain of many years, and indulged in it, sometimes he could paint two or three paintings a day. It happened that his work was seen by the third uncle of the neighbor, and the third uncle, who was seven or eight years younger than him, felt that his work was very good, so he taught him to post his work to Toutiao, Kuaishou, Douyin and other platforms, but he did not expect to get praise and attention from many fans. In particular, a young and beautiful girl from Los Angeles, USA, left a message for him on Toutiao, saying that her ancestral home is Kowloon, Hong Kong, China, and she likes his works very much, and supports him and encourages him to continue painting. When she learned that he could imitate, the girl got a few works from her painter friend and sent them to him to imitate. Among them, there is a painting of a crane, which has brought him great inspiration and made his creation today. Hu Lianfeng is not a professional painter, he has never attended art school, and he can't even paint with a brush, but he uses a simple watercolor pen to paint his own life.
