Ah Q (阿Q) was created by the artist Zhao Yannian with sharp carving techniques, strong contrasts, and exaggerated image of the figure, vividly visualizing the character mentioned in the novel. The techniques are sophisticated with composure, masculine with strength. The emotions of the story and the dramatic effect of the painting complement each other.
