The theme of today's exhibition is "painting the original heart, celebrating the birthday with ink," with "lucky bird" cranes and "rich flower" peonies as the artistic expression objects. It not only creates the mood of "congratulating the birthday" and "increasing the age", but also adds a sense of celebration and peace to the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Party on the campus of Jiangsu University. As an adjunct professor at the School of Art of Jiangsu University, Mr. Tian came to Jiangda University to hold an exhibition on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the Party, and celebrated the centennial with 100 paintings, reflecting the original heart of an art worker and coalescing Mr. Tian's love for the Party, deep affection for the motherland and friendship for Jiangda University. He encouraged the faculty and students to more consciously and deeply implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important remarks on the work of literature and art, to deeply understand the new historical orientation of the Chinese nation; to remember the mission without forgetting the original intention, to consciously merge one's artistic life into the cause of the Party and the people; to draw a portrait for the times, to establish a biography for the times, to clarify the virtues for the times, to use art to coalesce the majestic power of the new era to march forward; to strive to create works worthy of the times, worthy of the people, and worthy of the people. We will strive to create fine works worthy of the times, worthy of the people, and worthy of the nation. To achieve the goal of the two hundred years of struggle, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation's Chinese dream is to make a new and greater contribution.
