A Chinese artist has been creating one ink-painting every day since the novel coronavirus outbreak began in central China’s Hubei Province in late January. Shu Yong, a 46-year-old contemporary artist from central Hunan Province, has so far created some 120 works, mainly in the traditional Chinese ink-painting style. “The daily painting practice aims to use traditional Chinese symbols — mountains and water — to express the value of the global community with a shared future for mankind,” Shu said.
