"Whenever we appreciate Yang Xiaomin's works, we are always shocked by the irresistible atmosphere in his works ... In fact, all Yang Xiaomin's works are sharing their vitality and prosperity with us. Every stroke in the painting contains vitality, joy, music and dance ... we can happily discover everything that constitutes the same picture: country life, strength, joy and the earth itself. "
