Movie sketches artist's life

Artist Liu Yuyi will attend the premiere of a documentary movie about his life made by Hollywood film producer and director Chris D. Nebe in the United States in October.

Liu, who is well-known for his oil paintings with a historical theme, is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

When he attended the annual sessions this year, many other CPPCC members asked him to pose with them for photographs in front of two of his paintings on the wall in the Great Hall of the People, where the sessions were held.
