Xinjiang's people and culture inspire Lin Feng to paint

For the past 50 years, Chinese ink artist Lin Feng has lived in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The people and culture of the area has had a major impact on him.

Lin's show, Chinese Painting of Portraits, at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, displays 80 of his artworks based on people living in the northwestern region and in East China's Fujian province, his hometown.

The 77-year-old artist has spent most of his adult life in Xinjiang.
