Artist remembers mother through series of 200 sketches

A moving series of sketches detailing the day-to-day life of an old woman reflect the artist's love for his mother and filial duty.

Li Fuchang started drawing the sketches to distract his mother's attention from the pain she was suffering in her legs and to spend more time with her.

In March, Li's mother, 85, said her legs were too painful to walk. After taking his mother for checks at hospitals, Li and his wife, Wang Zhiqin, decided to close their noodle shop in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, and return to rural Qishan county to take care of her.
