After liberation, the Chinese government continued urging artists to use their skills to serve the people. Shortly after Jiangsu Provincial Painting Institute was founded, Ya Ming and other artists from the Painting Institute departed on a trip to sketch people's daily life and landscape in 1960, covering a distance of over twenty thousand li. The journey largely transformed these artists work. They shifted their subject from traditional landscape to people's new social life under the leadership of the Communist Party.
