You Jindong is a professor of the Printmaking Department at Central Academy of Fine Arts. In the 1980s, he gained recognition for his comic strip work Midlife Crisis, which won the gold medal at the 6th National Fine Arts Exhibition. For this project, he revisits the concept of "literary painting," drawing from his firsthand experiences during the Cultural Revolution era. In his illustrated novel Sending Paintings to Jiamusi, You Jindong portrays a young artist who, through the theme of "relief in adversity," expresses his reflections on human nature and his understanding of human society in the pursuit of his ideals.
