Title: Happiness

Cover story: During the National Day, my father took mother and me back to his hometown, where he had left for a long time. There were endless rice fields in that place where Father was born and raised. The sky was clear and blue. When Father took me to see an uncle fishing at the pond, walking hand in hand along the country road, Mother was behind us and captured this moment. After returning home, I created the painting Happiness based on the photo Mother took. Happiness embodies the beauty of the harmony between humans and nature, and the infinite beauty of family affection.

Title: Fighting against COVID-19, my father’s story

Cover story: My father Yue-tian Yu is a doctor specializing in critical care medicine. He is also very good at diagnosing and treating infectious diseases. After the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, he went to Wuhan immediately for treating the critically ill patients.
