Mr. Yelin Li, an artist , was born in December of 1939 in Guang'an county, Sichuan province. He has been engaged in artwork for more than 40 years. He boldly mixed Chinese ink's lingering charm and the vigor of strokes with the skills of light and color of brand-new painting style, by using traditional Chinese writing brushes and rice paper and a unique artistic style. Li's art works have made strong repercussions not only at home but also abroad. The Center for International Art Culture in New York honored the Chinese Painting Innovation Awards to Li in 1995, and an American TV station made a special documentary movie "Li, Originator of Yelin Colorful Chinese Ink Painting", in which his art works are considered as "a kind of oil painting on rice paper", "a crystallization of Chinese and western painting" and "a bridge between Eastern culture". In 1996, Malaysian collectors for art works established Yelin Art Center in Kuala Lumpur. In 1997, some experts in New York set up Yelin Art Research Center. Many artworks of Li's have been collected by people from the United States, Canada, Britain, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Hongkong and Taiwan.
