Li Zhong, painter and president of the Artist Association of Fengxian District, Shanghai, has been producing paintings to pay homage to frontline workers in the battle against the novel coronavirus epidemic.

“As I’m staying at home, I can do nothing but paint to show my respect for them,” said Li. Since February, Li has been creating two art pieces per day on the theme of “combating the epidemic in solidarity”.

“I will continue to use my paintbrush to depict Wuhan and all the people that have devoted themselves to fighting against the virus,” said Li.
