Farmer painters such as Zheng Limin, Mao Meixian, Guo Yaosheng, Zheng Weiliang and Yu Yunmei from Yudong village created a 6-meter-long and 0.8-meter-wide scroll painting to welcome and express their high hopes for the Hangzhou Asian Games.

"My art work focused mountain bike races, reflecting farmers' healthy lives and fighting spirit. It has strong rural vibes and is meant to welcome the Asian Games. It also depicts the dynamic and healthy lives of people in rural areas in the new era," said Zheng Limin, chairman of the Yudong Village Farmer Painting Association.
