He believes art has the power to help a person become a good leader who is able to understand and interpret the human heart.

"A leader's unique taste in art will help him or her develop good leadership. It also helps to add the person's personal charm," Zhu said. "A sense of aesthetics will not only help with artistic creation but also relax his daily life. As a civil servant, one should be a keen observer and a good thinker," he said.

Zhu's work is also in line with the central government's call to build "a beautiful China".

"We should discover the beauty in our daily lives. To this end, the government's call is not only aimed at conserving or creating a good natural environment but also implies that people's pursuit should be beautiful," he said.

"That is also true in art. It is quite sad to see that most people working in this industry are eager to be successful in a hurry."

Zhu said the essence of art is the "pursuit of beauty". "No matter how creative or different the artist claims his work is, if it is not beautiful, it is not successful," he said.
