Red Bamboo (2010, 211cmX72cm)

Cui's artwork has been purchased by celebrities from various fields, including former US president Ronald Reagan, former secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former prime minister of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew.

The artwork has also been praised by the Thai royal family, the United Nations as well as dozens of museums, galleries and universities in the US and Europe.

In China, Cui's works have been repeatedly selected as State gifts to foreign leaders.

Cui's dream even goes beyond art itself. Although he has traveled around the world, he never forgot the lessfortunate people in his home country.

After the earthquake in Sichuan, Cui sold paintings valued at 50 million yuan ($8.2 million) to a Russian company and donated all the proceeds to relief efforts.
