Chinanews, Chengdu, Nov. 23 ¨C Chen Jiagui, a common farmer in Chengdu, Sichuan Province told to the local media on Tuesday that he hoped someone could help him launch a one-person art exhibition in China.
Chen said that one of his paintings was sold in Paris at 300 thousand yuan by his friend during the last Spring Festival. Chen hoped a successful exhibition of his works could refrain his wife from interfering in his creative work.

Chen revealed that no artists in Chengdu had similar art style to his.
