A new exhibition in Shanghai has been paying tribute to the 75 role model workers and craftsmen in the city. Co-hosted by the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions and Central Academy of Fine Arts, the exhibition aims to depict the beauty of model workers through art, praise the beauty of labor, and promote the spirit of model workers and craftsmen.

During the creative activities carried out for nearly five months by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, nearly 200 works were created through on-site sketching and re-creation, using various forms of artistic expressions such as traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, sculpture, sketches, digital art, and printmaking. Coming from all walks of life, these workers have greatly contributed to the country with their expertise and efforts.
