Zheng Liping said that after retiring in 2014, she couldn't help walking into the elderly university under the recommendation of her family. At first, she also felt that the "cultural people" in the elderly university were worried that some retirees of her company would be out of place. However, on the first day of entering the university, the positive atmosphere in the class and the enthusiasm of the teachers and students completely dispelled her concerns.

With a strong interest and perseverance, she learned very much and had high requirements for herself. She insisted on practicing painting for a few hours every day, and sometimes it was half a day.

In addition to cooking and eating, she stayed in the studio for a day, and she painted one piece after the work, almost covered with the entire room.

With the continuous improvement of the level of painting, Zheng Liping has increased the opportunity to participate in the exhibition. In the process of contacting high -level professional painters, she became more aware of the lack of knowledge of her own knowledge. To this end, she regards the famous art exhibition as a learning opportunity. Whenever she heard that Shouguang or surrounding counties and cities, and the famous art exhibitions such as Weifang and Jinan, she went to visit. "Watching the famous art exhibition helps my studies very much, can broaden my horizons, increase knowledge, improve my aesthetic level, and help me improve my painting inspiration."
