When Luo Zhongli recalled the inspiration for his creation, he remarked that the peasants' honesty always put them in an unfavorable situation, and he had to speak for those being ignored. The profound personal experiences and Luo's sympathy towards human kind inserted enormous emotions in his creation. Through delicate, thoughtful and meticulous skills, Luo truthfully reflected the bitterness and burden in peasant life and created his seminal painting Father which depicted the ponderousness of life. In Father, with proficient photo-realistic painting skill, the artist depicted the hardship of peasants through portraiture. After that, Luo Zhongli started to paint with bold and rough brushstrokes to expressively reflect the living condition of the working class and to glorify their hard work. In the Daba Mountains series, Luo Zhongli added witty, humorous and mysterious narratives in paintings to present in great details the daily life of peasants. Through these works, we can see Luo's undertaking in thorough and multi-aspect research about the same central theme, and his effort to explore different ways to express. In Timber Worker (Lot 119), bold, thick black lines and sharp, short strokes in colour interweave in the pictorial space. The logger is fiercely axing the bottom of the tree trunk with both hands. The figure of the logger, in great contrast with the towering tree, brings forth the spirit of persistence and perseverance of the worker. In the distance, a woman holding a child implies the heavy responsibility that the working class have towards their family and their jobs.
