Recalling his visit to the coal capital Fushun, in Liaoning Province, and the motivation for this painting, Fu wrote: I still remember vividly what the Party Secretary told me about . . . the coal mine. . . . Suddenly he pointed to the coal layers in the walls of the mine and said, “Look, how beautiful the color is!” I was terrified. . . . Everybody knows that coal is dark black. A mine operated by several hundred thousand miners was filled with coal mine dust, and yet, in the eye of our Party Secretary, it was so beautiful. How can I not paint this?
