 Sun Tiesheng (1930.3 -) was from Penglai, Shandong Province. He is a member of China Artists Association and a first-class national artist. He was the Secretary-General of Jiangsu Association of Fine Arts, the fourth director of China Artists Association, the director of China Sports and Fine Arts Promotion Association, and the consultant of Taiwan Calligraphy Education Association.

Sun Lao loved painting since childhood. Before the founding of New China, he took part in work and moved from the army to the local area. In the 1950s and 1960s, he worked as an art editor and group leader in provincial newspapers and pictorial newspapers successively. As early as the 1950s, he had more than 40 comic books and created illustrations for more than 20 literary and artistic works. He was one of the excellent comic illustrators in the painting circle at that time.

In the late 1970s, when Sun Lao-sen was deputy secretary-general of Jiangsu Branch of China Artists Association, he devoted himself to the creation and research of Chinese figure paintings and created a number of historical, mythological and Taoist figure paintings.

Sun Lao has worked with all his predecessors, such as Fu Baoshi, Qian Songyi, Yaming, Song Wenzhi and Wei Zixi for many years. For 60 years, Sun Lao has drawn on the strengths of various families and made great efforts to govern them. His works have become one of his own and become a great instrument.

Sun Lao was modest, honest and upright. More than forty comic book manuscripts painted during the Cultural Revolution were put to the torch, and his pains were exhausted. After 1978, Sun Lao robbed the rest of his life, put on his clothes again, rejuvenated his artistic youth, worked hard and plowed deeply. With the iron sword in hand, the essence of Chinese figure painting is reshaped. Sun Tiesheng combines traditional Chinese figure painting with landscape techniques. His portraits of Guanyin, Damo, Zhongkui, Quyuan and other traditional Chinese characters either drive away evil, upright, or Nafu Yingxiang, elegant, agile and varied. The image of Zhongkui in his works is solemn, dignified, more humane and lovable. 。

Sun Lao's calligraphy is also very successful. The regular script evolved from Wei style is handsome and powerful, and has obvious personality style. Since the 1990s, he has held several art exchanges at the invitation of Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places, and he is good at Chinese painting and comic strips.

His works include The People Standing Up, Running through the Coral Pool at Night, and The Change of Li Jiazhuang.
