The name of our artwork is “Qing Ni Gen Wo Zheyang
Zuo”in Chinese.
In English that means ‘‘Please do it with me’’. It is a mural painted on the
side of an old house. The mural shows some local shopkeepers doing a special
pose. It was made in 2004 by the artist Yan Jen Fa. It’s made of wooden boards
and paint. It is located on Hai-An Road in Tainan City,
because the city government wanted to beautify the road. The meaning of the

be strong last forever. Many neighbors find shopkeepers of stores they often
shop in are on the painting. It has also become another way to connect feelings
of the community. The painter is a movie billboard painter. This job is
