Ai Xuan， a successful painter in contemporary China， focuses his paintings on the lives of Tibetan people. Unlike Chen Danqing — another important Chinese painter who was famous for depicting the hardships of Tibetan lives — Ai Xuan is very good at depicting the mysterious spiritual world of Tibetan people. Ai Xuan used to convey the feelings and thoughts of Tibetan people by depicting rival details such as eye beam， the frowns， and the movement of hairs. The compositions of most of his paintings are rather simple， while almost all of his paintings are fairly moving. It is difficult to tell why Ai Xuan’s paintings are so touching. There is sense of loneliness throughout these paintings. The Girl comes from the wolf vally is the portrait of a pretty Tibetan girl， who is standing in a snow land alone. She is so young that it is hard to imagine that anything important has happened to her， or that she has kept any unforgettable memory in her mind. However， her expression tells us that she is far from innocent. On the contrary， she looks like a woman who has experienced many important changes in her life. She is beautiful， graceful， yet full of sorrow. Standing in the lonely snow land alone， she sees in her mind her unforgettable past and her uncertain future. She is not merely a Tibetan girl. She is the symbol of Tibet itself， which is so young yet so old. The painting is simple， but it is not easy for anybody to understand it completely.
