"In our art circle, there are artists who use their wives as models, but this is the first time I've seen someone use their own daughter as a model. This requires breaking through not only ordinary social concepts, but also伦理and moral barriers. The collaborative creation of the stunning oil painting 'Wushan Goddess' by Mr. Li and his daughter is truly moving." Renowned art critic and professor at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Wang Xiaojian, commented thusly.

(Note: The word "伦理" can be translated as "ethics" or "morality," but in this context, it refers to ethical familial boundaries, so a direct translation might not fully capture the nuance.)
