Over the past 20 years, he's unceasingly explored his artistic road, and created more than 300 carved wood paintings on different themes, such as famous people, the Chinese Zodiac and landscapes. Meng has also written an article about his artistic learning experience and creation process that's over 300,000 words long. His artworks have been collected by several museums, but Meng never sells his works. He said he doesn't want to make money this way, but only wants to give his works to authentic art lovers.
