A graduate of the prestigious Shanghai Art College, her career in the arts was interrupted by China's Cultural Revolution. But even in those turbulent times, her talent was recognized. She found herself being asked to paint larger-than-life murals of Chairman Mao and related revolutionary themes. During the seventies in China, subject to the restraints placed on women and artists in a period of national disorder and intolerance, she was still able to express herself artistically in a variety of ways including stage-painting for an Army ballet performing group and later creating large murals for advertising purposes. Reflecting her protean talent, in 1972 she was chosen to exhibit a collection of her hand-painted woodcarvings in the Beijing Army Museum. With China's opening after the Cultural Revolution, Susan came to the United States in 1981.
