Zeng was born in 1976 in the city of Xing Ning, Guangdong province. Zeng had developed keen interest in oil printing early in the school days. Like most of the teenagers, Zeng was independent, rebellious and yearning to see the vast motherland with his own eyes. 

     The young Zeng was so adventurous that he rode his bicycle all the way from Chengdu in Sichuan province to Lhasa in Tibet alone. The journey took him 30 days to cover a distance of over 2,000 kilometers. Zeng was determined to see the places and sceneries along the route and most important of all, he wanted to record everything he saw in his sketch book.

     “Zeng is a born artist. Painting is in his blood. Zeng’s paintings are solid proofs of his existence. After so many years, he could still remember exactly the locations of every house, road, mountain and river in his paintings. They are his legacy and will stay forever in his memory,” said art critics.
