On Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast a team of 150 medical members from Army Medical University starting off on their mission to Wuhan overnight. In the meantime, a picture of a military surgeon bidding farewell to her 7-year-old daughter upon departure caught Zhou's eye. Being deeply moved by this, Zhou finished the oil painting I Sent My Mother to the Battlefield on that night.

In Zhou's oil paintings, various scenes of touching moments of the mission-on-call team can be seen. They are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives. They are called the "the most beautiful travelers".

So far, Zhou has completed eight oil paintings. "I just wanted to extend my salute to the lovely military surgeons and medical workers! Their dedication will pay off and we can prevail over the virus!"
