This work was completed in the New Year's Eve of 1981 depicting a loving couple forming a harmonious family. The rooster was sketched with dry brush, accentuated at its back and neck. White colour was applied to the feathers at the back highlighting its muscular strength. Saturated ink was applied at the chest and the tail feathers. Its feet were depicted with fine brush. Red was applied on the crown and the area surrounding the eyes, posing contrast with the black and white in the lower part of the body. The hen at the back came out from behind the bush. Yu Chung-lin depicted the subjects with carefree brush on the body and swift brush for the feathers, with an invigorating red colour applied around the eyes and the crown. Two birds gaze into a distance beyond the frame suggesting influences of western paintings. The painting has a simplistic yet intriguing composition. Staged with beans at the back, Yu used central brushstrokes, both wet and dry, to depict the strong and thin bamboo structure. Beans were double sketched with ink for the flowers and leaves. Dry strokes with light ink were used for the encroaching vines towards the right, enlivening the whole scene. As promoted by Xu Beihong, the genre of Flower and Bird paintings was once again revived by both great artists.revived by both great artists.
