Awards
He began his career illustrating and writing comic strips and children's books in the 1950s. He worked in Children's Publishing House in Shanghai. He was a member of the Chinese Artists Association and won national awards for his comics. He is best known for his detailed figure paintings published in his Book of 100 Beauties. His paintings of graceful ladies are based on many fairy tales, legends, poetry and historical figures. His style is an elegant line drawing outline around on figures with delicate or deep color and suggested backgrounds. The ink brushwork is from the traditional Chinese technique, with a mix of Western watercolor technique. These paintings are popular in China due to their wide appeal of idealized female beauty, vitality and historic nostalgia. They have appeared in many books and calendars.
Hua's 1963 work, Traffic Station's Story won the First National second prize for comic writing. Hua's 1981 comic book, White-haired Girl won Second National Assessment by the first painting prize. The Necklace won National third prize for comic writing.
