Yuehua è nato a Pechino, in Cina.
La madre di Yuehua era un'insegnante d'arte e gli ha insegnato a disegnare.
Ha partecipato ad attività artistiche a scuola.
Il suo sogno era entrare all'Accademia di Belle Arti.
Tuttavia, a quel tempo, agli studenti non era permesso andare al college a meno che non fossero stati scelti da qualcuno nel governo.


Dopo il liceo Yuehua andò nell'esercito.
Nell'esercito non c'erano molte opportunità di disegnare, ma quando si presentava l'occasione disegnava ciò che vedeva nei dintorni.
Quattro anni dopo, Yuehua lasciò l'esercito ed entrò nel cinema e disegnò manifesti cinematografici.
Ogni poster del film era lungo 2 metri x 7 metri e di solito ci volevano uno o due giorni per finire di dipingere.


Durante questo periodo Yuehua è stato ammesso alla Central Academy of Arts and Design Night University (ribattezzata Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts).
Il segretario del ministro dell'industria elettronica ha invitato Yuehua a lavorare professionalmente.
Ha lavorato nel Consiglio di Stato e nel Comitato permanente dell'NPC dal 1982 al 1987, dopodiché ha lavorato come curatore del Museo di arte e design di Pechino.
Yuehua ha lavorato lì fino al 2000 quando è emigrato negli Stati Uniti per diventare un pittore a tempo pieno.
