Her work which incorporates African and Chinese art forms has been successful enough for some to be exhibited in the National Museum of China.
Ada Yang who exhibited her works in her native Sierra Leone at Bintumani Hotel in Freetown on Friday 20th December 2013 said God created mankind in his own image and likeness. Therefore there is need for the existence of love among human beings devoid of ethnic origin or nationality. She explained that she hailed from a poor but humble family, adding that this is one of the reasons why she frowns at extreme dislike among Sierra Leoneans. She thanked God for seeing her through all the crucibles of life.
Recently she won a contest organized in Beijing on Chinese New Year’s Day. Ada Yang was crowned as the most popular Africa female celebrity of the year 2016. The awards came after a huge two days celebration of the Du Yi International Festival at the China World Trade Center Building.
