Brother Li worked in an art design department in Anshan city in Liaoning. When he was working in the state-owned enterprise, he specialized in the design and painting of product labels and logos. Some of his trademark designs have become famous in Anshan, which is known as the Steel City of China. The trademark of the Sportsman bicycle, which was once ridden by former US President George W.

He has designed a number of churches in Northeast China. His most notable works are the Holy Bible Cultural Theme Park and the church in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. He worked in collaboration with foreign believers and participated in the creation, design, and decoration of them. Li developed his creative skills by continuing to learn and focus on further education. Born in 1957, he can skillfully operate CAD and other software to do designs on the computer. Therefore, his design of the church has not only Chinese characteristics but also has elements of foreign designs from Europe and America. His works not only have Catholic elements but also have the characteristics of Protestant Christianity. This kind of design and work which combine the Chinese and Western World and integrate the style of Christian aesthetics have been affirmed and adopted by some domestic churches.
Brother Li Zuoren is a devout believer. He reads the Bible and prays every day, and insists on attending church services. He has participated in various activities organized by the church and has painted many oil paintings with Christian themes for the church. Brother Li studied domestic and foreign Christian paintings. Then he created various oil paintings depicting the words and deeds of Jesus, such as the Five Loaves and Two Fishes, Entering the Holy City of Jerusalem, the Prayer in Gethsemane, the Crucifixion, and the Ascension. The Christian CC&TSPM in Liaoning Province and some churches have displayed and collected some of his works.
In addition, brother Li is also good at building decoration, especially the interior of the church and the interior and exterior of villas and residences.
1 Kings 7:14 says about Hiram the workman of Tyre, "He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work." In ancient times, God gave Hiram wisdom, intelligence and skill, and our Lord today has many Hirams who are dedicated to Him.

在中国东北，有一位主内甘于奉献的建筑设计师和画家。他曾经为吉林长春活水基督教堂、辽宁沈阳圣经主题公园、橄榄山基督教堂、黑龙江密山等教堂建筑做过设计、装饰装修；多次有作品参加辽宁省基督教两会画展。
里佐仁弟兄，满族信徒。毕业于恢复高考后第一批沈阳鲁迅美术学院，是当时不脱产学习三年的高材生。他擅长建筑设计和油画作品。里弟兄曾在辽宁鞍山市的美术设计部门工作过，他在国企工作的时候就是专门从事产品标识、商标设计和绘画工作，有的商标设计成为他所在的城市钢都鞍山市的著名商标，如前美国总统小布什骑过的“斯波兹曼自行车”的商标就是出自于他的巧手设计。他的设计涉及房地产、商业、农业、餐饮、银行等各个领域。在主内，他设计的教堂建筑和油画作品受到高度好评。
他为东北的一些教会设计了教堂，最著名的就是与国外信徒一起合作，参与了辽宁沈阳的圣经主题公园、教堂的创意、设计、装饰装修。他非常注重于创作技艺的再学习和接受再教育。生于1957年，他能够熟练的在计算机上操作CAD等各种软件做设计。因此他在教堂方面的设计，既有中国的特色，又有欧美国外的借鉴，既有天主教堂的因素，更有基督教新教的特点，这种中西结合、集基督教美学的风格于一体的设计和作品，赢得了国内一些教会的肯定和采纳。
里佐仁弟兄虔诚地信主，每天都在读经、祷告，坚持到教堂礼拜。他参与教会组织的各种活动，并为教会绘制了多幅信仰的油画作品。在此基础上，里弟兄参阅了大量国内外基督教的绘画。所以他所创作的主耶稣基督的各种油画和作品，如五饼二鱼、荣入圣城耶路撒冷、客西马尼的祷告、十字架受难、耶稣基督升天（参考下英文的）等。在辽宁省基督教两会和有的教堂均有展示和收藏。
此外，里弟兄还擅长于建筑的装饰装修，尤其是教堂内部和别墅、住宅室内外方面。
圣经列王记上 7:14节记载：推罗的匠人户兰，“他是拿弗他利支派中一个寡妇的儿子，他父亲是推罗人，作铜匠的。户兰满有智慧、聪明、技能，善于各样铜作。他来到所罗门王那里，做王一切所要做的。”古时候神赐予户兰智慧、聪明和技能，当今我们的主内也有许多新时代的“户兰”。
主内建筑设计师和画家里佐仁弟兄：愿为信仰尽我的绵薄之力
