Artist? Chinese cultural revolution era painting

I just bought this interesting Chinese painting on silk depicting stilt dancers relaxing on the back of a flat bed truck - note the one man smoking a cigarette.

The artist seems to have done a very good job of capturing the festive colors of the celebration (in all of its traditional Chinese glory), but I think more importantly, the realism of this scene of 'every day life' really speaks to me (the Western influence).

A friend said the piece is dated spring of 1985 and signed Chen Ting (陈挺).

However, the only artist I can find by this name is a landscape artist (1911-1992). I do not think the 'Ting' part of the name is correctly translated.

Some help would be appreciated. Many thanks as always.
Tim
