Features: When my father passed away, I was only sixteen years old. During my youth, I loved and cherished him, but I couldn’t truly understand him. Later, after experiencing the joys and sorrows of life and delving deeper into his teachings, I finally truly got close to him. My feelings for my father gradually evolved into reverence and love for the "backbone of the Chinese nation." As a painter and poet, a scholar and warrior, he was unwavering in his dedication to truth, bridging Eastern and Western cultures, blending ancient and modern, thinking independently, and pioneering innovation. Starting with the pursuit of truth and beauty, he devoted himself to the ideal of beauty, embodying integrity and resilience in the face of adversity. With knife and plow, pen and ink, he forged an independent and upright character, shaping a true image of a great person. He realized his pursuit and creation of beauty, composing a moving and magnificent life epic with blood and life.
Born at the turn of the century, nourished by the ancient and mystical land of China, and nurtured by the winds of Europe and America, Wen Yiduo stood at the forefront of a fierce collision between Eastern and Western cultures, ancient and modern traditions. Driven by a sense of mission to revitalize China, he embodied multiple qualities and talents—thinking, exploring, pursuing, and creating—leaving behind a precious spiritual cultural heritage for his beloved motherland and people.
