Features: Over the years, I have had the opportunity to frequently accompany Elder Huang, witnessing his astonishingly large murals that cover entire walls with his effortless brushwork; observing his humorous sketches that elicit laughter with just a few strokes; and reading his thought-provoking fables that leave me in awe. Listening to Elder Huang’s endless stories is a daily delight—whether in Wanhe Tang, Yushi Shanfang, during travels, or in a café, interesting stories seem to burst from his belly one after another. It’s truly remarkable how he has encountered so many coincidences in life. In a world devoid of reverence and purity today, respected Elder Huang Yongyu is a rare phenomenon. From Wanhe Tang to Yushi Shanfang is about Huang Yongyu, who turns 80 this year. This book records various aspects of his life and work, offering a cross-section of history.
