Features: A great artist, he did not desire success. What he needed was greatness, not the vanity of ordinary people, not the victory of warlords, but the destruction of all time, containing the spirit of martyrdom. He endured extraordinary hardships and humiliation, yet his life was not constrained. Poverty and solitude constantly tempered his soul. Even amidst sorrowful songs, he drew courage to uplift himself. He was truly a hero who created his era, not a victim of traditional customs, nor a slave to society, to be praised and played with. A great artist, through relentless struggle and continuous creation, revolutionized traditional art. He was indeed a rebel in the world of art.
