Features: We live in an era without masters. Brushing away the dust of history, we gaze into the backgrounds of those who are about to or have already faded away. Looking back at a piece of history, we seek the figures of masters. In the history behind them, they may have been obscured. However, their achievements and brilliance still shine brightly until this day. They are knowledgeable in both Eastern and Western cultures, they are bold and expressive, they take the rise of China as their mission, and they regard teaching and nurturing people as their calling. They are grand and majestic, they are filled with emotion, they are historical landmarks, and they are the backbone of Chinese culture. The departed are ever-flowing yet never gone; masters are gradually fading further away. What do we have in our time?
