Further details

After Xu Beihong and Loh Ching Chuan met in February 1941, the two spent much time together, with Loh inviting Xu to stay long-term at his Nam Kok Hotel in Penang. Xu’s stay in Penang was a rare period of relaxation during his Southeast Asia journey. During this time, Loh’s young son often observed Xu Beihong painting in his room at the hotel. This painting was created and gifted to Loh by the artist in March 1941 during his stay. It depicts an energetic horse standing in solitude on the grassland, looking back, echoing the poetic phrase “In the autumn wind, turning back to look over a thousand miles to recall the old battleground.” The horse stands bravely against the wind, its mane blowing in the breeze, exuding a sense of heroic independence, expressing the artist’s resilience and passion during the challenging times of the war. The gifting of this painting at the beginning of Xu and Loh’s acquaintance reflects mutual respect and encouragement among the Chinese people.
