‌NOTE:

As a leader of the cultural circle in Hong Kong, famous artists such as Gao Jianfu, Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong and Liu Haisu visited him when they held exhibitions in Hong Kong. Using his understanding of painting and calligraphy, he subsequently organized a club dedicated to literature and the arts in 1927, drawing in members from the globe.
