Further details

Wu Zhongyi (1911-2006), an expert and educator of Modern Textile Technology, was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. After graduating from high school, Wu started his career as a trainee engineer in Shenxin Ninth Factory, where his father Mr. Wu Kunsheng worked as the factory director. In 1946, Wu was promoted to associate manager, when the company became the cotton textile factory with the largest scale and the newest facilities in this period. During the late 1940s, the society was in a turbulent state, hence Shenxin was moved to the south. Wu Kunsheng then established Wyler Textiles in Hong Kong with other joint shareholders in 1948, when Wu Zhongyi followed his father to Hong Kong. Later in August 1949, Wu return to Shanghai to maintain the production of Shenxin Ninth Factory entrusted by his father. He then became the Deputy General Manager, and further took the role of the factory director after the public-private joint management was launched. He was also the Vice President of Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce and had joined the first Shanghai National People’s Congress.
In early 1976, his father’s death brought him to Hong Kong, which he became the Chairman of Weyler Textile Company (Hong Kong) before he moved back to Shanghai in March 1979.
Mr. Wu Zhongyi was an enthusiast of collecting Chinese paintings in his lifetime. He had close relationships with several artists from both Shanghai and Hong Kong. Part of his collection has been sold by Christie’s with exceptional prices. According to Wu’s daughter, the present owner of the collection, when Wu moved to Hong Kong, he asked his friend for contact and purchased a huge number of paintings from Lin Fengmian when he heard that Lin was in Hong Kong, living in poverty. Lin’s paintings were hung in almost every room of Wu’s former residence. The collection was later passed to Wu’s children, where the present painting was carefully preserved until today.
