She benefited in four ways. First, it was healthy for her body. Second, her mind received training. Third, it deepened her understanding of the Party. Fourth, it strengthened her confidence, intensified learning, and thought remolding. I added: \u201cGiven the training from the Party, we should work hard together to achieve better results.\u201d Just when the healthy of my eldest daughter, Yishan, has been gradually improving, I wield the brush to write these lines of Gongbu [Du Fu] for inspiration.

"description": "This set of fan paintings offers glimpses into the artist\u2019s private world and differs from the state-commissioned works that fulfilled his social duty. Whether depicting travelers in green mountains or a recluse listening to the sound of rushing water, the artwork and its subject matter are vehicles for self-expression. In his portrait of Du Fu, Fu mentioned his wife\u2019s return from training with the Communist Party. The inscription provides insight into the life experience and public duties of each family in a revolutionary society.",
