Today, I attended the opening ceremony of the memorial exhibition for Professor Chen Yinhui. I saw many old friends I hadn’t met in a long time, as well as Madam Chen. While appreciating the paintings, I also gained a lot. I was deeply moved by Professor Chen’s words: “Unless I have no bread to eat, I will not sell my paintings.” He even donated his entire retirement fund of four million to establish a scholarship—such generosity is truly admirable.

The exhibition also featured works by Zao Wou-Ki and Chu Teh-Chun, which were absolutely breathtaking. I was reminded of how small I am. Even though I work very hard, it’s still not enough. But I also feel incredibly fortunate—there have always been mentors along the way to help clear my doubts.

Today gave me a deeper understanding of the art of painting. Many of the questions I have are slowly being peeled away, layer by layer, like an onion. When will I reach the core? There’s no need to rush—when the conditions are right, the realization will come naturally. But the prerequisite is that I must keep working harder.

今天參加了陳銀輝老師紀念展的開幕式，見到了許多久未見面的朋友，還有師母。另外在賞畫時又收穫了許多。令我感動的是陳老師說的話「除非沒有麵包可吃，否則我不會賣畫」，及老師將退休金4,000,000全部捐做獎學金。真不容易。另外會場展覽還有趙無極和朱德群的作品，令人嘆為觀止。我知道自己的渺小，雖然很努力，但是還是不夠。但我也非常的幸運，一路上總有前輩的解惑。今天讓我對於繪畫藝術又有更一層的了解。我有許多的疑惑正像撥洋蔥一樣一層一層的撥開。何時會走進核心，不用急因緣具備時自然就會領悟了！但先決條件是自己要更加努力。
