He was deeply loved and guided by Guan Shan Yue and Lai Hung Choi, masters of the Lingnan School of painting, and studied with his friend Bao Yue Ting, a famous red Chinese painter, which helped him gain a lot from his art. In the early 1980s, when the painter Lu Rong’en had an exhibition in Guangzhou, Mr. Su Gengchun, a famous master of painting and calligraphy, wrote on the spot after seeing the exhibition: “Young and promising, he has created his own path, combining the East and the West, his paintings will shine.”
