My Daughter Took My Painting to Be Appraised, and They Called It a Fake?

At an antiques appraisal show, a five-year-old girl brings out a painting of Jiangnan's waterways by the ink painter Chu Cheng.

The experts examine the painting and conclude that, although it has some of Chu Cheng's artistic flair, its style is childish and its technique crude.

Their final verdict: it's a forgery.

An expert snaps, "You think you can fool people by having a child pass off a fake?"

He then tears the painting to pieces right there on the show.

The little girl bursts into tears. "My mom gave this to me! It's real!"

Just then, Chu Cheng arrives at the studio.

"This painting is my work. I painted it when I was young..."

The little girl immediately throws herself into Chu Cheng's arms. "Dad, I've finally found you."

After this incident, Chu Cheng gradually comes into the public eye.

People discover that Chu Cheng isn't just a painter.

"What? Nine of the ten most popular songs right now were composed by Chu Cheng?"

"No way! He wrote the novel I'm reading too? Please update already!"
