208K0

He is an international ambassador of Chinese culture, a member of the Royal Society of Arts, and an academician of the American Academy of Arts. He is an internationally renowned essayist, painter, poet, and calligrapher. He is highly praised by Western academic and art circles. Gombrich praised him as "talented and charming." He has a wide circle of friends, including Yang Liansheng, Xu Beihong, Liu Haisu, Mei Lanfang, Xiong Shiyi, Xiao Qian, Ye Junjian, Wu Shichang, Suzuki Dazhuo, Watson... During his travels, he likes to remain silent, putting aside politics, war and other factors to depict the scenery and humanity of foreign lands. However, a series of timeless painting notes have successfully bridged the gap between Chinese and Western cultures and become classics that will last forever. Today we reread his works published in the middle of the last century, not only to understand the cultural and historical background of a distant country, but also to enjoy the indifferent joy of walking and observing, to understand the mood of culture and life, to re-understand the world around us, and to feel the beauty of life. Since his first visit in 1953, Jiang Yi has visited San Francisco many times in the past ten years. In this avant-garde and traditional city, you can venture up the Golden Gate Bridge, visit the twin peaks surrounded by mist, which are both real and illusory, stroll through the alleys full of daffodils, and narrate the history and legends of San Francisco. What makes people linger is not only the picturesque natural scenery of San Francisco, but also the American power displayed by this city - the fusion of Puritan spirit and pioneer spirit.
