Shared Joys with Old Tipplers

I had painted a picture entitled ‘Shared Joys of the Old Tippler’s Pavilion’ several years ago. Repainting the scene now, I find that it is a true reflection of human happiness. Happiness is a pursuit, a philosophy, a demeanour, and self-cultivation.

醉翁同乐图

余数年前有《醉翁亭同乐图》之作,今又作此图,为真人生乐境也。乐为追求、为哲学、为风度、为修养也。
