| 摘 要： | In July 2004, Chen Hao, acting curator of Zhejiang Museum, asked me to meet a father and his son for a 70-year-old legend. Wang Jiying was the father. He used to be curator of the museum. His son was a company's chief executive. They showed me many old paintings by an artist named Sha Qi. These paintings reminded me of legends I heard in Ningbo, my hometown. I was amazed by the modernistic strokes in the paintings. It was said that the talented artist painted them in the 1930s and 1940s. I calculated that Sha Qi would be nearly 100 years old in 2004. Where was he now? Where did the paintings come from?
