Ren Bishi at the road of the Long March
Ren Bishi: One of founders of China P. R. .Could be the head of China. (S.B. Wang is his grandnephew).
After viewing this painting, can you tell why the artist choose this action--fishing? A 10 point out of 100 total, toward a book prize.

Hi SB,

Who set the agenda?

I have thought about your riddle, but can not come up with any single and only answer to it.

Can you answer mine ?

Allan

Allan:
Thanks for your interest. This is not a riddle but a fairly basic thing. One needs to know how to read people: his occupation, character---we've heard this repeatedly, body language, implied meaning, etc.

SB,

If the body language is the key, then it could be that the man fishing (Ren Bishi) will demonstrate to the soldier that he is in no hurry with what he is doing (revolution) and that fishing serves many purposes such as living of the land, time to meditation and reflection. The soldier seem anxious to get on.

What I meant with agenda was that this picture could be commissioned to show a specific situation that could serve as education for the revolutionaries and in that way it would not be the painters idea/agenda.

Allan

Allan: Nice try!
What you said "no hurry" and "living" are really good, part of the answer. You would get some point. But,no hurry to the revolution?
Dear Allan, the burden of the whole army, over 20 thousand life plus one new born baby of his, is on his back.
It is another phrase, "danger exists at every second" when enemy is quite close.
You may consult with someone.
It is the artist's idea. He is a teacher of the Art Col. of the P.L.A. After 1976, artists are not afraid as much as before. Ren is best loved, even Zhou Enlai's image was severely tarnished, especially, after the Cultural Revolution, a calamity, many thought if Ren were alive, many life could have been saved.
