Zhang Bu Began to like painting when he was a kid, but his was by no means an easy life. Being from a working family, he naturally had to exert himself harder than his contemporaries, before he eventually became a famous painter.
Circumspect and farsighted, but not in the least brighter than anybody else, he worked hard, learning even the most minute thing in a repeated and most down-to-earth way. Thus, he was able to master all there is to be mastered. "Heaven Awards the Industrious" - one can certainly reap a rich harvest provided he works hard.
Zhang Bu is quite straight-forward, and very modest too. As a painter, he is well-versed in painting skills. He is forever seeking the new. With a pronounced colour and strong ink, he forms a style and school of his own. He has achieved decisive results in his profession. Thus we can well say that only those who pursue the truth tirelessly can achieve greatly.
