  • the writer's will running script handscroll zhao puchu 1990 1996 ink paper

The scroll consists of three versions of Zhao Puchu's will. The first one was written by him in 1990. The second and third ones were done in 1996 when he was hospitalized and could not find his first version written many years ago. The text of his will showcased his exemplary morality and philosophical attitude towards death. Zhao wrote the three versions respectively at the age of eighty-four and ninety, using deft, strengthful brushstrokes to define the text in refined grace.
