Zhang added that the temporary exhibition serves as a larger presentation of Chang's works housed at the museum, apart from the collection of Shanghai-based Long Museum and the private collection of Chang Jiahuang, Chang Shuhong's son.

Chang Jiahuang said at the exhibition's opening ceremony on Sunday that as his parents' student, secretary and assistant, he witnessed their twists and turns, accompanied their creation and research, and experienced their art and spirits, following which he grew to become introspective, modest and rigorous.

According to him, the ongoing exhibition is the largest display of Chang Shuhong's paintings since 1990 and shows a clear presentation of the master's spirits conveyed through his works.
