On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Hao Qi Chang Liu (the Long Flow of Noble Spirit) – a grand epic scroll depicting the War of Resistance – has been captivating countless visitors at its dual-venue exhibition in Zhengzhou (Indoor Venue at Jinboda Live, Erqi Square; Open-Air Venue at Shifo Art Square) since its opening.

To date, we have collected wonderful comments and reflections from numerous creators, scholars, and visitors. Among them, cultural scholar Deng Kangyan published an article titled “Towering Waves, Steep Cliffs, Hao Qi Chang Liu” on his personal WeChat Official Account, providing an in-depth review of the exhibition’s development. We now organize and release these precious contents, and will continue to collect more voices in the future, inviting the public to join this feast of history and art.

1. Poems Expressing Sentiments: Conveying Feelings for the War of Resistance Through Brush and Ink

Impressions of Viewing “Hao Qi Chang Liu” at Jinboda (Two Poems)

Poem 1

The autumn sun first shines on Jinbo Gate,
The epic traditional painting makes its debut.
The vast scroll depicts the annals of history,
The glorious martyrs are revered as heroes.
Heroes’ blood stains the mountains and rivers for ten thousand miles,
The national soul is remembered for a thousand autumns.
Lao Kang (referring to a respected figure) would smile in comfort if he looked back,
There will always be successors to hold the banner high.

Poem 2

Fifteen years since its first exhibition on the treasure island,①
Today, the noble spirit arrives in the Central Plains (Zhengzhou).
Generals fought to the death against Japanese invaders,
Warriors fought fiercely in battles against the enemy.
Children of the Yellow River shed hot tears,
Light candles and burn incense to honor the ancestors.
How can the truth of history be altered?
Justice exists naturally between heaven and earth.

“The Grand Scroll ‘Hao Qi Chang Liu’ Reappears in Zhengzhou”

Twenty years of painting endows it with flesh and blood,
Five years of brushwork forges the truth of history.
Tears of loyal souls were shed in Taipei,
Now, the souls of veteran soldiers are commemorated in the Central Plains.
The 800-meter-long scroll records history through images,
Three thousand years of time illuminate the way forward.
Toast to comfort Lao Kang in heaven,
Hao Qi Chang Liu can call back the loyal souls.

2. Exhibition Snapshot: People from All Walks of Life Gather for a Date with History

Ms. Liu Zhen (Founder of “Weekend Sharing”), Ms. Jia Lingmin (Famous Educator), Ms. Fang Yan (Well-Known Online Figure), Mr. Liu Qingfeng (Senior Editor & Photographer of Chongqing Publishing House), Mr. Zheng Jingye (Vice Chairman of Zhengzhou Writers Association; Writer), Mr. Dong Guangping (Eldest Son of General Dong Guoqing, Political Commissar of Henan Military Region, Member of the Standing Committee of Henan Provincial Party Committee, and Political Commissar of the 43rd Army), and Mr. Chen Changhe (Entrepreneur), among others, all made special trips to the exhibition venues. They stood in front of the grand scroll of Hao Qi Chang Liu, touching the memories of the War of Resistance carried in the painting at close range, and feeling the majestic power of the national noble spirit.

 

After viewing the exhibition, Jing Ye, Vice Chairman of Zhengzhou Writers Association and a writer, was deeply moved and left a precise comment: “‘Hao Qi Chang Liu’ is an authentic record of the War of Resistance painted with blood as ink and bones as brushes!” This short sentence not only points out the creative core of the painting – “based on history and rooted in the soul” – but also reveals its cultural value of inheriting national memories and promoting the spirit of heroes.

3. Eternal Noble Spirit: The Development of the “Hao Qi Chang Liu” Exhibition from Taipei to Zhengzhou

In his article “Towering Waves, Steep Cliffs, Hao Qi Chang Liu” published on his WeChat Official Account, cultural scholar Deng Kangyan sorted out the development footprint of Hao Qi Chang Liu in detail, revealing how this grand work connects the historical resonance between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and various regions with art as a bridge:

 

  • July 2010: This historical scroll depicting the War of Resistance, created by more than 50 mainland painters over 5 years (2 meters high and 840 meters long), was first exhibited at the Taipei Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. The grand scroll of Hao Qi Chang Liu covered the inside and outside of the venue, and the stories of the War of Resistance in the brushstrokes crossed the Taiwan Strait, allowing people on both sides of the Strait to look back on their shared historical memories in front of the same painting, becoming an important symbol of cultural empathy between the two sides.
  • June 16, 2014: On the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy, the “Towering Waves” exhibition – an extension of Hao Qi Chang Liu – opened at the Creation and Exhibition Center of Happy Coast, Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen. The exhibition specially selected classic segments from Hao Qi Chang Liu, attracting Whampoa veterans and people from the two sides of the Strait and Hong Kong and Macao to participate, further spreading the “noble spirit” carried by the painting in South China.
  • September 4 to early October 2025: Hao Qi Chang Liu arrived in the Central Plains (Zhengzhou), opening in a dual-venue format (indoor venue at Erqi Square and open-air venue at Shifo Art Square). The 2-meter-high and 840-meter-long epic scroll unfolded in Zhengzhou, not only continuing the original intention of Hao Qi Chang Liu – “commemorating history through art” – but also endowing the spirit of the War of Resistance with new vitality by the Yellow River. As a visitor put it: “A grand painting flows like the great river; Hao Qi Chang Liu lasts forever between heaven and earth.”
