The Old Lifestyle in Suzhou

Zhou Wenyong, a Suzhou painter, calls himself 'an ordinary person'. If Zhou Wenyong's pictures of traditional life in Suzhou (totaling about 80 in all) were patched together, they would form a scroll painting depicting life and customs in Suzhou in the 20th century. His pictures describe the daily life of Suzhou people and depict their activities in true and lively images.
