Oh, Changbai Mountain!
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.This painting depicts the dense primeval forest that Fu encountered on his way to the snow-covered Changbai Mountain—barely visible between the tall pine trees. Despite the many hours traveling in the “never-ending pine-tree hutong [alleys],” Fu was eager and excited to ascend the mountain.
