IT was the first time the 75-year-old Taiwan's writer and cultural figurehead Li Ao came to Hangzhou.
Wearing his signature red jacket, Li arrived on August 30 and started his tour after having lunch at West Lake State Guest Hotel.
His first stop was Zhejiang Museum where he spent almost an hour looking at the ancient painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains and other treasures. He said he wanted to see the painting before it is moved to Taiwan.
He then went to the memorial statues of Qiu Jin, a female poet and revolutionist around the 1900s, and Yue Fei, a patriot and military general of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). After that, he went to Lingyin Temple and West Lake.
At a press conference that evening, Li talked about a wide range of topics. Liu Changle, chief executive officer of Phoenix TV, told reporters that Li said to him twice in private that "Hangzhou is a great place."
Before coming to Hangzhou, Li presumed it might be his last visit to the Chinese mainland, but during the press conference he expressed a desire to return if possible. He said he could move his study room somewhere near West Lake, or he joked that he could place his tomb near Su Xiaoxiao's, a famous courtesan and female poet in the Southern Qi Dynasty (479-502).
Li returned to Taiwan with his daughter the next day. Wang Zhihui, Li's wife, was going to send their son Li Kan to Peking University for registration.
