Qi Baishi was born into a poor family with "half a year's grain of chaff and vegetables". Among the numerous painting themes, fruits and vegetables are the ones that can touch the homesickness complex of the elderly most.

Pomegranates, peaches, persimmons, turnips, cabbage, bamboo shoots, loofah, mushrooms, peppers, squash, etc. These are all things Qi Baishi has eaten and grown since childhood, which are related to his childhood memories and homesickness. Old man Baishi places these everyday things on a deep spiritual connotation, which transcends the content and form of painting.

Thank you.
