Gu Weijing saw a short text at the link below, seemingly a review given by the curatorial committee for this painting at the time.
[The artist's line expression is not precise enough, and the oil painting technique appears immature. However, the painter portrayed the spirit of struggling with the sea and the tenacious vitality of the fisherman. The artist depicted the tough-guy spirit of battling the ocean from an observer's perspective, giving the judges a unique marine view in the whole painting.]
[Hence specially selected for inclusion in the master group exhibition.]
"If it's not painting skill, then it should be impressive emotion; at least one of them should be present."
Gu Weijing nodded.
