This painting was inspired by a sudden rainstorm that Fu experienced while strolling on a mountain path. Struck by the scene’s beauty, he later created this painting. In writing about the event he observed, “This is creativity by chance, based on the spontaneity of the artist’s intuitive response. Yet, one accidental achievement is based on uncountable travels from which the artist gains nourishment.”
