Large Medium SmallEighty-five classic pieces by artist-turned-social activist He Xiangning will go on display for a month in memory of the 15th anniversary of the founding of He Xiangning Art Museum in Guangdong province's Shenzhen.
He (1878-1972) married senior Kuomingtang statesman Liao Zhongkai and followed her husband to Japan, where she met Sun Yat-sen and devoted herself to the revolutionary movement.
