Profound art that lasts, great statesmen, mavericks who go against the grain of their own times, they are all men and women, very like you and me. We all have stories. Their stories are parsed and studied for significance by those looking for answers and meaning. Thus, their stories are filtered through the perceptions and purposes of the storytellers, becoming part of the narrative. Stories and their many tellers, shining light and shading the truth.


Master Hongyi might be one of us born with the gift — or the curse — of having to be his own man, of bending the probability of his existence to his own design.
