Despite the commotion over the unexpected ranking of giving and receiving, the appearance of Master Xue's "Worker, Peasant, Soldier" also excited many in the audience.
The atmosphere was instantly electrified!
"Is this actually a rather realistic traditional Chinese painting?!"
"No wonder it ranked second, perfectly combining the traditional essence of Chinese painting with modern sketching!"
"And what's miraculous is that there isn't even a hint of discordance?"
"Master Xue truly lives up to his name, creating a thriving ambiance for the workers, peasants, and soldiers!"
"What does this represent?"
"Hope!"
Yes, it was hope.
This was the theme Master Xue came up with on his own after seeing Master Xu's "Gallop Horse Painting," and it was also the only piece at the scene that reflected the theme of "hope".
"How many votes did this painting get? Oh my~~~~ It actually reached 398 votes, such a high approval rate!"
