湖南人齊白石，從小沒正規上過學，40歲前沒離開老家，58歲獨闖北京，開始北漂，80多歲爆紅，揚名海外，享年95歲。去年一幅《山水十二條屏》，以9.8億人民幣拍賣成交，創下中國書畫全球第一貴的紀錄。
Qi Baishi was a renowned Chinese painter from Hunan. He received little formal schooling in childhood and first left his hometown at 40. He went to Beijing alone at 58 to work and live there. He built a reputation worldwide in his 80s and passed away at 95. Last year, his work Twelve Landscape Screens was sold for 980 million RMB, thus becoming the most expensive Chinese painting and calligraphy work ever in an auction around the globe.
