Wu Guanzhong recalled, "it was an earnest request from the people and the Museum of Art which asked me to give my first ever public demonstration of on-site sketching. I had never had anyone looking on while I painted, much less to give a demonstration. You can't get into the mood when it is a show. They explained however few painters did on-site sketching these days and young artists simply had no idea of how to go about it. And they persisted asking me to take the opportunity to show some support to our youngsters. Faced with this enthusiasm from the host and the audience, I couldn't say no and agreed to just this once as a kind of 'service'. Since it's a service, success or not is out of the question."
