After listening to the translator read out the English title of the poem.
Wells, with his white beard, was visibly agitated and nearly burst into tears again.
I never expected this.
Wang Yueheng even used the date he purchased the work as the title.
In the future, when people mention the origin of the title of this poem...
The auction tonight will definitely be mentioned.
Especially.
Wells, the first science fiction writer to photograph Wang Yueheng's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" and his poems!
His own name and the story of commemorating his deceased wife also have the opportunity to be remembered for generations along with this masterpiece!
One million US dollars for a perfect calligraphy work and the naming rights to a beautifully written poem—it's such a great deal!
If there is another chance like this.
Wells is certain that he will still bid without hesitation!
Just as Wells walked off the stage, deeply moved, with his bid items...
The auction process continued on site.
After the auction of his artwork was completed, Wang Yueheng made an excuse to make a phone call.
Wu Zhu and I temporarily left the scene from backstage.
More than ten other personal items donated by other celebrities were subsequently auctioned off to promising buyers.
However, no other item has reached the level of a million dollars.
Even items that surpassed basketball star Kobe Bryant's $370,000 auction price did not appear again.
The most valuable item in the subsequent auction.
It is an abstract oil painting donated by actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
He won the bid from elsewhere; it was a work by Andrea, a renowned contemporary Italian oil painter.
Ultimately, this colorful work, filled with acrylic paint and titled "Chaotic World," sold for $300,000.
Compared to the works of other abstract painters, this is quite a high price.
"I really didn't expect that."
"Both are works of art, but the work of oil painting master Andrea was actually defeated by Wang Yueheng's 'Preface to the Orchid Pavilion'!"
Jiang Longxing, leaning on his cane, stared at the oil painting on the stage that had been sold for 300,000 yuan and said with a sigh.
In his memory.
Apart from those cultural relics that are inherently valuable.
This is the first time that works by Chinese artists or singers have been so sought after at a charity auction gala.
Previously, this place was the domain of foreign celebrities.
"Old Jiang, Wang Yueheng's work is not just a calligraphy piece, but also includes a song and a poem called 'Jiang Cheng Zi'!"
Chairman Wang Zhan smiled and reminded the old man.
"In short, tonight's charity gala was the most spectacular one in all the years our Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce has ever held!"
Chamber of Commerce Director Yuan Jianfu added from the side.
"It's a pity that Vice President Nokland won't be able to witness such a spectacular scene..."
Then, Min Yufeng, an overseas Chinese businessman whose ancestral home is Jiangshi, spoke in a low voice from the side.
Mentioning this name.
Several prominent figures from the overseas Chinese business associations fell silent once again, their faces showing a shared sadness.
After the entire auction concludes.
Next, we will commemorate the vice president of the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce who passed away "accidentally".
to this end.
The Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce also specially invited a well-known local high-pitched female singer.
Beyoncé is also a top-tier female singer from the United States!
Let's sing a song in remembrance of our departed American colleague.
"It's a pity that if I had known Wang Yueheng's English was also so good, I would have invited him to write a song for Mr. Knoxland too..."
Thinking of Wang Yueheng's amazing English rap in "Descendants of the Dragon," Yuan Jianfu sighed.
If you prepare in advance.
I'm sure this talented young singer will also be able to create an English song suitable for tonight's theme of remembrance.
"I heard that when he first debuted, he participated in a singing competition where he composed songs on the spot."
"And what they excel at most is improvising on set topics."
"What if it were...now?"
Qiao A'gen, a committee member who had been quietly observing Wang Yueheng, suddenly asked a question.
