近日欣闻新加坡传奇人士云龙子大师作为杰出华人代表来京出席2020年华人楷模盛典。
因目前非常时期，有不能赴京与他见面一叙尽地主之谊之遗憾，然去年与云龙子大师相识相叙之景历历在目。
去年十一月下旬，应新加坡首届中华民族非物质文化遗产国博览会之邀，我与多名海派书画艺术家出席了这次盛典。在新家坡期间，听到多位新加坡朋友提到了云龙子大师。
云龙子大师在新加坡富具传奇，他出生于易经世家，于风水易经方面在星州可称首屈，然他又是一个资深画家，曾在泰国荷兰西班牙等地举办过十余次展览，作品广为世人著名人士收藏，柬埔寨诺罗敦·西哈莫尼国王、诺罗敦·莫尼列太后、布拜德威公主、天娑王子、威泽立武王子、释万纳礼王子与占世达公主等柬埔塞王族尤其对云龙子先生作品情有独钟，而且因收藏也与大师结成好友。
在新加坡他作品的藏家和粉丝如云，蜚声高振。大师盛名，神交切切，在新加坡中央美术馆付文林馆长的引见下，于大师的旺财馆，我们见到了风尘朴朴刚从柬埔寨回来云龙子先生。
大师慈目善眉，一袭轻逸的长衫更显得道骨仙风。我们虽是初次相见但却一见如故，似曾相识。云龙子先生很好客，我们也饶有逸情地参观了他的艺术作品。
云龙子大师自幼学画。而如今他的作品融入了风水易经元素更令人叹为观止。他向作品题材即有鳯凰飞舞，神龙腾天，孔雀展屏，也有牡丹，荷花，葫芦，灵芝，幽兰，百合等，寓意吉祥和谐，发达呈祥。他的每幅作品都是诚付心血精心制作。画面因多层复敷，显得层层迭选，有着只可心感的神味。画中中国文化的元素和西洋文化的元素相辅相成，相得益彰。而作画的特殊材料和贵金属的镶嵌更使画面大气雍容华贵，尤其是于无灯光时，在手电导视中更是灯移景异，光斑珀璃，似幻似梦，令观者惊叹不已。
至今虽已过去几个月，但一旦回忆起当时情景，余韵悠长。云龙子先生也十分注重艺术交流，当得知我们也在狮城办展时，翌日一早就特地来到我们展场参观，我们当日与之交流甚欢。
在星岛，我和云龙子先生虽见了两面，但彼此因见界理念相合，印象甚深。今又欣闻云龙子大师在经济、文化领域的杰出贡献，今年荣获华人楷模·金鼎奖、公益奖、艺术成就奖和2019行业领军人物，和被授予建国七十周年·易经金牌大师等七项称号并荣膺了“同根同梦·2020华人春节联欢晚会常务副主席”。
谨以此小文予以衷心祝贺，願云龙子大师事业艺术不断进取，更上层楼。

Singapore’s legendary Master Yun Long Zi was in Beijing recently to attend the 2020 Chinese Role Model Awards ceremony, in recognition of his contributions as an outstanding Chinese.
It is regretful that I cannot meet him and show him around Beijing during this period. I still vividly remember my first meeting with Master Yun.
It was in late-November last year when several artists of the Shanghai School and I attended the inaugural Singapore Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage International Expo. During my time in Singapore, Master Yun’s name was mentioned numerous times by my local friends.
They spoke fondly about the legendary accomplishments of Master Yun in Singapore and that he came from a renowned fengshui family and was well-versed in the art of fengshui himself. Master Yun is also a professional painter who has held over ten personal art exhibitions in Thailand, the Netherlands and Spain, amongst other countries. His artworks are collected by renowned international personalities such as Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihamoni, Queen Mother Norodom Monineath, Princess Norodom Buppha Devi, Prince Sisowath Tesso, Sisowath Chivannariddh and Princess Norodom Chansita, of Cambodia. The Cambodian royal family is particularly fond of Master Yun’s works and they have built a strong relationship based on an appreciation of his art.
It is no surprise that Master Yun’s paintings are very popular in Singapore and are collected by art enthusiast. At the introduction of Mr Fu Wenlin, Director of Singapore Central Art Museum, I had the honour to meet Master Yun after his return from Cambodia at his fengshui gallery—Lotus on Water.
Master Yun has such a kind and approachable appearance, he is almost sage-like in his long gown. Being a hospitable person, Master Yun showed us around the gallery and introduced his works.
Master Yun started painting from an early age and in recent years, he has successfully incorporated fengshui elements into his artworks. Subjects in his paintings include phoenixes, dragons, peacocks, peonies, lotus, gourd, lingzhi, orchid, lily and other auspicious motifs. Every of his painting is a painstaking piece of art reflecting the amount of effort he put in. As Master Yun’s paintings are created through multiple overlays, it reveals a sense of depth which can only be appreciated by the heart. Elements of both Chinese and Western cultures complement each other perfectly in his works. The special painting mediums employed include precious metals which give the paintings an extra sense of magnificence. Its distinct appearance when in darkness and under the light, surprises the viewer, creating an array of brilliant images that one can only scream marvellous.
It might have been a few months, but I am still in awe whenever I recall that scene. Master Yun paid great attention to artistic exchanges. When he learnt that we were holding an exhibition in Singapore, he turned up at the gallery the next morning and we had a most joyous discussion.
While I only met Master Yun twice during my time in Singapore, he left a deep impression on me. Today, I am elated to hear that Master Yun’s contributions to the economy and cultural scene are recognised and he has been awarded numerous awards. They include the Chinese Role Model Golden Caldron Award, Charity Award, Outstanding Art Award and the Industry Leader Award. He was also conferred seven titles including the 70 Years of Nation Building I-Ching Gold Master title and was also appointed the vice-chairman of the “Same Root Same Dream Chinese Role Model” committee.
I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations to Master Yun Long Zi and wish that his career and art will rise to greater heights.
-- Wu Chao, Chairman of Wu Changshuo Art Society
