As an outstanding musician and art educator in China, Li Shutong has successively trained famous artists such as Feng Zikai, Pan Tianshou and musician Liu Zhiping.

For Master Hongyi who gave up all art later, or he didn't want to mention the name "Li Shutong" again. When the scenery of the mortal world has been seen, I am afraid that the scenery of another field is also ready to come out, calling him another journey of life, just as Feng Zikai once used "three floors" to explain the reason why he became a monk.
"One is material life, the other is spiritual life, and the third is soul life; Material life is food and clothing, spiritual life is academic literature and art, and soul life is religion. " Feng Zikai once bluntly said, "There is a kind of person who has good feet and is not satisfied with the second floor, so he takes the stairs and climbs to the third floor. They are serious. It is not enough to meet material and spiritual needs, but also to explore the truth of life.
In their view, property and reputation are foreign objects, and academic literature and art are all temporary beauty, and Li Shutong, the master of Hongyi, is the best example. "
