(Primary Title)
Zhu Yixiong (I-Hsiung Ju) 朱一雄, American, 1923 – 2012 (Artist)
Ju illustrated the natural wonder of Xiling Gorge, featuring rugged mountain peaks, waterfalls, and clouds of mist. Named after a nearby mountain in Hubei Province, Xiling Gorge stretches 41 miles and is the longest gorge among the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River. Prior to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, Xiling was the most dangerous one, with a narrow waterway and fast-moving currents.

遠自我们的祖先。 汗水淚水血水都流進了江水，青年壮年老年亦交给了它带走。 遠自我们的祖先，長江是摇篮，是家園，是墓地。 回憶往昔，怎能不叫人寒慄？丙戌冬日丹鋒詩画於佛州旅次
