Old Master Bai's condition before was known to them; his Alzheimer's disease had become quite severe. Anyway, he often couldn't even recognize his own sons and grandsons, so someone had to be with him twenty-four hours a day.
The Old Master had loved his wife deeply throughout his life.
And Old Lady Bai was skilled at painting landscapes.
However, after falling ill, she wanted to paint but could no longer pick up a brush. Many of her paintings from those turbulent years didn't survive either.
After Old Lady Bai passed away, Old Master Bai became obsessed with appreciating paintings. Even when he became somewhat confused, he never forgot to look at paintings.
In every corner of the Bai Family Old Residence hung landscape paintings gifted by others; however, many were taken down shortly after being hung when Old Master Bai looked at them, shook his head, and made the dismissing gesture of an art connoisseur.
