The auction announcement stated that the auction was held after the statutory announcement period, and the text description and pictures provided by the auctioneer on the auction object were only for the reference of the bidder and did not constitute any guarantee for the subject matter.
The paintings are currently stored in the Yunyan District of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, but the auction announcement does not indicate the specific dimensions.
Upstream journalists called the relevant public telephones to learn more, but were not answered. Industry insiders believe that the 5 works of Xu Beihong auctioned by the People's Procuratorate of Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, should be the items involved in the case.
Liao Jingwen (April 1923 – June 16, 2015), in the 1940s, was engaged to Xu Beihong in Guiyang. At that time, Liao Jingwen was 20 years old and Xu Beihong was 48 years old.
The two married in 1945, and Liao Jingwen assisted Xu Beihong in his work and took care of his life until Xu Beihong's sudden cerebral hemorrhage died in 1953.
Liao Jingwen was the director of Xu Beihong Memorial Hall, the honorary president of Xu Beihong Painting Academy, the chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers and Painters Association, and the honorary dean of Xu Beihong Art College of Shanghai Maritime University.
Tang Zhaoxin, director of the China Collectors Association and an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal, said that there was no paper authenticity, but from the picture, the painting should have no problems and belong to the painting well.

Upstream news reporters learned that Xu Beihong's oil painting "Slave and Lion" was sold for about HK$53 million in Hong Kong in 2006, becoming the highest priced Chinese oil painting at that time. After 15 years, the painting reappeared at Christie's Hong Kong Spring Auction on the evening of May 24, 2021, and the estimated value has risen to HK$350 million to HK$450 million (about RMB290 million to RMB370 million), up seven or eight times, but the auction has not been sold.
