Biography

As a youth, Fēng received a classical education at the Confucian academy run by his father. When Fēng was 13 suì 歲, the academy was turned into a modern school, and he became one of the first students. He was first in his class and in 1914 he became a student at a middle school in Hángzhou1 杭州, where he studied art under Lǐ Shūtóng (who later became the famous artist and monk Hóngyī 弘一). Lǐ recognized Fēng's artistic talent and had a major impact on his later development. While in school, Fēng also studied Japanese.
