Stake attention in this memory
A framed picture, angled slightly, hangs on a greyish-green brick wall. The frame is made of light brown wood. Inside the frame, a photograph of an elderly man is displayed alongside Chinese text. The man in the photograph is wearing a reddish-brown knitted cap, glasses, and a thick brown jacket. He is seated, holding a calligraphy brush, and appears to be writing on a piece of paper. Books are visible on a shelf in the blurry background behind him. The visible text identifies the man as Elder Yunfeng (云峰长老), who lived from 1921 to 2003. The titles at the top read "慧日照大千" (Wisdom Sun Shines on the Great Thousand Worlds), "高峰入云擎南天" (High Peaks Enter the Clouds, Supporting the Southern Sky), and "回眸已百年" (Looking Back for a Hundred Years). The accompanying biography states that Elder Yunfeng was a renowned patriotic monk, born Zhu Fugui in Haikang County, Guangdong (now Leizhou City) on August 5, 1921. He is described as a significant figure in the development of Buddhism in New China, a great master who led the comprehensive restoration and flourishing of Buddhism in Guangdong and Guangzhou after the reform and opening up, and was deeply respected. His prominent roles included Vice Chairman of the Consultative Committee of the Buddhist Association of China, Chairman of the Guangdong Buddhist Association (1st-4th terms), and Chairman of the Guangzhou Buddhist Association (3rd-6th terms). He also served on political bodies such as the Guangzhou Political Consultative Conference and the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee. At the bottom right, a red banner contains the text "★ 六榕寺爱国主义教育基地" (Liu Rong Temple Patriotism Education Base), indicating the likely location or context of this display in Guangzhou, China.
