Kong Weike, director of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang (RCCK) Painting Academy, introduced the "Fragrance Remains" exhibition as one of the academy's three major exhibition brands and its most influential academic brand, held biennially at the National Art Museum of China. The fourth exhibition, after touring several cities, concluded its run in Shandong, coinciding with the establishment of the Shandong Exhibition Center. "These works are of exquisite quality, representing a high level of art creation nationwide. They are rich and diverse in subject matter, collectively promoting the main theme of the times and demonstrating the responsibility of the art community to contribute to the great cause of national rejuvenation through art." Regarding the significance of establishing the RCCK Central Committee Painting Academy Shandong Exhibition Center, Kong Weike pointed out that the center is an important platform for the prosperity and development of the art world. It aims to promote connections within and outside the Party, as well as exchanges between RCCK member painters and other painters, to jointly study creative principles, and to promote outstanding works and talents that are profound in thought, exquisite in art, and highly aesthetically pleasing. "Good works must meet the standard of 'expert approval and public applause,' possessing both outstanding ideological content and exquisite artistry, widely loved by the public, truly achieving widespread recognition, dissemination, and lasting impact."
