Two months ago a Canadian artist, J. Fenwick Lansdowne, held an exhibition in Taiwan on the theme of Chinese rare birds. His lively and fine depictions of Chinese birds and their habitats has led many people, including some ecologists, to exclaim: "The Chinese have not been good at giving realistic renderings of birds and their habitats, which is something they should strive hard to do in the future."
兩個月前加拿大畫家蘭士登在國內舉行「中國珍禽」畫展，對他描繪中國鳥類與其生態細膩、生動的手法，包括生態學者在內的許多人都認為：「中國人從未好好畫過真實的鳥類生態，這是以後可努力的一個領域。」
