Fan Hung-chia is now 90 years old. He has never maintained close association with the art world, having spent his career at Japanese and Hong Kong commercial enterprises after the war. He never sought profit or fame from his painting, which was purely a means of inner solace. He is unmoved by the enormous sums his paintings would command today.
今年九十歲的范洪甲由於素來與美術圈不甚熟稔，戰後又多在日、港經商，不求名利，作畫純粹為了安慰自己，未曾賣畫，即使在老畫家身價非凡，一畫千萬的今天也不為所動。
