This was the first time that the Kinmen authorities had ever held an exhibit and seminar focusing on the works of a living artist. The deeply moved Lee Shi-chi said, "I had many unhappy experiences growing up on Kinmen, but it is precisely because I am from Kinmen that I've been able to receive so much support and encouragement."
這是金門第一次為還在世的藝術家舉辦畫展和學術研討會，李錫奇激動地說：「早年在金門的成長歲月，曾經帶給我許多不幸與悲痛，然而，也因為我是金門人，才能獲得這麼多的關懷和鼓勵。」
