"It wasn't that my mother didn't sell our family's paintings. She sold them: Chi Pai-shih's, Hsu Pei-hung's, Chang Ta-chien's paintings were all sold. But she didn't sell a single one of my father's paintings." These are the words of Liu Yi, Liu Chin-tang's third son, who now serves as the assistant director of mainland China's National Calligraphers Association.
「我母親不是沒賣畫，她賣了，她把家中所藏齊白石、徐悲鴻、張大千的畫賣光了，只有我父親的畫一幅沒賣」，目前擔任大陸全國書法家協會副主席的三子劉藝表示。
