One of the buyers claimed privately: "We are being cheated--he doesn't deserve this price. The painting from the 'plunderer of flowers' [overseas Chinese painter Walasse Ting, who is famed as an excellent portrayer of flowers] is going for around NT $ 400,000, and it's better than Zhou's!"
有買家私下表示，「上當了，他沒有這個價錢；採花大盜（以畫花聞名的華裔畫家丁雄泉）有一幅叫價 40 萬元的作品，更好。」
