The Yide Art Gallery's official Weibo account also released a video to debunk the rumors.
Not only were the letters once shared between the old gentleman and Madam Chen presented in a beautiful artistic form, but also photographs of the two from their younger years were made public.
In the end, it was the old gentleman's video.
"I am Zhong Yide, also the 'rich patron' in the scandal involving Yunlian Studio these past few days. When I first heard this claim, I found it particularly absurd. I don't understand why so many people would engage in online violence against a sixty-year-old without knowing the truth behind the story. What kind of pleasure can this bring you?"
