The recipient of this calligraphy was Li Zhifu (1912-?). Li studied under Dong Zuobin (1895-1963), and worked in Cheng Chung Book Co., Ltd., one of the book publishers backed by Kuomintang during the Republic era. As a lover of literature and the arts, Li was well acquainted with many artists in Taiwan, including Yu Youren and Huang Junbi, from whom he received paintings.
