"Our house was surrounded by paddy fields, which attracted hordes of sparrows in our courtyard. Therefore I not only had the pleasure of their company all the time, but I was able to watch their shape and form, their habits, their every movement, their individual and communal life.”-Chen Wen-Hsi in cooperation with E.L. Pan, Life As An Artist
