For years Professor Chen took him under his personal care and taught him literature and calligraphy. Professor Chen thought highly of Qi Gong and helped him to find jobs of teaching at several institutions.
　　Years of hard work made Qi Gong an excellent teacher and outstanding calligrapher and painter. In memory of his teacher Professor Chen Yuan， Qi Gong decided in 1991 to set up a foundation to give awards. He worked hard day after day at his desk and produced more than 100 works of calligraphy，which he sold for 1，630，000 yuan. All his money went into the foundation which was named after his teacher. He did not leave a penny for himself.
