Cheng Chieh-ho, who rose to prominence in the art world with his carved stone tea plates, received no formal education in the art. However, thanks to his innate artistic talent and love for stone carving, he has won many awards in major domestic competitions with works characterized by simplicity. He considers stones to be a living thing, so he works on each piece independently and insists on not putting wax or lacquer on his works. Specializing in tea sets, he creates practical and aesthetically pleasing works, realizing his ideas of bringing art into everyday life.
In junior high, Li Kuei-hsien became interested in literature and began reading a variety of Chinese popular literature, translated novels, newspaper supplements, journals, and magazines. In April 1953, under the pen name Hengxin, Li published his first poem, "Cherry Blossoms," in the magazine Wild Wind. The poem depicted cherry trees that endured the ravages of winter, fighting back against the harsh weather despite their fading leaves and the hardships they suffered, holding out for the return of spring.
