Further details
Liu Piji (1904-1976), styled Shoushi, was born in Jingjiang County, Jiangsu Province. He and his brother, Liu Jingji (1902-1997), were both well- known modern textile industrialists. In 1930, Liu Guojun founded the Da Cheng Textile Company, with Liu Piji serving as an inspector. In 1936, he became the director of the fourth factory of Da Cheng in Hankou. In 1948, he was elected as a member of the first Legislative committee. In May 1952, he returned from Shanghai to Hong Kong for business and engaged in real estate development in Kwun Tong. Besides his business ventures, influenced by his brother Liu Jingji, Liu Piji had a passion for art collecting. He had close relationships with famous painters and calligraphers from Shanghai and Suzhou areas, including Xie Zhiliu, Pan Boying, Zhang Shizhao, among others, and received a substantial number of art pieces as gifts. Paintings and calligraphy dedicated to Liu couple by Zhang Shizhao and Ma Wanli, will be offered in Chinese Paintings online sale in December 2024.
