Hui Chi Mau comes from a long line of ‘gentleman-scholars,’ who since the days of the Sung Dynasty have traditionally been associated with calligraphy, poetry and painting. As a young man, he studied classic Chinese brush painting at the National Art Academy, Hangchow, China. He was a protege of Chi Pai-shih.
