The oil painting “Beijing 2008” (also known as “Mahjong Playing Women”)

created by Canadian-Chinese artist Lui Liu became world famous after it was hotly debated over its interpretations. It has attracted more online hits than any other paintings, save Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”and Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”. At the beginning of this year, Liu took these iconic paintings and 30 other art works to Shanghai, starting yet another wave of “mahjong fever”.
