1 1983 Cao Wenhan schnitzt ein Portrait von William Shakespeare, das auf der Titelseite einiger Zeitschriften in China und Japan erscheint.
Er schreibt darüber : "As a Chinese painter I have admired Shakespeare for a long time. Shakespeare provides precious nourishment for my mind. I have obtained great inspiration and artistic pleasure from his works. It is not important whether the portrait is successful or not. What really matters is that it demonstrates the active participation of Chinese painters in the Shakespeare industry of China although the participation is not as noticeable as that of literary critics. It also shows clearly how widespread and popular Shakespeare’s influence upon Chinese culture is."
