Mike and Lu also met with the client to discuss our new mixed use project in Kaifeng. The development will become the home to the internationally acclaimed animated reproduction of the famous painting known as “River of Wisdom” (清明上河圖.) First seen at the the 2010 Shanghai world expo, this Kaifeng project will become its permanent home. The painter, Zhang Ze-Duan (張擇端) lived between 1085 -1145. This painting depicts the life of the people of Kaifeng, where a large Jewish community lived and prospered during the Sung dynasty. Kaifeng (開封), Henan Province
