Dieses Kunstwerk von Zhang Boju erzielte im November 2016 bei Christies in Hong Kong einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Fine Chinese Modern Paintings wurde die Arbeit Orchid/Calligraphic Couplet für HKD 250.000,00 (€ 30.464,17) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von HKD 90.000,00.
