Mr Lim Tze Peng is a living embodiment of the saying 活到老，学到老 – you’re never too old to learn, or in his case, too old to accomplish something!
A giant on the art scene, Mr Lim remains active well into old age. He received the Cultural Medallion at age 82 and the Meritorious Service Medal at 95.
Now aged 100, he was the guest-of-honour at his own book launch — “Soul of Ink: Lim Tze Peng at 100”, by Woon Tai Ho. The book describes Mr Lim’s achievements and contributions to Chinese calligraphy, offering insights into his life and his philosophy towards art. He is certainly an inspiration to all of us to continue to push our limits, no matter how old we are!
Congratulations to Mr Lim and Mr Woon on the launch of the book!

今天我出席了我国书画家林子平先生英文传记的发表会。林先生从教育界退休之后，完全投入在画画和书法上，塑造了他独特的风格。到了百岁还继续寻求创新，突破自己。林先生体现了活到老，学到老了的精神，他的坚持令人钦佩。- 李显龙
