Wang Shishen (1686-1759) was a native of Anhui who was born poor. Later he made a good living as a painter and one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. Despite that he still tended to be poor, but relatively happy, and devoted to painting research. He would become noted as one of the greatest Chinese painters of plum blossoms.
