Long Chinese hand scroll - Translation please

Thank you for taking the time to make the translation.

So, a brief search only turned up one possible source, but I think it makes sense.

There is (was) an artist names Xia Zhen Lie who, according to the article I found, was a master of brushless calligraphy, a form of finger painting landscape scenes.

https://artjour.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/field-report-endangered-art-part-1-brushless-calligraphy/

The article stated, "It was in this era of experimentation and development that Brushless Calligraphy started to gain interest among artists. A number of pioneers, including Xiao Zhen Lie and Pan Tian Shou began experimenting with historical techniques in the 80s."

This seems to correlate with the date of my painting (1983) and the photo they showed of Xiao Zen Lie's painting has some similarities I think.

I've never even heard of brushless calligraphy. What do you think?

Tim
