Yue Guofeng’s social evaluation

It was more than 30 years ago that I met Brother Guofeng. In the early 1970s, we were both in Unit 6141 of the Jinan Military Region, guarding the Yellow River Delta. Since Brother Guofeng has loved writing and painting since he was a child and has practiced the "boy skills" of calligraphy and painting, the army leaders arranged for him to work in the Political Department. Since I did not have such qualities, I was arranged to work in the headquarters. We are We eat from the same pot and drink from the same spring. Due to the different nature of our respective jobs, we all envied his work. At that time, the power of the only 18-inch TV set in our army was in the hands of In the hands of Brother Guofeng, in the early 1970s, it was a great thing to watch TV every day. After dinner every day, we sat neatly in front of the political department with small benches on time, waiting for brother Guofeng to move the TV out. It was his business to turn on and off the TV and adjust the channel. At that time, we all thought that we could turn on and off the TV and adjust the channel. It's a very mysterious thing, and Brother Guofeng doesn't have any special sense of citizen pride, but just does his own thing quietly and seriously. Every weekend, he also holds an open-air "revolution" for us in the main square. Movies, brother Guofeng's work in the army, what is more worthy of our praise is his masterpiece. At a young age in his twenties, he was able to publish a set of comic strips "Hero Cavalry". At that time, I saw Brother Guofeng's painting album, and I deeply felt that the painting was like the person he was. The thousands of galloping horses in the album were particularly exquisite and indescribable. At that time, he was really a famous cultural figure in the national peak of our army.

In the early 1980s, due to the reorganization of the army, we were both reassigned to work in the Yantai Military Division. He had just returned to Yantai. He was an instructor in the company and was very busy at work. We rarely had time to get together. I remember that Brother Guofeng lived in a small three-room building where the Veteran Cadre Activity Center in Nanshan Park is now. Once I went After seeing him, the small wing was very crowded, with books and sundries piled everywhere, and the walls covered with his paintings and calligraphy. It was immediately obvious that Brother Guofeng was well-intentioned in the pursuit of art, and his "making out of trouble" style "Quiet", his familiar and indifferent demeanor could not interfere with his reading, writing and painting under any circumstances. When a comrade like me went to visit him, it was just an old acquaintance meeting, and it was difficult to correspond to how many Tang poems and Song lyrics he had.

In the mid-1980s, we both transferred from the army to work in local areas. Coincidentally, among so many of our comrades, we were the only ones assigned to work in the propaganda and culture department. He works in the Yantai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and I work in the Yantai Municipal Cultural Bureau. Propaganda and cultural work is his old job for Brother Guofeng, but for me, I encountered a "new problem". From then on, I had to learn from him humbly, often visit him for advice, and help him when I encountered difficulties. He reports. I remember that in 1988, the Cultural Affairs Bureau wanted to write a part of the health rotating duty sign. At this time, I immediately thought of the great calligrapher Brother Guo Feng. After I prepared the sign, I called him and asked him to come over and write it. He immediately took the pen. I came to the Cultural Affairs Bureau with red paint and had it written quickly. After finishing writing, I prepared a few slogans about hygiene and asked him to go to the bathroom and write them directly. He did it without hesitation. After finishing writing, he suddenly reacted and said, "Brother Sun, a calligrapher. Isn’t it appropriate to write an inscription in the bathroom?” I said, “Well, let’s do something that no one before us has done!” We both laughed.

I have a hobby and am good at collecting some popular science knowledge, especially small tofu cubes about health and disease treatment. After dinner, I often take them and look at them to increase my knowledge. , due to the long time span of collection and the rich information, I did not expect that this aspect became my small advantage. Once, I invited Brother Guofeng to my home and reported my thoughts to him. I said: "Can you see if the information I collected can be used to publish a book?" After reading it, he was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that I had spent so much effort. He said: "These information are very precious. It will definitely not be possible to compile a book." question.

"With his support, I became bolder, and soon a book "Contemporary Self-diagnosis and Treatment" published by Shandong Science and Technology Press was widely circulated and applauded in the society. I immediately became a popular science writer recognized by the society. After publishing the book, a large number of reports from Shandong Provincial TV Station, Yantai TV Station, Yantai Daily and other news media continued to improve my reputation. Therefore, Brother Guofeng wrote "The Taste of Shennong" for me. "Baicao encounters seventy poisons in one day, and Fu Xian has learned from many sources in the past ten years." In fact, without brother Guofeng to encourage me, how could I have had the extravagant hope of publishing a book?

In August of the previous year, my child completed the procedures to study in Canada. Before leaving, I wanted to ask Brother Guofeng, a great calligrapher, to send a few words to my child. After I explained the situation, Brother Guofeng immediately picked up his pen and wrote for me. The child wrote the eight characters "Destroy the cauldron and fight with a last resort", which encouraged the child to stay away from the motherland and work hard. I was going to draw a "Health Preservation Picture". The content was basically ready, but I couldn't decide on the drawing of the picture. , then I remembered Brother Guofeng again. After I provided him with the information, he drew the picture in a short time. Now, this "Health Preservation Picture" is named "Baoguang" "Health Preservation Picture" and obtained a national patent license. This is the first time in our country that health preservation is shown in one picture. Therefore, relevant parties predict that this picture has great market potential. The creation of this picture was successful. Brother Guofeng In short, Brother Guofeng has been immersed in art and reclusive in life for decades. Since our country has comprehensively promoted the socialist market economy, how many cultural people can't help it. Lonely and poor, some go to work to find a part-time official position, and some go to the sea to find a millionaire, so as not to have to experience the hardship of climbing the grid again. The persistence and pursuit of culture are obvious. Today, as the 31st grandson of Yue Fei, brother Guofeng, his calligraphy works are "beautiful and neat in small seal script, graceful in official script, dignified and elegant in regular script, and lively in running script. The strange changes in cursive script, coupled with the artistic conception given by the brushwork and layout, each of his calligraphy works have become artistic treasures with unique characteristics and self-contained taste. Brother Guofeng's calligraphy and painting works, because he became famous earlier, have a rich heritage. Even more profound, as the chairman of the Yantai Artists Association, one can imagine the charm of his personality and personality.

In short, during the decades of association with Brother Guofeng, there are so many things worth nostalgic and recalling. Whenever I think of this past event, it seems that time has been pulled back to several decades ago. , I really lament the passage of time, the shocking changes, the heart is moved, and the past is like smoke.
