Meichi _ Meichi, Meihua's beautiful words

The painter Ren Xuezhong liked Mei when he was young. As he grew older, he became stronger and stronger. As soon as he heard that Mei Lai was crazy, he painted Mei Mi crazily. People called him Mei Chi, so he accepted it and printed it on the frame as a nickname. I have studied loyalty for more than six years. Although we don't have close contacts, there is a very strong line linking us. Because I am busy and have little leisure, I have never made a quiet reflection on this line. Shanghai University Press wanted to publish another album of paintings for Zhong Jun, and asked me to say a few words, so I sat in front of the book case and looked through Junzhi's masterpieces. I think that Mei's dignity and high quality have long been hidden in each other's hearts and souls, and it is Mei's simplicity and tenacity that live in our aesthetics, permeate our lives and shine in our pursuit that we can have the same feelings and friendship as Mei. I can't forget that when I first met you, the food in the hot pot was boiling, and it was also the words that we talked about art and met each other for a long time. At that time, when you just resigned from the podium, you were steady, diligent, simple and enthusiastic, just like the plum blossom in your painting. The wind and frost forged the bones, the rain and snow soaked the soul, and the red and green plum blossoms seemed to fly out of the painting, so your smile became relaxed after the wind, frost, rain and snow?

For many years, people in China have been debating whether to choose peony or plum blossom as the national flower. Peony is elegant, beautiful and charming, plum blossom is proud of snow, beautiful and elegant. For a nation that has experienced external troubles and internal troubles in modern times, which can better cultivate China people's sentiment and lead the nation to be positive? The answer is self-evident. This reminds people of * * * and China's national anthem. Although a funny farce was staged in * *, in the end, March of the Volunteers gave people the most encouragement, beating people's nerves like a drum and leading the nation forward like a torch. Today, China is a rising power in the world. Why use War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression march of the volunteers as the national anthem? There is no need to say anything. What about the irreversibility of the national anthem? Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood? Shouldn't sadness and high be the value orientation of our choice of national flower? Xue, you have loved Mei Pin Mei Mei for decades, which reminds me of the connotation and extension of the national anthem and the companionship and similarity between you and Mei Hua. The ancients? May's wife and crane? Stories are not jokes, like this? Jokes? The more people there are, the more it shows that there are many kind people in China. Today? Meichi? Not a fool, like this? Fool? The more so, the more it shows that the value of the times is not selfish, but the richness of civilization?

Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. This is an objective existence that has never changed since ancient times. Although I am seven years younger than you, our life experiences are roughly the same. The hunger of teenagers, the rush of young people and the hardships of their prime are all our life experiences. If we think of this flower, it must be plum blossom, not peony. Dreams are gone, and ideals are hard to pick up. Since childhood, my mind has accepted so many twists and turns and emptiness that my heart is less sweet and more sour? Why not? Our life is far from the elegant peony, but we are as close as brothers and sisters to the proud plum blossom. It's not that I don't love peonies, but that poor places can't grow beautiful peonies; I don't like plum blossoms, but the iron skeleton of plum blossoms will inevitably become the embodiment of our lives. This reminds me of an ancient saying: oranges were born in Huainan and oranges were born in Huaibei. Their leaves are similar to those of their disciples, but they have different tastes. ? Huainan is orange, Huaibei is orange. The same bacteria develop into different products, and the environment plays a decisive role. Being poor and arrogant makes you beautiful, but being bitter and unyielding makes me beautiful. This seemingly lofty and boastful word is actually the true nature of our life and our self-choice? Plums are their true colors, and they don't like to write plums. Why?

In this way, our bodies are close, and in this way, our hearts are crossed. That summer, you invited me to Harbin, the ice city, to participate in Color held by Heilongjiang Provincial Art Museum. Ink? Ge? Rhyme? At the opening ceremony of the exhibition of seven Chinese paintings, my heart with a derrick and an oil well was suddenly moistened by the river. Your plums and those landscapes, flowers, birds and rocks, hand in hand in the exhibition hall of the art museum, are even more elegant and beautiful, adding a little light and charm to the summer of the famous ice city, so that the audience who stop to paint can have a feeling of cooling off the heat. On that day, we took a group photo in front of your painting, and the plum blossom painting in the background became the eternal freeze of our favorite trip to Meiyun and Meipin. I especially like that long scroll of yours? When the flowers bloom with snow and frost, the old piles are in the air, the branches are inclined, and Bai Mei is like snow. The lush background makes me feel nirvana? When I looked at this painting, my thoughts drifted far away, and then I returned to this old tree and new flower from the end of the vast sky. Feel emotional and baptized? Quiet plum paintings have such appeal. Isn't this the rhythm of the painter's life and the thunder in his works?

Listen to the thunder and watch the plum blossom painting, which means towering mountains and roaring seas, just like the gentle and mighty wind of a gentleman. Painting is character. In today's society, superficial, impetuous, painful and dirty people are not uncommon. If you are lucky enough to take your plum blossom painting as a mirror, you will definitely show some ugliness in its fine clothes and big characters. If you treat Mei as a teacher, maybe you can cultivate yourself! I think, no matter what art you prefer, self-appreciation is just a taste, and it is best to be a mirror to the world, but it requires sentiment and high art. Maybe learning from Zhong Jun to paint plums is not for teaching, but like the natural flash of gold, there is no need to do it deliberately with color? People who look at you are like plums in your pen; Looking at the plum in your painting is more like looking at you in life.

In May, the Wenchuan earthquake in central Sichuan shocked China. You said you really wanted to volunteer in Wenchuan. I said, when I get old, I'd better give full play to my specialty, painting Mei Yan Zhi. In this way, your Song Mei Tu was published in the special issue of the newspaper together with the poems and essays of oilfield writers. You pay attention to the natural disasters in Wenchuan with the strength of Song and the awe-inspiring of Mei, and with the eyes of an oil painter.

In August this year, the 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing as scheduled. Look at the "Beautiful Olympics" at the opening ceremony. What a wonderful dream? Five rings? , the novel? Bird's Nest Your artist's heart is instantly cracked by the snow waves, and the rushing passion makes you splash the "Three Friends of the Spring Festival" again: red plum blossoms, pine needles spread blue, and bamboo stands upright? Just before You Mei got together to paint, the thick tea fragrance blended with Mei Yun, pine wind and bamboo soul, and slowly and strongly penetrated into his arms, becoming a boundless picture of majestic mountains and rivers. Looking at pictures and thinking about people makes people involuntarily appreciate paintings: the most beautiful and largest paintings are born in the heart and are longer than the soul. "Three Friends of the Spring Festival" brought our souls and the grand book exhibition of the opening ceremony of the second Olympic Games. Although it is a drop of water, it is a trickle, but it is integrated with people and a trickle of human beings?

During the season in Qiu Lai, you gave me a large plum blossom painting "Fish Out of the Mountain in Spring". In front of us, the red plums are like the sky, the rivers are flowing among the rocks that are gradually drifting away, and the fish are out of the mountains, full of vitality and fascinated by paper. I was infected by your thoughts, and I became interested in life. I gave a vacancy in the "soothsayer" and filled it on the banks of rocks and plums. The ice and snow are moist and fragrant, the mountains and bones are solemn, and the cold comes and the summer goes, and the heart is full of fragrance. I met fish and children in my dream and sang and danced all over the world, no matter how high or low. ?

Yes, life is halfway through, and what remains in the world for the rest of my life may be just a fragrant heart? Pingping? Is it light? Is it miserable? ? Heaven and earth are born with me, and everything is one with me? Look up to Laozi and Zhuangzi and have wisdom, look at nature and know that you are not poor. If you have no ambition, you have nothing to ask for.

I hung this big picture on the wall of my office and looked at the plum, the mountain, the water and the fish?

Xue, I want to tell you something about Mei.
