In Among my friends, Liu Feng is generous and easy-going, straightforward and indifferent. I have known him for more than 20 years. Our friendship is as pure and sweet as mountain springs; as mellow and long-lasting as fine wine.

Liu Feng’s works are bold and bold, free and pretty, ethereal and elegant, and full of interest. It fully reflects the exquisite skills of his paintings and his full love for life.

Liu Feng has a casual nature, is honest and forthright, and is good at making friends. He is kind-hearted, has no fight with the world, and likes to live an unrestrained life.

Several times a year he goes out to collect scenery and experience life, either to Xinjiang or famous mountains and rivers to take photos, or to stay for a few days in a mountain home in the deep mountains and old forests of the Qinling Mountains.

Every time we met, he would catch me and describe to me vividly and vividly the adventures, harvests and joys of collecting winds. How generous the people in Xinjiang are in hospitality; how kind and honest the people in the mountains are, etc.

Looking at his shining eyes and lively face behind his lenses, it was as if the beautiful scenery he saw with his eyes and heard with his ears were all imprinted in his mind.

My eyes lit up when I heard this, and I was so excited that I envied his independent, unrestrained, and aloof original lifestyle. I wished I could quit my job right away and follow him around for a while, only then could I feel the exhilaration of life.

Liu Feng values ????friendship and is negative on material things. That time he was invited to return from Xinjiang and happily gave me a Hetian jade.

That small peanut-shaped jade stone is crystal clear and as white as snow. Giving it to a friend contains the joy of "gorgeous life".

Put it in the palm of your hand, watch it carefully, and play with it carefully. It is small, delicate and very cute. I am filled with joy! I also cherish this simple and pure friendship very much.

Liu Feng is restrained and low-key, and does not show off. People who know Liu Feng think he is a bit weird. In real life, based on his appearance and clothing, who can tell that he is still a painter? He wears very ordinary clothes. Not glamorous, not imposing, just like ordinary people.

Sometimes I see him, wearing a casual light gray jacket, with a military green canvas bag slung over his left shoulder. It is late autumn, still holding on to a pair of black sandals, and eating half of a peeled green bamboo shoot in his right hand. , walking towards you with a smile...

Therefore, others like to joke with him. He has also gained a good reputation in life and among the people around him. Everyone always likes to have a laugh with him no matter what. , talk and laugh.

As long as Liu Feng is present, the place will be lively and full of laughter and laughter...

In recent years, he has been fond of playing with jade. Whenever he has free time, he goes to Baxian Temple or Xijing In the antique market, you can admire and hunt for jade. If you come across something you particularly like, you will spend a lot of money to buy it. When he saw me, he happily took them out from the military green canvas bag he carried with him and shared them one by one with me. We put our heads together, chatting, laughing, pointing, and criticizing, which was a great pleasure.

He carries the army green canvas bag on his shoulder all year round. It is so old and shabby that even thieves are reluctant to take a second look at it.

The bag contains various jade, jade, agate, cameras and other items. Occasionally when we meet, he will carefully take it out, display it like a treasure, and explain the origin and origin of each treasure like a treasure.

In fact, things in the world are strange. Things that my friends thought were impossible happened.

Finally one day, Liu Feng’s signature bag, which never left his body, was said to have been taken away by a thief at the mahjong ground.

My friend smiled and joked: "You usually don't want to give us so many jade and treasures, but now they are stolen by thieves, so you can feel at ease."

He had no choice but to give them to us. He felt distressed and helpless and said: "If you save money to avoid disasters, if you save money to avoid disasters, all the money should be donated to the disaster areas."

When I saw him one day, he changed his bag again and took out a 10-megapixel I bought a new camera and said, "The old one won't go away, and the new one won't come. Nothing can be missing, not the camera. I will still use it to collect materials and continue to shoot the things I like!"

said Then he showed many newly-taken creative pictures and pointed them out to me proudly.

This is the case in life, and Liu Feng on the mahjong court is even more weird.

His usual hobby is to play mahjong, but his playing style is definitely different. Others tend to play cards towards "harmony", but he is just the opposite. He plays reverse thinking and insists on playing mahjong. He split the cards and played them into the "bad" ones, and he took pleasure in playing cards that did not "tie". Almost every time I play cards, I lose money every time. Therefore, friends all like to play cards with him.

Others were puzzled and gave him a nickname, "Liu Banxian". He didn't mind and accepted it happily.

I said; "I understand you, your way of playing is called an artist's style. You don't care about the cards, but the humanities and sophistication of the card game! How can you be the same as ordinary people?"

He was overjoyed and regarded me as a confidant. Whenever he has free time, he always likes to chat with me. Or ancient poetry, literature, painting creation, calligraphy, etc.

In fact, anyone who really knows him knows that he plays cards not to win money, but as a way of leisure and entertainment after painting and creating. Firstly, it is to relax the mind and recuperate the brain; secondly, through the card game, you can understand all kinds of life, folk customs, come into contact with all kinds of people and things, and constantly accumulate and enrich your creative materials.

He turns everything he sees, hears, thinks, imagines, and understands every day into a grass, a tree, a bird, a stone, a frown, and a smile.

It is no wonder that his paintings of landscapes, insects, fish, flowers, plants, and figures are full of fresh and lively charm of life and interesting Zen; they are filled with a graceful atmosphere that is fresh, timeless, and profound; condensed Due to his perseverance and self-improvement, the vigorous vitality and impressive momentum are deeply rooted in the land of Sanqin.
