Special recommendation: Hanako, a persistent and accomplished painter.

Huazi, whose stage name is Xu Jianhua, is a senior painter of Jiangnan Painting Academy, president of brand branch of Wuxi Brand Society, senior teacher of China Calligraphy Association, and president of Wuxi Ji Hua Painting and Calligraphy Institute.

We met in the early 1990s. At that time, I set up a factory in the village, running supply and marketing. One day, I followed the van to Boswell, Wuxi for delivery. Because the parts have quality problems, I went to the quality inspection department to find them. The head of the quality inspection department is Hanako. Who knows that as soon as he saw me, he looked unhappy and immediately picked up the phone and called my boss. He said, "What's the matter with you? The parts are out of order again, and the deliverymen are all new faces. " Put the phone down, he said to me, you drag the goods back.

This is my first delivery to Wuxi Boswell. If I return it, my boss will definitely look unhappy. Suddenly I remembered that there was a book "Qingqing Neem Fruit" in my carry-on bag, so I handed it to him and said, "This is my book."

Hanako took the book, looked at me stupefied and said, "Did you write this book?"

He expressed doubt.

I said, "You have my picture in your book."

He picked up the book and read it carefully. Then he looked me in the face and said, "Ah, you are a writer. How can your boss let a writer deliver the goods? This is overqualified. " Then he called my boss again: "You asked the screenwriter to deliver the goods. This is overqualified. For the writer, I will accept this car today. "

Later I learned that Hanako was a painter. He is very arrogant in the company, and the young people in the quality inspection department know my relationship with him, so they all gave me the green light all the way.

Later, he retired.

Later, I went into the sea myself.

But we still keep in touch.

Three years ago, my son got married. I didn't send him an invitation. I don't know where he got it. He and his wife came to the wedding with red envelopes, which moved me to tears.

Hanako is such a sincere person. Report:

Therefore, Hanako is a persistent and tireless painter.

The day before yesterday, I visited him in the studio of Yin Xiu Road, Wuxi, and found him tutoring three children to write and draw.

He told me that he was taking care of the students. There is a batch in the morning and another batch in the afternoon.

I said, "You can do it. Even after retirement, artists can help children draw and make money. "

Hanako said: "I collect some tuition fees symbolically, mainly to cultivate some children to love painting."

I said, "Is this studio rented?"

Hanako said, "I bought it ten years ago. If I don't have a studio, I have to pay more rent. Don't rent now, the charge can be lower. "

Hanako was very happy to see me visit. He introduced me to the children's mothers, saying that I was a writer, with many books, an entrepreneur and a celebrity. I correct him from time to time. I am just an ordinary author, not a celebrity, but I may be a little famous in Suzhou.

That day, he showed me many pictures. He said: "My life savings are all here, all paintings and characters." Yes, I saw pictures inside and outside the studio wall, and there were many famous works. He took out a copy of King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra and asked me, "Guess how much this word costs?"

I said, I don't know.

Hanako said, "At least 300,000."

I know that "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" is one of the important Mahayana Buddhist classics and is often praised by Buddhist monks who become monks at home.

Hanako said, "This scroll is very long. I think the painter wrote it in the middle of the night. Make sure it's verbatim. If you make a mistake, the whole scroll will be scrapped. "

He gave me a porcelain teacup and a porcelain basin with his pictures on it. He talked about porcelain. He said that many people like these handicrafts, and they are easy to preserve and pass down from generation to generation. Works of art like this are more precious with the passage of time. For example, like some old painters, their works didn't cost a few dollars at that time, but now hundreds of thousands and millions don't need one. This is "celebrity calligraphy and painting".

He said that he can't be a "celebrity painter", but he wants to be a person who tries to promote painting culture. Therefore, he set up a painting and calligraphy institute, which brought together a group of middle-aged and old painters under his door to ensure that his works would come out continuously.

In the past two years, Hanako, together with Jiangsu Rongben Culture Communication Co., Ltd., has also integrated traditional art with Buddhist culture and created a large number of fine paintings.

The afternoon before yesterday, Hanako took me to Guangfu Temple in Yuantouzhu, Wuxi. There I met Mr. and Mrs. Lu of Rongben Company and several old painters. Originally, some works of Hanako and his team of artists were collected and exhibited by Guangfu Temple.

Hanako told me that this is the center of future creation and activities, and this is a blessed land. With this treasure, I will carry forward the painting art.

I took a group photo with Hanako and Manager Lu at Guangfu Temple as a souvenir. The background of the photo "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" was written by the old gentleman on my right (from left to right, Mrs. Lu, the charity boss Mr. Lu, and Hanako on my left).

Writing this article, I have been moved by Hanako's spirit. He is almost seventy, and he still loves art so much, works so hard and refuses to accept his old age. This spirit is called forgetting to eat and sleep. I think his handwriting is getting better and better now. I found that he was the first person to copy Wang Xizhi in Wuxi. Thank him for sending me a copy of Wang Xizhi's handwriting, which is said to be worth 3000 yuan. Ha, Wuxi made a profit this time!
