With great sincerity and sadness, he painted "Beautiful, Rich, and Magical Xishuangbanna". The painting unites his lover with his homeland, and he dedicated the painting to the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to express his reverence and love for Yujuan and that mysterious homeland.
In 1980, Ding Shaoguang finally got in touch with his parents and sister living in Taiwan and met with him. At this time, he was married and had two children, his wife's name was Zhang Daxi, and she was a stunning model given to him by God, young and beautiful, innocent and beautiful, with a very similar appearance and temperament to Yujuan. He has settled in the United States, bought a house, and brought his wife and two children from China to the United States. He is still the chair of the Department of Oriental Painting in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles, and can be said to have a stable job, a wealthy life, and a successful career. However, he never let go of Yujuan in his heart. People say that time is a good medicine that can dilute many things, but Ding Shaoguang's longing for this woman has not been alleviated, but like ivy, it has taken root in his heart and crawled all over the heart. Whenever he woke up in the middle of the night, he would go to the other side of the ocean and ask: Dear Yujuan, are you okay now?
He locked himself in his house every day, picked up his paintbrush, and kept thinking about painting. Draw the beautiful Xishuang version of that, and paint the beautiful girl in his heart. He uses painting to express his inner thoughts and relieve the depression in his heart. Yes, whenever he picked up the brush to start painting, Yujuan's shadow always flickered in front of him: her charming figure, pretty face, soft hair, and fragrant breath were all alive and vivid. This feeling seems to have become a beautiful poem in his heart, a beautiful emotion in his heart. So, his brush involuntarily drew her. Moreover, almost all of his works are painted by the same person, that is, the poetic soul in his heart.
Yujuan is featured in each of his paintings. Yujuan has penetrated deep into his soul and is rooted in his heart. Love makes him unable to extricate himself, and love gives him unprecedented inspiration. One after another heavy color paintings rich in national characteristics were born from his pen.
On this day, his wife suddenly rushed to his studio and saw that every painting he painted was that young and beautiful Dai girl, and the whole studio was full of such paintings. She was very angry, feeling that although her husband had been living with her all these years, he had been thinking about the country girl of the Dai nationality in his heart. This made her feel that her weight in her husband's heart was far inferior to that Dai girl. So, she asked her husband angrily, "It's been so many years that you can't let go of that country girl of the Dai tribe?"
Ding Shaoguang looked very embarrassed and embarrassed, and his heart was full of contradictions and guilt. He felt that he was sorry for his ex-wife in the countryside and the lover in front of him. Therefore, he could only be silent and let his wife vent her anger. However, no matter how much his wife vented her anger and dissatisfaction, and constantly quarreled with him, he still couldn't let go of the woman he loved. Not only could he not let go, but he was even more nostalgic. Because that was the most painful in the center of his life, the most beautiful in his heart and the favorite in his heart. There is no one who can replace her and surpass her. So, he can't forget, he can't give up. Because she is his passion and ideal for creation, and the soul and inspiration of his creation.
His wife quarreled with him again and again, and was angry again and again, but it backfired, and instead of correcting it, Ding Shaoguang painted more and more, and the more he painted, the better he became. He painted more than 300 pictures of Dai girls in one go, some bathing, some carrying water, some cooking, and some weaving. Each one is so lifelike and beautiful. Where do others know, that is the Yujuan in his heart!
Seeing that there was no way to change her husband, the wife had no choice but to change herself. She stopped arguing with her husband about this, and even slowly figured it out in the end, and said to him, "If you want to paint, you can paint, anyway, you will never have a chance to be together in this life." ”
His favorite colors for painting are sapphire blue and sun gold, blue is tranquil and profound, gold is passion and vitality. He prefers to paint on a silent rainy night, when a wave of creative passion gushes in his chest, and unique pictures are born from his brush. And that woman has become the eternal theme of his paintings.
His paintings are an organic combination of Chinese style and Western painting methods, and are a new method of expression. In his first two exhibitions in Southern California, including the Martin Luther King Jr. Exhibition, he won first place. His style of painting began to be accepted and appreciated. After that, his unique painting industry was out of control, and through nearly ten years of hard work, he stepped from the Chinese painting world to the world art palace. However, when his career was in full swing, an incomprehensible Chinese complex became tighter and tighter in his heart, and he often remembered the Dai girl Yujuan who gave him creative passion and inspiration. He has been out of contact with Yujuan for more than ten years, and the once sad love has long been brewed into a strong friendship by the years, and he often greets in his heart: Yujuan, are you okay?
One day, a friend called him and told him that a company in the United States was going to hold a large-scale art exhibition, displaying the excellent works of some famous painters, and asked Ding Shaoguang to take a few of his paintings and try them out. Later, Ding Shaoguang saw some information about the exhibition in the newspaper. Knowing that this is a very important exhibition, many famous artists from the American and European schools have exhibited their works. Their paintings can be said to be a popular and prevalent genre in today's art world, but they don't know if their paintings will be liked and noticed by people.
But he still chose three paintings that he was more satisfied with and sent them to the exhibition. On the day of the exhibition, the exhibition hall was crowded with people, and the gallery was filled with works by those highly famous painters. Ding Shaoguang's work, on the other hand, is placed in the most inconspicuous corner. Because compared to those famous masters and masters, he is still a penniless young man.
However, after the exhibition, an unexpected big news broke out. The three Chinese paintings exhibited by Ding Shaoguang were the first to sell and the highest prices. People are captivated by the alluring highland scenery and spiritual character sketches depicted in the paintings. Major media competed to report, and for a while, Ding Shaoguang became a popular news figure in the art world and became famous in one fell swoop.
