In the huge villa, the young boy is sitting quietly on the sofa, looking at a photo album in his hand, there is no photo, almost the same man, this man is tall and handsome, his eyes are deep and misty, and it is unpredictable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was a familiar face, it felt extremely unfamiliar to him.

Since his mother died when he was five years old, he has only been accompanied by a nanny at home, and this nominal father rarely comes home, but he often sends him some photos, as if to tell him, don't forget, you also have a father.

In fact, every time he looks at the photos, he does not pay attention to the people, but the scenery behind the characters.

My father often traveled abroad on business because of his company's business, so he traveled to many cities, and the buildings in each city were different.

He browsed a lot of urban buildings, but his favorite was Chicago's, to be exact, the buildings designed by an architect named Wright, looking at the simple and natural buildings, which blended well with the surroundings and looked very comfortable.

After searching for information on the Internet, he found that those buildings were called "Wright-style prairie architecture", which was meant to respect the natural environment and create a comfortable and secure living atmosphere.

In my city, with the development of the economy and the increase in population, I have to build high-rise residential buildings, which look the same and have no new ideas.

The boy took out a blank piece of paper, thought about it, and drew it with a pencil.

In a few moments, a row of small houses appeared on the paper, and although they were sketches, the roofs, windows, columns, and walls were all so vivid that one could not imagine that the painting was made by a seven-year-old boy.

But Luo Zixia frowned when she saw it, crumpled the paper, and threw it into the trash without hesitation.

Then, he took out a blank piece of paper and drew it rustling.

The villa was silent, only the sound of pencils.

"Jingle Bell ......" the phone rang, and the boy got up in displeasure and picked up the microphone.

A gentle voice came from the other end, "Young Master, it's time for dinner, you can come down and do your activities." ”

This is the nanny Zheng's sister-in-law, she is the old maid of the Luo family for ten years, watching Luo Zixia be born and grown, watching him change from a laughing child to a taciturn boy.

Now, she only hopes that the young master will not always be bored in the room alone, and go out and walk around more.

"I don't want to eat." After Luo Zixia said coldly, he hung up the phone, and then drew it on the paper.

Five years later, after graduating from primary school, Luo Zixia chose to go to the United States instead of going to the city's junior high school like most children of the same age.

When he first learned of his son's thoughts, his father was also shocked, and he didn't even know what his son's personality was because he hadn't seen each other for many years. Later, I learned from Zheng's sister-in-law that her son liked painting and architecture.

He was amazed to see many paintings in his son's room, and if they hadn't been found in his son's room, he thought they were the work of some master.

One of the architectural features of these paintings is that they are all one- or two-story buildings, and there are no high-rise buildings, but they look very beautiful and comfortable at first glance.

I didn't expect my son's painting to have reached this realm, maybe if he trained it well, he could become a master of painting.

With this mentality, Luo Jingtian applied for an American school for his son, and specially invited a local translator and Zheng's sister-in-law to accompany him.

Abroad, Luo Zixia was lonely at first because of the language barrier, but over time, he found that because of his talent for painting, he was welcomed by teachers and classmates, and he became positive and optimistic.

The teacher in the class will not get angry with his naughty and endless questions, and will even praise himself for his big brain. Once, he represented the school in the composition competition of young architects from all over the continent, and although he only won a third prize, he was greatly praised when he returned, and the teacher talked to him once and analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of his paintings.

The teacher said that his paintings can indeed give people a feeling of brightness, that kind of natural and casual architectural style, is the ideal home in the minds of many people, but also think that it is too idealistic, and there are certain difficulties in the implementation of the plan. If you want to become a true architect, you have to start from the needs of society and the surrounding environment.

However, the teacher's encouragement did not make him give up the steppe-style architecture in his mind, and he always believed that it was the dominant building for the future of mankind.

Many years passed, and when Luo Zixia had not yet graduated, many American companies approached him to sign contracts, but he refused because he only wanted to design the buildings he liked, and he was unwilling to force himself to cater to the market.

Even so, there are still many rich people and companies looking for him to design, and in just two years, he has his own studio. His prairie style architecture is popular among American families because of its simplicity, environmental protection, and practicality.

But after wandering abroad for many years, he also wants to return to China for development. So he took some domestic orders through social software, but customer satisfaction was not high, and often after a list was designed, it had to be changed many times.

He finally understood that the country had a large population and limited space, and his own steppe-style architecture simply could not meet their needs. And most people in China like magic space, because they can conjure up various spaces in a limited space for them to store.

Luo Zixia fell into a period of confusion, whether to change his design style to cater to the society, or continue to stay in the United States and not go to develop in China.

At this time, his cousin also seemed to be in a period of confusion.

It's just that compared to himself, this cousin seems to be much less entangled. One day, he told him that only by becoming stronger can he do what he likes.

That is, to conform to society first, and then to detach from society.

After hearing this, Luo Zixia felt very funny, because in this world, except for gods, almost no one can be detached from society, and once people start to cater to society, they can't extricate themselves.

However, this cousin's design style seems to be more popular with the market, and he will consider the demographic structure and economic conditions of each city, and the buildings he designs are more in line with people's actual needs.

His studio's business was not as good as before, and it was only then that he realized that this cousin was simply competing with him for a job, and he had to find a way to force him out of the United States, only then would the market come back to his hands.

A few years later, his cousin returned to China because of family changes, and he no longer engaged in architectural design, but started working in real estate.

Is it fun? Definitely more than that. Is it depressed, absolutely impossible. He only knew that he was the victor in the end.
