The old lady Tang Huiqin has always been a pragmatic person, although she integrates Chinese and Western painting genres, but she is the only one who loves realist oil painting. The representatives of realism are Courbet, Rousseau, Corot, Millet, Daumier, etc., whose artistic practices and masterpieces have supported the cultural starry sky of realism.

One of Tang Huiqin's favorite paintings is Courbet's large-scale realist oil painting "The Funeral of Ornan" created in 1855, which depicts gravediggers, relatives and friends of the deceased, peacekeepers, judges, notaries, clergy, mayors, etc., which fascinatingly reveals the psychology of each character, and mercilessly portrays deceit, greed, and hypocrisy. Courbet clearly displayed the banner of realism that stood in parallel with the "ideal beauty" of neoclassicism and the "exaggerated beauty" of romanticism.

For Tang Huiqin, who has experienced more than half a century, she has experienced the joys, sorrows and sorrows in her life, from war to peace to peace. The ups and downs of the country, the nation, and the family have also become beautiful waves in her life.

Courbet's realist paintings were also the main topic of Tang Huiqin's research on Western oil painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Liu Yizhi, who was still a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts at the time, was her right-hand man, and conducted an in-depth study of Courbet, a talented French painter who dared to use his own art exhibition, issue a statement to explain his artistic ideas, and challenge the trite themes and precepts advocated by conservatives.

It is precisely because of this experience during the university that under the influence of Tang Huiqin, Liu Yizhi had the great idea of traveling all over the world, especially European countries, to travel and paint after graduating from university.

Now, Liu Yizhi has returned with honors and has already occupied a place in the history of oil painting in the world. He became one of the most outstanding realist oil painting masters in China.

"Yesterday's chat, Yizhi has also suffered a lot over the years to have such a great achievement. I remember the last time he came to see me, it was five years ago. At that time, he was already well-known and studied in an art museum in Austria. Hard work is what you will pay, and it's not easy for this child! One ambition, one ambition, just like his name, has only one ambition...... Now that he's done it, I'm happy for him! ”

Speaking of her proud protégé Liu Yizhi, Tang Huiqin has a happy smile. The old man has lived all his life, and everything else is taken lightly, thinking that his younger generations can realize their own ideals, and each of them can find their own path in life.

"Mom, if you look at the current domestic painting world, your ** accounts for more than half. You are the fragrance of peach and plum, and when we return to the capital in a while, it is estimated that there will be an endless stream of people who come to visit. ”

Fang Liping said with a smile. In fact, his mother is also the same fate, his father unfortunately passed away in those years of **, leaving his mother alone to raise him, but he was not interested in painting, but chose to enter politics, fortunately, his daughter Yanran likes to paint, but this time there is no hope to go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts as Tang Huiqin.

"My ** is a lot, and they are quite competitive. Originally, Yanran's talent was very good, but it's a pity that ......" Grandma Tang Huiqin also knew that her granddaughter Qin Yanran was applying for Qingbei University, although she felt regretful, but she would not interfere with her children's own choices, and their lives should be left to them.

"Mom! Although Yanran doesn't go to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, isn't there a master of painting like you to personally guide her? In the future, our family may be able to become a famous painter through the ages. ”

Fang Liping smiled and comforted her mother, while helping her mother to start working in the kitchen, the two mothers and daughters were preparing lunch at noon.

"Yanran's talent is good. Over the years, I have learned almost all about Western and Chinese paintings. But I always felt that there was something missing, and then I saw Yizhi yesterday, and I knew. Yan Ran's painting skills are no longer picky, what is lacking is only life experience and the depth of artistic conception of painting. ”

The old man likes to chatter when he talks, and while he is busy working, he talks to his daughter Fang Liping, "If a painting wants to have a soul, it must have an idea, and it must have the idea it wants to strive for." I haven't seen the unique expressive tension in the painting, the kind of shocking work that I haven't seen for a long time. The "The Train is Coming" that Yizhi won this time has rarely touched me over the years, so it's no wonder that it won the Vienna Gold Medal in Europe......"

On the other side, after Su Lin hung up the phone call from Qin Yanran, he made a call to Li Hao's house.

"Haozi, how's it going? Fill in the application today, what school do you want to apply for? Come to the capital too! Anyway, the universities in the capital are all in the area of Xueyuan Road, so we can meet often. ”

Su Lin said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to go to your house today to fill in the volunteers, but Yanran made an appointment with me, so I won't go to you." Now let's talk on the phone, what school do you want to apply to? ”

"The head of the class asked you out again? Hey...... Surin, you oblivion. Li Hao also smiled, seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "This time I scored 666 points, and our whole family was shocked." Now, even my uncle, who is usually not a bird, has come to give me ideas to fill in the volunteers. You didn't see Li Yan's face, it was all green like anything, he was scolded half to death by his parents, and it is estimated that he may have to repeat his studies for a year. Otherwise, his score would only be enough for some of the worse colleges. ”

This time the college entrance examination scored a high score of more than 600, Li Hao can be regarded as getting ahead in the family, and those relatives and friends who have always said that he is not angry all day long have come home one by one to congratulate him. On the contrary, Li Yan, who was originally arrogant at home, was much worse in this exam, and his performance was abnormal, although he was also admitted to a line, but only more than that, basically if he really wanted to go to college, he could only apply for the exam to those less famous universities.

And Li Hao's score is already relatively high, out of the two universities of Qingbei and Yanjing, and the other universities are basically at his disposal.

"Haha! You have been pressed by Li Yan for so many years, he always thinks that he is great at everything, and looks down on you, but this time the college entrance examination is not as much as yours, I must be very annoyed in my heart. Haozi, are you happy this time? Ha ha...... Have you ever decided what school to apply for? ”

Su Lin is also happy for Li Hao, that Li Yan is as annoying as his cousin Su Wen, always thinking that if his academic performance is good, he can do nonsense at home, and he doesn't take other brothers and sisters in his eyes, that kind of self-righteous superiority is really annoying.

"My dad and my uncle asked me to fill in Renmin University, and I think it's pretty much the same. Anyway, they are all key universities, and they are still in the capital. Lin Zi, you must be applying for Qingbei University, right? In this way, when we arrive in the capital, we can pick up girls together...... Haha......"

In fact, Li Hao has no concept of those universities, except that he knows that the top universities are Qingbei and Yanjing. Other Renmin University, University of Finance and Economics, Forestry University, University of Technology, Normal University, etc., all feel similar.

However, Li Hao is most concerned about Huaxia Women's University, which is said to also recruit male students. However, it recruits male students majoring in broadcasting and hosting, which is one or twenty male students every year. Think about it, in Huaxia Women's University, there are thousands of high-quality beauties from all over the country, but there are only one or twenty male students. Li Hao felt excited as long as he thought about it, but unfortunately his voice was not good, otherwise, he would definitely try to see the broadcasting and hosting major of Huaxia Women's University.

"Renmin University? That's next to Qingbei University, haha...... Yes! Haozi, when the time comes, our two brothers will crisscross the capital together and pick countless flowers......" Su Lin hadn't bragged to a mouse like this for a long time, and smiled into the phone, "But! You'd better find a way to lose your big belly first! Otherwise, pretty girls will be scared away by your big belly. ”

"You're going to make fun of me, hehe...... Linzi, when I arrived in the capital, I still counted on you to cover me. But my dad said that this time I can be admitted to Renmin University, and he rewarded me with 50,000 yuan! Let me use it well when I get to college. The fat man has money, so he doesn't believe that he can't soak in the girl......"

Obviously, Li Hao, like Su Lin, has begun to look forward to a good college life.

"Haha! Then I wish you success, Haozi, and when the time comes, hug left and right, tsk...... It's amazing...... I'll hang up first...... I'll play with you another day......"

Hanging up the phone, Surin was in a good mood. Mom and Dad went to work, Lingling was already in the summer cram school of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, and she was alone at home, and she happened to go to Qin Yanran's house.

"What should I wear?"

Before going out, Su Lin also carefully chose his clothes. However, he changed it back and forth with a T-shirt and jeans, and finally picked out a white T-shirt and jeans, grabbed his hair and went out.

At Qin Yanran's house, when Fang Liping and her mother Tang Huiqin were still busy in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Qin Yanran, who was dressed well in the house, suddenly ran to the door excitedly to open the door, she thought it was Su Lin coming, but as soon as the door opened, she found that it was not Su Lin.

"Uncle Liu, are you here?"

At the door is Liu Yizhi and his good friend painter Yuan Hai, Qin Yanran accompanied his grandmother Tang Huiqin to see Liu Yizhi last time, so he knows this oil painting master. (To be continued.) )
