Text Chapter 111, under the love of the world
In 1939, although the domestic war situation was quite tight, Zhang Daqian still thought about his third sister who was far away in the magic capital, and took a plane from the capital of Tianfu to the magic capital with the newlywed fourth wife Wen Bo to celebrate Li Qiujun's 40th birthday.
At that time, Zhang Daqian was already suffering from diabetes, so every dish he ate, Li Qiujun had to taste it first. Before leaving, Li Qiujun took Mrs. Wenbo's hand, handed her the recipe he wrote for Zhang Daqian, and said to her: "Good sister, how good it is that you can take care of him by his side every day, I just can't!" He is a national treasure, and everything must be done with his body! ”
During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Qiujun, who was in the magic capital of the occupied area, together with Ms. He Xiangning, organized a rescue center for disaster children to shelter homeless orphans.
And Zhang Daqian was very worried about his third sister who was far away in the occupied area, and persuaded her to hurry to his side many times, for fear that "there would be many wars and separation". However, Li Qiujun couldn't leave the magic capital, first, because he was worried about his two adopted daughters who were studying, and second, he didn't want to add a burden to Zhang Daqian's life.
In August 1945, after hearing the news of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Daqian, who was far away in the capital of Tianfu, could not hide his inner excitement, and painted a huge landscape painting "Reckless and Lush Green Map" that praised the beauty of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and stamped it with the seal of "Autumn Late".
He stamped it with two meanings: first, because he knew that this painting would be the masterpiece of his life; The second is to let Li Qiujun, who is far away in the magic capital, see it one day in the future, and send his thoughts from afar, so as to commemorate the affection of their lives.
Subsequently, he handed over the painting to his friend Xie Zhiliu, hoping that when Xie Zhiliu took this work to the magic capital exhibition, Li Qiujun would be able to see a little lovesickness.
Unfortunately, before Xie Zhiliu could show this painting to Li Qiujun, the "Reckless and Lush Green Picture" was confiscated in 1952, and it was not returned to Mr. Xie Zhiliu until 1984.
In 1949, Zhang Daqian traveled from Southeast Asia to South America, he missed the love of his life, and every time he went to a country, he would collect a little soil there, and then put it in an envelope and write "Three Sisters Exhibition". By the time of Mr. Zhang's death, he had more than a dozen envelopes that had never been opened.
Later, through Li Qiujun's younger brother in Hong Kong, he wrote in a letter to Li Qiujun: "Third sister, I heard that you have been sick recently, and my heart is like a knife. The biggest regret in life is that you can't live together, and you can't die together. Although you and I have written the epitaph together, I am really worried about whether we will be able to share the same cave after death. Shushan Qinshu has been loved by countless celebrities in his life, but compared with the third sister, the six palaces are all overshadowed. Starling still remembers your cute and delicate appearance when you first met today, and it is unforgettable, as if it was yesterday...... Hate the strait apart, it is home in the southwest often as the southeast, dust wax moss in the dream. ”
Zhang Daqian and Li Qiujun have not seen each other since they separated in 1949. In 1971, when Li Qiujun died, Zhang Daqian was holding an exhibition in Hong Kong. When he heard the news that his favorite person would go first, Zhang Daqian was suddenly in a trance, couldn't kneel for a long time, and couldn't eat for a few days and nights.
Since then, he has aged a lot all of a sudden, and the disciples around him often hear him say that "the third sister is alone, ......" A few years later, Zhang Daqian passed away.
In March 2004, after several twists and turns, "The Picture of the Reckless and Lush Green" was finally auctioned by Xie Zhiliu's descendants. After this masterpiece of Zhang Daqian's life surfaced, the origin of "Autumn Late" was finally deciphered, thus exposing this timeless love.
From the point of view of time, the year of Ji Chou is 1949, that year is Zhang Daqian's 50th birthday, and it is also Li Qiujun's 50th birthday, that is, the two broke off contact that year, according to the origin of the seal of "Autumn Late", this should be Zhang Daqian's gift to Liu Qiujun's 50th birthday.
According to the relationship between Zhang Daqian and Liu Qiujun, and this should have been painted on the eve of Zhang Daqian's departure from the mainland in 1949, it can be said that it is unknown whether the two can meet in the future, so this painting should be the best of Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and paintings. It is one of the best lotus pictures painted by Mr. Daqian in his life, and it is estimated that its quality is no less than the lotus picture that Zhang Daqian gave to Taizu later.
According to the situation, this painting should also be handed over by someone, but I don't know if Li Qiujun has received this painting. And why this painting appeared in Hong Kong is a mystery, and I don't know if this painting appeared in front of the world in Lei Weidong's previous life.
According to the "Reckless and Lush Green Picture" given to Li Qiujun in later generations, it is estimated that it is more than tens of millions, so this painting should not be lower than this price.
And Lei Weidong not only cares about the authenticity of this painting, although because of the reason that he does not know Zhang Daqian deeply, Lei Weidong does not know whether Zhang Daqian gave Li Qiujun this painting in 1949, but the appearance of the seal of "Autumn Late" makes Lei Weidong think that this painting is absolutely genuine.
You must know that in the previous life, it was not until the appearance of "Cang Reckless and Cuicui" that everyone knew that Zhang Daqian also had a seal of "Autumn Late", and now even if there are counterfeiters, they will not stamp the word "Autumn Late".
And even if Lei Weidong doesn't know much about painting, you can see the painter's profound painting skills, unless the counterfeiter's painting level can be close to the level of Mr. Daqian's painting of lotus flowers, but will someone of that level fake someone else's painting? What's more, now that Mr. Daqian is still alive, his paintings are not as valuable as those of later generations.
"Well, it's really not good to hang in the hall here! It's better to frame it and hang it in the study, be careful that this painting is a national treasure, but now it's only 500 yuan, which is really cheap. In 30 years, it will rise at least tens of thousands of times! Lei Weidong said with surprise.
Lei Weidong is no longer surprised by the current price of artworks, no wonder in the future, it is often said that art must first be rich, and now that the mainland can't even eat enough, the price of art is naturally cheap. ”
Lei Weidong suddenly sniffed and asked, "What fragrance?" ”
Liu Wei came to a set of sandalwood furniture and explained: "Here, Lei Shao, didn't you say that you like rosewood furniture?" This was bought from a pawn shop, and it is said that it used to be used in the palace! “
Lei Weidong was speechless, he seemed to have seen it on TV, sandalwood was used for the emperor in the past.
"How much does it cost to bring in all this furniture? Is the money I gave enough! ”
"Of course it's enough, Lei Shao, you approved five million Hong Kong dollars, and a set of rosewood furniture like this is only 100,000 yuan, so you can't use that much at all!" Liu Wei replied: "Lei Shao, you don't know, the things you want are actually this set of rosewood furniture is more expensive, as far as those calligraphy and paintings, I heard others say that they are pawned by people from the mainland, and they are not worth much at all, you can buy a pair for a few hundred yuan, and they are all genuine." As for the Hetian jade you mentioned, we directly pulled in hundreds, but only hundreds of thousands, and now everyone doesn't know how to place them, there are too many things. ”
Lei Weidong sighed, according to his estimates, the most valuable thing in the house now is these antique calligraphy and paintings, precious furniture, gold and silver decorations and other items, although it is only a few million now, but the price of these things will skyrocket in a few years, it is estimated that in eight years, it will be worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars faster than the price of the luxury house he is buying now.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you will open a pawn shop and buy all the mainlanders who come to Hong Kong to sell antiques, which are not worth much now, and when the mainland is a local tyrant after a few decades, it is estimated that you can make hundreds or even thousands of times the profit, which is much more profitable than speculating in real estate.
"Brother Liu, what are your comrades-in-arms from the mainland doing now? Are there any female veterans? Lei Weidong thought for a while and said.
"What else can I do! Lei Shao, they don't have any skills, except for some people who were recruited by Wu Bo as workers because of the expansion of the factory, the rest of them have nothing to do, and they are idle there all day long! ”
When it comes to his comrades-in-arms Liu Wei and Zhao Hongjun, he is a little weak-hearted, because there are too many people brought, and the factory can't digest it at all. In order to settle these people, Wu Bo was not worried to death. Now Lei Shao doesn't know, and if he knows, he will be angry enough.
"As for the female veterans, there are dozens of them here this time, I don't know what Lei Shao is asking for?" Liu Wei thought about it, and in line with the principle that more things are better than less things, the current situation of the factory did not say.
"Hong Kong's law and order is not good, for the sake of safety, I want to equip Mr. Liu and Sister Hong with bodyguards! You choose first, I'll go to the factory area in a few days to have a look, and I'll pick a female bodyguard. Second, let's meet the new veterans, and arrange everyone's work by the way. Lei Weidong thought for a while and said.
