Mu Chun called Lao Qian again and asked if Ding Jiajun had arranged for Lao Qian to work in the funeral home, but Lao Qian replied simply, "Who else is there besides me, he, what do people want to interview him everywhere now, and they want to ask him to draw things, he is annoyed to death, and asks me if I can hide in my store." ”

Hiding from Lao Qian is really a good way, Mu Chun grinned on the phone. Lao Qian sighed, and then said, "But the funeral home still welcomes him to go, the makeup is really level, like painting, he also started a new business, hand-painted photo albums, this business is very popular, and he can also help everyone draw the future of people, in short, after adding Ding Jiajun's thoughts, those family members seem to be comforted by the paintings painted by Ding Jiajun." ”

Lao Qian paused for a moment and said, "But I haven't seen it either, I'm too busy in the recent peak season, even if I see him there, it's just to say hello, and I don't have time to look at his works." ”

Mu Chun heard Zhang Wenwen talk about a case where when he was a student in North America, a neuroscience professor once treated a painter who suddenly couldn't see color, and this case now seems to have some similarities with Ding Jiajun.

The painter also experienced despair, experienced people's doubts, and his eyes could only see black, white and gray, in the final analysis, different degrees of gray.

Blueberry jam is gray, toast is gray, and the old man is gray.

A painter's world has no color.

He also went through medical treatment and treatment, and after a few years he gradually began to adapt and accept the world as he saw it, and the world was so detached from color that it seemed like a punishment, but it was not a gift.

He can see a world like no other, and what he has to do is to show the beauty of this world to more people, because he can see, and others want to understand the beauty of this world through his brush.

Sunrise and sunset are different grays, so use brushes and paints to present this beauty and solemnity.

The trees are gray and have a different metallic sheen in the moonlight, like a purely mechanical world.

Later, "The Mechanical Tree in the Moonlight" became one of the hottest works of the year and won many awards.

The painter humbly explains: "It's not a creation, it's just the world I see, and the world I see is like that, it's a gift." ”

Zhang Wenwen said that his mentor at the time, the professor of neurology, believed, "You can't understand the world when treating patients, because there is no mutual understanding between people, what you can do is to be his eyes and see the world he sees with his eyes." ”

Ding Jiajun's eyes see beauty, more saturated colors, this is the world's gift to him, and now his work in the funeral home, although many people can't understand it, but for Ding Jiajun, it is the most suitable life for him.

That's enough.

Mu Chun's phone was found by Ding Jiajun on a business card, this business card was given to him by Mu Chun before, and Ding Jiajun didn't even look at it when he got it. He was in very poor spirits at the time, and when Mu Chun handed him his business card, he just said, "If there is another funeral, remember to look for me." ”

At that time, this business card was put in Ding Jiajun's pocket, and he casually sandwiched it in a sketchbook when he returned home.

Mu Chun was not half surprised that Ding Jiajun went to the funeral home to work as a makeup artist, but was a little relieved.

When a person finds an environment and lifestyle he likes, who can judge his life as bad?

Mu Chun was worried about Gong Hai, a twelve-year-old boy introduced by Ding Jiajun to Huayuanqiao Hospital.

After practicing the first movement of Beethoven's Farewell to the Piano Sonata No. 26 in E flat major, Gong Hai sat in front of the piano exhausted.

In the past, Dad would always sit on the sofa next to him, clapping his hands and encouraging Gong Hai, "The performance just now was fantastic." ”

Gong Hai would say, "No, there are still many details that are not perfect." ”

"No, no, little starfish, just enjoy your show."

Gong Hai's first piano lesson was taken to him by Gong Yifeng. Because this side of the sea is the largest district in the city, and the youth activity center is in the eastern suburbs 8 kilometers away, Gong Yifeng drove the manual transmission car to take Gong Hai to class.

At that time, Gong Hai was 4 years old, and his mother Liu Yimei had died of cancer for three years.

Gong Hai has lived with his father since he was a child, a father and a boy, depending on each other.

When Gong Hai was 4 years old, Gong Yifeng put his violin in Gong Hai's hands, and the young Gong Hai thought it was a fun toy and accidentally smashed it on the ground.

Gong Yifeng was very distressed, but in the dark he seemed to understand that the child might not have a fate with the violin.

Although I grew up playing the violin, I have always loved music, even though I did not embark on a professional path.

If Gong Hai didn't like it, he wouldn't be reluctant.

He secretly put the violin into the case, picked up Gong Hai and asked, "What instrument do you like?" ”

Gong Hai's two little hands moved back and forth on Gong Yifeng's back, and ten fingers regularly tapped Gong Yifeng's back, babbling and humming in his mouth.

"You like the piano?" Gong Yifeng suddenly seemed to understand Gong Hai's talent.

The piano and violin are both very good instruments, why didn't you think of them?

Gong Yifeng also started learning violin at the age of 4, but he had a difficult start, because his talent was really insufficient, and just listening to the pitch was already a headache for him.

A week later, Gong Yifeng took Gong Hai to the youth activity center to learn piano in the rain.

As expected, the piano teacher praised Gong Hai again and again for being great, a rare person who can sit still and concentrate, and for a child of this age, his hands are really a little big.

Gong Hai looked at the sofa and remembered the scene of the first class, his memory is very good, he will hardly forget anything, especially everything related to learning piano, which is clearly and neatly imprinted in his mind.

Just as fast as he memorized music.

In the eyes of many children, memorizing music is a very troublesome thing, especially after practicing several scores, even if they are memorized, it is easy to make mistakes when playing, and it is always inevitable to make mistakes in a few notes once in a while.

But Gong Hai is different, memorizing music is only a little more difficult for him than eating, he can hear harmony at the age of four and a half, and can hear double tones, three tones and other sounds that are not easy to distinguish.

Absolute pitch.

When others talked about Gong Hai's talent, he always shyly hid behind Gong Yifeng and grabbed Gong Yifeng's clothes, "Dad." ”

At this time, Gong Yifeng would explain professionally, "The absolute pitch is not as exaggerated as everyone thinks, it is neither magic nor untrainable. It's just that maybe he'll be a little quicker on the memorizer. ”
