53. There is light in the heart
Forehead...... Did you recognize the wrong person?
Aoki carefully and carefully identified the person in the photo again, yes!
He was sure that he was not looking at the wrong person, but he still returned the photo to Wu Lixia. Maybe there are people in the world who look exactly the same!
Xia Wenyuan was puzzled and asked, "Is there something wrong with this painting?" And does this have anything to do with my daughter? β
Aoki thought for a moment and said, "When an artist is creating, he pours his heart into it. When we are faced with a work of art, we should not only appreciate it from its external form, but also look at its inner form and experience the creator's mind. The greater the artist's heart and mind when creating a creation, the greater the power it contains to directly touch people's hearts, which we call 'Shen Yun' in Eastern culture. β
"Sometimes we find that when we look at the original, we can feel something special that moves us, but when we look at its reproductions or online pictures, we don't. With today's technology, photography and other means of artistic reproduction have been able to restore any detail of the artwork within the range of human eye, but we still need to look at the original work to feel its special charm, which is what the artist poured into his heart when creating. β
"I once discussed this issue with Professor Mei, and the professor called this 'spiritual residue', which can also be called 'soul residue'. This is where a work of art cannot be copied, and it is also where art is great. β
"Picasso's painting uses a method of fragmentation and combination, dividing a woman into two people, and combining two people together, becoming two sides of the same body, they are the same person, but they are not the same person. When the painter painted this work, his heart must have been full of contradictions and pain, not the love and sensuality that the so-called art critics say. This split spirit of his was poured into the painting and remains to this day. β
"Heh-" Hu Xing on the side couldn't help but snort softly, "I really underestimate you!" β
In her impression, Aoki's studio is like a scrap yard, not like a person who knows how to appreciate art, but Aoki's words directly overturned the image he left in Hu Xing's mind.
Wu Lixia nodded frequently when she heard this, compared with Xia Wenyuan, in terms of art, her attainments are higher.
"I didn't expect Mr. Aoki and Professor Mei to be unique in the field of art appreciation!" Wu Lixia sighed.
Peter didn't have much interest in art and asked, "Are you trying to say that the 'mental residue' left by Picasso in the painting has become the second consciousness in Mr. Xia's mind?" So, is Picasso going to kill Xia Lao? Hahaha......" he laughed insolently.
Xia Wenyuan also thought it was incredible, I don't know how many people have seen Picasso's paintings, and others are not all good?
Aoki said, "Of course not! The 'spiritual residue' exists only on this work, it does not leave the work, and it cannot become a complete independent consciousness. However, if someone had already planted a seed of consciousness in Xia Lao's body, then it would be more appropriate to use the 'spiritual residue' in such a painting that was 'fated' with him to activate this seed and make it germinate. β
"After talking for a long time, you still haven't made it clear how the shadow who wants to kill him in Xia Lao's dream came from!" Peter accused.
Aoki spoke dryly, not wanting to argue with Peter anymore. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and you can never convince someone who doesn't believe in you. What's more, he didn't need to prove anything to Peter at all, he was only responsible for Xia Wenyuan.
He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and lazily leaned back on the sofa to drink tea, looking like you believe it or not.
Xia Wenyuan knew that Aoki had already said what he should have said, although many things were too mysterious, he had no doubts. Only those who have truly experienced that kind of dream know how terrifying that dream is.
"Anyway, that thing has been wiped out by Mr. Aoki, and I think I can sleep soundly tonight." Xia Wenyuan said.
"Uh...... This one...... I'm afraid not yet! Aoki said, "The one I helped you destroy is not its body." Because it has become a shadow in your heart and symbiosis with you, it is very difficult to get rid of it. It's just getting weak now, and as long as you have a shadow in your dreams, it's going to be strong again. Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Xia Wenyuan asked.
"Do you remember what the shadow used to say to you in your dreams?"
Xia Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible for me to get rid of my shadow, unless I isolate myself in the darkness forever?" β
"Yes, there is no shadow only in a place of complete darkness."
"No! I can't let the darkness envelop my heart, and I'd better die a happy death than that! Xia Wenyuan said.
Aoki was a little surprised, but he was a little appreciative in his heart, so he said, "Actually, there is another way......
"What?" Xia Wenyuan asked.
Aoki said, "If the light is everywhere, the shadow will have nowhere to hide." β
Xia Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "This is more difficult to do than the previous one, but I'll try my best." β
Aoki nodded and said, "Even if you can't get rid of it, don't let it grow too fast, and when it doesn't work, let Li Wei come to Ruhua Bar to find me." As for the root of the problem, I will wait for Professor Mei to come back and discuss with him to see if there is any other way. β
"Okay, I just don't know when Professor Mei will come back?"

When Mei Ziqing first walked out of the Copenhagen airport, she felt dizzy because of the jet lag, but Professor Mei Yiqiu looked energetic and chatted with Mr. Hans, a biology professor at the University of Copenhagen who came to pick them up.
Mei Yiqiu smiled and said that the current young people's physical strength is too poor, so let Mei Ziqing sleep well after arriving at the hotel and pour out the jet lag. But Mei Ziqing was soon attracted by the fairytale world of Copenhagen, and the fatigue of more than ten hours of travel was swept away in an instant.
Zealand is blessed with beautiful scenery and fresh air. The trees in the city look taller than the houses, and there are green spaces everywhere. The paved roads are not as congested as in the country, and people ride their bicycles freely.
When the car turned into the path, Mei Ziqing saw people setting up tents in the woods on the side of the road, and children picking mushrooms around.
"What a fairytale world!" Mei Ziqing sighed.
"Now you know why many international conferences are held here. β
Mei Ziqing nodded, she had already decided, back to the hotel, put down her luggage, she was going to go out to play, and there were still two days before the start of the meeting, she was going to swim all over Zealand.
Unfortunately, her wish was frustrated. The organizing committee hurriedly informed them that the meeting was ahead of schedule.
Mei Ziqing followed Professor Mei, who had not completely finished the jet lag, to the Bella International Conference Center.
One of the organizers of the conference, Professor Frederick, the moderator of the conference, announced that the agenda of the conference had been changed, and the last international conference on genetics would be brought forward, and his speech did not mention anything related to the pyramids.
The flocking journalists began to ask what exactly the new discovery about the pyramids was and why the agenda was suddenly canceled.
After Frederick answered a dozen questions in succession, he was really annoyed and said loudly: "No new discoveries!" There are no pyramids! Everything is a rumor! The pyramids are in Egypt, so why hold a conference on the pyramids in Copenhagen? β
The reporters were then evicted to wait outside the central hall.
Frederick said apologetically: "Next, the person whose name I read is invited to have a private meeting in the second conference center on the third floor, and the others, including their assistants and companions, are invited to go back to the hotel to rest." β
Mei Ziqing heard the names of internationally renowned scholars come out of Professor Frederick's mouth, and she had seen or heard the names of these people in many places in the past, but she only realized at this moment that Western names are really long, especially when you hear the host read out their full names on an extremely solemn occasion.
In the middle of the long string of names, Mei Ziqing suddenly heard a very short name, and because of the pronunciation, she almost didn't hear it:
βProfessor Mei Yiqiuβ¦β¦β
