Chapter 75: Two stubborn donkeys who don't give in to each other!
The beautiful customer who successfully attracted traffic from Weiwei's official account is named Yang Liusi.
Originally, the details of our customers are their personal privacy, and we as funeral personnel should not be able to ask about them.
But this Yang Liusi is not an ordinary person, she is a well-known painter, when she was in the Academy of Fine Arts, she mainly studied oil painting.
However, a recent exhibition she held abroad closely combined oil painting with Chinese painting.
She said at a press conference that she was inspired by her father.
No wonder when Yang Liusi was in the store that day, he specially introduced his father to us as a painter of Zhong Aiguo.
When I came to Yang Liusi's house to sort out his father's body, I found that the old man had created a lot of Chinese paintings during his lifetime, and the artistic conception of many Chinese paintings even had a bit of everyone's style.
The paintings seem to depict lifelike characters, and these characters seem to tell moving stories in the paintings.
One of the paintings looks very interesting, with a stubborn donkey tied to a tall tree, and next to the big stubborn donkey is a small stubborn donkey, and the heads of the two donkeys are turned to the left and the other to the right, as if they are playing with each other.
The towering tree with the big stubborn donkey tied is depicted in a Chinese painting, while the little stubborn donkey next to it is depicted in an oil painting.
Does this painting seem to mean something?
I looked at the paintings for a while, wrapped them gently, and prepared them to be exhibited at the funeral for a while.
At this time, the wolf tooth necklace around my neck produced a violent concussion.
The old man in reading glasses stood beside me, as if he was very nostalgic for those paintings.
He let out a deep sigh beside the bed, as if he still had a little nostalgia for the world.
Seeing that the old man looked confused, I took the initiative to greet him and said, "Uncle, I like all these paintings you have created." It's just that people nowadays are more impetuous, and they may not be able to appreciate it. ”
The old man looked at me with a shocked face and said excitedly, "You...... Can you see me? ”
I smiled and said, "If you have any wishes, you can tell me and I will do my best to help you fulfill them." ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If my unsuccessful daughter can understand me half as much as you, I will die without regrets." ”
I asked, "Is there any discord between your father and daughter?" ”
"When she applied for the Academy of Fine Arts, I always hoped that she could learn Chinese painting and carry forward the Chinese painting that has been inherited in our country for thousands of years."
But she wanted to disobey me, and finally studied Western oil painting. I was so angry that I didn't pay attention to her anymore, and later she went abroad to study and held an oil painting exhibition. ”
"This girl is the worship of foreign charm, and the things left by the ancestors are the essence. She is now giving up her roots, which is really a shame for our Yang family. ”
I said, "Then you father and daughter, didn't you sit down and have a good talk?" Wouldn't it be nice to talk about it? ”
The old man sighed and said, "I don't know if this girl's temper is with me, even more stubborn than me!" Even if I don't provide her with tuition support, she relies on work-study abroad, but she gives herself up. Some time ago, I heard her mother say that she also held an art exhibition abroad. ”
"Hmph, I've never given birth to a daughter like this. The culture of one's own country is not much to promote, but it is necessary to develop foreign culture. ”
"I can't talk to her at all, and we can't talk to her on the phone."
I said, "Uncle, you're really stubborn. If you father and daughter could each take a step back, they wouldn't have been in contact with each other for so long, right? ”
The old man snorted and said, "Even if I die, I don't want to see her again." She is so admiring and charming, then never go back to this home, I don't welcome her back. ”
I shook my head helplessly, looked at the painting of two stubborn donkeys, and finally understood the meaning.
These two stubborn donkeys may express the relationship between their father and daughter.
"Uncle, your daughter has returned, and in a moment she will prepare a special funeral for you, and she will hold an exhibition of paintings for you. Listen to your daughter, this is your long-cherished wish. ”
The old man said coldly, "Who asked her to come back?" I don't need her to hold any art exhibition for me, let her go! ”
"But isn't your wish to be your daughter back?"
I seemed to be talking about the old man's sore spots, but he was still like a stubborn donkey, and his temper was very short.
He said angrily: "What if she is such a foreigner, even if she comes back? Aren't you going to get me the one abroad? I'm not rare! ”
"Then you really don't want to settle with your daughter?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I have nothing to talk about with her, she has long been a person who is not a father to me." ”
"Uncle, sometimes our ideas shouldn't be so conservative. Your daughter is excellent, she has her own ideas and ideals, and you should be happy for her. You're just not in agreement with some ideas, but you're not going to be enemies, are you? ”
The old man snorted, "You don't understand at all. If from now on, no one will learn Chinese painting, everyone will learn oil painting. So what kind of inheritance will our country's Chinese painting have in the future? Once there is a cultural fault, it will be a great harm to our entire nation. ”
"We have a 5,000-year-old culture, we should stand on the shoulders of giants and look down on the world, why should we flatter Western culture and belittle our own culture?"
"We should be incredibly proud of our culture."
Listening to the old man's impassioned speech, I was also thrilled to hear it.
The old man's stubborn and outdated ideas reminded me of my father. He was also unreceptive to new things, until we talked to each other, and he slowly accepted the changes in the funeral parlor.
I said, "Actually, your daughter is not a foreigner, she just has a different view of new things." She is not relinquishing the basics, but pursuing her own innovations. ”
"During the Cold War between you and her, she didn't always study oil painting, and she never gave up Chinese painting, and her achievements were not lower than yours."
"She is now at the top of the oil painting world, with the greatest creative freedom and the ability to change the depression of Chinese painting."
The old man was stunned by my words, and he didn't understand what I meant until I showed him the news of the exhibition his daughter was going to hold.
As he watched his daughter's speech at the press conference, tears welling up in his eyes.
"This exhibition is a new breakthrough of mine, a combination of oil painting and Chinese painting."
"I wanted to pass on the culture of my country, so I had this novel idea."
"It was my father who inspired me, and I'm grateful for his cultivation of me, thank you!"
The old man looked at his daughter in the video and shed tears of remorse.
Over the years, he has had too many misunderstandings about his daughter, and now he doesn't even have a chance to make up for it......
