Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 555 Painters and Sculptors
Zhang Nuanxin, who went to Fengcheng to supervise the post-production of the fourth part of "East Love", completed the work, and Li Tuo, who followed her, also invited back two sculpture and art teachers from Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.

One of these two is Zhu Minggang, a painter.The other is Yang Meiying, a sculptor.

As soon as Li Tuo introduced it to He Ping, He Ping realized that these two teachers were not young and could not be compared with great masters like Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi, but their artistic achievements were not low. It's the famous kind.

Zhu Minggang is over [-] years old this year. He is an honorary lifelong professor of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, the first, third and fourth directors of the China Artists Association, the director and consultant of the Chinese Printmakers Association, and the first, second, third and fourth representatives of the National Council of Literary Representatives.

Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he participated in the Anti-Japanese War and began to abandon traditional Chinese paintings and draw posters to promote the anti-Japanese and national salvation. Later, he joined the "All-China Woodcut Association Against the Enemy" and began to create woodcuts. He also engaged in art education. National Overseas Normal School and Yong'an Normal School taught until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has been engaged in creation and art education, and is one of the most experienced professors in Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts.

Yang Meiying was admitted to the sculpture class of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 1952, and studied under Liu Rongfu, Zheng Huinan, Zhang Fameng, Wang Ximin, Huang Xinwei and Jin Kejian and other famous sculptors.Among them, some of them had studied in Japan and France, and the teaching lineup was rich and powerful. Under their training, Yang Meiying became the first generation of sculptors trained in New China. Founder.

In the past 20 years, Yang Meiying has undertaken many major social tasks in many countries, including the sculpture of the Harbin Flood Fighting Memorial Tower, the "Celebrating the Harvest" at the National Agricultural Exhibition Hall, the memorial statue in front of the tomb of Fushun, the statue of Zhongshan Square in Fengcheng, and the outdoor sculpture of Tiananmen Memorial Hall. Large-scale sculpture and other projects can be said to be the most mainstream sculptor in China at present.

Li Tuo was able to invite these two, which made He Ping so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

On that day, He Ping first prepared a reception banquet for the two old gentlemen, and the next day he took the two teachers to visit the writers' village under construction.

"Two teachers, our writer's village covers an area of ​​more than 6 square meters, with a construction area of ​​1 square meters. It includes a library of [-] square meters, a writer's living space of [-] square meters and [-] taels of [-] square meters of indoor activity space and supporting facilities. There are still many green landscapes and water systems in the Writers Village Park. What we lack now are sculptures at several important locations and paintings on walls and floors to highlight the artistic atmosphere of the entire park. "

He Ping then described his ideal artistic sculptures and 3D paintings to the two elderly people.

Zhu Minggang and Yang Meiying became interested after hearing this.

When Li Tuo invited them, he also told them about sculpture and painting, but it was not as detailed as He Ping's description, which aroused their strong interest.

"Mr. He, your idea is very interesting!" Yang Meiying said.

"The two teachers laughed at me. I'm just a layman. I just thought about it in my mind when I was conceiving the construction of the writer's village. The specific implementation depends on the help of the two teachers. Please help me. "

Zhu Minggang is over [-] years old this year, but his smile is full of air, "Mr. He, this is too polite. We are here to help. These ideas of yours are indeed very unique. I haven't seen them in my art career for so many years. I have heard of it. I am also interested in seeing if I can paint the works you describe."

Accompanying the two old men to visit the writer's village under construction, He Ping arranged the two of them in his small courtyard in the town.

"Teachers, this is my house in the town. You two should feel wronged here these days."

Zhu Minggang said: "Teacher Xiao He was joking, if your conditions here are still aggrieved, then the place where our family lives can only be regarded as a pig's nest."

After arranging the board and lodging of the two teachers, He Ping came out of the courtyard.

The creative habits of most artists in this era are relatively rigorous, and they will definitely go to the front line and experience it for themselves.Whether it is sketching or collecting folk songs, only by integrating your own artistic inspiration into reality can you create excellent works.

"Master Tuo, you have really made a great contribution this time." He Ping said to Li Tuo on the way back to Hantun.

"Why are you being so polite? I'm also doing it for our expert village."

The phrase "we" moved He Ping deeply. Now the Writers' Village is not only his career, but also Li Tuo's.

"This time I invite you back, and my task is considered complete. In two days, I'm going to take your sister-in-law back to the capital to be chic!"

Zhang Nuanxin filmed two "East Love" consecutively last year, and Li Tuo also accompanied her in Ping County for a whole year.

After a year of busy work, the couple finally had some time for themselves, and they planned to return to the capital to recuperate for a while.

He Ping said: "It's been a hard year for you and my sister-in-law! Let me know before you leave, and I'll see you off. After you go back, take a good rest. I'll be waiting for you in Hantun."

"They are all familiar with the road. What can I give away? Now I can walk back from Ping County to Beijing with my eyes closed."

With Li Tuo's help, the sculptures and murals in the Writer's Village came to fruition.

Occasionally He Ping would go to the two old gentlemen to learn more, and sighed after watching.

Modern and contemporary art is sometimes regarded as nonsense to laymen, but when you see the creations of those masters with superb skills and talents, you still cannot help but sigh in your heart. Maybe this is the difference in talent. !

Professor Guo Wenxing, who went to Nanhe Province a few years ago because of the expansion of the Jinkela Feed Factory, recently called He Ping. The land for the two feed factories in ZZ City and Jinmen City has now been acquired and will start construction soon.

In just three months, the two factories went from nothing to construction. This efficiency is not unpleasant. This shows Professor Guo Wenxing's dedication and diligence.

And Han Zhaojun of the chicken farm went to Nanhe Province and Jinmen City after the Chinese New Year. Following Professor Guo Wenxing, the location of the two breeding bases is also very close to the feed factory. This is the advantage of group operations.

Compared with the efficiency of Professor Guo Wenxing, the efficiency of the breeding base is not slow. The main reason is that Han Zhaojun took a trick and relied on the feed factory to acquire land and build.

Hong Qi, who was far away in Bao'an, also started to move, and Pengfa officially began to march to South China.

Wei Feng also returned to Nanshan after the Chinese New Year. He attached great importance to Nanshan, a pig farm.

In the first two months of the new year, He Ping felt very pleased with the rapid and orderly expansion of Hantun village-run enterprises.
