On June 5438- 10, 2004, Hunan Economic News published "Sticking to the Artistic Bottom Line of Commercial Society-Impression of Shi Shuhong", which attracted special attention from people from all walks of life. On the same day, the reporter interviewed Shi Shuhong, because as the first batch of young cultural celebrities in Hunan Province, he actively participated in the Olympic torch relay, raised money for earthquake relief and was ready to help others.
How do contemporary youth realize the value of life and stick to the artistic bottom line? How to contribute to the country and society? As a young man in the new era, he is working hard towards his ideal; As a contemporary calligrapher, he has been quietly pursuing and exploring the lofty realm of calligraphy art; As a scholar in the new century, deep humanistic care has always surged in his heart; As an Olympic torchbearer, he held high the flame and conveyed his passion to people of all nationalities in the world. He deeply understands that art is a form of existence with a realm, and the cleansing and purification of the soul by art can often awaken people from the secular sleep. Because of this, Shi Shuhong has been exploring the true meaning of life outside of calligraphy art.
"A person's life may burn or rot. I can't rot I am willing to burn. " Ostrovsky's famous words are a banner of life. 10 years ago, Shi Shuhong founded his own calligraphy and painting art garden newspaper with his love for calligraphy, which was successfully published 100. It was this tabloid, which was only eight times as big at that time, which initiated the publicity and reporting in the painting and calligraphy circles in Hunan Province. Mr. Tan Tan, former chairman of Hunan Federation of Literary and Art Circles, wrote an inscription in Selected Works of Shi Shuhong's Calligraphy: "Shi Shuhong and I are fellow villagers. Most people who come out of Hunan have a kind of tenacity. The spirit of worrying about the country and the people and being the first is particularly prominent in these people. They would rather sleep outdoors and starve, and they firmly believe that they must find a way out, and Shi Shuhong is no exception. "
Shi Shuhong is a calm and calm person with a green heart. He wrote life with a red-hot heart and planted the shade of life. At the same time, he wrote passionately about his career and expounded his value as a young man. Shi Shuhong's calligraphy, like a person, is full of bones and muscles, full of pen and ink, flowing, surging waves between lines, soft and rigid, fascinating, which fully shows his bookish spirit, personality and cheerful and simple temperament. When I opened the Selected Works of Shi Shuhong's Calligraphy, an elegant and elegant atmosphere came to my face. He is always casual and natural when he is holding a pen and a tube and doing things on paper. The so-called "nothing to do." His works are bold and unconstrained, free from dogma, free and agile. Nave, Dou Fang, Fan, banners and other couplets written by him have various forms, elegant sentences, elegant pen and ink, quiet scenery and can be easily waved.
Passion is the flame in life, the hurricane in the soul and the nuclear energy in the blood. Shi Shuhong studied his favorite calligraphy with passion. Over the years, he devoted himself to exploration, practice and innovation, and worked hard at his desk. Shi Shuhong's running script is slightly like Wei Bei's brushwork, with vigorous brushwork, paper-killing at the center and a relaxed mood, showing an idyllic and wild interest. His calligraphy works are full of ingenuity and wisdom, such as Seeing the World with Eyes Open, with beautiful lines, smooth rhyme and thought-provoking content. The work "Liao Chengzhi to Jiang Jingguo" is not only precise and rigorous, but also magnificent. Every stroke, every word, every line and every article is in the natural statutes, which embodies rich internal qualities and introverted lines to reflect his aesthetic thoughts. This is Shi Shuhong's most natural and ingenious work. On the premise of unified overall style, this work emphasizes the subtle changes of the work and is full of elegance and joy. On the other hand, Shi Shuhong is sincere and treats others sincerely, and so is Yu Yi. Therefore, the artistic products on the edge of inkstone are simple and generous, not carved, simple and straightforward.
Art display responsibility
How do young people in the new era embody their values? He said: "The pursuit of art can be described in two words, and that is' absorption'. Because art comes from life, it is the sublimation of life, but it is higher than life. My artistic achievement lies in pursuing the art of painting and calligraphy celebrities, drawing artistic nourishment from them, and enriching and upgrading my artistic background. In addition, I think that as young people, we need to have a strong sense of social responsibility. "
For life outside of art, Shi Shuhong said this: "I can basically live, and all the proceeds from art are used for those poor people who need support. I sincerely hope that they can live a better life. For young people, I summed up two points: first, I don't care what you said, only what you really did; Second, it doesn't matter how much you ask, what matters is how much you pay. "
People who are familiar with him say that he has a business card with no words on him, and that is "kindness." His heart is always filled with this kind and beautiful melody, blowing people he knows or doesn't know with this kind warm wind. He spared no effort to help those in need, even when he was struggling to run his own newspaper and was short of funds.
1997, a catastrophic flood occurred in Hunan, which seized Shi Shuhong's heart. At that time, his monthly salary was only 300 yuan, and he had no savings, but he donated 2000 yuan to the disaster area through the flood control headquarters. 1998 In order to help out-of-school children, Shi Shuhong donated all his works to out-of-school children through the love auction of Hunan Economic TV Station. In 2002, Shi Shuhong donated 1 10,000 yuan from the auction of calligraphy works by Anhui Disabled Persons' Federation as a love fund to the local area. In 2003, it donated 1 0.5 million yuan for road construction in hometown and110,000 yuan for disaster-stricken areas in hometown. In 2006, he learned that children in his hometown could only study in ventilated school buildings because of poverty. Shi Shuhong took out only 20,000 yuan to build a school for his hometown, so that the children in his hometown had a warm place to study. In June of the same year, he sold his personal portfolio again and donated 654.38 million yuan to Yue Feng Middle School in Xinshao County, Hunan Province, a poor mountain school. At the end of last year, Hunan Province suddenly suffered a once-in-a-century ice disaster. On the eve of the Spring Festival, Shi Shuhong took out another 30,000 yuan to visit more than 30 poor residents in Zhongshan West Road community. On May 12 this year, in the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, Shi Shuhong organized a charity sale of famous paintings and calligraphy works in the whole province, earning more than 654.38+10,000 yuan, and took out 10000 yuan to participate in the reconstruction of the disaster area ... Since 1997, Shi Shuhong has been insisting on helping the poor, helping students and paving the way in different ways.
Shi Shuhong unconditionally dedicated everything he had to those in need, rejoiced in the lush grass, the blooming of a flower, rejoiced in the jumping of a fish and the flying of a bird, endured all the ups and downs, laughed, shed tears and worked together for them. Regarding Shi Shuhong's charity at that time, Tan Tan said with great emotion: "In today's materialistic and materialistic era, what we need is people who are practical and down-to-earth and play a role in promoting the construction of two civilizations in human society. People who can contribute to many people's lives are what the times need most. "
Art ignites passion.
As a torchbearer of the 2008 Olympic Games, Shi Shuhong is a thoughtful person. He explained a kind of spirit and strength with his own thoughts and actions, which is a unique artistic spirit and dedication, a persistent and steady pragmatic spirit, and a force to show the great unity of the Chinese nation. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity of the Olympic torch relay, he stood on the runway, ignited his passion, conveyed his dreams, and interacted with the public while running, making the onlookers shout "Come on, China!" In this way, you can improve yourself and add luster to your life.
Shi Shuhong is good at analyzing and observing social things. He said, "For the whole society, it doesn't matter how much you ask for, what matters is how much you pay, just trying to promote every step of society." China people's national feelings are very deep, so our party has always relied on the unity and strength of people of all ethnic groups to make the country cohesive. For example, in this year's Sichuan earthquake disaster, all people in China United and tried their best. Everyone who gives love to the people in the disaster area embodies their national spirit. "
Before Changsha established a civilized city, Shi Shuhong once said: "The civilization of an era lies not in how many tall buildings and comfortable luxury cars have been built in this era, but in what kind of people have been produced in this era." Later, Zhang Chunxian, secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, borrowed this sentence in an open letter: "The civilization of a city lies not in the number of tall buildings in the city, but in the gestures of everyone in the city."
In recent years, he has conducted in-depth research and successively written articles such as Problems and Countermeasures in Agricultural Investment, How to Break the shackles of selecting talents in exam-oriented education reform, How to further deepen reform, and How to actively and steadily promote all-round social progress. After the publication of Economic Reference, People's Daily Internal Reference and Talent Information. One of his works varies from person to person, which can better reflect his understanding of society and the social significance he brings as an ordinary citizen. Someone once commented on Shi Shuhong, "He is a man of great style and understanding of feelings." Mr. Bo Xian, a famous scholar, once wrote: "The book is also deep, and the words are also refined, and the words are also refined; Red is outside, loyalty is inside, and the results are remarkable. "
For more than ten years, he has sent his beautifully designed New Year cards to people he knows and people he doesn't know every year. These greeting cards condensed his feelings, and the short and pithy words from the heart played the purpose of heart-to-heart and true feelings.
On June 2 1 2008, Xie Shibin, director of the theoretical department of Hunan Daily, wrote to Shi Shuhong: "Dongmu wrote an article in mid-June, which took ten years of hard work. A kind heart is full of love, reflecting that Japanese calligraphers are different. "
Media coverage of Shi Shuhong's deeds
Shi Shuhong's grandfather, Mr. Shi Guoguang, has been teaching for over 40 years. 1985 was also rated as an excellent teacher in Hunan Province by the Hunan Provincial People's Government. At that time, because our ancestors had several acres of land, we could still save some surplus grain all the year round. He often takes out his own food and distributes it to local non-food households and parents of poor students, while he is willing to live a dull life, seek comfort with a broad mind, ask for nothing, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and enjoy life. His grandparents, brothers and sisters are all engaged in education and teaching, especially for his children. He always asks children to stand on their own feet, be a useful person and do more useful things for society. Shi Shuhong was influenced and infected in such an environment since childhood, and determined to be a useful person and learn from progressives.
As an Olympic torchbearer, Shi Shuhong was interpreted by CCTV announcer as a young artist full of vigor, love and social responsibility. Shi Shuhong's running posture on TV explains his warm heart. Repeatedly playing his lens will flash a literary and art worker's persistence and concentration on life and society.
On June 24th, Huang, the headmaster of middle school, accompanied by Xie Zhongzhong, secretary general of the Family Planning Association of Tanxi Town, and other town leaders, went to Changsha to accept the donation of100000 yuan from the famous painter Shi Shuhong. This time, the family planning association in the town is a microcosm of its enthusiasm for social welfare.
Yue Feng Middle School is a private high school, which is in the early stage of its establishment. There are not many books in the library, and the extracurricular life of teachers and students is similar.
When Tanxi Town Family Planning Association learned of this situation, it devoted itself to purchasing books for the library of Yue Feng Middle School to enrich the extracurricular life and knowledge of teachers and students. The association contacted the famous painter Shi Shuhong from Tanxi through various channels. Shi Shuhong has a noble character and is very concerned about the construction of his hometown. In 2002, he was awarded as a calligrapher of "Virtue and Art" in Hunan Province, and in 2003, he was awarded the China Meritorious Award for Foreign Cultural Exchange by the Ministry of Culture. In May this year, Shi Shuhong returned to her hometown to visit relatives. After learning the news, Xie immediately met with the relevant town leaders, reported the situation of the middle school to him in detail, and accompanied Shi Shuhong to visit the middle school. Shi Shuhong immediately stated that he must support Yue Feng Middle School. After many telephone conversations, Shi Shuhong decided to donate 65,438+10,000 yuan to Yue Feng Middle School at the launching ceremony of his new book Selected Calligraphy Works on June 24th.
After the donation, Huang, the principal of the middle school, held the hand of Xie Zhongzhong, the secretary-general of the association, and sincerely said, "Thank you very much for Shi Shuhong's generosity, and also thank you very much for the concern of the Tanxi Town Family Planning Association. Without your matchmaking, our school could not get such timely assistance. We must make good use of this book money, actively promote quality education and improve the quality of teaching in order to repay the concern and support of all sectors of society. "
