Fan Hua's Social Evaluation

Indifferent life, tireless and leisurely life —— Interview with calligrapher Fan Hua

I heard that Mr Fan Hua is a famous calligrapher, but I have never met him. Knowing Mr. Fan Hua began with his collection of essays "Nothing". More than a month ago, when the reporter was preparing a special report on "Mo Xiang Li Qinghai Guan Hai Volume", he learned that Mr. Fan Hua had an article about Mr. Guan Hai, so he called to pick it up one day. Because of going out for an interview, the reporter entrusted a colleague to do it for him. Colleagues came back and gave the reporter a collection of essays entitled "Nothing", which was presented by Mr. Fan Hua. They were very happy. After reading a few pages, I was moved by simple language and sincere feelings. In a short time, the reporter read all the articles. Between the lines, I read the image of a northwest man who loves life and is honest and open-minded. 1October 28th 10, the reporter interviewed him. From 65438 to 0950, Mr Fan Hua was born in a peasant family in Lintao County, Gansu Province. Although his parents don't know many words, he writes very well. At that time, copybooks were hard to see, but President Mao Zedong's ink prints were everywhere, and the gorgeous cursive script fascinated him and inspired his interest in learning calligraphy. Mr. Fan Hua recalled: "The' hair body' at that time was very similar." 1969, at the prime of his life, he began his 22-year military career and formed an indissoluble bond with Qinghai. After arriving in the army, Fan Hua soon found a new way to practice calligraphy, that is, doing blackboard newspaper, wall newspaper and making slides. 1979 is of epoch-making significance to Fan Hua's calligraphy research. At that time, the first calligraphy class in Xining was held. He signed up without hesitation and became the first batch of students. Under the guidance of famous calligraphers Li and Wang Yun, he began to study calligraphy systematically. 199 1 year, Mr. Fan Hua was transferred to another place and worked as the editor of Qinghai Finance in China People's Bank. After leaving the army, Mr. Fan Hua's social activities have increased day by day, and he has made many mentors and friends in calligraphy and painting, and his enthusiasm for calligraphy creation has become stronger. Inspiration came. Even in the middle of the night, I often get up and write on my desk. I often improvise after having a good time with my friends and feeling slightly drunk. I love the art of calligraphy. In 1994, Mr. Fan Hua successfully held a solo calligraphy exhibition. In his opening speech, Mr. Li praised Fan Huawei as "a new star in Qinghai calligraphy". In 2003, Mr Fan Hua published the first collection of calligraphy works. In 2006, Mr Fan Hua's calligraphy collection was published. The collection of calligraphy works with self-written content is the first time in Qinghai, and it is extremely rare in the whole country. Starting from Painting with One Heart, Mr. Fan Hua talked more about his understanding of calligraphy: "Calligraphy is writing at first, but to a certain extent, it is writing yourself. Calligraphy, like other arts, embodies the cultivation and temperament of the creator. Expression is not limited to the text itself, but the content is also a very important carrier. In the famous inscriptions of past dynasties, whether Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, Su Dongpo's Cold Food Sticker or Yan Zhenqing's Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephew, the contents were all written by calligraphers themselves, which incorporated the feelings and language of the creators, and thus gained great fame. Creation is the natural flow of the author's mood, and calligraphy creation is the catharsis of what calligraphers have learned through pen and ink. " "Words are paintings of the heart, and words are from the heart". All the works included in "Painting with One Heart", whether used to warn and urge yourself or warning poems sent to relatives and friends, have poured into Mr. Fan Hua's true feelings. For example, he wrote an inscription on the calligraphy works presented to Mr. Hu Anliang: Mr. Hu Anliang is an influential linguist and postgraduate tutor in China and has published many works. But he is humble, approachable, humorous and admirable. A few days ago, I got Mr. Hu's new book "Cold Ice Record of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi", so I gave him a rude remark: "Reading Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi makes me feel at ease. Years are sweet when you meet a mentor. " For example, he wrote an inscription for his calligraphy works: It is a fate to get along with people in life and work, but it is not easy to get along well. In order to spur myself, I pieced together this sentence: "Be tolerant of others and be kind to yourself. Laugh at life and see Si Qi. " For example, he wrote an inscription on a painting for his comrades: I have a question. Some people ask me for words, but they are always in no mood to satisfy them. But some people didn't ask me for words, but I took the initiative to write to him, "You live in the sea and I live in the source. Friendship is heavy and there are greetings from time to time. " I took the initiative to send this word to my comrade Cui Kuanmin. In an article, Mr. Shi Jing, a famous writer in our province, once commented that when we open a heart painting, we will not only appreciate the dripping ink, dignified and elegant lines and rigorous and steady structure of Mr. Fan Hua's calligraphy works, but also listen to his "voice", and then understand his personality and attitude towards life. During the interview, the reporter found Mr. Fan Hua's personality very interesting. He never used a mobile phone except that he didn't want to write and spoke on his own initiative. Family members buy mobile phones, don't; A friend gives a mobile phone, but he doesn't want it. Asked why, he replied with a smile: "Don't bring your mobile phone and avoid socializing. Many times, unnecessary appearances and dinners will only waste time. Now I fully feel the fun of not having a mobile phone. " For the days after retirement, he has strong expectations: "After retirement, time will be entirely his own, and he will have more time to do what he likes. Unlike now, I am often in the office when I have creative inspiration, which is very distressing. " Although Mr. Fan Hua kept a low profile, his pursuit of perfection in calligraphy reached a harsh level: on several occasions, when someone asked for a word, he wrote it down and sent it out. Suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with the word in typesetting or some rules, and he couldn't sleep until he was satisfied with the paper. He delivered it himself and changed his job. There are too many stories. During the interview, the reporter noticed that on Mr. Fan Hua's desk, there was a self-made paper triangle enlightenment card, which read "All rivers run into the sea, be kind to others and be calm". "This is my motto, through which I always remind myself," said Mr. Fan Hua. At the end of the article, let's end with a few words summed up by Mr. Fan Hua: "Indifferent and tireless, write life calmly and freely, express your thoughts with pen and ink, and be upright and noble."
