In the early 1980s, due to the reorganization of the army, we were all reassigned to the Yantai Military Division. Just returned to Yantai, working as an instructor in the company, and my work is busy. We seldom have time to get together. I remember that Brother Guofeng lived in a small three-bedroom room in the activity center of nanshan park veteran cadres. I once went to see him. The small wing is very crowded, with books and sundries piled everywhere. His paintings and calligraphy are hung on the wall. At first glance, Brother Guofeng has good intentions in his artistic pursuit. His "quiet" is obvious.
In the mid-1980s, we both transferred from the army to the local government. Coincidentally, among all our comrades-in-arms, only two of us were organized to work in the propaganda and culture department. He works in Yantai Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and I work in Yantai Cultural Bureau. Propaganda and cultural work is an old job for Guo Feng, but it has encountered "new problems" for me. From then on, I will learn from him with an open mind, often ask for advice at home and report to him when I encounter difficulties. Remember 1988, the Cultural Bureau wants to write a part of the health rotation duty card. At this time, I immediately thought of the great calligrapher Guo Feng's brother. When I get the card ready, ask him to write it down. He immediately came to the Cultural Bureau with a pen and red paint, and wanted to write quickly. After writing, I prepared several slogans about hygiene for him to write directly in the bathroom. He wrote it without hesitation. After writing, he suddenly reacted. He said, "Brother Sun, is it inappropriate for calligraphers to inscribe in the bathroom?" I said, "Well, let's do what our predecessors have not done!" " "We both laughed happily.
I have a hobby, and I am good at collecting some popular science knowledge, especially small tofu such as health care. After dinner, I often bring them here to have a look and increase their knowledge. Because of the long time span and rich information, I didn't expect this to become my small advantage unconsciously. Once, I invited Brother Guofeng to my home and reported my thoughts to him. I said, "Look at my collection." After reading it, he was greatly surprised. I didn't expect that I had put so much effort into it. He said: "These materials are very precious. It is absolutely no problem to sort out the book. " When he supported me, I had courage. Soon, a "Grand View of Contemporary Self-diagnosis and Treatment" published by Shandong Science and Technology Publishing House was widely circulated and applauded in the society, and I also became a socially recognized popular science writer. After the publication of this book, a large number of reports from Shandong TV Station, Yantai TV Station, Yantai Daily and other news media made my reputation constantly improve, so Brother Guofeng wrote Shennong Taste a Hundred Herbs for me. In fact, when Brother Guofeng doesn't encourage me, where can I expect to publish a book?
In August of the year before last, the child went through the formalities of studying in Canada. Before leaving, I would like to ask Brother Guofeng, a great calligrapher, to send my children a few words. When I explained the situation, Brother Guo Feng immediately picked up a pen and wrote the eight characters "cross the rubicon, last try" for my children, thus encouraging them to stay away from the motherland and work hard. I was going to draw a "health map", and the content was basically ready, but I still couldn't make up my mind about the drawing of the pattern. At this time, I remembered brother Guo Feng again. When I gave him information, he held the map again and again. This "health map" was named "Baoguang Health Map" and was authorized by the national patent. This is the first time that China has used a map to show medical care. Therefore, it is predicted that the market potential of this map is huge, and the success of this map is indispensable. In a word, Brother Guofeng has been immersed in art and lived in seclusion for decades. Since the full implementation of the socialist market economy in China, how many intellectuals can't stand loneliness and poverty? Some left their jobs and found official positions, and some went to the sea to find millions, and no longer tasted the hardships of climbing grids. The article is as rich as a cloud through the ages. Brother Guofeng's persistence and pursuit of culture is obvious to all. Now Guo Feng, the third grandson of Yue Fei, his calligraphy works are neat, beautiful official script, dignified and elegant regular script, chic and lively running script and strange cursive script. Coupled with the artistic conception given by the pen and layout, his calligraphy works have become unique one by one.
In short, there are too many things worthy of nostalgia and memories in my decades of contacts with brother Guofeng. Whenever I think of this past, it's like pulling the time back to decades ago. It is really lamenting the passage of time, shocking the vicissitudes of life, touching my heart, and the past is like smoke.
