Yu Zhiyuan and Miyamoto Peng of Miyamoto Peng.
I remember that when Sophora japonica was in full bloom in 2000, at the pen meeting of Dalian Painting and Calligraphy Garden, many city leaders, businessmen, collectors, journalists, TV station staff, ordinary people, salespeople, service personnel and painting and calligraphy lovers crowded the sales hall on the second floor of Dalian Friendship Square Sister Building Painting and Calligraphy Garden. One of the most striking is Professor Yu Zhiyuan, a famous scholar, calligrapher and educator. At this time, he is talking with the older generation of painters such as Tang Yuqing. (At that time, Gong Benpeng was studying in Dalian Normal School, and he had already seen Lao He's works in the conference room of the school. At that time, Mr. Lei Zhen from the Art Group talked about the tortuous experience of Professor Yu Zhiyuan, 19 years old, who became a calligrapher from Wendeng, Shandong Province to Dalian. Teacher Lei Zhen and Yu Lao met and became lifelong friends. In the same dormitory, I can clearly remember the progress of * * *. At that time, Yu Lao was particularly good at ancient Chinese prose. He can recite it quickly as long as he reads it once or twice. He doesn't need to bring a book in Chinese class, but only turns over a piece of chalk in his hand. The students were fascinated by it. They hang their calligraphy exercises on the wall every day, and many original ideas are reminded by teacher Lei Zhen. Because of teacher Lei's glaucoma, his old professors in the Chinese Department of Dalian Normal University have already talked with their old colleagues, all of whom are Miyamoto's teachers. Whenever they see him eager to learn in Chinese class, they mention his persistence in learning and sincerity to his friends, which greatly inspires him. This is why he has been a friend of Miyamoto since he was old. ) I heard Lei Zhen mention Miyamoto a long time ago and have an impression on him. He bravely walked up to the old man and talked with him about calligraphy and Zhuanghe, his hometown. He asked him to write a few words for him to see, and he said happily, "Little prick, talent is ok, and diligence can make up for it ..." Then, at one go, I wrote a picture of "being proficient in diligence", which was collected by him, and Yu Lao gave me his business card. Yu Lao doesn't have a mobile phone or a pager, only his home phone number. I used to look at my watch. Later, Gong Benpeng and Yu Lao asked for advice and study several times. In 2002, I graduated and was assigned to teach at Dayutun Primary School in Heidao Town, Zhuanghe. In 2003, Professor Yu Zhiyuan left us in a hurry. When I learned the news of Yu Lao's departure from the phone, Miyamoto, who was far away in Zhuanghe, was extremely sad. His voice and smile, his learned and elegant demeanor and upright character emerge in front of Miyamoto from time to time.
