Why on earth do so many people think that Li Dinglong is a "freak, freak and savage." And then what?
1937, in order to attach importance to, protect and promote Dunhuang art, Li Dinglong risked his life and led a group of people 13 to travel across mountains and rivers to Dunhuang, a cold and barren place, to seek the true meaning of art. When they arrived at their destination, Li Dinglong was the only one, and the other eleven people were either unbearable, not determined or unfortunately arrested on the way. Accompanied by local Liu Fang, Li Dinglong creatively and miraculously copied a picture of Elysium with a height of two meters and a width of fifteen meters in less than a year. At that time, celebrities wrote inscriptions in succession. General Feng Yuxiang wrote "The Voice of the People", Yu Youren wrote "Elysium", Guo Moruo wrote "Ode to the Ancestral Country" and Li Liejun wrote "The Spring and Autumn Period".
1938, Li dinglong created the map of Genghis Khan's expedition, which was created for resisting Japan and saving the country. The whole painting is three meters high and thirty-five meters wide. During the period of 1939, this photo was taken all over the world by Huth, a British parliamentarian and head of the world trade union delegation. During the period, it aroused strong repercussions in various countries and places in Europe and Asia, and played a great role in promoting the war of resistance against Japan. At that time, overseas Chinese from all over the world wrote letters praising Li Dinglong's patriotic spirit and artistic achievements.
1939, in order to inspire the soldiers in the anti-Japanese war, Li Dinglong personally sketched at the front. In Hebei county, he drew a record map of the company commander of the Eighth Route Army and a map of Soviet planes attacking Japanese cavalry. At that time, there were few doctors and medicines on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. Li Dinglong, who had arrived in An at that time, immediately joined local enlightened gentlemen Jing Meijiu and Li Kuangsong to hold a fund-raising benefit performance for the soldiers of the river defense. All the income from the exhibition was used to buy medicine and sent to the front. Professor Li Dinglong has made outstanding contributions to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
1940, the Kuomintang bombed the Yellow River levee in Huayuankou, Henan Province, and the people were devastated. This is the greatest tragedy since ancient times. In view of the breach of the Yellow River, the 40-meter-long sketch of the Yellow River was finally completed. After this painting was exhibited in Xi 'an, it received a strong response and won the sympathy of patriots. To this end, Feng Yuxiang wrote a poem: "Japanese slaves invaded Henan, Japanese devils harmed us, and compatriots rose together to avenge the people." Guo Moruo wrote a poem saying: "The Japanese can kill if they invade China, and they can kill if they are sick." And so on, it had a great influence on all walks of life at that time. Later, when Sketch of Huang Pan was exhibited in Chongqing, Zuo Fu, then Minister of Water Resources of the Kuomintang Executive Yuan, thought it was very valuable, but demanded that it be immediately retrieved from the Ministry of Water Resources for preservation (actually, it was not allowed to be exhibited). After Li Dinglong got the news, he immediately returned to Xi 'an overnight with photos. Therefore, the Kuomintang government sent Zhang Ji, a member of the Central Committee, to talk to Li Dinglong, hoping that the Yellow Plate Map would no longer be exhibited. The Executive Yuan promised to spend 100,000 yuan to help the victims in the Yellow River flood area.
1944, when the mouth of the Yellow River was blocked, refugees returned home. Li Dinglong went to the floodplain of the Yellow River to sketch and paint the floodplain of the Yellow River for refugees to return home. In Fugou County, Henan Province, he met with Cleveland, the general manager of UN disaster relief, and Huo Baoshu, the general manager of China disaster relief, who were visiting and inspecting the flood-stricken areas. They think that the Yellow River beach painted by Li Dinglong is just what they need. At that time, Li Dinglong gave them disaster relief unconditionally.
1946, Li Dinglong cooperated with the famous painter Liu Haisu to complete two nave paintings, and calligrapher Ma congratulated them on their inscriptions.
1948, because the stubborn Li Dinglong refused to go abroad and was wanted by the Kuomintang, Li Dinglong fled to Jiangnan alone to draw the "25,000-mile long March map", and suffered all the way. One day, Li Dinglong lost his way in Luojiaru Mountain, Jishui County, Jiangxi Province, and spent the night in a big tree in a barren mountain. He insisted on justice, perseverance and commendable spirit.
1950, Li Dinglong finally published the country's first album, The Long March of 25,000 Li.
1950, Li Dinglong wrote founding ceremony, 40 meters long. Guo Moruo wrote a poem on this topic: "Ma Rulong is a great country at the foot of the mountain, and athletes from all over the world show their talents. Indeed, they are as good as brothers. " Hu Juewen's poem: "Looking back at the wind, the morning light is slightly exposed, and people are rushing to Wan Li, dancing to the sky. This long March is eternal." Title of Huang Yanpei: Shen Jun (then Vice Chairman of CPPCC) Title: Vivid writing, great writing. Read it carefully, and if you visit it in person, you will be greatly appreciated. Xu Beihong's title: "The ethnic minorities have their own magnificent postures." Yan (then president of the Soviet Academy of Fine Arts) wrote: "Mr. Li Dinglong's paintings seem to be more natural than Han Xuan's, and the Song Dynasty improved a lot."
1950, Li Dinglong and Xu Beihong collaborated on "Bamboo Plum Map", which was inscribed by Li Baosen, Tian Heng and Ye Shangzhi.
1954, Li Dinglong responded to the party's "Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend." Call, draw a "double hundred pictures", the whole picture is 40 meters long, inscribed by Hu Juewen, and then presented to the Soviet marshal Voroshirov's collection.
1977, Li Dinglong finally completed the restoration of all the murals of the "Hubafa Caotang" and made the outline of the Bafa Caotang inscribed by Hu Juewen.
1983, Li Dinglong repainted the 83m-long Double Hundred Pictures, which was inscribed by Wang Daohan (former mayor of Shanghai) and Su (former president of Fudan University) to show his congratulations.
1985, 80-year-old Li Dinglong went to the original Yellow River area again to draw a sketch of past lives in the Yellow River area. In the same year, in response to the party's call to realize the four modernizations, he drew a picture of the White Army.
1986, Japan's TBS TV station awarded Li Dinglong the "Best Handmade AwardNo. 1 in the World". When he won the biggest prize in such a big world, Li Dinglong was both excited and modest: "What is the boldest in the world? Art sea grows in Wan Li, and there is no end to learning. There is always spring, don't worry about sunrise and sunset. "
1987, Li Dinglong drew the Map of Bai Le with 100 paintings.

1998, the southern half of China suffered a devastating flood. The 94-year-old Li Dinglong was deeply concerned about the affected people and was moved by the millions of soldiers and civilians who fought floods and provided relief. He just struggled to create a 30-meter-long scroll "War Flood Map" on his deathbed.
From 65438 to 0999, Li Dinglong died silently because of old age and fatigue. However, the 2000-meter-long map of world peace he drew for the United Nations was unfortunately not fully exhibited in his lifetime.
The longest and most complete 2000-meter-long map of world peace in the world is not only the pride of China, but also the pride of the United Nations in the world.
