The man below, Cui, had his hand burned and deformed because of an accident. Only four fingers can move, but also rely on labor for a living, which is included by Founder in his own font.
Cui, born in 1962, is from Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province. His handwriting in primary school is very beautiful and will be passed on to the whole class by the teacher as an example. After being praised by the teacher, he began to practice calligraphy. But he didn't go to school until the third grade of primary school. This level of education can only make him earn money by farming and working.
His tricycle is out of gas. He took diesel oil out of the house to refuel, only to find that it was frozen. At this time, he was in a hurry to go out and made a wrong decision that ruined his life. He was lucky enough to heat the diesel bucket on the fire, but it exploded as soon as he put it on. The heat wave pushed him 3 meters away and he was surrounded by fire. After three months of rescue, Cui was still seriously injured and completely lost his labor force. Only the index finger and ring finger of his left hand and right hand can move slightly.
Cui's wife has rheumatism and can't do heavy work. She used to rely on Cui to support this family. Now both of them have no labor. Cui blames herself very much. If it weren't for her temporary confusion, the already difficult family wouldn't be even more difficult to survive.
However, even if Cui has no labor force, he still remembers that he is a man and should earn money to support his family. After thinking for a long time, he found that he was only good at writing. If it's ordinary, people won't buy it at first sight, so he created a special font and practiced it at home with only four fingers for ten years every day, for more than ten hours at a time.
In 2004, he thought it was time to go out and write to make money, but his handwriting was discovered by the whole country on 20 1 1. A netizen took a video of him writing on the streets of Yantai and posted it online. People who have seen his calligraphy say that his own handwriting is like a round doll, so they call his handwriting "doll body".
Not only netizens and passers-by appreciate him, but also Fangzheng font library came to seek cooperation. 20 1 1, Founder Font Library reached a cooperation with Cui, and Cui's fonts were included in Founder Font Library, named "Ren Xian Style" after him, and he became a million calligraphers from a roadside busker.
Because Founder Font Library will give him all the profits in 50 years after the font is listed, and give him 50,000 yuan in advance to improve his life. Some professionals estimate that the copyright fee of "Xian Ren Ti" after listing is at least 6.5438+0 million, and each word is worth about 2,000 yuan, which is really a word of gold.
Cui's life experience is a bit like Sima Qian's. Sima Qian once said: "People are inherently mortal, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." He lived in seclusion for 13 years and wrote historical records, which proved that his life was more important than Mount Tai. Cui also used his "benevolent image" to prove the importance of his life. Maybe his handwriting is decades or hundreds of years old.
