Dong Quanfu, who was born in a military family, loved writing and drawing when he was young. When he was 11 years old, his family saw that Dong Quanfu had a talent for colors and sent him to Beijing to study painting. During the winter and summer vacations of three years, he traveled between Qingdao and Beijing. Dong Quanfu was lucky. With the help of his teacher, his calligraphy and painting skills improved significantly.
Dong Quanfu always wanted to take painting as a hobby to cultivate his sentiments, but he happened to be admitted to the Oil Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts. In 1988, Dong Quanfu came to Shenzhen. The cultural and artistic atmosphere of this emerging city made him pick up the brush he had put aside for many years.
November 18, 2005, was a black day in Dong Quanfu’s life. He saw his friends off as usual, but unfortunately he experienced a catastrophe in his life. He fell from the elevator shaft on the 8th floor, 32 meters above the ground, causing 18 fractures all over his body and severe damage to his internal organs. After more than 10 days of emergency treatment in the intensive care unit, he miraculously survived. Due to severe physical damage, he underwent more than 10 major and minor surgeries. Under the care of his family and friends, he was bedridden for two years.
Those two years were painful. Even if he wanted to commit suicide, he didn't have the ability. Dong Quanfu, who survived the disaster, cherished his life very much and started to write ink again. It seemed that this disaster made him love the things he once loved even more - he moved from Shekou to Wutong Mountain, practiced calligraphy, painting and ink in seclusion. I write freely and enjoy myself, especially the freehand freehand works, which are full of vigorous vitality. At the same time, I completed the study of Han bamboo slips for 8 years and fixed the Zheng, Cao, Li and Zhuan scripts as Xingli. Chinese calligraphy has opened up a new path based on the creativity of cursive script. It is precisely because of this different style and unique artistic conception that he is well known by friends in the calligraphy and painting circles, and his works have been collected one after another.
