Special recommendation: Hua Zi, a persistent and accomplished painter.

Huazi, the stage name of Xu Jianhua, is a senior painter of Jiangnan Painting Academy, the president of the brand branch of Wuxi Brand Society, a senior teacher of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, and the president of Wuxi Jihua Painting and Calligraphy Institute.

we met in the early 199s. At that time, I set up a factory in the village to run supply and marketing. One day, I followed the truck to Wuxi Bosiwei for delivery. Because there was a quality problem with the parts, I went to the quality inspection department to find them to deal with. The head of the quality inspection department is Hanako. Who knows that when he saw me, he looked unhappy and immediately picked up the phone and called my boss. He said, "What's the matter with you? The parts are out of order again, and the delivery people are new faces." Put the phone down, he said to me, you drag the goods back.

it's my first time to deliver goods in Wuxi boxiwei. if I return the goods, my boss will certainly look unhappy. It suddenly occurred to me that there was a book "Qingqing Neem Fruit" in my carry-on bag, so I handed it to him and said, "This is my book."

Hanako took the book, looked at me stupefied and said, "Did you write this book?"

he is skeptical.

I said, "You have my picture in the book."

He picked up the book and read it carefully. Then he stared at my face and said, "Ah, you are a writer. How can your boss ask a writer to deliver the goods? This is overqualified." After that, he called my boss again: "You asked the writer to deliver the goods. This is overqualified. For the sake of the writer, I will accept this car today."

Later, I learned that Hanako is a painter. He is arrogant in the company, and the young people in the quality inspection department know my relationship with him, so they all gave me the green light all the way.

Later, he retired.

later, I went into the sea myself.

But we still keep in touch.

Three years ago, my son got married. I didn't send him an invitation. I don't know where he got it. He and his wife both came to the wedding party with red envelopes, which moved me to tears.

Hanako is such a sincere person. Newspaper:

So, Hanako is a persistent and tireless painter.

The day before yesterday, I went to visit him in his studio in Yinxiu Road, Wuxi, and found him tutoring three children in writing and painting.

He told me that he was taking care of students. There was a batch in the morning and another batch in the afternoon.

I said, "You can do it. Even after retirement, painters can help their children paint and make money."

Hanako said, "I charge a nominal fee, mainly to cultivate some children to love painting."

I said, "Is this studio rented?"

Hanako said, "I bought it ten years ago. If I didn't have a studio, I would have to rent a house. Now I don't want rent, so the fee can be lower."

Hanako was very happy to see my visit. He introduced me to the children's mothers, saying that I am a writer with many books, an entrepreneur and a celebrity. I corrected him from time to time. I am just an ordinary author, not a celebrity, but maybe a little famous in Suzhou.

that day, he showed me a lot of paintings. He said, "My life savings are all here, all paintings and characters." Yes, I saw that there were paintings inside and outside the studio wall, and there were many masterpieces. He took out a "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" and asked me, "Guess how much this word costs?"

I said I don't know.

Hanako said, "At least 3, yuan."

I know that "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" is one of the important Mahayana Buddhist classics, and it is often sung by Buddhist monks who become monks and stay at home.

Hua Zi said, "This scroll is very long. It should have been written by the painter in the middle of the night. Make sure that it is verbatim. If you make a mistake, the whole scroll will be scrapped."

He gave me a porcelain teacup and a porcelain basin with his paintings on them. He talked about porcelain. He said that many people like these handicrafts, and they are easy to preserve and pass down from generation to generation. Works of art like this are more precious over time. For example, like some old painters, their works didn't cost a few dollars at that time, but now they don't need one piece for hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars. This is "celebrity calligraphy and painting".

He said that he can't be a "celebrity painter", but he wants to be a person who tries to promote painting culture. Therefore, he set up a painting and calligraphy institute, so that a group of middle-aged and old painters gathered under his door, which could ensure that his works would come out continuously.

In the past two years, Hanako and Jiangsu Rongben Culture Communication Co., Ltd. have joined hands and combined traditional art with Buddhist culture to create a large number of fine paintings.

The afternoon before yesterday, Hanako took me to Guangfu Temple in Yuantouzhu, Wuxi. There I met Lu Zong and his wife of Rongben Company and several old painters. It turns out that some works of Hanako and his team of artists were collected and exhibited by Guangfu Temple.

Hanako told me that this is the center of creation and activities in the future, and this is a blessed land. With this treasure, I will carry forward the art of painting.

I took a group photo with Hanako and Manager Lu in Guangfu Temple. The photo background "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra" is written by the old gentleman on my right (from left to right, Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu, a charity boss, and Hanako on my left).

In writing this article, I have been moved by Hanako's spirit. He is almost seventy, and he still loves art so much, works so hard, and refuses to accept the veteran. This spirit is called forgetting to eat and sleep. I think his handwriting is getting better and better now. I find out that he is the first person to copy Wang Xizhi in Wuxi. Thank him for sending me a copy of Wang Xizhi's handwriting, which is said to be worth 3, yuan. Ha, I made a profit this time in Wuxi!
