And my curiosity about Lao Yang's head, like the weeds in spring, is very gratifying and disturbing. After my long-term efforts and unremitting deep excavation, I finally learned some of his past in his mouth.
Lao Yangtou is not an art teacher, he is a demobilized cadre. He used to be the political commissar of the speedboat detachment of the South China Sea Fleet. It is stationed on Yongxing Island in Xisha Islands. From his mouth, we know that Yongxing Island is the largest island in Xisha Islands and the hub connecting Nansha and Zhongsha in Xisha Islands. Many years ago, there was a big pier more than 400 meters long with fresh water. Now the building is better.
One year, when he was still on the island, he also took part in the national defense war. There is an unnamed island near Yongxing Island. How small is it? The old sheep head said: Walk ten times in ten minutes. Is it possible to be coveted and robbed by neighboring countries?
"Let me China, although far in the past! Don't say it's still at our door, it will be packed in two minutes. " As he spoke, he was lost in thought, as if he had gone back to the past: talking and laughing, he was lost in the ashes …
He originally wanted to stay in the army all his life, but because his wife and little daughter were extremely uncomfortable with the climate in the south, he had to change jobs and return to his hometown. I left the army after working for 24 years.
Painting is a hobby that he has never left since he was a child. I remember he said: the basis of painting is love!
Every time I think of this sentence, I despise myself. I definitely don't love enough! Once again, I praised Big Fat from the bottom of my heart, and her persistence proved herself.
He said that when I was young, there were many children at home. Although I am the youngest, I can only ensure that I am full. Learning art is a luxury, even if his parents are partial to him, it is impossible to spend that money. Fortunately, there was a free painting class (mainly western painting) in the Children's Palace, and the whole city enrolled students. He was admitted, and another classmate in the class was actually his art teacher! hahaha ......
I passed the exam, but what about buying paper, paint and so on?
He usually goes to school by car, so he can walk, which can save money. Sometimes anyone who gives pocket money will save it. But it's not enough. What should I do? Don't say he really found a good way to make money!
There is a big timber factory behind the railway station, and people push carts to deliver goods to other places every day. He helps people deliver goods, move houses, load goods, and send them from the timber factory to Tiger Beach. He can pay 50 cents at a time. (I immediately summed up the itinerary in my mind: the round trip for this delivery is 12, 3 kilometers. He said it was a huge sum of money. ...
But how can I hear it so touching and so sad!
Then how did he become an art teacher? Keep digging ...
After graduating from high school, he was admitted to the Naval Engineering College (today's Maritime Engineering University) and was assigned to the South China Sea Fleet after graduation. One year, their company needed to erect a portrait of a giant at the gate. He said that this was a political task at that time, and time was pressing and it was of great significance. No one in the propaganda department dared to answer, and he didn't think too much, just wanted to contribute to the company. This is because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. It's scary to think about it now. What if the painting is not good?
Fortunately, he is very lucky. As it happens, he has been learning oil painting and put what he has learned into practice. The cannon was loud, and the superior leader came down to inspect it, thinking that his paintings were vivid and vivid, and specially praised him.
Later, he was seconded to paint portraits of great men. It won't be like that after a long time. No, he must talk to the leader. He said that his professional skills should be ... The leader said: Comrade, although the division of labor is different, it is all for national construction. You should feel at ease to complete the task assigned to you by your superiors!
So he went from technical mouth to propaganda mouth. Until he was transferred to a local refractory factory as technical director and retired. He said that his major is now, and the university didn't waste time.
After a class, we asked about his past with the painting and calligraphy class. He happily recalled that he retired at that time and still had a little time. It happened that an old comrade who knew me said, Hey, Lao Yang, don't you like painting? There are painting and calligraphy classes in the district library. Will you attend?
Of course he wanted to attend, so he went. It is said to be a painting and calligraphy class. At that time, there were only calligraphy teachers. Teachers are hard to find because they are free of charge. Since he studied here, he began to learn calligraphy from his teacher.
After a while, maybe a year or two, the calligraphy teacher won't come either. This class faces dissolution. But the students in the class are not reconciled. After finding the district library, the library leader put forward after careful consideration: if you find it in the library, everyone will start looking for a teacher.
If you can find a teacher, either this one is not good or that one is not suitable. Seeing that everyone was eager to learn, Lao Yang volunteered again.
He said that he studied oil painting, but everyone likes Chinese painting. So he invited the leaders in charge of the museum and the leaders in charge of this part of the work in the district, and specially drew a Chinese painting class for them, if possible. Look at it, everyone. Not bad! In this way, he took office and began his teaching career.
"Time flies, fourteen years, the classroom in three places. Many old comrades have come and gone ... "He muttered.
