Hawking, a famous physicist, is a frozen man. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He can't talk, only two fingers can move Wang Yuting, a folk painter in China, is also suffering from gradual freezing. Like Hawking, she was not crushed by life.
Wang Yuting, 1978, was born in Huabu Town, Kaihua County, Zhejiang Province. Her mother and father are both artists in the town theatre, and she has the skill of painting. Wang Yuting had a happy childhood, but when she was in the third grade of primary school, she unfortunately fell down and her legs felt very weak for the first time.
It is common for children to fall down, and Wang Yuting doesn't care. However, with the passage of time, it became very difficult for her to walk at the age of 13. Her mother went to the hospital behind her back, and she was diagnosed with "gradual freezing" and could not be cured. According to her illness, the doctor diagnosed that she might not survive 18.
This bolt from the blue hit this ordinary family. My mother didn't want to believe it. She massaged her daughter every day, and Wang Yuting, who was getting worse, lost hope for life. But her mother's indomitable spirit deeply touched her, and Wang Yuting became strong. She found her purpose in life and devoted herself to painting.
Both parents are painters and teach her every day. With meticulous care, they broke the nightmare of 18 years old. Wang Yuting had a 18 "healthy" birthday, but the tragedy of life is still destroying this family. In 2002, Wang Yuting's father died unexpectedly, and the burden of the whole family fell on his mother.
The house is empty without people, but it will always clear up after the rain. In our life, a man appeared, and he was the young painter Jin. After learning the story of Wang Yuting, he decided to take her as an apprentice. At this time, Wang Yuting has lost a lot of mobility, and the range of activities of his hands does not exceed 10cm. It takes many years to draw a picture by hand like this.
A line of 10 cm can be drawn by ordinary people in less than one second, and Wang Yuting needs 1 minute. For a painting that an ordinary artist can finish in one day, Wang Yuting needs to paint seven vanishes every day, which takes three months to finish, that is, 630 hours.
Wang Yuting didn't give up, nor did her mother fall. It is said that a sweat is a harvest. Wang Yuting spent 30 years of sweat, and finally got the harvest. In 2004, with the help of the Provincial Disabled Welfare Foundation, the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Zhejiang Painting Academy and the Provincial Group Art Museum, Wang Yuting and another disabled female painter, Chen Hong, held a joint exhibition of Wang Yuting and Chen Hong's works.
Wang Yuting's "Peach Blossom in Spring" won the special prize in the 4th Zhejiang Handicapped Calligraphy, Fine Arts and Photography Exhibition, and she also founded "The Collection of Wang Yuting's Works". As a folk artist, Wang Yuting is naturally inferior to those masters. Since the publication of these works, some experts have also commented: "No soul".
But these "soulless" paintings have been painted with "soul" for decades. The soul of a painting is not the sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars, but the story behind it. In 20 12, Wang Yuting auctioned all 26 paintings in seven years, and raised 376,000 yuan, all of which were donated to poor college students. She said she had no chance.
