I have known Honghai’s name for many years, but I have only known Honghai’s people in recent years. The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. He knows the ups and downs of what he has achieved today. Tianjin Wuqing is home to outstanding people, masters of calligraphy and painting, artistic celebrities, drama rookies, experts and scholars, and is famous at home and abroad as "every family holds the jade from Jingshan Mountain, and everyone holds the Pearl of the Spiritual Snake". Li Honghai, who was born here, received the fertile soil of Wuqing, the nourishment of the canal, and the influence of famous artists. He loved calligraphy and seal cutting since he was a child. He studied tablets and stickers every day, laying a solid foundation and paving the way to success. Later he joined the army, using blackboard newspapers as a platform and copying files as an opportunity, his calligraphy talent first emerged, and he was transferred to the government agency to specialize in writing work. At this time, Li Honghai was like a fish in water or a dragon in the sea, and his talents were fully displayed. However, the person who really made great progress in his calligraphy was the famous calligraphy master Mr. Qi Gong. In the early 1970s, Hong Hai was fortunate enough to be taught by Mr. Qi Gong, and learned his true teachings. The lamp was lit and the road was pointed out. Later, he promoted the kung fu of "Zhang Zhi Lin Chi", "Zhong Yao Entering the Mountain", and "Zhi Yong Climbing the Tower". Practice diligently, study carefully, and mature day by day. He has emerged since the 1980s and has been published in domestic and foreign newspapers. He has won more than a hundred calligraphy competitions and held solo exhibitions. His works have been included in many special collections. In the early 1990s, he was listed as a world famous calligrapher and painter, and his reputation spread far and wide. His calligraphy and painting works were not only designated by the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China as gifts for state leaders to give to foreign heads of state, but were also collected by cultural institutions and individuals at home and abroad. They were also hung in many foreign reception venues of countries and armies. , "Cultural Envoy" and many other titles came into being. Mr. Qi Gong praised his artistic achievements in his handwriting: "Dancing cranes in the sky, flocks of crocodiles playing in the sea, these are the words of the sages who discussed calligraphy in the past. Now looking at Comrade Li Honghai's pen, it seems to be in such a state. I know that these words are not a boast!" This is the essence of the discussion. He who knows his students is a master.
Comrade Hong Hai not only has vigorous calligraphy and vigorous style, but also is open-minded, warm-hearted, open-minded, not arrogant, more bookish, and full of magnanimity. Today, the calligraphy and painting market is booming, and a painting is hard to find. But Li Honghai was indifferent to fame and fortune and faced it calmly. Whether he is a general or a soldier, whether he is a manager or a working-class person, whether he is a luxury hotel or a street shop, he accepts everyone who comes and responds to requests, he does his best, he is serious, and he never deals with things casually or graffiti. The reputation of "Looking for Hong Hai" has spread widely in Beijing. In this regard, Li Honghai said: "A calligrapher can only call himself home if he writes for the public, and he can call himself a master only if he writes for the public." He also said: "Culture is booming and calligraphy has entered thousands of homes. Calligraphers have a duty and a boundless duty."
The book is like the person, and the book is the painting of the heart. This is Li Honghai.
