When he was less than ten years old, he copied Wu Youru's paintings every afternoon. Since then, he has formed an indissoluble bond with painting. In the countryside, painting can't make a living. When his father was alive, he made a living by selling paintings. Then there was a flood, and his father fell ill and died. In order to support his family, Xu Beihong went to Shanghai alone and looked for a job everywhere. Because of his youth, Xu Beihong's paintings have been recognized, but they have not been employed by Fudan University in Shanghai.
Later, he planned to apply for a job in Shanghai Commercial Press. At first, the managers agreed to draw illustrations for him. As a result, he was rejected again because some people didn't like his paintings. When Xu Beihong was young, the road to painting was very difficult.
Xu Beihong had a hard life when he was young, which is why he worked very hard when he went to study in France. At the same time, in Xu Beihong's story, painting the road to job hunting is also the embodiment of his spirit, perseverance, hard work and perseverance.

A good painting is a work of art and a kind of enjoyment. We live like a walking corpse, inseparable from the sublimation of spirit, and art is only a manifestation and sublimation of human beings. Xu Beihong was born for this purpose, and he focused on awakening people's cognition of beauty. The different shapes of horses he painted made us fall in love with horses and let us know more about them. It turns out that every animal in this area has such an interest. This wonderful enjoyment was brought to us by Xu Beihong.
His love for painting is selfless and has trained a large number of talents for the country. He is both a teacher and a friend. He pays attention to teaching others as well as discovering their strengths. He never cared that the talents he found might surpass him. This is a kind of cultivation. Many people's painting level may not be lower than his, but not as good as others.
Xu Beihong's achievement lies in his spirit. He lived for painting all his life, lived beyond himself, lived without regrets and did what he wanted to do. He collected more than 1200 famous paintings of Ming and Qing dynasties, all of which were bought with his painstakingly painted paintings. He regards paintings as a kind of soul and will collect these famous paintings even if he is short of money. After his death, his wife donated all his collections and paintings to the country. From his wife, we seem to see the shadow of Xu Beihong who has passed away. She guarded him for a century and lived for Xu Beihong all her life.

Xu Beihong's photo
Speaking of Xu Beihong's character, many people respect him because he is really a gentleman's journey. He is not only a painter, but also a mentor on the road of life.
When Xu Beihong was young, life was very difficult, and he often couldn't even eat, because his father was also a painting and calligraphy lover. But because her father is not very famous, his paintings and calligraphy can't sell much money, so Xu Beihong studied painting and poetry with his father since childhood. When I was seventeen or eighteen, calligraphy and painting were already very good, so I asked him to teach students calligraphy and painting. Four years later, he was admitted to Fudan University, where he worked part-time, hoping to relieve some pressure for his father. After studying at Fudan University for one year, he embarked on the road of painting. He taught himself sketching and went to Japan to study abroad. After that, I learned all kinds of painting knowledge from various countries. After returning to China, he served as the department of fine arts or the head of the department of fine arts in several schools, bringing out many outstanding students. It seems that Mr. Xu Beihong is still a very patriotic person.
Besides being very patriotic, he is also a man of great backbone. When he was young, he was laughed at because he couldn't wear silk. Another story is that someone burned the only piece of silk his mother gave him, and he vowed never to wear silk clothes again. Sure enough, Xu Beihong never wore silk clothes again after that. Judging from the above points, Xu Beihong is really a very manly person.
