Li Hongqi, born in Zouping, Shandong Province on January 13th, 1976, was named Red Flag because his parents always wanted him to be a useful person to the country and society. However, Li Hongqi's growth seems to be a self-improving personal history. He has not experienced a magical turning point of fate, but he has also gone smoothly. He is a rock singer, painter, writer and film director. He is changing various identities and making a folk gesture.
In 1995, Li Hongqi graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Education College in Binzhou, Shandong Province, and then went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing for further study. In 1995, Beijing was the time when various ideas were revived and sprouted. He formed a rock band and became the lead singer. He has a song called "For a while", which is officially included in a collection published by Modern Sky Records, and other works can't be tested. In 1999, he graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and began to write poems. Until now, he is also a poet.
2 was also the most lively time of China's online poetry. Li Hongqi joined in with his own talent and met many people. In his own words, "He used the internet to do a lot of unreliable things." At the same time, he also published novels in Lotus, People's Literature, Shanghai Literature, Everyone, etc. His short stories have unique gloomy, sad and unfamiliar wisdom, which has been widely praised by the circle. His first novel, Lucky Man, was written in 22 ~ 23. It tells the story of a group of young artists thinking about life, and it is a simple work that makes people feel full of beliefs and moving hearts of that year. After writing this novel, he quit his job and devoted himself to writing at home. In 23, he wrote "I feel full of inexhaustible energy". In 25, Li Hongqi borrowed 1, yuan to make a DV movie "Lots of Rice".
Li Hongqi didn't deliberately arrange such an experience as studying oil painting, being a band, writing poetry, writing novels and making movies. He did whatever he could. Every age group will meet some people who have influence on themselves. But in retrospect, it is somewhat unworthy. He doesn't like others to attribute himself to the post-7s writers, because he thinks that every writer in the 197s is different, and there is no sex except age. And he himself is trying to make himself have no personality. As for after A Lot of Rice, some people call him the seventh generation director, and he feels even more unreliable.
In Li Hongqi's view, making movies, like writing poems and novels, has found an expression tool. "I feel that I have an opinion about the world and have something to express, so I express it in a way that I think is effective. All expressions can do different things. Some things can only be expressed through novels, others can only be expressed through movies, and everyone's understanding is different. The key is that everyone should know what they want to do. " As a professional oil painting graduate, he is not interested in the ever-expanding contemporary art in China. "Art has now become a hand-made stock, and artists are the cultural pets of the rich.". However, he has always doubted the significance of painting, so there is nothing wrong with becoming a stock and a pet. Anyway, he gave up painting long ago. He feels that his folk identity is very good, and he is responsible for himself no matter what he does.
Li Hongqi never wants to influence others, but always defends his existence. Over the years, his personality may never change. A North drifter from Shandong, with a cool name, is talented, an idealist, loves to think about some neglected issues, and is cold and affectionate. As his friends described him, "He was born an evil person, a crooked person, a poor and stubborn non-artist".
