The Growth System Comes at the Age of Thirty

Chapter 67 How embarrassing

Li Beixing was surprised: "This writer... is much better than me!"

Even to exaggerate, it was better than what many people she had seen written.

For example, her father used to be arty and asked someone to write a picture of "God rewards those who work hard" and hung it in his office. It was said to be written by the vice president of a certain association, and it felt like that.

I also paid tens of thousands in retouching fees.

If it weren't for her biological father, she would have wanted to complain that "people are stupid and have too much money."

What Chen Jinngle writes feels different and feels very comfortable. There is no problem in calling it the art of calligraphy.

It's just that her professional level is limited and she is unable to further analyze and judge Chen Jingle's calligraphy.

then,

She saved these two pictures and sent them to her calligraphy teacher.

"Teacher Xie, what do you think of these two works?"

Xie Nanyan, Li Beixing’s first calligraphy teacher.

Their names seemed to be quite similar, which was one of the reasons why Xie Nanyan was willing to teach her calligraphy at that time.

It's just that Xie Nanyan is not a professional calligrapher. He mainly studies Chinese language. Li Beixing, a retired professor from China Normal University, traveled to the provincial capital every winter and summer vacation and studied calligraphy with him.

The relationship between the two is just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, not master-disciple, but the relationship is very close.

Mrs. Xie is 73 years old this year and is still in good spirits.

She has short gray hair permed into slightly curled hair and wears round-rimmed gold glasses. She is dressed like a typical elderly female intellectual and has a very elegant look.

Despite her age, the old lady can use a smartphone more smoothly than many people.

When she saw the picture sent by Li Beixing, she enlarged it several times and looked a little surprised. In order to see it more carefully, she transferred the picture to her tablet.

It took a while before I got a voice message back to Li Beixing:

"The style of the two pictures is very obvious. The first one is from Mi Fu, and I have a deep understanding of Mi Fu's morphological structure and feeling of using brushes. The second one is more of Zhao Mengfu. Both articles have a lot of methods. It's very correct. It's obvious that the foundation of the ancient calligraphy is very solid. In addition, there are traces of other famous writers, and even the writing style is mature, but the meaning of the writing is not as interesting as that written by an older person."

"For this kind of calligraphy author who has gradually formed a unique personal style, from the perspective of overall writing strength and method thinking, if he is no more than 45 years old, he is already considered to be good among the younger generation. If he is preparing for an exhibition competition, there should be no provincial level question."

"Only at the provincial level?" Li Beixing was surprised.

To be honest, she felt that she could write better than many people from the Chinese Association of Chinese Language and Literature.

Xie Nanyan chuckled: "Girl, the provincial level is already very powerful, okay! What I'm talking about is hard power to participate in the exhibition, not someone who sneaks in by using someone's name! Some people have been writing for a lifetime, which is the level of a municipal exhibition."

Li Beixing thought: "If that's the case, it's really awesome."

After all, the domestic population base is too large, and there are too many geniuses. Even if you choose one in a thousand, you can still pick out hundreds of thousands.

This is unimaginable for small countries.

Xie Nanyan was a little curious: "You haven't said which disciple of the author is yet?"

"have no idea."

Li Beixing decisively confessed: "It was posted by a friend of mine on WX Moments. He is quite young. I have never heard him say that he practices calligraphy before. He is probably self-taught."

Xie Nanyan pondered for a few seconds: "Self-study is not impossible, but if there is no one to guide you, if you can write at this level just by copying ancient posts, it can only be said that you have extraordinary talent."

Suddenly, I developed a love for talent.

He quickly said: "Please help me ask. If there is really no teacher, I can help recommend one."

She has been working in the field of literature for many years. Although she is not specialized in calligraphy, she also knows many famous contemporary calligraphers.

Among other things, there are masters of contemporary calligraphy in China Normal University who imitate Mi Fu and Zhao Mengfu, and are listed in the Contemporary Hall of Fame.

It is said that a famous teacher is hard to find, so is a good disciple.

For those of them who are almost at the pinnacle of contemporary literature, the importance of inheritance has surpassed the so-called innovation.

This inheritance does not refer to one family, but from the perspective of the entire national culture. Place your hopes on the next generation.

"Then let me ask."

Li Beixing agreed, but felt a little guilty.

It feels a bit rash to ask directly.

But after much deliberation, I couldn't think of any good opening remarks, so I had to bite the bullet.

He got straight to the point and said, "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Chen. Your handwriting is really good, much better than mine. Even my teacher said it was good."

Chen Jingle was a little surprised when he saw the message from Li Beixing.

He had a good impression of Chen Qiyun, the Chinese teacher. At first glance, he looked like the kind of girl with a good family background and who had never been beaten up by society.

Although this kind of person is naive at times, he is also easy to get along with.

So I asked out of curiosity: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Teacher Li. Who is your teacher...?"

Li Beixing: "A retired professor from China Normal University. I studied calligraphy with her for a while."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Chen Jingle suddenly realized: "Oh, thank you for the compliment, old man. I wrote casually for fun, so I probably can't write as well as you."

Although he didn't know the status of this retired old professor, he was still very happy to hear others say this.

Just writing for fun?

Li Beixing's expression was a bit weird. Is this the talent gap between people?

"Excuse me, who did you learn this calligraphy from?"

"I didn't learn from anyone, I just practiced blindly on my own."

"Really or not? I feel like your level is enough to participate in the China Association of Exhibitions." After confirming, Li Beixing was hit again. While feeling a little depressed, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

As expected, people are more irritating than others.

Chen Jingle replied: "It's too much praise. How can He Dehe compare with the national team? Just write about it casually and make yourself happy."

He had no intention of pursuing calligraphy.

Whether it is flower gardening, cooking, or calligraphy, he has only one purpose, which is to enrich his knowledge and make himself happy at the same time.

Just be happy.

Life is not for others. What others think of it is their business, but your own happiness is closely related to yourself.

Only then did Li Beixing reveal his purpose: "Actually, I want to ask on behalf of my teacher if you need a teacher, and she can help you recommend one."

Recommended?

Chen Jingle was stunned for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but calligraphy is just a hobby for me, and I don't plan to make a living from it. I'll just study with a teacher."

When it comes to teachers, the system is his best teacher.

He doesn't want to find another uncle who stares at him every day and demands this and that.

How tiring!

"Okay, I'm just asking for others."

Li Beixing's rejection of him was expected. She didn't know why, but she felt that this man didn't like all kinds of restrictions.

After a pause, she added: "By the way, I like your calligraphy very much. Can you write one for me?"

Chen Jingle was just thinking about how to decline politely, but the other party sent another sentence.

"I can pay for the polish."

Ah, this, this is so embarrassing.
