The reporter's handwriting | "The person who painted this painting, the heart wanders in the sky!" ”

On Weibo, "Old Tree Painting" uploads a painting every day, and in just a few months, it quickly becomes a popular ID. His paintings are always a few strokes, and tradition and modernity are randomly "mixed" and "crossed". Even more absolutely, there is a spontaneous and wantonly ridiculous oil poem that matches the picture. Some netizens said: "The person who painted this painting has his heart wandering in the sky!" ”

The conversation with the old tree is pleasant and pleasant, sometimes on the stone steps of the Qingdao Municipal Art Museum, sometimes at the junction of Daxue Road and Yushan Road, or at the dinner table... He was a knowledgeable and interesting man.

I still remember sitting on the stone steps of the Qingdao Municipal Art Museum, the old tree thought about the landscape of the old garden of Qilu Dadi when he was a child, and looked back at the old things of his father and fellow villagers; in the old site of the Qingdao Citation Institute, the old tree became a teacher again, and he personally founded the Department of Financial Journalism of the Central University of Finance and Economics. Speaking to a new journalist like me, he said that the interview was the encounter of two equal souls.

Lao Shu gave me a painting with the inscription "I Floated Through this World", similar to the poster of his small painting exhibition held at the Rongbaozhai Museum of Contemporary Art on January 3-9, 2020.

He once said that the name of the painting was initially called Wind Rising, because the exhibition was scheduled for early autumn. The results dragged on again and again, by the end of the year. Yesterday's strong wind, was blown to sit on the ground, let's change it to a strong wind. In fact, everything is the same, and it is indispensable. Everyone's standards don't have much to do with you, can others raise your blood pressure for you? Painting, or living, is a very personal matter. Try to live a little better, and make the painting more interesting, it is not easy.

Before meeting The Old Tree, I heard a lot of interesting things about Him from Sun Jingtao and Lu Peng. When he was really confronted, he redefined my understanding of the words affinity and fun.

At the Qingdao Municipal Art Museum, as the academic host of "A Man's City - Wu Zhengzhong Photography Retrospective", in the gap between breaks, he waved to me, "Come, do our work." "The setting sun sprinkles on the shoulders, as if it were a free man".

During the interview, many people were looking for the old tree, and our interview was interrupted many times. But no matter what happened, he was always friendly because of his sincerity and freedom.

When writing the chapter "Who Can't Afford the Old Garden", Wang Zengqi's prose collection "Mountains and Rivers Old People" was spread on the table, and the music of "Mountains and Rivers Old People" was in the stereo. My thoughts drifted to the remote village in the Luzhong Mountains, which was the spiritual home of the old tree's heart. (Reported by Liu Lanhui, client reporter of Dazhong Daily)
