China News Network reporter Wang Jian
A month ago, Liu Jiachang, a "ghost master" in the Chinese music scene who was over seventy years old, wore a plaid shirt and sat on the stairs, emaciated but in good spirits. In his usual dashing and indifferent tone, he said to fans through the video: "This is the last work of my life!" I hope you have time to take a look. ”
On November 3, Liu Jiachang spent 10 years to unveil the mystery of Huaquan Village, the "Art Shangri-La" built in the deep mountains of Yingtan, Jiangxi, the "ancestral court of Chinese Taoism", and officially opened to the outside world free of charge. Photo by Wang Jian
On November 3, Liu Jiachang spent 10 years to unveil the mystery of Huaquan Village, the "Art Shangri-La" built in the deep mountains of Yingtan, Jiangxi, the "ancestral court of Chinese Taoism", and officially opened to the outside world free of charge.
According to the official introduction of Longhu Mountain, Huaquan Village cost 500 million yuan to build, with a total area of 250 mu (about 16.6 hectares), is an art village integrating art creation, music creation, ceramic museum, Chinese cultural elite house and education base.
Walking into the village, a 1.6-kilometer-long painting wall runs through it, and its length is the largest in the world. In the small village, paintings, ceramics, sculptures and other works of art created by artists from dozens of countries on five continents can be seen everywhere.
Among them, there are many works by Repin, Fei Xin and other representatives of the Russian Touring School in the 19th century, as well as the works of 30 contemporary realistic oil painting masters in China.

At the opening ceremony of Huaquan Village and the first World Culture and Art Festival on the same day, art masters from China, the United States, Russia, Australia and other countries and abroad gathered in Huaquan Village, Longhu Mountain, to interact artistically by displaying their works.
"The smoke and rain of Dragon Tiger Mountain are hazy as smoke, I walked alone to the edge of the mountain, not an unexpected discovery, this is the home I want to build." Liu Jiachang, in his lyrics and composition of "Song of Dragon and Tiger Mountain", talked about the beginning of the construction of Huaquan Village.
Liu Jiachang, who once lived in the coast of California for 35 years, returned to the mainland because of the reason of "in his old age, I hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots" and chose the World Natural Heritage Site and the birthplace of Taoism - Jiangxi Longhu Mountain.
For the past 10 years, he has spent a considerable part of his time in seclusion here, with the landscape and with the music. Liu Jiachang believes that the "solemn landscape can erase the worldly distractions, and this is a paradise without strife." ”
"Because pop songs are not popular here, the farmers don't know me, and I have full freedom."

As a result, Liu Jiachang spent almost a decade of time with the power of foolishness, trying to build a "Shangri-La" in his own mind Chinese, art, and soul in a material society of complex competition.
In the face of the "last work" of his life, Liu Jiachang lamented the difficulty of "production" at the opening ceremony on the same day, overcoming many factors such as funds, and finally Yuru Yucheng.
Huaquan Xiaocun may not be his "paradise" to hide from the troubles of red dust - in the face of the group photo requests of many "fans" that day, 74-year-old Liu Jiachang is slightly tired. Liu Jiachang's story, as he said in his life's largest record-selling work "The Past Can Only Be Remembered": "Time never returns." (End)
