——Father's teaching: Be a painter, don't be a painter, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles.
Perhaps it is the reason why my father was an art teacher when he was young and his mother's spiritual hand embroidery influenced, he naturally loved art, he liked to scribble everywhere since he was a child, and after going to school, the blank space in the books and homework books became his own free place to play.
Without painting subjects, he imitated the comic strips from the books - the pictures on the old dictionary, and also collected and pasted about 7-8 material materials on the illustrations in the clipped newspapers.
His father's teachings became the motto of his life, so that later during his studies in Beijing, he bought a large number of books to bring back to his hometown in six large boxes, and once he also crushed the denim bag plywood base, and mailed too many books in the summer vacation with a scooter to pull back... Buying books and reading books has become a lifelong habit.
——Teacher Liang Yongchang, a graduate of the 17th term of Huangpu, sent "How to Draw Pencil Drawings"...
In the third grade, he went to school at Hu Liu Primary School, and met the first art enlightenment teacher named Liang Yongchang, who graduated from the 17th term of Huangpu and was good at painting portraits during the Cultural Revolution. He taught third-grade mathematics, saw that I like art, the most valuable thing is that a book Written by Fei Xin I wrote "How to Draw Pencil Drawing" was not left to his son Shuti but endured to cut love to me, because his son book and Ti I am a classmate also like art, many years later, talking about the book from the heart from the heart and heartfelt sigh said "the old man's wisdom and pearls", this book allows me to systematically understand how to use pens, composition and framing of the basic method, has become the basic treasure book to open their own understanding of the basics of art to embark on the road of art, a lifetime of treasure, gratitude and knowledge!
——Teacher Li Zonggui, who graduated from Heda University, instructed himself to draw sketches...
When I was in junior high school, the second brother worked in the fertilizer factory, saw himself obsessed with painting, took himself to the cultural center to introduce himself to the full-time art staff of the Neixiang Cultural Center at that time, Teacher Li Zonggui, a graduate of the Art Department of Heda University, saw a large number of random paintings he brought, did not say anything, placed a vase and gave a sketch paper to let himself draw, and then the whole process pointed out how to draw sketches, and before leaving, he also gave himself 4 large pieces of sketch paper, admonishing "Go back and don't scribble, just stick to drawing sketches according to today's method." After bringing back such precious sketch paper, I was reluctant to keep it with a cut of 16 open. Teacher Li Zonggui is a true enlightenment teacher who guides himself on the path of formal sketching art. After being admitted to the military arts, he often corresponded with Teacher Li to report on his study.
——Yan Yingdou, Ma Jingya, enthusiastic classmates in high school...
High school in Yangji Neixiang No. 4 High School, every day outside the classroom I insisted on sketching a picture on the wall as my own life calendar, no matter the spring, summer, autumn or winter never stopped.
Yan Yingdou, the first class teacher of high school, was very good at seeing that he liked art and had no place to practice letting himself draw in his dormitory. Ma Jingya, a teacher who was rehired after being delegated, likes to paint landscapes, and is like a confidant with himself, personally cycling more than ten kilometers to take himself to the Neixiang Cultural Center to visit the painting exhibition, and there is nothing to talk about on the road.
The most memorable is that a classmate often accompanies himself to outdoor sketching, in the winter there was a time to go down to the river beach to paint the riverside scenery, now I can't remember what his name is, what moved him is that he said, "Let's cross the river and take off our shoes and water, why should we both take off our shoes to cross the river?" ", to know that the winter river water is cold to the bone, in order to selflessly accompany me to take the initiative to endure the cold river water will carry themselves across the river, today I think how simple and sincere is rare!
——Follow Mr. Ma Changming's full-time study - enthusiastic planning...
After graduating from high school in 1981, because the art department of Heda University changed the number of art recruits to recruit private teachers in the middle of the way, he was not selected. His father saw that he was wasting at home, and sent him to the acquaintance of the cultural center, Mr. Ma Changming, to study art for a year, at which time Mr. Li Zonggui was transferred to Tanghe Normal School to teach art, and Mr. Ma Changming took over his post, and also held several county-wide art training classes, all of which he participated. At the end of the first military art training, Mr. Ma Changming dedicated himself to the Cultural Center to hold a joint exhibition of calligraphy and painting for himself who had studied in the training class of the Cultural Center and Chen Tongji, who graduated from Heda University.
——Director Li Changzhu supported going to school, and the party committee of the head of Qin Tian's regiment agreed...
In December 1982, he was conscripted into the army, served in a certain unit of the 27th Group Army, won the first prize for participating in the recruit art exhibition, and the training was not over for 3 months, and on the 45th day, he was snatched away by the regimental film group in advance, and the main work every week was to paint the window bulletin boards and slides on both sides of the entrance of the auditorium.
In the film group, I have more time and freedom, in order not to affect my colleagues' own insistence on the second floor of the room without gas, the northern winter cold night freeze wake up to paint.
Usually, I go to the library to read newspapers and other poetry, prose, novels, books and books.
One day in 1985, in a People's Liberation Army newspaper, I accidentally found a surprise message about the enrollment of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts for further study, and hurriedly took the newspaper to seek the opinion of Zheng Xi's political commissar, a Jiangsu person, who thought I could not pass the examination, and agreed to go to Beijing to apply for the examination and try it out, but I was sick.
After a while, the results came out and the admission letter was sent, and he took the notice to the political commissar, but he became suspicious that "more is better than less", fooling himself into saying," "Give you a month off to go home to visit your relatives and rest, and then strive to transfer you to volunteer soldiers" To transfer the goal to deal with me.
A month later, after returning to the army after visiting relatives, one day he met Director Li Changzhu, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, in the library who was also reading a book, and he was not willing to tentatively tell Director Li that "he was admitted to the military art training class, and the political commissar did not agree to go." Director Li loved to study and immediately said, "Hurry up and write a report, the league party committee will discuss and decide, I still want to go to school.", it was this sentence that completely changed his fate.
Qin Tian, the head of the party committee, loved cai cai very much and had courage, and personally agreed to go to Beijing for military art training.
Usually, he also had contacts with the chief, let himself write about his daughter-in-law's life, remembered that he would take himself to Beijing to give a portrait of Qin Jiwei, then minister of national defense, and he waved his hand one after another and said that "it is not possible without going through the system level" and did not dare to go.
Last year, Lieutenant General Qin Tian, who was then deputy commander of the Armed Police Headquarters, had the opportunity to meet in Shenzhen, and the chief's evaluation of himself was still "you have talent, I love talent", thanking the chief for his key encouragement and affirmation on his life path!
Later, as he wished, he went to Beijing for military art training, and Mr. Shang Husheng, director of the Department of Military Art, personally taught, Mr. Yang Lingui, the head of the oil painting class, substituted for the teacher, and Liu Dawei, the head of the Chinese painting class, and studied in the oil painting class as a learning committee member.
At the end of his training in 1987, he went to the laoshan front line to experience life and paint hundreds of battlefield sketches, and created a large number of works, among which the classical oil painting "War and Peace" won the second prize in the August 1st Founding Day in 1988, and was published by the People's Liberation Army Daily and the People's Liberation Army Pictorial, and successively prepared for the troops to build a three-defense teaching room and an exhibition room for vietnam operations, and was rated as a "model cadre for vietnam operations.". At the age of 24, he applied to join the Hebei Branch of the China Artists Association. He then served as a cultural officer in the Regimental Political Office for 4 years.
