As a parent, I will do my best to protect my children.
There is an old saying: "Children avoid their mothers, and women avoid their fathers", which means that as children grow up, they must draw a "boundary line" between parents and children.
But there is a pair of parents who act in complete contradiction.
The painter Li Zhuangping has repeatedly asked his 17-year-old daughter to stand naked in front of him, standing for hours at a time, during which his wife is also on the side, patiently enlightening his daughter, and even asking the other party not to fall in love for 6 years, all for the sake of art.
Many years later, hundreds of "artworks" were placed in the exhibition hall, and Li Zhuangping became famous.
The result? After learning that the woman was his own daughter, everyone looked at her with disdain.
Many people think that this behavior is ridiculous.
But Li Zhuangping's daughter stood up for her father, and he deserves everyone's respect.
can't help but sigh, can't I find anyone else except my own daughter?
Li Zhuangping's wife, as a mother, intervened between father and daughter, why didn't she block it, but supported it with both hands?
What kind of psychology did the daughter have to accept this absurd request?
Born in a poor family, Li Zhuangping has loved painting since he was a child.
But in that era of hunger, eating enough is a problem, how to talk about dreams and the future?
It wasn't until a chance encounter that he heard that painting could support his family, and since then, a seed of a painter has been planted in his heart.
After becoming an adult, Li Zhuangping, like ordinary people, tried a lot of jobs, but basically couldn't do it for too long, so he chose to leave.
The reason is simple, if it is not from the heart, it is difficult to stick to it for a long time.
In the end, after careful consideration, Li Zhuangping decided to pursue his dream of being a painter, and he must leave his brilliant mark in the field of art.
In this way, he earned the first pot of gold in his life by painting.
After being introduced, Li Zhuangping met his current wife, and the two talked happily, formed a family, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
In the eyes of his neighbors, he is a winner in life.
But Li Zhuangping doesn't think so, although he can make a living by selling paintings, he wants to stand on a higher stage and let everyone see his talent.
He couldn't accept that he had worked diligently for many years and did not have a painting that was well-known to the public.
To this end, Li Zhuangping continues to improve his strength, hoping to usher in the spring of his career one day.
By chance, when reading "Chu Ci: Nine Songs", he was deeply attracted by Qu Yuan's writing.
In the book, a young girl sits naked on the back of a cheetah and is on her way to a date with her sweetheart. It's a pity that the girl waited for a long time, but the other party didn't show up.
Unwillingly, she decided to search every inch of the mountains, and never give up until she found her sweetheart.
This plot lingered in Li Zhuangping's mind, and he wanted to show this beautiful and moving legend in front of everyone through his own brush.
But cheetahs are easy to find, and there are countless references, where can young girls go to find them?
In order to find the corresponding "reference", Li Zhuangping wanders the streets and alleys every day, and does not let go of any young girl who meets his own standards.
For 6 years, Li Zhuangping has not been idle for a moment.
But at that time, people's perception of "naked model" was a blank piece of paper, and everyone felt that being naked in front of strangers would damage their reputation.
In fact, Li Zhuangping also met people who met the requirements, and he stepped forward to ask as soon as possible, but in exchange for disdainful glances and some unsightly abuse.
Lost, he doesn't have a taste in his heart, he just wants to complete a work, and looking for a "nude model" is also for art, why doesn't anyone believe it?
Uneasy, he decided to take his wife and daughter out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, a figure attracted Li Zhuangping's attention, and he finally found the right person.
This person was none other than her daughter, who had just turned 17.
He looked at his daughter seriously, both in terms of posture and appearance, which were completely in line with the "young girl".
But Li Zhuangping didn't know how to talk to the other party.
As a father, he knows very well the difference between men and women, especially when the other party is his biological daughter, who is 17 years old.
The originally excited heart suddenly became a layer of sorrow.
In the process, his wife discovered his abnormality, and after a trip, Li Zhuangping was very worried.
She took the initiative to find her husband, hoping to relieve him of relief. Because she knew from beginning to end that her husband was looking for nude models.
As a woman, at first, it felt a little ridiculous.
But she has been with Li Zhuangping for many years, and she knows better than anyone that her husband is of good character and is a person who can really sacrifice everything for the sake of art.
After some conversation, Li Zhuangping lowered his head and said: "I think our daughter is like a person in a book."
The wife was shocked, and she instantly understood what her husband meant.
As a mother, she couldn't accept that her daughter was naked in front of her biological father, and said bluntly: "Li Zhuangping, she is your biological daughter, do you know what impact this will have on the child's life?"
As a father, how could Li Zhuangping not know?
Once the work is displayed, the family will not be able to wash it even if they jump into the Yellow River.
In addition, her daughter's life will be pointed at by everyone.
After finally thinking about it, he decided to give up on the idea. But because he couldn't find a suitable "young girl", Li Zhuangping couldn't eat or sleep well, and the whole person was getting thinner and thinner.
The wife saw the pain in her eyes and her heart, and her resolute opposition began to gradually waver.
After some psychological struggle, she decided to talk to her daughter about it.
When Li Qin heard his mother's words, his whole face was full of "incredible".
You know, this is his biological father, for people who don't understand art, this is a violation of human ethics, and it will affect future happiness.
After all, there are few men who can accept that their other half once stood naked in front of their biological father.
Even on the canvas, become a work of art for all to see.
Li Qin didn't say a word, she refused, she couldn't sacrifice her reputation to help her father realize his dream.
Just when Li Zhuangping felt that there was no hope for this matter, things took a turn for the better.
Living in an artistic atmosphere since childhood, Li Qin has a high talent for painting.
It can be said that she was deeply influenced by her father and also embarked on a path of art.
Before this incident happened, Li Qin's dream was to become a person as talented as Li Zhuangping.
It is worth mentioning that in her cognition, painting is to put what she thinks and sees on paper to show the most perfect side.
I didn't have any concept of "body painting" until my mother proposed it, and I realized that art was endless, divided into many different styles.
At first, in order to enlighten her father, she began to slowly get into contact with body art.
But after talking with many like-minded people, Li Qin suddenly understood his father's distress.
After some inner struggle, she decided to dedicate her life to art.
Li Qin found his mother and agreed to become his father's "naked model", and after Li Zhuangping learned the news, he couldn't cry.
At the same time, he also fell into deep self-remorse.
Because after the work comes out, the family will be pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
After hesitating again and again, Li Zhuangping did not start writing for a long time, compared with art, as a father, he is more concerned about his daughter's future.
Li Qin is very open to this, there are many choices in life, and sacrificing for art is also one of them.
In this way, accompanied by their mother, the father and daughter began to create.
At the beginning, Li Qin was a little unable to let go, but with her mother by her side, she gradually adapted.
In order to make the work more expressive, Li Zhuangping put forward a request, his daughter could not fall in love during the creation period.
First, falling in love will be distracting and will prolong the time of creation.
Second, after touching the feelings, there will be no "girl's haze", and the eyes will become impure.
In this way, in 6 years, Li Zhuangping created hundreds of works.
In the process, he will also teach his daughter some painting skills.
The hard work paid off, and "Goddess Mountain Ghost Series Paintings" came to everyone, and Li Zhuangping became famous and became a painter who attracted much attention.
As soon as this painting was released, it aroused great attention in the literary and art circles.
With hundreds of works, Li Zhuangping won the award softly, but the overwhelming abuse also followed.
People who have no intention of appreciating art find it ridiculous to learn that the model of the painting is the man's biological daughter, and although it is for the sake of art, it is unacceptable.
Li Zhuangping is like this, enjoying the process of praise, but also suffering from doubts.
Remorseful, he borrowed alcohol all day long to kill his sorrows, regretting letting his biological daughter become a model, pushing the whole family into the abyss.
But Li Qin was very calm and stood firmly by her father's side, and she did not regret her choice.
Under the influence of his father, Li Qin also embarked on a path of painting and became famous with "National Treasure Giant Panda".
To this day, the outside world still has mixed reviews for the "cooperation" between the father and daughter.
Some people feel that art is an inclusive word.
As early as many years ago, nude art appeared in Western countries, but later it entered China and gradually became accepted by everyone.
The father-daughter approach may have a strong impact on everyone, but it is also a way to promote art.
But more people feel that this is too selfish for parents.
It is difficult for people to accept their fame and fortune based on their daughter's lifelong happiness.
Today, 38-year-old Li Qin appears alone wherever he goes, and his love life has become a fan-like existence.
I don't know, does she regret the choice she made back then?
Not only does it make people sigh, but I think how this kind of art will be promoted in China, I think it remains to be discussed.
What do you think about this?
