As the saying goes, if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.
From ancient times to the present, every figure standing at the forefront of the tide of the times has always been questioned and ridiculed in the face of flowers and applause.
Han Meilin, as a well-known artist in contemporary China, he not only has achievements in traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, ceramics, establishment, sculpture and other fields that are difficult for ordinary people to match, but also was once known as the successor of Mr. Qi Baishi.
Even such an artist, while accepting the admiration of everyone, can not avoid being criticized, and the most controversial of them is the news that he has a noble son at the age of eighty-two.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > octogenarian age, happy to have Takako</h1>
As a well-known artist in contemporary China, Han Meilin's every move seems to attract the public's attention.
In 2008, Beijing successfully hosted the Olympic Games, and the "Fuwa" as the Olympic mascot was designed by Han Meilin, so people also affectionately called him "the father of Fuwa".
However, no one expected that more than ten years later, a photo of Han Meilin holding a child in his left hand and painting with his right hand swept the Internet, which once again made him the focus of public discussion.
The reason is simple, because at that time he was holding his young son who was over eighty years old, and at an age when he could already be a grandfather, he re-learned to be a father, the public did not understand, and the voice of doubt also flocked to him.
Some people say that this is irresponsible to the children and his wife, after all, life, old age, illness and death, is humane, Han Meilin at such an age to choose a child, it is doomed to him can not accompany the child for long, this is irresponsible for the child.
However, the voices of doubt continue to be raised, and the voices of support never stop.
Some people said that in this photo, it is not difficult to see that although Han Meilin is over eighty years old, his face is much younger than that of his peers, and even if he can hold a child while painting, it is not difficult to see that his physical condition is still very healthy.
As a public figure, he will not think that the old man may let him fall into the storm of public opinion, and even if he is late, he is not afraid of people's words, and he has his own crystallization with his lover, so what is there to criticize about Han Meilin?
Therefore, some people say that Han Meilin's two hands, one hand holding up the family incense, and the other hand at the helm of his own old and strong life.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > emotional ups and downs, and finally one heart</h1>
Born in Jinan, Han Meilin has experienced wars and witnessed social development and historical changes, but the most respectable thing is that from beginning to end, he has devoted his blood to art.
Whether it is Chinese painting, calligraphy, or sculpture, design, he has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to match, however, closely related to his outstanding artistic achievements is the ups and downs and misfortunes of his emotional life.
Han Meilin had four marriages in his life, and he had a young son with his fourth wife, Zhou Jianping, and before that, he had also had three marriages.
His first wife left him when he was experiencing embarrassment, when Han Meilin was in turmoil and could not protect himself, and his wife did not want to accompany him through the ordeal and abandoned him, and this incident also gave Han Meilin a very big blow at that time.
Later, Han Meilin finally ushered in the peak of his career, and he had a second marriage, but the couple went to a different ending again because of the incompatibility of ideas, his wife chose to move abroad, and Han Meilin chose to stay on Chinese soil.
Han Meilin's third marriage lasted only one year and ended in divorce.
It can be said that his first three marriages almost hit him so hard that after the third wife left him, Han Meilin was passively silent for a long time.
When Han Meilin was interviewed by reporters at that time, he also said publicly: "Three marriages have failed, and I don't want to find them again, and no one wants to toss and turn like this again and again..."
However, Han Meilin, who was able to say this sentence at that time, did not expect that in his lifetime, he would still have the opportunity to meet a person with one heart.
Perhaps in the eyes of the public at that time, although Han Meilin was young and talented and had outstanding artistic achievements, he had always been criticized in his private life, which was not only reflected in the fact that he had experienced several marriages, but also in the fact that he had a number of confidants with red faces.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people at that time, Han Meilin can be called a "playboy", however, this is the world's view of him, but not Han Meilin's view of himself, Han Meilin has always believed that he has always been consistent in love, but fate has made people, but let him experience failed marriages again and again.
Han Meilin's acquaintance with his fourth wife, Zhou Jianping, also stemmed from work, zhou Jianping, as a filmmaker, can also be regarded as involved in the field of art, so the two met and intersected, and finally fell in love.
Perhaps because of the many common topics, the friendship between the two is deepening.
Although Zhou Jianping is a filmmaker, her own love of art has led her to dabble in many art fields, which is why she can talk with han Meilin, an art master.
The two worked together, discussed art together, and even traveled together, but they never clarified each other's intentions.
However, although Han Meilin already had a good feeling for Zhou Jianping at that time, he did not know whether it was because of the hurt caused by past emotional experiences, or considering the 28-year age difference between the two, Han Meilin never showed his heart to Zhou Jianping.
Until one time, Han Meilin was seriously ill and hospitalized, and there was no one around to take care of him, only Zhou Jianping had been with him, carefully cared for, and had never left half a step.
According to Han Meilin's later recollections, at that time, he had just finished surgery, and he felt that someone around him had been taking his temperature, wiping his face, and moisturizing his lips, he did not know that it was Zhou Jianping at first, but later after waking up, when he saw the person lying on his bedside and squinting tiredly, he knew that for so many days, Zhou Jianping had been with him.
This made Han Meilin think of his first marriage, when he was in a desperate situation, his wife resolutely abandoned him regardless of the friendship of the hair, and after many years, this matter was still a wound in his heart.
However, this wound has finally ushered in the opportunity to suture now, Zhou Jianping's inseparability makes him feel the warmth of a long absence, and he silently tells himself in his heart that he cannot miss a person who truly loves himself for the sake of external public opinion.
During the recovery period, Zhou Jianping came to the hospital to accompany Han Meilin after work, tirelessly took care of him, chatted with him, and her meticulous care made Han Meilin's body recover quickly, but it made Zhou Jianping's face quickly lose weight.
All of this made Han Meilin at that time very moved, he once again believed in love, and decided to pluck up the courage to cross the obstacles in his heart and express his heart to Zhou Jianping.
Although Zhou Jianping was 28 years younger than Han Meilin at that time, she admired Han Meilin's talent and character very much, and already had a good feeling for him, so after Han Meilin confessed to him, she did not hesitate to agree to Han Meilin's show of love.
However, because the two have a lot of age differences, not only the outside world is talking about their feelings, but even Zhou Jianping's parents disagree with this.
However, Zhou Jianping, despite her parents' opposition, resolutely decided to join hands with Han Meilin for a lifetime, And Han Meilin reassured her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and also so that Zhou Jianping would not have a cold war with her family because of herself, he personally wrote a letter to her future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The letter not only shows how sincere his feelings for Zhou Jianping are, but also frankly admits why he loves Zhou Jianping, and the language is cut to the point, word by word, all from the heart.
Zhou Jianping's parents were also deeply moved after reading the letter, although they still had some doubts in their hearts, but at the insistence of their daughter, they finally agreed to the decision of the two.
In 2002, 37-year-old Zhou Jianping and 65-year-old Han Meilin entered the palace of marriage together, although the outside world was not optimistic about their marriage at that time, but it did not affect the determination of the two to go hand in hand.
After marriage, Han Meilin and Zhou Jianping had a happy marriage, because the two not only had similar interests, but also complemented each other's personalities, and Han Meilin also told Zhou Jianping more than once that he finally met the right person.
Although the two were not young at that time, Han Meilin after marriage was still as romantic and affectionate as when he was young, he would say sweet words to his wife every day, and would carefully prepare birthday gifts for her on her birthday.
Not only that, in his spare time, he painted Zhou Jianping, made ceramic sculptures according to her appearance, etc., and they enjoyed this belated sweet love like a couple in love before marriage.
Zhou Jianping also told reporters, "When I married Meilin, he only had a total of three thousand yuan on him, and there were debts outside, but I didn't care, I loved him." He's a generous outsider, but he's stingy with himself, so I want to protect him and take care of him. ”
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this that the two of them can respect each other as guests, husband and wife love, Han Meilin's feelings have experienced too many ups and downs, so although he is 28 years older than Zhou Jianping, he is the party who is taken care of, both in feelings and life.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > old and happy</h1>
In 2018, Han Meilin, who is over eighty years old, finally has his first son, and in addition to his and his wife's great joy, the outside world's doubts have also flocked to him.
More and more people began to question his character and artistic virtues, but these doubts did not affect Han Meilin's joy in the slightest.
Soon after, he and his wife Zhou Jianping were invited to participate in "Lu Yu Has a Date", in which the host asked Han Meilin more than once how he viewed the outside world's doubts.
Han Meilin, who was over eighty years old at the time, did not show any discomfort when facing such a problem, on the contrary, he was very calm and calm, and frankly said that no one is perfect.
And his wife Zhou Jianping also talked more than once about her husband's love for her son in the show, and when she is old, she has taken great risks and pressures, so Han Meilin's love for her young son can also be imagined.
Although Han Meilin had a total of four marriages, before that, he had only one daughter, born to him and his second wife, who later took her away when she went abroad.
Therefore, in Han Meilin's heart, he should also be very eager for father and son, and perhaps Zhou Jianping is willing to take risks to let him grow old and have children precisely because he understands him.
In the photo that was widely circulated on the Internet later, Han Meilin, who was more than eighty years old, held his young son who was not yet one year old, while painting, while coaxing the child's appearance, so that many netizens could not help but exclaim, it is really old and strong.
At the end of the show, the son of Han Meilin and Zhou Jianping also appeared on the screen, and the son was born in the United States, so he took an English name of Aiden, and the little guy was very cute.
On the show, one-year-old Aiden holds a paintbrush and is lying on the ground, although he may not know what painting is at this time, but he has been exposed to painting before his peers.
Aiden
Not only that, Han Meilin also proudly showed the audience a series of paintings created by his son since ten months, which in the eyes of ordinary people may be just children's random graffiti works, but in Han Meilin's eyes, they are all his son's precious works.
He collected the paintings for framing and told reporters that he would collect all of Aiden's paintings for Aeden to read again when he grew up.
After this show, many people really saw Han Meilin's spoiling of his son, and they also had to admit that although Han Meilin is more than eighty years old, as a father, he is much more qualified than many people.
Of course, although Han Meilin's fist and love for his son touched many people, there are still some people who express their incomprehension about him, and in the face of these discordant voices, Han Meilin, who is in his eighties, posted a fitness muscle photo on his social platform, and then accompanied by the text, "I Han Meilin is still quite good!" ”
Now that Aiden is three years old, Han Meilin's platform account is still keen to post his son's daily photos and photos of playing with his son with his wife, some people say that he has spent half his life and finally ushered in his happy life in his old age.
In addition to the smoothness of the family, Han Meilin in his later years has almost ushered in the peak of his career and life, in this age when ordinary people have already teased their grandchildren, he is like a young man, fitness, cooking, perhaps this is also to be able to accompany children for a longer time.
In order to record the 15 years of marriage and life with Han Meilin, his wife Zhou Jianping hereby created the book "Never Wither", in which she told the ups and downs experienced by the two in the past 15 years from the perspective of her wife, and she showed in the book that a good marriage should be mutually successful.
The first half of the book includes 179 short stories between her and her husband Han Meilin, which are accompanied by 179 small paintings created by Han Meilin during the period of love.
It can be said that the book "Never Wither" is a treasure jointly conceived by Zhou Jianping and Han Meilin.
And now Han Meilin and Zhou Jianping, the focus of their lives is not only on taking care of their sons, but also on the three art galleries they founded.
As a master of contemporary Chinese art, Han Meilin's achievements in the field of art are unparalleled, and although he is old, he has never given up continuing to shine in the field of art.
Zhou Jianping, as his wife and the person who knows him best, has accompanied and encouraged him for many years.
In January 2021, Han Meilin held a solo art exhibition in Shenzhen at the Guan Shanyue Art Museum in Shenzhen, where the crowd of people who came to participate in the exhibition was endless, and everyone stopped in front of Han Meilin's works, all of which expressed their appreciation.
At this time, no one will think of the criticism of Han Meilin's emotional life by the "keyboard man" on the Internet, and what surrounds everyone's eyes is only one artistic treasure after another.
Moreover, the outside world criticized the marriage between Han Meilin and Zhou Jianping for not lasting, however, fifteen years later, they not only did not look at each other and parted ways, but even had their own children, which was undoubtedly a loud slap to those who questioned the feelings of the two of them.
In short, no matter whether everyone praises or disparages Han Meilin, we must understand that this is a life that belongs to Han Meilin, and we should not ignore the beak, nor can we ignore the beak.
What we should see is a treasure that Han Meilin left to the Chinese art world, and nothing else.
