In the summer of 1912, a little girl cried with tears in her eyes, and suddenly he knelt down, then raised his head and said to the person in front of him: "Lord, leave me!" The name of this kneeling little girl was Zhang Yuliang, but future generations were more familiar with her changed name, that is, Pan Yuliang. She was a famous painter in the Republic of China, and it can even be said that in Asia at that time, her painting level was definitely the first level!
Formerly known as Zhang Yuliang, his childhood was spent in misery
Pan Yuliang, whose original name was Zhang Yuliang, was born in 1895 in an ancient city in Yangzhou. At that time, Zhang Yuliang's family was in the small commodity business, his father was responsible for weaving felt hats every day, and his mother was very proficient in embroidery. That is to say, because of their careful management and the quality of the products that they did sell, the business became better and better, and they made a lot of money. Although it is not possible to call a rich merchant in the local area, there is absolutely no problem with adequate food and clothing.
It was remarkable to be able to have such an income in the social conditions at that time. One day, however, a foreign merchant expressed his willingness to buy a large number of felt hats and embroideries, and asked for the goods in advance, but never appeared again. The husband and wife looked at the contract in their hands in a daze, their goods were gone, and the previous accumulation was instantly destroyed. In that year, Zhang Yuliang was born, and Zhang Yuliang's father also died of anxiety and illness.
When Zhang Yuliang was two years old, his sister who loved him also left this world, and suddenly the family had a lot less vitality, and her mother was no longer full of energy in the face of life as she was then, and she could only take Zhang Yuliang to rely on the embroidery craft to barely survive. When Zhang Yuliang was a child, he saw the most pictures of his mother, that is, the embroidery works of his mother's quiet makers, and the stitches and threads were so skilled that people were distressed. Although it was said that life was hard, her mother gave Zhang Yuliang a correct idea of three views.
But when Zhang Yuliang was 8 years old, her mother also left her, and Zhang Yuliang at that time was full of fear for the world, an 8-year-old child, without the company of his mother, felt strange and afraid to see anything. She was sent to her uncle's house, a man who liked to smoke, drink and gamble, and she did not receive much love, but rather like a task that her uncle had to deal with. Uncle likes to gamble money, and after gambling money lost, he always owes money and does not give, one day uncle was forced to go nowhere, he sold Zhang Yuliang directly, as for the place of sale, I think everyone should know where it is.
She didn't have the freedom at that time, saying that she didn't sell her art, but in this kind of place, she didn't have the right to choose. The real thing that can get her out of here is to know some high-ranking officials and nobles through luck to redeem herself. Finally, in 1912, she met a man who could take herself away from here, Panzanhua! He is a typical advanced element of the era of change, open-minded and avant-garde, and especially hates the deceit and pedantic contrivance in the official arena. He was 27 years old when he came to Zhang Yuliang's place, and the local gentry knew that this person had the ability, so they took him to Zhang Yuliang's place to pick up the wind and dust for him.
Encountering Panzanhua changed fate
At that time, Pan Zanhua's heart was very disgusted with this behavior, this was the process he hated the most, watching the girls on the stage sing, he actually had no fluctuations in his heart, until Zhang Yuliang appeared and sang the song "Bu Suanzi", he raised his head. What he saw was a little girl with slightly darker skin, and her singing voice made Pan Zanhua feel incredible, and he quickly reveled in it and could not extricate himself. The gentry at that time saw Pan Zanhua's intoxication and knew what it was.
When Zhang Yuliang finished singing and prepared to leave, Pan Zanhua asked Zhang Yuliang a sentence, "Do you know who the author of this word is?" "Southern Song Dynasty Tiantai camp prostitute Yan Rui." Zhang Yuliang answered Pan Zanhua's question without any hesitation. At that time, Pan Zanhua was very surprised, and there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to take this girl out, she should not be in such a place, she should go to a higher place to pursue what she wanted!
Pan Zanhua said to Hao Sheng, don't let her work here, let her go back to her original place. That is to say, let Zhang Yuliang return to his uncle's side. Of course, the gentleman did so, and arranged a chance encounter for the two people, and the two people talked happily, but soon it was time to separate. Zhang Yuliang walked farther and farther, she did not want to return to her uncle's side, halfway to the end suddenly turned around and ran back and then said to Pan Zanhua on his knees, "Lord, leave me!" ”
Pan Zanhua eventually spent money to rescue her, and Zhang Yuliang lived in Pan Zanhua's house after that. Pan Zanhua gave up his bedroom to Zhang Yuliang, and went to sleep in the study, Zhang Yuliang, who heard the news, was very touched and directly expressed his willingness to be a concubine! Pan Zanhua wanted to keep Zhang Yuliang, but he did not want her to be a concubine, but he could become a confidant of his own, but in the face of Zhang Yuliang's request, Pan Zanhua still agreed, that is, at this moment, Zhang Yuliang changed his name to Pan Yuliang.
In the days that followed, Pan Yuliang was very happy, because with Pan Zanhua's encouragement, she entered the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and after that, she concentrated on studying art. This was the first step in her painting career and the most important step in her future. Although studying is a very happy thing for her, there are also some unpleasantness in the process, and these unpleasantness mainly comes from her previous occupation.
Many people felt that she should not be able to enter the school in her capacity, so when she entered the school with the first place in sketching, many students also said that they wanted to withdraw from school. Pan Yuliang is certainly impossible to say that she is not uncomfortable in the face of these prejudices, but she has turned such sad emotions into hard work, and has used her excellent results to punch those who doubt her classmates again and again.
Without Pan Zanhua, there would be no Pan Yuliang, whom we know
However, after this, Pan Yuliang was obsessed with body art paintings, which led to the change of his life trajectory. This avant-garde style was seen by many at the time as a sign of bad manners, even now many people have no way to understand it as legitimate art. Pan Yuliang was verbally attacked for secretly studying and being discovered by his classmates. She knew that it was impossible for her to study at school, so she returned to Pan House and studied it herself in her room.
However, Pan Zanhua saw this scene when he entered the room one time, and he could not accept such a fact, and the atmosphere became a little awkward at first. However, Pan Zanhua thought about it later, and the art may indeed be of a relatively high class level, and finally he decided to let Pan Yuliang go to the National School of Fine Arts in Paris to study. This is the best opportunity for Pan Yuliang in this life, and the classmates around him are like-minded people, and they also have a lofty pursuit of art while being avant-garde.
Pan Zanhua would give Pan Yuliang a sum of money every month, in order to allow Pan Yuliang to study in Paris without being disturbed by other problems. After many years of further study in Paris, Pan Yuliang went to Rome again to study, and when she returned from her studies in 1928, she had become a star figure in the world of painting. At that time, he hated his alma mater and hired her as the protagonist of Western painting. The thing that made Pan Yuliang feel very uncomfortable in his heart was that his man Pan Zanhua had fallen in the official field and his original position had been deprived.
Pan Zanhua's wife also had the capital to bully Pan Yuliang at this time, and she asked Pan Yuliang to kneel down and ask for peace, which was also her second kneeling. This time, like the last time, Pan Yuliang burst into tears, but last time it was to be able to get out of the sea of suffering, and this time it was to maintain the final dignity of the man she loved in her heart. In 1937, she decided to live in France for more than forty years. In order to keep Pan Yuliang undisturbed, Pan Zanhua wrote him a letter in the middle of the way, and there were only four short words in the letter, that is, "Please do not return."
At that time, the domestic social atmosphere showed a deformed state, Pan Zanhua herself had no way to change such a state, only to choose to endure silently, but even at this time, she hoped to be able to use her ability to protect Pan Yuliang, and did not want her to return to China to be hurt when she was in social turmoil. Pan Zhenghua protected Pan Yuliang with his true feelings, and Pan Yuliang enjoyed Pan Zanhua's love for himself, and told Pan Zanhua with his own achievements that his efforts were rewarded, but the rewards were all reflected in Pan Yuliang's own body.
Pan Yuliang left this world in Paris in 1977, and before she died, she gave her pocket watch and the necklace that Pan Zanhua once gave her to her friends. I hope my friends can bring it to Pan Zanhua's sons and grandchildren. His life is already wonderful enough, and what has made his wonderful life is the Pan Zanhua who saved himself from the sea of suffering, the Pan Zanhua who has always supported him no matter what happens, and the Pan Zanhua who changed Pan Yuliang's life with true feelings.
Before her death, she changed into a cheongsam and brought her self-portrait to China. This symbolizes his return to the embrace of his motherland, and it is difficult to imagine that a dusty woman once became a world-famous painter. What we see is Pan Yuliang's indomitability and tenacity, but behind this is Pan Zanhua's silent dedication. Without Pan Zanhua, Pan Yuliang would never have been able to go to such a height as he is now.
Pan Yuliang can be said to be an unfortunate person, because his childhood is full of misery and sorrow. But she is also one of the happiest women in the world, because he has been feeling the person he loves all his life and giving him strong love!
