From the highest to the moon and the sun, to the farthest couple. Life is hurried for decades, think about it, the first half of life to send children to grow up, the second half of life to send parents away. Such a close blood connection, in fact, can not accompany themselves for too long.
And the only relatives we can choose for ourselves are our partners, three meals and four seasons, years and years, and our partners witness the hard work along the way, happiness and sadness.
They accompany us to grow up together, to meet and welcome and welcome all the lives that appear in our little world. So now many people will advocate: in the order of life, in addition to themselves, the partner is the most important person.
The famous painter Mr. Xu Linlu, who respected and cherished his partner, decided to inherit all his property by his partner after his death. But the old man did not expect that it was his own arrangement that triggered a protracted battle between the children and the mother.
Xu Linlu, the originator of the New China Gallery and a closed disciple of Qi Baishi, a master of modern calligraphy and painting. He studied with Qi Baishi for 13 years and accumulated rich artistic accomplishment and superb artistic aesthetics.
At the suggestion of his teacher Qi Baishi, Xu Linlu founded the "Peace Painting Shop" and became the first shop in New China to sell art paintings.
With the blessing of teacher Qi Baishi, coupled with the hospitality of Xu Linlu and the wide range of friends, the peace painting shop soon became an important stronghold for local cultural exchanges.
There is a great deal of laughter and laughter, and there is no white ding. At that time, well-known figures in the literary and artistic circles were very willing to come here. The tea is fragrant and the small garden is quiet, where they communicate passionately, violently collide views, and appreciate each other's paintings.
There are not only the brilliant today's stars, but also the future stars that have not yet illuminated. When the young painter who had not yet become famous appeared at the door of the painting shop, he hesitated to knock on the door. Xu Linlu always kindly introduced them into the store, asked about their needs, and appreciated their talents.
So at that time, when most people were still struggling on the subsistence line and lacked the leisure to appreciate the paintings. Xu Linlu has acquired a large number of valuable paintings at a very low price with his unique artistic vision.
Decades later, with the great enrichment of people's material life, the level of art appreciation has improved. The value of these paintings has also risen. By the time Mr. Xu died, the total valuation of more than 70 paintings in his collection had exceeded 2 billion yuan.
Unlike many older people who want to leave property to future generations. Mr. Xu believes that all of his children have the ability to live and do not need to rely on their own help. He then left his property to his wife, Wang Lingwen.
In the 70 years of ups and downs, Xu Linlu and Wang Lingwen have always accompanied each other and frothed with each other. Mr. Xu is grateful for his wife's efforts, and even if he leaves, he still wants his wife to live a good life.
Xu Linlu had a harmonious family, and he and his wife had four sons and four daughters, a total of eight children. Fathers are kind and filial, brothers and brothers are respectful, and those who know them say, "I have never seen such a courteous and gentle family." ”
Just as the children were about to discuss the division of their father's property, the elderly mother trembled and took out a handwritten will of her father, which clearly stated that all the property of Xu Linlu belonged to His wife Wang Lingwen. At the end of the will there is Xu Linlu's own handprint and name seal.
With a thunderclap on the flat ground, Mr. Xu's division of property shocked everyone including his children. Chinese the custom of heirlooms, valuable objects, passed from the hands of the elderly to the younger generation, have become a matter of course.
Before they saw their father's will, they considered: How to provide for the old mother? Which of his father's relics are left for his mother to remember?
After seeing the will, they were silent, even a little angry. They didn't believe that the father had left nothing for himself.
So in July 2012, the year after Xu Linlu's death, the third son, Xu Huayi, first sounded the clarion call of the inheritance battle. A complaint took the 90-year-old mother to court.
He filed a lawsuit with the court, finding that the father's will was forged by the mother and therefore seeking to invalidate the will. It also requires the court to legally divide the father's estate in accordance with the inheritance law.
On 15 March 2013, the court held its first hearing on this huge estate dispute. In the solemn courtroom, the plaintiff seated the children who were hungry for money, and the defendant seated the isolated mother.
Parents and children, they have done a lot of things face to face. Once everyone was under the same roof, talking and laughing together, when the children and grandchildren were on their knees, they were not happy.
No one expected that a family would look at each other in such a way, looking at each other from a distance, becoming strange and distant.
Raising the weapon of law, the plaintiff, led by Xu Huayi, challenged the authenticity of the will to the court. Because they believe that the font structure of "Xu" and "Lin" in the will is different from their father's usual writing habits.
The mother, Wang Lingwen, took out a photo of herself and her husband taking a group photo with the will. It was determined that there were no traces of modification to the photograph. At the same time, after repeated and careful identification by professional appraisal institutions, it was finally determined that the will was written by Mr. Xu Linlu himself.
In the face of sufficient evidence, combined with the emotional situation of the two elderly people, the first instance judgment ruled that Xu Linlu's will was valid and that his wife had legally inherited all his assets.
Even with the judgment of the court, this inheritance dispute is not over. The temptation of money is really too great, and the children are not convinced and continue to file lawsuits.
This is a protracted war, retried first instance, retrial second trial. For 5 years, the old lady and her children spent time with each other in this lawsuit. Calligraphy and painting appreciate, but the affection between each other is getting less and less, and the more they are polished, the thinner and thinner.
The reason why the artist's works have been passed down to the world, in addition to the superb artistic level, which is considered precious by everyone, is also the spiritual value and noble character of the representatives behind them.
Flowing between strokes and paintings is the artist's life, telling the story of the artist. In this way, man's intangible spiritual wealth is the most valuable.
Mr. Xu Linlu, who has loved collecting all his life. I don't want to think about it, my own harmonious and friendly family is torn apart and attacks each other because of the value of the collection.
Without the help of their families, only the merchants' worries remain. This is truly the greatest sorrow in the world.
The family is like a tree, it stands there steadily. No matter how far you go, where you're going.
Any time just want to come back. It can shield you from the wind and rain, cool you, stretch the branches, gently touch you, and reduce the fatigue of the outside world for you. This big tree is always the reliance of every family.
The elders in the family support us a family, as a junior, we must know how to appreciate our parents, filial piety to the elders, to respect every decision they make independently, so that they can live smoothly. This is also something that children can do to make their parents happy.
