Qi Baishi (1864- 1957), a master of Chinese painting, was unknown for the first half of his life, and few people know his name in the national painting circle. It was not until the 1920s that Qi Baishi, who was over 60 years old, studied the works of famous painters and ancient masters in China, and completed the "declining year reform" in 10. Since then, his fame and influence have blossomed all over the country like sesame seeds.

By the end of 1940s, Qi Baishi had become a famous painter and influential cultural celebrity in China. He is invited by people from all walks of life almost every day and becomes a respected guest.

At a banquet in the early 1950s, Qi Baishi met Xin (1927- 1998). Since then, the two have forged an indissoluble bond and established a "father-daughter relationship."

One is a respected painter who is over eighty years old, and the other is a beautiful young Ju Ping actor. What kind of sparks will they spark? How many people believe that the "father-daughter love" between them is true?

This has to start with their acquaintance and subsequent contacts.

1August, 952, Wu Zuguang, a new husband, famous scholar and social activist (19 17-2003), gave a banquet to entertain guests. The invited guests are all well-known cultural celebrities in Beijing, and Qi Baishi is certainly among them.

On the day of the banquet, Qi Baishi took the nurse to the appointment as scheduled. After sitting down, he looked up and saw a charming woman greeting the guests.

Maybe that woman is too beautiful. Qi Baishi's eyes are always fixed on that woman. Where a woman goes, his eyes follow and never move away.

This lady is Xin, a very popular Pingju performance artist in Beijing. Qi Baishi has heard her name and seen her plays before. She also knows Qi Baishi's name, but they have never formally met. This meeting was the first time they saw each other's true colors.

The nurse couldn't stand it any longer, reminding Qi Baishi to pay attention to his image. Don't always stare at Xin, lest others laugh.

I didn't expect Qi Baishi to get angry immediately. He said loudly, I am so old, why can't I see her? She is beautiful, I just want to see it!

Everyone's eyes followed the sound and saw Qi Baishi. Stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Qi Baishi was a little embarrassed and immediately turned red.

At this time, Xin saw it and hurried to Qi Baishi. She said, Qi Lao, it's okay. You see, I'm a singer, and I'm not afraid to watch it.

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

As if inspired by the laughter of all, Qi Baishi, sitting in a chair, raised his head, leaned forward and carefully studied the new Xia Feng in front of him.

Then Qi Baishi saw the delicate hands of the new Xia Feng and liked them very much. Then he held them for a long time and refused to let go. The nurse advised him several times, but Qi Baishi was indifferent.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Wu Guangzu, the husband of New Xia Feng, hurried forward to clear the way and said, Qi Lao, of course you can see. Look at it any way you want.

This sentence made everyone laugh again.

Qi Baishi was so informal because he was respected and held a high position in the literary and art circles at that time. He has the capital. Even if he did, no one would dare to gossip to his face.

Xin Xiafeng is also very clear in his heart. Qi Baishi sees himself this way because he is young and beautiful. Any man will take one more look at a beautiful woman.

Suddenly, someone shouted, JiLao, why don't you take Xia Feng as your adopted daughter?

This sentence came too timely, and almost revealed the feelings that Qi Baishi and New Xia Feng wanted to say, but it was not convenient to say. Therefore, Qi Baishi was filled with joy when he heard this booing, and quickly said that this idea is great.

Xin Xia Feng also blushed at once. Although she is quietly on the surface, her inner ecstasy has long been irrepressible. She immediately knelt down to the ground and shouted "michel platini" to Qi Baishi in front of everyone.

In this way, Qi Baishi and the new "love between father and daughter" were formally established because of this banquet, which added a lot of brilliance to their later lives.

The next morning, Xinhe and her husband Wu Zuguang are going to visit their adoptive father Qi Baishi with gifts. Qi Baishi has got up early and told the nursing staff to clean the house inside and outside and prepare for the distinguished guests.

Qi Baishi was as happy as a child when he saw the new Xia Feng enter the house. Then, Qi Baishi opened a Chinese cupboard with a key and took out cakes to serve.

The cake is a little hard. Bite it. The nurse on the side snickered and said: These cakes have been stored for a long time, and Qi Lao is reluctant to eat them at ordinary times, and rarely takes them out to entertain guests. Only when some very important guests come to the door, Qi Lao will take them out.

After eating cakes, drinking tea and chatting for a while, Qi Baishi took the new Xia Feng to the front of the painting case, took out a pile of paintings from under the painting case and unfolded them one by one.

These paintings are Qi Baishi's unfinished works on weekdays, mostly flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as other birds and animals.

Qi Baishi said to Xin: Choose one of these paintings and I'll polish it for you.

When Xinhe studied a painting carefully and smiled together, Qi Baishi immediately understood his goddaughter's mind.

Qi Baishi said: This painting is not finished yet. If you have any good ideas and ideas, let me help you finish them. Or you can just draw it.

New Xia Feng thinks he is too inexperienced, knows nothing about painting, and dares not give advice, let alone write.

Qi Baishi thought it was right and added it to the painting privately.

I saw him think a little, so I picked up a brush, added red leaves and tree trunks beside it, and then signed a letter, named the painting "Red Leaves" and gave it to Xin as a gift.

A few days later, Qi Baishi couldn't help saying that he could recognize such a beautiful dry daughter in his eighties and should invite everyone to dinner.

So, under the arrangement of Qi Baishi, friends got together to drink, which was very lively. Before eating, Qi Baishi specially took a group photo with Xin at the entrance of the hotel.

With more and more contacts between the new Xia Feng and Qi Baishi, Qi Baishi felt that he liked this "dry daughter" more and more, and gradually came up with the idea of teaching her his painting skills.

About a month later, Xin visited Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi was elated and said, let me teach you to draw!

Without waiting for Xin's consent, Qi Baishi took Xin to his drawing case, pointed to the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and pigment already on the drawing case, and said, You can draw one casually, so don't shirk it this time.

Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up a brush and scribble a "painting" on the paper at will.

This painting is neither fish nor fowl, saying that it looks like flowers nor grass.

Qi Baishi was very satisfied after reading it, and said: You can pick up a brush and paint in front of a famous painter like me without being timid. This is success. I appreciate your courage.

Qi Baishi even thinks that if Xin is carefully cultivated, he has a high talent in opera and the principle of art is the same. Maybe she can make a difference in painting.

Since Qi Baishi taught Xin to draw, whenever Xin came to see him again, he taught her to draw, sometimes even holding her hand to teach her. After each teaching, she should be assigned some creative tasks to test how she is doing.

Sometimes, if Xin doesn't come for several days, Qi Baishi can't help but miss her, so he will ask someone to send a message to Xin and invite her to come home to play.

In Qi Baishi's mind, Xin seems to have regarded it as his own daughter. This can be seen from Qi Baishi's concern every time he goes to see a new performance.

Whenever there is a new performance, Qi Baishi is always the first to be present. After the performance, Qi Baishi will go backstage and watch the new summer weathering and makeup before leaving.

Sometimes, Xin plays a tragic character on the stage. Qi Baishi was very sad after reading it, and then told New Xia Feng: Don't play such a role in the future. It pains me to see it.

Obviously it is the plot in the story, but because Qi Baishi loves me, love my dog, he mistakenly thinks that the new fate is so tragic. It can be seen that Qi Baishi has already moved his true feelings for this "dry daughter".

Qi Baishi died in the autumn of 1957 at the age of 93. At this time, Xin has been studying painting with Qi Baishi for five years. Because of her high artistic talent, she also got some biographies of Qi Baishi. After the special period, Xin could no longer perform on stage, so she had to make a living by selling paintings. If Qi Baishi hadn't taught her to draw, she might even have problems with her life.

Some people say that the purpose of meeting Qi Baishi and New Xia Feng is not simple enough. Qi Baishi is infatuated with new beauty, while new cares about his position. Admittedly, there is some truth in this statement, but from the five years since Qi Baishi met the new girl, it can be seen that Qi Baishi really likes the new girl, and has moved his true feelings for this adopted daughter, which is a kind of "father-daughter affection" that transcends all secular prejudices.
