Ding Shaoguang has a love story, what is its content?

Ding Shaoguang’s most well-known love story happened before the Cultural Revolution. At that time, he was an art student who traveled to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province to paint. As a result, he fell in love with a local Dai woman. Her surname was Dao and her nickname was Yujuan. , but the two did not get married. Later, Ding Shaoguang returned to Beijing and was transferred to his old place in Yunnan during the Cultural Revolution. However, the other party was already married, had kidney disease, and had 4 children.

Many years later, Ding Shaoguang painted this tall and beautiful woman into a beautiful work "Paradise" in the United States.

Lanzai Dam, also known as "Peacock Tail", is the most beautiful Banna in Xishuangbanna. Beautiful Dai girls are indispensable in every village of Lanlanba Village. On the day of "rushing" (open-air market), three beauties come out of the cage together to openly choose lovers.

In the Dai family, a girl starts to grow up, and the cardamom starts to grow in early February. 16-year-old Yujuan is the king of flowers among the three beauties. Which lucky young man will she fall in love with?

According to the ancient custom of the Dai people, three beauties were selling roasted chicken legs at the stall. Of course, setting up a stall is just a formality, and the sellers and buyers do not care about it. Not everyone has the nerve to buy chicken legs. Only a young man with outstanding talents has the courage and qualifications. The handsome guy the girl doesn't like comes to buy the chicken legs, and the price of the chicken legs immediately soars to a horrifying astronomical figure. If the girl falls in love with a handsome guy, the price will plummet to zero. The girl will also hand a small bamboo stool to the girl she likes to eat and chat with. The moon is shining on the willow, and the passion is like fire. Wrapped in a blanket, the lovers disappear. .

The 16-year-old Kao Yujuan actually had someone in mind for a long time: she secretly watched the painter sketch from a distance many times and knew that he was a Han college student and he was very good at painting. She longed for the day when Yujuan would appear in the painter's painting. The painter will definitely come to do the painting today, and he will not let go of such a good opportunity to collect photos.

Yujuan is smart, so of course she won’t guess wrong. Like everyone else, the young painter was amazed by the three beauties. Carrying a drawing board, he squeezed left and right to Yujuan's stall, ready to sketch. It happened that another handsome guy who was courting couldn't bear the "sky-high price" of the chicken drumsticks and the crowd laughed and ran away. The painter stepped back to make way. Yujuan was anxious and gave the painter a small bamboo stool. The painter sat down obediently and took the chicken leg handed by Yujuan and gnawed it fiercely (if you have eaten chicken drumsticks baked by Banna Camellia Chicken, you will definitely understand my description of "gnawing fiercely").

At this moment, the reflection of the camera lens woke up the painter. The painter shouted "Don't take pictures of me" and ran away. The reporters who came specifically to take pictures of Banna's children regretted decades. Many years later, Hou Bo, a famous Chinese journalist who was unable to capture the success, told the artist: She clearly saw Yujuan's tears falling. Yujuan never set up a stall to sell chicken legs again. She didn't understand why her beauty was not as beautiful as a leaf painted by a painter.

Thirty-five years later, a painter in the United States received a letter from Yujuan: "I dare not look at you squarely, but I can only pay attention to your every word and deed, and take you into consideration." All the shadows are recorded in my heart, but I don’t have the courage to confess to you. My heart beats for the love of youth.” At this time, the painter was already a world-famous master, the representative painter of the United Nations for three consecutive years, and selected for the 90th World Expo. Among the hundreds of art masters in the world, he is the only Chinese painter. Yujuan's letter was hidden by the painter in a close place for a long time. Only two or three people in the world have seen this letter. Of course I copied it from someone else, so I can’t guarantee it’s the original version.

The story ends here, just at the beginning, drinking tea in the middle, taking a turn and trying Brecht's "alienation" method.

After completing his sketching internship, the painter left Lanyanba and returned to university. The next year, the painter graduated from the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts. On the assignment form, all the painters filled in the four-character "Xishuangbanna" in the volunteer column, except for "Yujuan". However, viewers must know one thing: this is 1962.

That year, the border man who told this story was born in another beautiful Banna adjacent to Olive Dam, the one with the world-famous Manfeilong Pagoda. The exact place of birth is under a large green tree with a single forest. Monkeys are running around in the tree. Nests made by bees and weaver birds are hanging all over the treetops. Fungus/chicken fir trees grow randomly around the tree roots during the rainy season. /boletus or something.

Twenty years later, I insisted on being transferred to work as a people's teacher specializing in training beauties in the "Peacock Tail" Olive Dam. As a result, I ran away after being transferred for a week. . It’s not that the scenery of Lanyanba is not beautiful, nor that the girls there are not beautiful, but that a party committee secretary who has long disliked me was transferred to me at the same time, and he wanted to send me to the most remote mountains and forests, so I had to retreat quickly. Return to Jinghong, the capital of the state.

So, the college student in the story went for a walk in Olive Dam, and a beautiful woman fell in love with her. She sat on the small bamboo stool and gnawed the chicken legs, but she couldn't keep her. As a college student, I wrote a bloody letter to firmly take root in Lanyanba, vowing to contribute my upper and lower body to the border education cause, but no one liked me. The party and the government insisted on letting me go to the virgin forest to open up wasteland.

Twenty years is not only a period of time, but also a watershed. It divides two passionate young people who love "Peacock Tail" into two: one has become a world-class painter, and the other is still a barbarian who talks nonsense.

The painter was not assigned to Xishuangbanna as he wished, and was assigned to be a teacher at the Yunnan Art Institute in Kunming. In those days, the distance between Banna and Kunming was even further than the distance between China and the United States today. I clearly remember that it took four days at the fastest by car. A love affair was delayed in this way, but Xishuangbanna became the painter's eternal creative source, inexhaustible. It's a blessing and a disaster.

After waiting for five years, the painter had the opportunity to overcome many difficulties and return to Lanyanba to visit Yujuan.

How can a Dai girl not marry before the age of 20? The painter came to the bamboo house of Yujuan's house. Yujuan sat on the stairs and buried her head deeply in her skirt. She still refused to raise her head to let the painter see her face. She kept murmuring to herself: "Don't look at me. Don't look at me, I don't look good anymore."

The painter is not Duras. He cannot say, "Compared with your beautiful face as a girl, I like your destroyed face far less than today." But. From then on, the painter's pen was out of control. Since Yujuan first appeared in the masterpiece "Paradise", the protagonist of the artist's works has always been a beautiful woman, ever-changing, but no matter how you look at it, it is always just Yujuan.

Thirty-five years after the painter sat on Yujuan’s small bamboo stool, CCTV Yunnan TV finally found Yujuan. Yujuan, who was on the hospital bed, picked up the artist's collection of works brought by the film crew. She turned to the first page and never turned back. Visitors repeatedly turned to the wonderful works at the back to show her, but she always turned back to the first page. ——Photo of the artist himself. This time, the reporters who took the photos had no regrets and everything was captured in the camera.

When the painter's daughter got married, the dowry she asked from her father was this "Paradise" based on Yujuan. The artist spent nearly one million yuan to buy back the work he had sold long ago for his daughter. Among the Chinese painters alive today, the painting with the highest price at auction is "Xishuangbanna", priced at 3.96 million yuan. The artist painted his love for Banna and Yujuan into a dreamlike wonderland.

Yujuan, the painter’s eternal lover; Xishuangbanna, the painter’s eternal lover.
