Huang Yongyu

Recently, I have become obsessed with Huang Yongyu. Not only did I read his books, but I also viewed many of his paintings online. The standard image of Huang Lao is a pipe, short, thin, red, and smiling.

An old gentleman whom I admire very much is also a legend.

Huang Yongyu said bluntly that life has to be interesting and good, that’s enough!

In addition to sleeping, Huang Yongyu held a pipe in his mouth when walking, sitting or lying down.

This is a poem written by Huang Yongyu, who calls himself "Laozi", to the pipe.

Mr. Huang’s writing is sincere and simple. Reading his books is like drinking a cup of tea. The taste of tea is not "fragrant", or "bitter first and then sweet", or "refreshing to the heart and spleen". It's just ordinary tea, but it makes people feel calmer and calmer the more they drink it.

Huang Yongyu himself said: "I am a person who has suffered Spartan mental torture and training. I am not innocent, I just can withstand the torture. My chest was opened and there were countless wounds."

I was very inspired when I saw such a passage in the article.

"Get up quickly if you fall down, and you can appreciate the pit you made when you fell." In the long road of life, no one can always have smooth sailing, and accidental falls are always inevitable. Faced with difficulties, some people simply lie there and cry, but what can tears change? Unless you are a soybean, crying and accidentally turning yourself into a bean sprout! Otherwise, tears will neither become a ladder to help you climb up nor a pie falling from the sky. A smart person will swallow his tears, stand up with gritted teeth, dust off his clothes, and wave to some people who are watching and waiting to see the joke. Next, if you can appreciate the pit you made when you fell, it will be another higher realm. ”

All living beings like us should find something we like to do outside eight hours. It can be reading and writing, planting flowers and grass, or traveling, music and food. It doesn’t matter what you do. The important thing is that it can improve our taste in life and cultivate our souls. With such support, there will be a lot less complaints in life, and every day can become so fulfilling.

Huang Yongyu. Self-taught in art and literature, he is a generation of "ghosts". He can be called a wonder of anthropology. He was born in a generous manner, wandering around freely, thinking unobstructed, acting unobstructed, and doing whatever he wanted throughout his life.

Huang Yongyu. In his autobiography, he said: “Cousin Congwen’s many memories seem to be decorated with flowers and full of the fragrance of friendship. He is not like me, and I will never learn from him. I sometimes curse with great emotion and hate all assholes. He has a clear distinction between right and wrong, but he is more tolerant, which is why he can write so many novels. I couldn't do it, so I became angry and even tore up the manuscript paper. Throwing it on the ground and trampling it will not relieve the anger. But we are all children raised in the soil and water of our hometown. "

Shen Congwen's articles do not have a trace of worldly filth, they are fresh and natural, while Huang Yongyu's writing always has a hint of gangsterism, but it is the kind of fresh gangsterism, such as "You are all too serious. , I have no choice but to grow old and be dishonest."

Huang Yongyu has a wide range of friends, and he even has many friends you can't imagine, such as Hong Kong songwriter Huang Zhan. Huang Zhan will always remember some of Huang Yongyu's words - For example, when Huang Zhanzheng was in a state of embarrassment, he broke up with Lin Yanni, his investment in the film company failed, he was heavily in debt, and he was homeless. Many people did not dare to talk to him, but Huang Yongyu came to comfort him in a very special way: " What's the point of falling out of love? You have to understand the poetry of falling out of love! "Huang Zhan said, this is bullshit. He would hang himself when he is heartbroken. How can he still be poetic?!

Reporter "Why don't you use a computer to draw?"

Huang Yongyu: "Electrical appliances Here, what I use most skillfully is a flashlight."

Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, and Huang Yongyu, "the number one artist in contemporary Chinese painting" are both known as Hunan's business card to the world, but they don't know each other.

Reporter: "What do you think of Mr. Yuan Longping?"

Huang Yongyu: "Yuan Longping is a real scientist. Once during a meeting, I passed by him, but I didn't know that he was Yuan Longping. Later someone told me that I took a few more glances at him."

Bai Yansong once mentioned a painting by Huang Yongyu in an article. In that painting, Huang Yongyu painted a bird and wrote a few words next to it: "Birds are good birds, but they talk a lot."

If you want to cherish your feathers, you must know , on some occasions, your silence is actually a deep respect for yourself.

At the age of 83, Huang Yongyu appeared on the cover of "Mr. Esquire". This old man who likes to build houses, raise famous dogs, drive red sports cars, and collects nearly a thousand pipes has become the oldest Mr. Fashion in history.

85-year-old Huang Yongyu said, "The world has grown up, and I am getting old too." This sentence reveals a sense of unwillingness and dissatisfaction, as if he is complaining that he has not had enough fun with the world.

At the age of 93, he has lived his life as a free and easy-going man with true temperament, and has become a "all-round genius and a swinger" in the eyes of everyone. The dialogue about how he chased his wife is a classic.

Huang Yongyu also recalled the first time he met his wife Zhang Meixi. He was so nervous for a long time that he came up with a sentence, which also had the charm of a joker - "I have a hundred catties of food stamps, do you want it?"

In order to catch up with his wife, Huang Yongyu considers himself to have no money and no appearance, so he only plays the trumpet downstairs all day long to show his love. One day, he finally couldn't bear it any longer, so a conversation like this happened:

Huang Yongyu: "What would you do if someone loved you?"

Zhang Meixi: "It depends. Who is it?"

Huang Yongyu: "That's me."

Zhang Meixi: "Okay."

He suffered endlessly. Give life countless sweetness. During the period of being criticized, their family lived in a dark little house. Zhang Meixi's health became worse and worse. In order to cheer her up, Huang Yongyu painted a large window more than two meters wide on the wall. Wild flowers were blooming outside the window. , sunny. Even though he was beaten and paraded on the street, he still said cheerfully, "As long as you live, the story will not end. Although the window is beautiful, it will always be a transition."

He and his wife explained to the world what it means to love only one person in a lifetime. He was imprisoned in the cowshed and whipped 224 times. He was beaten to a bloody pulp and his wife cried to death. He quickly comforted her and wrote a love poem "Wife! Don't Cry." Whether it is painting or his wife, he always sticks to it.

And in the eyes of Ms. Zhang Meixi, what does her husband Huang Yongyu mean? He is a "little scalper" and a "wandering man from Wuchou River".

In addition to drawing and writing articles, I just read books. I don’t have to read. I read whatever books I like, including Laozi, Zhuangzhou, and The God of Ma Yi. As an old man, the secret to not having a miserable life is to read according to my own interests. There are only two kinds of books in the world: interesting and uninteresting. The argument of beneficial and harmful is unreliable. It is beneficial at this time, but harmful at another time.

What’s special about me is that I have a wide range of interests. I even like children's paintings, Chinese, foreign and African, I like them all. I also like music, including classical music, modern music, Shanxi Bangzi, and northwest ditties. I like them all.

I like European and American modern music, including pop music. From the early Elvis, to the Beatles, to later Simon, I like them all. A friend of mine, Zhao Feng, the dean of the Conservatory of Music, doesn’t like modern music. I said, have you ever seen the score written by the Beatles? That score doesn't look simple, its melody, rhythm, and orchestration are very sophisticated.

Truly excellent art cannot be dismissed or belittled casually. People who appreciate art

The end of the article: "A lifetime of freshness and a lifetime of fun" should be the most appropriate description of Huang Yongyu.
