Every ordinary person is the god of friendship.

Author: Duan Qiqing

That year, Van Gogh came to arles from Paris. How he wants to have some friends! But he is poor, even drinking a bowl of soup is extravagant and impossible, even if he wants someone to model for him.

One Sunday, Van Gogh went out of the city as usual and came to a large wheat field to sketch or draw some landscape paintings to prevent himself from always being hungry. At the same time, he stubbornly and persistently experimented with his brush strokes and colors. After painting some landscape paintings, the sun has been slanting on the wheat field. At this time, a man in a blue uniform and covered with golden sunshine came to Van Gogh. "Hello, Sir! The sun is poisonous these days. You should wear a hat! " People greeted him warmly and said.

Van Gogh knew that he was a country postman, and his name was Lu Lang. These days, Lu Lang passes by Van Gogh almost every day, and after greeting him, he will stop to talk. "Hello, Mr. Lu Lang!" Van Gogh smiled and said, "It's nice to be closer to the sun without a hat!" Van Gogh's humor strengthened Lulan Tan Xing. He pointed to the wheat field just painted on Van Gogh's canvas and said politely, "Your wheat field is painted like a living thing!" " Then, pointing to the sinking sunset and the flames in the trees, he said, "It's like a living thing, don't you think?"

Van Gogh couldn't help but be surprised: "This is really good, simple and profound!" The more they talked, the more excited they became. From painting to god, Lu Lang said, "Now god seems to be more and more incredible. God only exists in the wheat field you painted, but in real life, God will ... "

The two chatted until the sun set and the dazzling Venus began to hang in the sky. Van Gogh suddenly discovered that this father, who had been a postman for 25 years, had never been promoted, and was raising four children with a meager salary of 135 francs per month. His heart is as rich as a wheat field and as bright and beautiful as the sky!

Van Gogh said, "Mr. Lu Lang, can I draw a portrait for you?" Lu Lang readily agreed, just saying, "I'm honored, but I'm ugly. Why draw me? " Van Gogh said happily, "If there is a God, I think he must have the same beard and eyes as you." Lu Lang smiled happily, even the wheat seedlings around him seemed to follow him.

From then on, Van Gogh had models and friends.

Later, Lu Lang often invited Van Gogh to his home, and Van Gogh also painted portraits of Mrs. Lu Lang. Later, Lu Lang was transferred to the post office in Marseille, and the two often went back and forth. Their friendship is as eternal, warm and clear as the sun in Al.

For a time, Van Gogh fell ill and was admitted to St. Remy's mental hospital. Ivy Lu goes to the hospital every day after work. He not only sent some nutrients to Van Gogh, but also brought some sunshine words, which made Van Gogh's heart gradually bright and beautiful. When Van Gogh was discharged from the hospital, Lu Lang took time out of his busy schedule to go through the discharge formalities for Van Gogh and take him home by carriage.

Van Gogh painted six portraits of Lu Lang. The most famous one is the postman Mr. Lu Lang, painted on 1888. Lu Lang wore a blue uniform, a black hook, a long golden beard and golden buttons on the uniform, which shone bright and gentle. This oil painting is now in the Boston Art Museum, and it is included in almost all Van Gogh's albums. People regard Mr. Lu Lang, the postman, not only as a masterpiece of Van Gogh's portrait, but also as a symbol of their friendship, and will always relish this friendship story.

Yes, in just 37 years, Van Gogh experienced more than a happy life. The postman Lu Lang is undoubtedly a bright color in his life. This "God" who appeared as an ordinary person, that simple and pure emotion, made Van Gogh gain a happy friendship, and also injected his life and artistic strength, which was contained in the hardships and self-esteem of the people at the bottom. It was like God's self-esteem, like seeds scattered in the soil and sunshine moving in the clouds. Fresh and natural, priceless!

Every ordinary person is God. As long as we can truly understand that they are the gods in our friendly hearts, we can also gain immortal friendship that exudes the fragrance of wheat fields and shines like the sun.

: Qi Yi's painting life

Cong was born in a small village in Yimeng Mountain area. 14 years old, bad luck came quietly, and I accidentally hurt my left leg. Because the family was poor, there was no timely treatment, which led to wound infection, and finally the left leg had to be amputated at a high position.

For Cong, who was still a student at that time, all his beautiful dreams were shattered in an instant by the muffled thunder falling from the sky. He has been upset, angry and disappointed, but upset, angry and disappointed? Reality is reality after all, and life goes on. He choked back his grief, swallowed his tears, and secretly vowed in his heart: a man can't bow to fate.

During the period of amputation in bed, Cong Guilan tried painting, trying to soothe her long-term sadness and inner loneliness through painting. Unable to afford painting materials, Cong Guilan started with the simplest chalk and charcoal and the simplest brushstrokes. Without a teacher, you have the right to be both a teacher and a student. After a period of exploration, Cong seems to have mastered some painting skills and even drawn what it looks like. At this point, painting opened a window to his soul.

At the age of 2l, faced with the poverty of his family and his mother's hard work for him all day, Cong, who is strong in nature, chose a wandering life. He wants to be an "art beggar". He paints with his own hands, chalk and charcoal on the roadside, bringing beauty to others and earning some money to support himself. So he went on his way with simple luggage and double coffins.

This choice, for Cong, itself means the beginning of the challenge of suffering. With one leg, Cong Guilan traveled all over China and more than 20 provinces, cities and autonomous regions such as Xinjiang, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei. He also left his own chalk drawings and characters on the streets of the city, which attracted some people to stop and watch more or less. Of course, on the way, he suffered too much, lived in the road, bridge opening, the waiting room of the station, and was robbed and beaten by thugs.

Cong can endure all these physical pains, but some people's indifference still hurts his mind to some extent. Once it rained heavily, he stopped a taxi and came one after another, but when he saw him, he didn't seem to see it and suddenly passed. A kind-hearted man stopped a car for him, and it was only three stops to the cheap rental house he rented, but the driver asked him to pay 100 yuan. On another occasion, he accidentally injured his mandible badly and his blood flowed down. After a while, he became a bloody person. After being sent to the hospital by a kind person, the surgeon in charge of his operation actually asked him: Do you have money? A href ='' target =' _ blank'> Zinc planting, thumb and sole? Not good? Thank you, Gou Yongling? Cooking? Hey? Hey? Driving slowly? What about chlorine? /p & gt；

As long as the weather permits, Cong will set up stalls in the street to paint, day after day, year after year. When the weather doesn't allow, he will visit local museums and watch art exhibitions to improve his artistic accomplishment. In the evening, he devoted himself to reading and studying. He read Hegel's Logic, History of Western Art, A Brief History of Foreign Art and so on. He also studies foreign languages as much as possible. Now, he can say simple greetings from seven countries.

In this way, Cong spent 27 years. 27 years, for history, is only a moment, but for a person's life, it is definitely not a flick of a finger. I can imagine the sufferings of Gui Lan for 27 years. I think it is no exaggeration to describe Tolstoy's "three times of water immersion, three times of blood washing and three times of cooking with alkaline water" in the course of suffering. This kind of suffering did not crush the mountain crowd, but created his more and more perfect chalk paintings and figures. On April 26th, 2009, Cong, who was wandering in Wuhan, drew the attention of a photographer named "Four Leaves Unknown" while painting on the street of Zhongnan Road. He filmed his Mona Lisa for 30 minutes and posted it on Youku. It quickly caused a huge sensation on the Internet, with more than 6.5438+million hits, more than 500,000 top posts and more than 20 comments. For a time, Cong Guilan was known as the "Youku Niu Ren". Netizens were not only shocked by his paintings, but also impressed by his spirit of self-improvement.

On the eve of the National Day in 2009, Cong painted on the Badaling Great Wall with the help of "Four Leaves Unknown", realizing his dream of offering gifts for the 60th anniversary of the founding of New China. While painting, he sang My China Heart, which attracted the attention and admiration of many Chinese and foreign tourists. His six chalk paintings, New Life-founding ceremony, Shout-Two Bombs and One Star, Turning Point-Reform and Opening-up, Reunion-Return of Hong Kong and Macao, Rise-Olympic Games and the Flying Dragon, reproduce the elegance of great men such as * * *. The Great Wall Museum said on the spot that it would collect these six paintings and display them during the National Day.

Cong Guilan recently created a chalk painting "Eagle" with a poem on it, which expressed his heart: "The eagle has broken its wings and yearns for the blue sky. The whale ran aground on the barren beach, longing for the ocean. I hope to walk into the campus of the Academy of Fine Arts, even if my leg is broken, because I am also a citizen of China, and the punctuation on my ID card is no less than others. Paul abroad? Kochagin, Zhang Haidi of China, stands tall in front of me like a mountain. Support me, my friend. " 20 10 Cong has completed the turning point of painting life, and is no longer "begging for art", learning from a master of chalk painting in Luoyang. We expect him to achieve greater success.

In the elevator, Tang Jun gave me enough face.

Author: Bao Gu

David, who works at the top of Microsoft China, once told a friend that his present achievement is closely related to an encounter in an elevator. Then, he told this short story that happened shortly after he entered the company:

I was chasing a girl. But the girl knew that I was only a salesman at the bottom of the company, so she hesitated to associate with me. I know what that girl is thinking. It's not that she doesn't like my position, but she can't see my career development prospects. In order to dispel her doubts, I intend to take her to the "exploration class" to see my working environment.

After work that day, after dinner, we walked towards Microsoft. It was past 9 o'clock when I arrived at the company, and my colleagues were basically off work. Unexpectedly, when taking the elevator, we actually met Mr. Tang Jun, the president of the company!

I'm nervous and the atmosphere is awkward-the salesman at the bottom took the elevator with the president and brought a female friend! So I have been hesitant to say hello to the president after entering the elevator. Unexpectedly, Mr. Tang Jun actually broke the silence first. He said, "David, how is your work recently?" How is the project going between you and ICBC? "

I didn't expect the president of Microsoft China to call me by my name. Not only that, he also knows my position and my work. I greeted him first, and then answered his two questions incoherently. Mr. Tang Jun listened with a smile and occasionally interrupted a sentence or two. When the elevator arrived, he even patted me on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, David, come on!" " "All this was seen by the girl standing beside me.

I was very happy when I came out of the company that day. But at the same time, I began to worry a little: that girl would definitely not want to associate with me, because I was completely speechless in the elevator just now. Unexpectedly, just out of the company gate, the girl said to me very seriously: let's get together from tomorrow!

Hearing this, my friend couldn't help asking, "I wish the girl would agree to associate with you." But what does all this have to do with your current position? " David smiled and said, "Of course it has a lot to do with it. Do you know why that girl agreed to go out with me? " At that time, she said, "David, the president of your company knows you so well. It seems that you have been paid attention to by the top management of the company. I can imagine how big your future development space is. " So, she became my girlfriend, and then, naturally, she became my wife now.

David added: "In the elevator that year, although Mr. Tang Jun only had a brief talk with me, he gave me enough face and showed the company's concern for me. Because of this simple sentence, my prospective girlfriend approved me and I began to feel confident. Afterwards, I learned that in fact, Mr. Tang Jun is so concerned about every employee of the company. He can not only call out my name, but also the names of more than 2000 other employees in the company. So, I know that I, as well as all the employees of Microsoft, are being closely watched by the company. You say, working in such a people-oriented company, why is my potential still hidden in my bones and not stimulated? So, after that, I have been working hard and working hard. Then, there is me today. "
