"I realize you are really thoughtful." When Liu Yushu saw Zhou Zhi using her husband like this, her words became intimate and casual.

"Where are you, Auntie?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "The harder Uncle Fei works, the more Auntie will keep. This is called 'husband and wife work together, and they can cut through gold'."

"Thirty pieces of porcelain is not a small amount." Liu Yushu said to her husband, a manager of art and crafts. He was considered an expert in daily transfers, at least in terms of price.

"It's not much bigger. Didn't you hear what Uncle Fei said? When I bought porcelain from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty a few years ago, this was just an added bonus."

"This time I am bringing plum green, shadow green, doucai, pastel and other beautiful ones. I hope I can exchange them for a better price."

Nowadays, let alone the differences between urban and rural areas, even the differences between cities are very large. In Jiachuan, there are still many families with an income of one hundred yuan a month, but in Shudu, the situation is very different.

So Zhou Zhi spent 20 yuan in Jiachuan to buy a Xuantong imitation Qianlong doucai ink box, and he was afraid that his mother would slap him on the face, but if he wanted to put it in the capital of Shu, it would cost him two to three hundred yuan, a month's salary.

If you are happy with the money, it is not a big deal.

These have a lot to do with consumption levels, consumption levels and consumption habits.

"We've contacted you, let's see the newspaper together tomorrow!" Manager Fei came back happily: "The advertisement will still be published for three days, and Lao Qin of the Commercial Daily's advertising department will still give me face."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Zhi eagerly: "I have done everything I can do for you. Now it's up to you, my uncle, to take care of me."

"How can I take care of my old uncle? Then my aunt has to say something." Zhou Zhi continued to tease.

"I'm still saying the same thing, as for you, buy the elbow with less money; as for Lao Fei, give the elbow the best discount. Leave as much as you can for the sales department, that's all." Liu Yushu was also very angry.

"We have a famous painter named Jiang Zhaohe in Manzhou. Do you have any of his works?" The godfather had been silent until now, and now he suddenly asked.

"Oh, that's right! These are all of you from Manzhou!" Fei Guan slapped his thigh and stood up: "You really reminded me, I remember some big paintings. Just wait..."

"Godfather, who is Jiang Zhaohe?"

"You don't know the name, but you definitely know one thing." Godfather said: ""Refugee Picture", do you know it?"

"This is very familiar. Zheng Xia drew the trigger that led to Wang Anshi's downfall when he was sent to the palace through illegal channels."

"In addition to the "Refugee Picture", there is another one." Godfather said: "From 1941 to 1943, our painter Jiang Zhaohe from Manzhou spent two years using a piece of rubble as the background to paint a vertical

The scroll, which is two meters high and 27 meters wide, depicts more than a hundred images of refugees who suffered from the disaster of war."

The age, scroll, subject matter, background, and duration need not be explained in detail. Zhou Zhi can already imagine the pain and anger of the artist at the time of creation.

"During the creative process, Jiang Zhaohe invited many friends and students to be models. It is said that there are two women hugging and crying in the painting, who are the painter's students. The donkey in the painting was also borrowed from the street and pulled to

Painting in the studio."

"Shanghai was already occupied at that time. In order to prevent enemy interference, Mr. Chiang always painted part of the painting and immediately hid part of it. No one knew what he was creating.

"In order to avoid the eyes and ears, when the "Refugee Picture" exhibition was held, it was deliberately renamed "Group Portrait Picture". As a result, it caused a sensation on the day of the exhibition, with a large number of viewers and a huge impact. Immediately, it was attacked by the Japanese military police, and then

After receiving the ban, it will never be exhibited."

"But the picture scroll has been photographed by the reporters who arrived at the first time, and then it was made into photos and albums, which were distributed across the country. It depicts the tragic situation of the displaced people during the war and records the harm that the invaders brought to the Chinese nation.

The true record of the serious disaster and the huge publicity inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of sharing the same hatred with the enemy."

"I remembered." Zhou Zhi nodded: "In last year's "Chinese Art" color pictorial, there was a picture of "Returning Home". At that time, I thought it was painted by a modern painter because it contained Western anatomy, perspective, block surface and other realistic techniques.

It’s very rich and belongs to a Shanghai-style work that is even more Shanghai-style than the traditional Shanghai-style work.”

"Later I found out that it was created by an old painter in 1945. At that time, I was still thinking that this painter was quite a 'pioneer', but I actually forgot his name. It was Jiang Zhao and Mr. Jiang. It turned out that they were our fellow villagers!"

Although it was a picture album, the painting "Returning Home" also shocked Zhou Zhi greatly at the time.

The painter brought Western perspective techniques into Chinese painting, which greatly enriched the expressive power of Chinese painting characters. Not only did he depict the external image of the characters, he also paid attention to the delicate exploration of the desolate inner feelings of the grandfather and grandson, creating an atmosphere of sadness and helplessness, and venting them.

With the author's sympathy, grief and indignation, and strong artistic appeal, viewers like Zhou Zhi are immediately drawn into that era of poverty and weakness, and people's misery and displacement.

"It's a pity that "Refugee Pictures" was forcibly borrowed after being exhibited in Shanghai for a short period of time, and there was no news from it. It wasn't until 1953 that a painter from the Shanghai Artists Association discovered it from a garbage dump in a basement.

Only half of the "Picture of Refugees" is left, and it is still in ruins and moldy."

"So it was reframed and given to Jiang Zhaohe's widow Xiao Qiong for collection. It was not until 1988 that Ms. Xiao Qiong donated it to the National Art Museum of China for collection."

"Come on, come on." Fei Guan came back with two scrolls of paintings between his arms, and a few more pairs of white gloves on his hands.

Everyone cleared out the large nanmu table in the exhibition hall and then unfolded the scroll.

Zhou Zhi was stunned when he saw it: ""Returning Home" is actually collected in Gongmei?"

"I found that your knowledge system is really fragmented." Fei Guan was speechless: "I know "Returning to the Hometown", but I don't know about "The Refugee Picture". I don't know that the author is Jiang Zhaohe, let alone "Returning to the Hometown".

In Gongmei.”

"Every line is like a mountain. Looking at my knowledge system from the perspective of art, it is true. Accept criticism, accept criticism..." Zhou Zhi murmured to himself while staring straight at the two scrolls in front of him.

Both scrolls are 1.8 meters by 1 meter. One is "Returning Hometown" which Zhou Zhi is already familiar with, and the other is "Second Brother Leaving Sichuan" which Zhou Zhi has never seen before.

Fei Guanzhi saw that Zhou Zhi was entranced and started to introduce directly: "According to statistics, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, more than 42 million working people were forced to flee their homes to avoid the war. After the victory, 30 million refugees in the rear areas were in urgent need of

I hope to return to my hometown and rebuild my homeland."

“Tens of millions of refugees returned to their homeland from west to east, forming an unprecedented mass migration in our country’s modern history. With food, medicine, and transportation all extremely scarce, they moved forward slowly, fearing for their lives.
