Chapter 517 The Voice of the Times
The celebrity lecture hall of Hui University is the most participant activity. In the past, those who came here were all well-known academic experts, celebrities from all walks of life, and of course, there were also previous Hui University alumni. As for Zhong Yue's speech, they obviously belonged to the special kind of person. Of course, this period of the celebrity lecture hall was still popular, and the entire venue was filled with people, and some later students even sat on the steps. Such a hot scene was generally only the popularity of some well-known people.
Zhong Yue was also a little surprised to see so many people in the backstage. He didn't expect that the students would be so enthusiastic. It caused a lot of sensation at Huizhou University because of him. It seems that so long has passed, and the power of the "chicken chop tycoon" back then was still as powerful as that time.
"Today, we invited an alumnus from Hui University. He is the spokesperson of Hui Mo today. The little lacquer industry he created has become the leader in the ink industry in just a few years. He is also the inheritor of our Chinese calligraphy and painting. You must be familiar with the sensational "Zhong Family Letter". Okay, let us welcome him grandly, Mr. Zhong Yue, the president of the East China Youth Artists Alliance."
Zhong Yue walked out and the scene was filled with warm applause.
"Is this senior Zhong Yue? So handsome."
"I heard that I just graduated, I am so young and promising."
Zhong Yue swept his eyes below, walked slowly to the podium, coughed twice, and laughed: "Facing with classmates who have eaten, drink and have fun, this is probably the most nervous time I have been on stage."
A burst of laughter suddenly came from below, and was moved by Zhong Yue's humorous opening.
"We got back to the point. I feel very honored that our principal invited me to give this speech, because I was able to talk about some of the things I have experienced on the road of calligraphy and painting art in the past few years at my alma mater, facing my former classmates and teachers, and telling me some of the things I have experienced in the art of calligraphy and painting over the past few years. This should be a meaningful sharing.
This is an era of diversity. In this era, science and technology concepts and traditional culture have collided and blended, and we have more choices and ideals. Speaking of calligraphy and painting art, many people here may think that these are not elegant arts that ordinary people will come into contact with. If I should go to the Huizhou Academy of Fine Arts next door to talk about these contents, then everyone is wrong.
Most calligraphers in history did not want to become calligraphers, and they were engaged in this ancient art with this purpose. They all had their own professions like everyone else, some were officials, some were landlords, and some were monks. However, they might be writing memorials; perhaps they were entertaining guests and recording banquets; perhaps they were inadvertently completing masterpieces that had been passed down through the ages while copying scriptures.
Our neighboring country may be the country where you have heard that I have the most things. The number of people in contact with calligraphy is far more than us. This ancient art has penetrated into the true Chinese culture in their country. This is the true inheritance, not on the surface.
The reason why we set up the East China Youth Artists Alliance is precisely because of this reason. Our young generation wants to change the current trend of the domestic calligraphy and painting industry. Everyone is a calligrapher and a Chinese painter. Such a cardinal awareness must be deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese. These require our unremitting efforts and struggle!”
There was a burst of applause from the audience, and everyone was infected by Zhong Yue's non-greasy and master's style of carrying a tripod.
"Do you have any questions to senior Zhong Yue?"
Many people raised their hands off the court.
"Okay, this classmate, yes, it's you, this male classmate wearing a white and blue plaid."
"Senior Zhong Yue, I would like to ask, can anyone of any professional participate in this East China Youth Artists Alliance?"
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you are keen on art professions related to calligraphy and painting, you can register. We will have relevant assessments. Generally, if you don't have any foundation, you will learn the art you like for free in the form of sunshine volunteers."
"Will Senior Zhong Yue participate in the teaching?"
Zhong Yue paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course. I will devote myself to the education of calligraphy and painting with a more enthusiastic attitude."
There was another warm applause from the audience.
"This classmate."
"Thank you, Senior Zhong Yue, why do you want to build such an union-like alliance? Is it any special significance?"
Zhong Yue smiled slightly and nodded, "There are many masters in this era. The reason why I have strengthened my belief step by step to create such an alliance is because of the continuous support and encouragement of a group of masters. Therefore, the development of calligraphy to this day is not a contribution of one person, but the crystallization of countless calligraphers who have passed down from generation to generation over the past thousand years, such as Chinese paintings and seal making."
"So, will our calligraphy and Chinese painting crush oil paintings?"
Zhong Yue smiled and said, "There is only more brilliant and brilliant in art. As for crushing, do you think there is a delicious saying between apples and pears, but do you really put them together? We promote calligraphy not to compare with anyone, nor to how to crush the art of other nations, but to continue to carry forward the inheritance of our nation!"
Applause came one after another in the venue.
"Zhong Yue, leave a piece of ink treasure to commemorate this important moment."
Looking at the four treasures of the study that had been prepared, Zhong Yue knew that he could not escape, so he picked up a pen and dipped it in the ink disc, and wrote: "Continue the past and open the future and move forward."
This sentence is not only a summary of this speech, but also a self-warning for Zhong Yue to go long in the future. This does not know the end, but also the starting point of the journey.
"Okay, good words! In this way, Zhong Yue, the leaders of the college will go out for a meal and discuss the matters about implementing this alliance. What do you think?"
Zhong Yue put down his pen and smiled and said, "No. I have just come back not long ago. I want to have dinner with my family tonight and want to go back."
"That's it, let's make an appointment another day." The head of the academy affairs officer smiled embarrassedly.
Zhong Yue looked at Huida under the twilight. Four years ago, he was also standing in this place, looking forward to the future. Now, with dreams and consents in his arms, how far can this artist's cradle go?
He cannot give an answer to this question, because with the efforts of a generation, nothing may be possible, but as Liu Shao'e said, someone must do it.
See yourself, see heaven and earth, and see sentient beings.
Zhong Yue stood under the sunset, and the setting sun pulled his figure into a slanting length...
