Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

More than two weeks passed. On a sunny day, the postman Xiao Ji rode his bicycle to Jiang Weimin's door.

"Jiang Weimin! There is a letter for you, sent from Qingdao." The postman Xiao Ji shouted loudly while standing at the door.

Jiang Weimin, who was painting attentively in the yard, heard the sound, immediately put down the paintbrush in his hand and walked quickly to the door.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Ji!" Jiang Weimin took the letter and a happy smile appeared on his face.

In fact, a week ago, Song Wenqing, president of Qingdao Publishing House, called him.

Tell him that I received a letter from Master Gu Bingxin to Jiang Weimin. Since Master Gu did not know Jiang Weimin's address, he sent it to Song Wenqing.

At that time, Song Wenqing told Jiang Weimin that the letter had been sent to him again and reminded him to check it.

Jiang Weimin has been staying in the yard painting these days, looking forward to the arrival of this letter every day.

He took a look at the envelope and found that it was indeed sent from Qingdao Publishing House.

At this moment, he finally got it.

Jiang Weimin found a quiet corner to sit down, excitedly opened the envelope, carefully took out the letter inside, and began to read it carefully.

In the letter, Master Gu Bingxin spoke highly of Jiang Weimin's "Police Dog Attack" comic series and expressed his great love for this work.

At the same time, he also pointed out some shortcomings in Jiang Weimin's painting skills and put forward valuable suggestions and guidance.

In addition, Master Gu Bingxin also made special mention of the work "Father's War of Resistance", expressing his appreciation for its unique style and innovative spirit, and hoped to understand the original intention of creating this style of painting.

Jiang Weimin was very excited after reading the letter. He felt very honored that Master Gu Bingxin recognized his comic strip.

After all, Master Gu was a master praised even by Premier Zhou.

After Jiang Weimin calmed down, he found a piece of letter paper and prepared to write back to Master Gu. He picked up the pen, and began to write seriously, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

In the letter, Jiang Weimin first expressed his gratitude to Master Gu for his recognition of his works and shared his painting experience over the past two years.

He then described in detail how he drew the comic strip "Father's War of Resistance" based on his father's experience in the War of Resistance against Japan, and how he got inspiration from the movie to come up with this unique painting style - "storyboard".

And explain that storyboards can make the picture richer and more layered by combining storyboards from different angles and shot sizes.

At the same time, he also emphasized that slow motion, as a form of storyboarding, can allow the audience to observe the details and process of actions or events more clearly and meticulously, thereby enhancing the expressiveness and appeal.

Next, Jiang Weimin used specific examples from his sketches to illustrate the application and effects of these two painting forms.

He described in detail how to use storyboards and slow motion to show the emotional changes of characters, the tense atmosphere of battle scenes, etc., making the whole story more vivid and interesting.

Finally, Jiang Weimin expressed his admiration for Master Gu and said that he hoped to learn more painting skills and knowledge from him.

After writing the letter, Jiang Weimin folded it carefully, put it in an envelope and sealed it.

Jiang Weimin took the envelope to the post office and handed it to the staff, hoping that the letter could be delivered to Master Gu as soon as possible.

After sending the letter, Jiang Weimin was full of expectations.

Time passed quickly, and more than a week had passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Jiang Weimin received another letter from Master Gu. He couldn't wait to open the envelope and read it carefully.

In the letter, Master Gu said he was very surprised when he learned that Jiang Weimin was only 15 years old.

But at the same time, he also expressed his appreciation for the talent and enthusiasm shown by Jiang Weimin, and said he was very willing to teach Jiang Weimin painting techniques.

In addition, Master Gu also asked Jiang Weimin in the letter what he thought about the future development of comic strips.

Jiang Weimin pondered for a moment, then picked up a pen and carefully wrote down his views and suggestions on the development of comic strips, and then mailed it to Master Gu.

During the period of correspondence with Master Gu, the Seagull camera that Jiang Weimin bought was brought back from Qingdao.

Jiang Weimin couldn't put it down after he got it. After fiddling with it for a long time, he finally figured out how to use it.

The functions of cameras of this era are relatively simple, and as long as you explore them carefully, you can master their use.

So Jiang Weimin bought more than a dozen rolls of film and took Jiang Yafei and Jiang Yaning around the island to look for beautiful scenery and take pictures.

She took a lot of photos of everyone in the family, especially Angie, so that she could experience the feeling of being a model in advance.

When Ding Xiaoyang was one month old, Jiang Weimin took out his camera and took photos like crazy to record this special moment. Finally, he took a group photo to freeze the happy smiles of the whole family at this moment.

A few days later, Jiang Weimin took back the developed photos, and the whole family sat in the living room, admiring the photos. They felt that it was great to have a camera, but there was no place to put all the photos.

Several days passed after Ding Xiaoyang's full moon.

One morning, after class, An Jie hurriedly found Jiang Weimin and told him that he might not be able to go home to cook at noon.

The school temporarily assigned her a task. An Jie told Jiang Weimin to go directly to the cafeteria to get food after school.

Jiang Weimin's heart moved. He knew that at this point in time, it was very likely that Teacher Xia had come to the island to collect folk songs.

Then began a long-term jealous rivalry between An Jie and Jiang Defu, mainly because Ding Jiqun's ideas were too bad.

Mr. Xia, the painter, is casual and unconcerned with his words and deeds. In the eyes of the world, he inevitably makes people feel that he is a little out of touch with the ways of the world.

Teacher Xia blatantly drew Anjie and praised her. He was already married and had a wife. He picked flowers on the road and sent them to Anjie's office. These things show that Teacher Xia is a person with no sense of boundaries.

But at the same time he is also a very good painter, with an artist's sensitive and unique eyes, who can immediately capture the precious but intangible things in Andrzej.

The reason why An Jie is still as charming and beautiful as ever is actually due to the good protection that Jiang Defu has given her.

Because Jiang Defu gave her a life without worries about food and clothing and a happy spirit, her eyes are still bright and her demeanor is as light as a girl even in her middle age.

An Jie is filled with satisfaction and happiness, just like what Teacher Xia's painting, which was collected by Ding Jiqun, shows.
