I want to recommend a book to you, which has a beautiful name:
As flat as a beautiful pond.
With poetic words, illustrations and collages, the author Rao conveyed his thoughts about his wife Mei Tang, recalled their life, the memory of an ordinary China family for 60 years, and also recorded the most beautiful and wonderful spiritual world of China people.
In the five years after Mei Tang's death, Mr. Rao hand-painted 65,438+08 volumes of paintings to express his grief, and drew many images of his wife's girlhood and even childhood. Small paintings in the style of Feng Zikai, accompanied by poems or words written or rewritten by himself, were compiled into a book to make people move.
"Live and die together, share weal and woe, care for each other, and grow old if there is love; After three years of seclusion, my heart was broken when I asked silently. Acacia began to feel that the sea was not deep. " This is a sentence written by Mr. Rao Ruping, squeezed on the title page of the album. As he said, this is why he paints.
This is the story of ordinary people, and it is precisely because it is so ordinary and beautiful that people can be moved for a long time!
Chai Jing once asked him on the show, "You are 90 years old. You haven't polished this thing for so long? " Grandpa replied: "Smooth? How can you say it can be polished and leveled? Love the world for a long time, this is forever. "
In another program, Rao Ruping laughed and said that he "sang an 18-year-old song at the age of 90", and the melodious harmonica sound returned to that era with jumping thoughts in the pages; Of course, there was a hard time after the Republic.
Believe in love, maybe it will come back to life again in this book!
