Qi Baishi was born in poverty. After studying in a private school for less than a year, he put down his books and cut firewood to supplement his family. 15 years old, became an apprentice carpenter, first learned rough carpentry, then learned carving carpentry, painted portraits at the age of 26, and painted poems at the age of 27, and embarked on an artistic road. After that, he left his hometown to make a living in other places. As early as he 12 years old, his parents married poor girl Chen Chunjun as a child bride. Chen Chunjun is one year older than Qi Baishi. As soon as she entered the family, the girl helped her mother-in-law cook and wash clothes, and she kept on from morning till night, winning the favor of the whole family. When Qi Baishi 19 years old, his parents consummated the marriage with Chen Chunjun and formally got married.

Chen Chunjun attaches great importance to Hu Baozhu. She has been to Beijing three times in more than 20 years. Although she hurried back to Hunan every time, she got along well with Hu Baozhu, and Hu Baozhu would never forget her manners wherever she went. /kloc-in the spring of 0/940, Chen Chunjun died in Changsha at the age of 79. Recalling the life of husband and wife for more than 60 years, the old man Baishi is very sad. He recalled: "Chunjun came to my home from 13 years old, suffering from poverty and never complaining. I sold paintings in Beiping for a living and traveled in the north, and I traveled three times without hesitation. After more than 60 years together, although there is Ganges sand, it is hard to say that they are a poor couple. Once I die, I feel deeply sad, want to cry, and my heart is broken. " He made a pair of elegiac couplets: "Complaining about the old man with red rope, because he is a husband and wife, why should people leave?" Ask the black-faced king, Lord, I live and die, regardless of reunion. "

After Chen Chunjun's death, the old man Baishi decided to help Hu Baozhu as the hall master. On May 4th 194 1, he invited more than 20 relatives and friends in Beijing to testify on the spot. He solemnly announced that "Hu's Baozhu was established as the main room", and more than 20 relatives and friends present signed and sealed it. In front of their children and grandchildren, he approved the genealogy: "In the future, it will be called the second room." Hu Baozhu is responsible for the actions of the old man Baishi. An old man has few wives. Once he is a hundred years later, Hu Baozhu will have a birthright, so that he can have a support and support in his old age. Unexpectedly, Hu Baozhu failed to accompany the old man Baishi all his life. 194165438+February, Hu Baozhu died at the age of 44, and his wife lost contact again in her later years, which was a great blow to the 83-year-old Baishi. He said: "I want to protect her in the year of candles, and I will take care of everything behind her." Unexpectedly, she died in middle age, why not? "

The old man Baishi loves his two wives so much in his life that both wives are willing to accompany the kind and loyal old man Baishi through his life. It was they who helped the old man get rid of his worries and achieved the great cause of his life. Future generations should remember the two ordinary women behind the old man when watching his masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
