A teahouse, a workbench, and the works around you are "a different kind of cool environment, a life of painting and calligraphy." Mr. Li said that his studio was the place where he practiced. "As far as Qigong is concerned, calligraphy and painting are static exercises, just like Taiji, which can nourish people's hearts for a long time," Mr. Li said. Chinese studies can cultivate people's temperament and is the best way to keep fit. "Because I was influenced and taught by my uncle and famous painter Sun Wenbin, I have a strong interest in Chinese painting. But I couldn't make a living by painting before, so I finally chose to study economic management. " After graduation, Mr. Li 1989 went to work in a bank for fifteen years. During this period, he continued to create and often communicated with painters such as his uncle. His works won prizes in national, provincial and municipal painting and calligraphy competitions. What surprised the reporter most was that such an economist was also a member of Guangdong Artists Association and Guangdong Calligraphers Association. Now he is a director of Foshan Artists Association and Foshan Calligraphers Association. Li Shijie introduced that in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century, people's pursuit of art became more and more intense, and many people bought famous works for collection at home. "Painting and opening a gallery can also support myself, so I can safely retire and pursue my dream for many years."
In 2005, the famous cartoonist Liao set up the Liao Foundation in Guangzhou to raise funds through auction works and donate them to teachers and students in poor mountainous areas. "Liao's spirit has always infected me," Mr. Li said. He once visited Liao Lao, but I didn't expect a generation of artists to live in such a humble house and use their necessary savings to develop art and help the poor. Mr. Li was very moved and donated many paintings and calligraphy to the foundation for charity sale. "I am also going to build a painting and calligraphy auction foundation." Red carp is exquisite and popular * * * Award
There is a huge oil painting hanging on the wall, and the whole painting is full of red carp, a red scene; A stack of new works on the table is also red carp. Yesterday afternoon, when the reporter came to Li Shijie's studio in Guicheng Cultural Center, he was engrossed in painting red carp.
"During the National Day, I found that red flags fluttered everywhere, which was very peaceful. It is also found that at present, most painters only paint koi fish in Japan, but less red carp in their own country. " On a whim, Li Shijie decided to create red carp with the brush in his hand. "I hope that through this bright red, life will be richer every year."
In order to draw this red carp well, Li Shijie realized the painting method of "One Rod Fish" from his teacher Pan He's "One Rod Crane". After many exercises, we have created more mature red carp works.
Mr. Li Zhanhua, Chairman of Guangdong Collectors Association, after reading his red carp works, commented that it is an innovative practice to draw the fish body by "deboning" to show the strength of the fish. "Carp yue longmen, lucky strike, fish (surplus) every year, all of which are the embodiment of harmonious thought, which appeals to both refined and popular tastes."
Li Shijie is also good at painting peonies, and is known as the "Peony King" in Lingnan painting circles. His peony flower also became the "protagonist" in the New Year postcard issued by China Post Office in 2007.

As a special painter of the Central Academy of Chinese Painting, he is very keen on social welfare undertakings.
In 2005, the famous cartoonist Liao set up the Liao Foundation in Guangzhou to auction works to raise money for teachers and students in poor mountainous areas. Li Shijie immediately donated some paintings and calligraphy to the Foundation for charity sale. After that, he took out his paintings for charity sale many times, and all the proceeds were donated to those in need.
"With a passionate red heart, he constantly creates works with a pure heart." Mr. Wang, an old neighbor who has known him for more than ten years, was once called a "red painter". "Society needs such an enthusiastic painter."
Li Shijie has been very interested in painting and calligraphy since childhood, and is now a member of the Provincial Painting and Calligraphy Association.

Pan He's doyen created The Fisherwoman and Hard Times, and Li Shijie also collected his sculptures, paintings and calligraphy. Recently, in cooperation with another Foshan collector, Xiao Hu, he opened a personal treasure exhibition hall in Guicheng to collect works by famous artists such as Pan He and Huang.

To show his support, Pan He visited the museum in June 165438+ 10/3 and asked them to draw a picture in front of him.
Li Shijie felt nervous and excited at that time, acting like a pupil in front of the teacher. When a painting of an endless "Xiantao" was painted, Master Pan He pointed out at a glance that I was a Shanghai painter, and suggested that Li Shijie continue to hone his brushwork to make it more vigorous. Then, he wrote an inscription and signed Li Shijie's painting to show his encouragement.
