Huang Miaozi was born in a scholarly family, and his grandfather Huang Shaochang was a juren in the late Qing Dynasty. Guangzhou Guangya Academy (the highest institution in Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty), which was founded by Zhang Zhidong, taught lyrics. Father Huang Lengguan graduated from normal school, but he worked in the press, was keen on social activities and advocated revolution. He was a member of the League founded by Sun Yat-sen. 1926, Huang Lengguan founded Hong Kong Zhonghua Middle School and became an important figure in the history of modern education in Hong Kong.
19 13, Huang Miaozi was born in this family with profound cultural traditions and innovative ideas. Among the 13 brothers and sisters in this family, Huang Miaozi ranks fifth.
In the eyes of Huang Miaozi's brothers and sisters, my father is a very strict person. But for Huang Miaozi, his father's love for culture and his cultural circle in Hong Kong have benefited him a lot all his life.
/kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he came into contact with the weekly Shanghai Comics, which was edited by Ye and attended by several leading figures in the comic industry at that time, and opened a door for his world to create comics. Shanghai, a distant and unfamiliar city, is familiar and kind to Huang Miaozi because of animation.
Huang Miaozi thinks that only drawing cartoons is worth his effort, and the interesting things around him can only be reflected in cartoons. Later, with the encouragement of Lingnan painter Huang Banruo and others, he began to draw cartoons for Hong Kong's White Bone Newspaper and Guangzhou's Half-Corner Comics. You need an alias to contribute to the newspaper. Huang Banruo advised him: Your nickname "Cat Boy", except for two radicals, isn't "Miao Zi" a ready-made pen name? Since then, the reputation of "Huang Miaozi" has become louder and louder.
1929, the cartoon magic created by Huang Miaozi 16 years old was selected for the Hong Kong Art Exhibition. He sent his work to Shanghai Comics, but soon after it was published, he received a reply from the cartoonist Ye. Huang Miaozi was overjoyed, which made him like comics even more. He yearned for Shanghai infinitely.
My father strongly opposes Huang Miaozi drawing cartoons. 193 1 10 In October, Huang Miaozi graduated from Zhonghua Middle School and was sent by his father to Hong Kong Huaren College to study English, which made him miserable.
193 1 year1October, Huang Miaozi celebrated his18th birthday. As if overnight, he felt that he had really grown up and should go his own way, and Shanghai was his destination. In the second year, Huang Miaozi asked a friend to buy a boat ticket to Shanghai with the payment for going to the editorial department in person, and boarded a long-distance ship.
After learning that Huang Miaozi had run away from home, his father Huang Lengguan immediately sent a telegram to Wu Tiecheng, then the mayor of Shanghai, asking him to take good care of his son. Wu Tiecheng is an important member of the Kuomintang. He arranged for Huang Miaozi to work in the Shanghai Municipal Government. Huang Miaozi did not formally join the Kuomintang, but because of his father, he became a senior civil servant of the Kuomintang government. Huang Miaozi is in officialdom and his heart is in the art world. He met cartoonists such as Ye, Hua, Zhang Leping. He often contributed to Time, a comic magazine sponsored by Ye and others, and later joined Companion as an editor. Huang Miaozi's talent, knowledge and activity ability have left a deep impression on people in the art circle, especially in the comic circle. He has published comic works in Life magazine, Liangyou Pictorial, Times Comics and Shanghai Comics, and organized comic activities with Ye and others.
The novel was first published in May, 1934, and was revised from the third issue to a large format. Also from the third issue, Huang Miaozi's name appeared in the "Editor" column of the copyright page, and from this issue (No.19) to the end, most of the cover paintings were painted by Huang Miaozi (another issue was painted by Liang Bobo, Duan Peng and Du Wei). Because it is a color cover, plus a wide format and strong visual temptation, it completely shows the Shanghai style. Huang Miaozi's signature painted on the cover is very special. The word "Tian" is sandwiched between the two halves of the "grass prefix" and written horizontally. This signature method was very popular at that time.
In addition to publishing works in major comic magazines, Huang Miaozi has also written many theoretical and exploratory articles and critical articles. In 1930s, there were many famous essays and comic books by Lu Xun, Hu Feng, Feng Zikai, Yu Dafu, Mao Dun and Ye Shengtao, among which Huang Miaozi's My Comics-A Scary Topic. 1936 or so, Xia Yan's drama "The Golden Flower" was staged, and Huang Miaozi followed Ye He to sketch in the background of the performance, thus knowing party member, a native of * *, and later became a bosom friend. Speaking of it, Xia Yan not only influenced Huang Miaozi's life trend, but also contributed to the happy marriage between Huang Miaozi and his wife Yu Feng.
In 1930s, there was a "Comic Club" on Joffrey Avenue in Shanghai, which was organized by Shanghai cartoonists, and cartoonists often met there. It was in this club that Huang Miaozi met the writer Yu Dafu and his niece Yu Feng. Ryan was born in Fuyang, Zhejiang, and 19 16 was born in Beijing. When I first met Huang Miaozi, Ryan graduated from Beiping Art College majoring in oil painting and just moved from Beiping to Shanghai with his family.
Every time Yu Dafu goes to Shanghai from Hangzhou, Shao will call her and ask her out for dinner and chat. Shao is the "Meng Changjun of Literature" in Shanghai. The Times Bookstore he founded brought together famous cartoonists such as Zhang, Ye and Lu. Huang Miaozi will go to Time Book Company to play with these young artists when he is free. In this artistic atmosphere, Huang Miaozi and Ryan gradually became familiar with each other.
The good times didn't last long, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out. 1April, 937, Huang Miaozi came to Guangzhou. Ryan is now a cartoon illustrator for The Wang Jiu Journal. Guo Moruo is the nominal president of Wang Jiu Daily, and Xia Yan is the actual organizer. Shanghai stock market fell1937165438+10/0/2 1. Yu Feng went to Hongkong first, and then went to Guangzhou to participate in the reissue of Wang Jiu Journal. In Guangzhou, the distance between her and Huang Miaozi has narrowed again. They often talk about literature, art and state affairs together, and they feel the same thing.
On June 2 1 the following year, Guangzhou fell. Huang Miaozi's working relationship went to Chongqing, and Ryan later went to Hongkong, so they had to break up again. Soon, Huang Miaozi was transferred back to Chongqing. Thinking of Yufeng in my heart, I wrote a poem to her: Frankincense Lily recommended flowers, kind and clean, Wen Zhuang feast, sent you to see you in my dream, and could not bear to remember the time together. This poem reveals feelings of yearning and love.
After the fall of Hong Kong, Ryan moved to Chongqing and soon went to Chengdu Qingcheng Mountain to sketch with Xu Beihong. During this trip to Qingcheng Mountain, the relationship between Huang Miaozi and Yufeng began to heat up.
When Huang Miaozi proposed to Ryan, Ryan, a revolutionary, found it difficult to decide because Huang Miaozi still worked in the Kuomintang government. Huang Miaozi turned to Xia Yan for help. I made a special trip to Panxi Xu Beihong's Academy of Fine Arts to find Ryan, and persuaded her to make Yu a "national cooperation" with Ryan. 1944 In May, they held an engagement ceremony at Guo Moruo's home, the Tianguan government in Chongqing.
In June of that year, the wedding was held in Jialing Hotel. Calligrapher Shen witnessed the wedding ceremony and presented a poem: Miao Ying wrote a beautiful sentence, and there is little Miao Yan in the world. For example, the wind is far away, and the new ideas of good prospects will be known. Liu Yazi and Guo Moruo wrote a poem: Yue Yexiang, Jin Fei Yufeng, and Huang Miao with dry feathers. Lusheng has a new tune today, and even the melons are labeled. In Chongqing, Huang Miaozi finally made an important historical choice in his life. Like many intellectuals at that time, he regarded the * * * production party as a symbol of democracy and freedom. During his stay in Shanghai, Huang Miaozi began to contact party member, such as Xia Yan and Pan Hannian, and married Ryan, which can be regarded as a determination of political choice. After the Southern Anhui Incident, the Kuomintang was going to close the Eighth Route Army office and Xinhua Daily. After Huang Miaozi saw the document, he informed Zhou Enlai. Mao Zedong's speech in Yan 'an was publicly exposed, so the Kuomintang had to suspend the implementation of this conspiracy.
1945 In late September, Huang Miaozi was arranged to meet Mao Zedong who came to Chongqing to negotiate with Chiang Kai-shek. After the meeting, Huang Miaozi will Mao Zedong's "Qinyuanchun? Si Nuo gave it to the supplement of Xinmin Daily in Chongqing for publication, and added the editor's note, praising the word "great ambition is unattainable".
1September, 1949, Huang Miaozi and Ryan, who were full of joy in the new China, came to Beijing and were invited to attend founding ceremony, People's Republic of China (PRC) in 10/0. After that, they first studied at the Institute of Political Science of North China Revolutionary University. After graduation the following year, Huang Miaozi was assigned to the Special Committee as the secretariat secretary. The following year, after the public-private partnership, he was transferred to the deputy general manager of the comprehensive management office of Xinmin Daily, and later served as editor of People's Fine Arts Publishing House. After graduation, Ryan was assigned to the office of China Artists Association as the director, and later served as the deputy editor-in-chief of New Observation magazine. Later, he served as secretary of the Secretariat of China Artists Association, director of the exhibition department of the Art Museum and librarian of central research institute of culture and history. I am not an educator, and I am not qualified to talk about this issue. However, education can reflect the quality of the people. Give two examples. In Australia, an ordinary postman who rang the doorbell saw me drawing and asked me politely if I could come in and have a look. After he got permission, he talked with me about Chinese painting and European painting, which made it very clear. In addition, in foreign countries, the awareness of respecting privacy is very deep, and there will be no unauthorized opening of other people's letters within the family. In contrast, especially our basic education is not popular enough, especially in rural areas. This was a matter of particular anxiety for many intellectuals in Cai Yuanpei's time. At that time, the state did not have that power. In the 100 years since the Revolution of 1911, two problems have been mainly solved, namely, the problem of eating and the problem of education. In terms of education funds and improving teachers, the relevant authorities should take responsibility and find ways.
In addition to the national quality, I have always felt that urban education is more popular, and I care about and love my motherland. After graduating from high school, I caught up with War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Songhu and secretly left home to join the army in Shanghai. 1938 After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, my brother went to Yan 'an and died in Shaanxi to join the Zuo Quan Army. At that time, the young people were very depressed, and they worked hard when the country was in danger, linking their future with the future of the country. It seems that it has little to do with social affairs and national affairs, and so do parents who raise their children to go to college. Life has been stable these years, but we can't help but talk about the spirit of struggle and patriotism-patriotism is certainly not empty preaching, it should be the spiritual driving force that melts into the blood. Our national spirit should also be cultivated and embodied through education. Education is the foundation of the country.
My works have a "bronze seal style", but it changed when I was old, and my long-term experience in communicating with foreign countries and living in Australia led to a decisive change in my cultural outlook and educational outlook. I am deeply influenced by China culture in art, but contact with foreign cultures reminds me of what Mr. Chen Yinque said. Don't think that China's culture is the highest in the world, and everything is the first in the world. There are differences in history, society and culture among countries, and there are also many things with high achievements worth learning from. For example, the sculpture in ancient Greece is earlier than ours, so we can't compare the statue of Venus with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. Both culture and education should have the idea of constantly absorbing and integrating world culture. Of course, as far as culture is concerned, not everything can be integrated, but we can't ignore the benefits of others, otherwise we can't make progress. Some of my calligraphy attempts to integrate the feeling of modern European art into the ancient Chinese characters in China, and many painters and painters who use China traditional materials are also trying to some extent. But we can't go too far. Some arts are too outrageous and have no foundation at all, so they are absurd.
Education should constantly absorb the excellent cultural heritage of the East and the West and incorporate it into the curriculum. After the reform and opening up, various cultural trends of thought came one after another. It is necessary to make a systematic study of our traditional culture and western culture. On this basis, students can truly accept and absorb advanced culture and integrate into the rapidly developing world. This integration should be conducive to the cultivation of international talents. My granddaughter went to Australia with her parents when she was 9 years old. When she was educated abroad, she was deeply interested in the cultural influence of China's family. After reading the biography of Michelangelo by French Roman Roland, she wrote papers and comments in Chinese to elaborate her views in depth. At the same time, I have also seen many works by Lu Xun, Yu Dafu and Shen Congwen. She grew up healthily in this cultural environment of combining Chinese and western cultures, which broadened her horizons. In short, international talents should be cultivated in an open educational environment. We have been closed to the outside world for so long that we can't catch up without opening up. To grow into a powerful country, China must face the world and instill the essence of world civilization into our next generation. Of course, the descendants of the nation should be rooted in China. It is not good for us to send our children abroad too early. It is best to study abroad after accumulating a certain local culture and establishing a certain national consciousness.
