■ Mei Nanling
My hometown Meizhou, is a beautiful mountain. Meizhou within the multi-plum, plum blossom is the flower of Meizhou. The simplicity of Meizhou Hakka people see it as a symbol of the spirit. Marshal Ye Jianying poem: "The total tender heart as stone, jade bone slowly several world repair, Man Wing Rover cards, freezing the end of the kinds of plum Meizhou." Plum unique strong character, she dared to flowers of the first and alone, cold Ling open, spring to the people reporting the news. Meizhou plum-loving, plant plum, plum, plum, Hua Mei, the formation of a plum culture.
Meizhou has always been more than school, generations of scholars with a plum artistically, moral integrity, character, to all over the world. Many celebrities such as Meizhou membership Plaza fragrant flowers on the plum spread far and wide.
Meizhou left many poets chant verses plum. Such as the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli in Guangdong's tenure, when his troops had taken it for granted-insurgency Meizhou Lam Tin Kai Yong said: "Who planted all the way to ten plum, overlooking the stream just blossom, this line is no official functions, only for the plum also come together. "demonstration of the ancient territory of Meizhou plum Sheng. Still this mountain scenery has changed. Plum Blue Stream miles, though not to exist, but the state Meicheng plum flowers, thousands of pagodas of Meihuashan, Jianying Park, Merlin, Dongshan Bridge of Plum Village ... ... throughout the city planted the garden spots Xin Mei, every bloom, the city is fragrant. It is "bright red star little light elements, thousands of pagodas next to the Meihuashan, people look at the flowers of mountain, before the letter is a plum Jiaying town."
The tree is still tidal pond and affects people's nostalgia. The one issue I have painted a poem: "old miles Lam Mei, Yang Gong Stimulation attracted to, only this tree only Chao Tong, vaguely Si Song planted." Mui season, drove a dozen in the east, along the tortuous circled on the mountain road up to tidal pond plum, The tree in the mountains not far from, you can smell all the way to bursts of Meixiang. Plum silent, Meixiang interested. The tree in this fragrance is clearly attract people to pay attention to its poetic beauty.
Along some stone steps up the stairs, came The tree trees. I saw the trunk into several trees, twisting trees, a distance suspected Merlin, the original is a tree. The thickest trunk at about 70 cm in diameter. That kind of veteran cadres dragon vigorous, full of knots, as if the tree may record the vicissitudes, the calendar was the catastrophe of history. Eight hundred frost wind and rain set, eight Baidu Huakaihuaxie has new trees flower, style remains. Most is that the veteran cadres were destroyed on re-taking of the new Ah, but ek-stemmed flowers, the markedly out of it infinite vitality. Shining Plum attracting countless bees collecting nectar camp, as if the flower is the ringleader of the praise.
The tree distance, one thousand phenomena, but upright, slanting crosswise, new branches upright, interspersed delivered, side by side. God of creation is how harmoniously blending variety in unity. Poem goes: "Only thirty-two delightful." The tree was looking everywhere is the painting, poetic.
Looking around the Piedmont mountains, Castle Glen, col side is a Hakka farmhouse, exquisitely reflected in the tidal pond reflection as a mirror surface. The tree grows in these beautiful mountains on the drawing, the mining landscape of the Aura and made endless she explains. "To go visit Yeongdong shadows, seek off-road crosses the old trail; comfort the enemy spring news, open tidal pond garden trees plum red." After forty years of my absence, to return the title back home plum. The tree led to my hometown plum infinite emotions, give me a source of artistic inspiration.
I grew up in his childhood hometown of plum - Meizhou Nanling, the close relationship with the plum. Plum flower trembling in the breeze and a touch of Maehyang, are unforgettable in my mind the memory, along with my high school alma mater, the school badge on Meizhou the plum blossom design, ever affects my hometown love plum. I remember childhood, each value of the depth of winter, when the plum blossoms on campus, always sneaking off a home, into the bottle watch. As a poet Liangshao Yu Qing Meizhou poem: "a rebound letter to someone, a few days to film is not inclined to open, take off a chat with gifts, such as bottle Mo Xian Hua." Plum blossom in my heart occupies an important position. I am committed to Hua Mei, the number of years worked hard, hard quest, with a brush to praise plum, plum blossom on the home because of the complex.
I love plum home. I want to practice my pursuit of "mountain-Mei comfortable open" state of the art, to draw distinctive works. Let Meizhou plum, Xiangpiao Haijiaotianya spread Peoples hearts.

Happy I did not sleep a night, early morning sweep the courtyard, gallery inside and out bright and clean and meet the guests arrived. Ten o'clock the whole time diesel cars parked in the old gallery in front. Yan went up to the old open the door for the old wood, old wood, and after we shook hands, to be accompanied by an old man introduced to us, turned wood and old comrades in the war years old, has been retired. Miss old friends or old wood, specifically to meet total reminisced about his friendship, to the gallery today a look. Taiyuan dragon gallery is 80 to 90 years the period in Taiyuan was founded to collect, display of celebrity pictures, including my own work, but also a window to make fine arts a friend. Firewood to read some old high spirits paintings, sit down and said to me: "Chunhua great taste to your collection. Numbers are very impressive thing." Yan said the old wood and old you are interested in collecting paintings, right? Chai said the old collection is the spice of life.
Yan Chai old old suddenly asked: "how did you embark on this path of diplomats?" Chai old said: "there is no deliberate pursuit, but it is really early like learning a foreign language, I remember once being Wanjun seized during the war , I found a foreign language dictionary, an officer who appeared to have a ferocious leader asked me what book this is a?

I see him again after the liberation, he became a prisoner because of sinful. see me when I told him I was then seized by you that poor boy learning a foreign language. that people are not even that there did not know. "Chai old said:" As diplomats do, that the needs of the revolution there to prepare than not prepare!

Tea with the words, feel close to lunch. Got up to leave the old wood, old Yan said: "The old wood bar and we had lunch together!" Chai old said: "Lunch will no thanks." We watched the old diesel cars go away.
And old wood together, I think he is a kind old man Cixiang Ping and others. See this is a battle-hardened general and served as Hungary, Egypt, Thailand and China's Ambassador to the first, representing the dignity of the Republic of the senior diplomat.

Especially the old wood with President Nixon and his wife with President Reagan at the White House's photo. Photo Mr. Chai suit, a white lady is not even decent dresses.

T-shirt bag out of old wood from a picture and asked Venerable Dong you see who it is? Venerable Dong laughed: "This is Zhang Žļ, his six years older than me, we are often together in Chongqing." Venerable Dong thinking is still very pro-sharp clarity, recalled painting back, Round Table opens. Laughing, between the two sides appears to be very harmonious. Will forget the Venerable Dong is in strict accordance with doctor's orders for treatment. Introduced me to the old wood Venerable Dong said: "He is an artist we Shanxi, like Hua Mei, Guangdong Meizhou. Jiuyang Venerable Dong plum, today made a special trip to your question to come."

Venerable Dong let me talk about what I know of some artists of today's Hua Mei, Venerable Dong hear eleven for analysis and point out their differences and pros and cons. Venerable Dong I say I like the plum blossom, like the poem, Mr. Qi Gong said. Venerable Dong laughed: "Mr. Qi Gong is my friend, his poem: 'such is the painting plum' is just my love of art, where the edges are also emotional factors, does not mean that I became a plum draw Fan it! artist is different, and the United States is rich and if you press the mode to draw a house, would not we all become 'Erba Dao' it?! "
