There was Qi Baishi in the world, and the remaining ink still exists in the world.
If you ask Yu Mo where to ask, Baishi Mountain Hall is less white!

Hello Tibetan friends, today we have invited Mr. Tang Fazhou, then the successor of Qi Baishi, the disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the president of the Chinese Qi Baishi Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the visiting professor of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, the official image spokesperson of NetEase Group, the specially invited director of teaching and research, the contracted painter of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts and Rong Bao Zhai, the expert of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting big data identification, the president of the Shanghai Qi Baishi Art Research Association, and the chief operating officer of Baishi Shantang Culture Media, Mr. Tang Fazhou, once heard Qi Baishi's eldest grandson, Qi Folai, say: In 1942, the Japanese often attacked Changsha, and northern Hunan was extremely tense. The exchange of letters was interrupted for a time. On the 21st day of November in the lunar calendar this year, for my grandfather's 80th birthday, due to the blockage of the north-south road, I could not go to Beiping to celebrate my birthday. Plum blossoms also add to the plan, and the fragrance of the trees is extraordinary. "It's also strange to say that the plum blossoms before and after the Yamaginkan this year are blooming more luxuriantly than in previous years, probably because of the cultivation of my grandfather's hands, and I am also grateful for the owner's birthday.

In December of the following year, my grandfather's step-room, Hu Baozhu, died of illness in Beiping, and my grandfather immediately wrote me a registered letter, which was delayed by mail until February 1944, when I was working in Shaoyang, Hunan, and was transferred from home. Seeing the words written by my grandfather on the cover, and still so strong and powerful, an indescribable joy suddenly swelled up in my heart, and then I realized the true feelings of Lao Du's famous sentence "family letters are worth ten thousand dollars". But when I saw the elderly who lost their companions and were taken care of by people who were not satisfied with their daily lives, I couldn't help but cry. The letter concluded: "If you can take a detour with your family to peace, and serve the rest of the day for the rest of your life, you can hope for it."

In mid-April, I took a leave of absence to go back to the Yamaginkan to discuss going to Beiping. Unexpectedly, it was only more than ten days after arriving home, and the hometown fell, with iron hooves everywhere and houses in ruins. Immediately led the whole family to flee for their lives in the Bauhinia Mountain. Unfortunately, in May, the adoptive mother Wang Ruren died, and then the three boys, who had just turned one year old, became infertile. My family is worried about the country's troubles, and I am at a loss for money. The misery of the enemy's burning, killing and looting is unspeakable, not only can they not go far to Beiping, but they do not even dare to go down the mountain for several months, and the letters have become even more difficult to pass from then on.

On August 14, 1945, when Japan announced its unconditional surrender, my grandfather, full of joy, wrote me his first letter home after the victory, remitted a sum of travel expenses, and asked me to bring my family to Ping and live for a long time. Due to the influence of the demobilization of traffic, the letter was not received until the 14th day of the first month of the following year, to the effect that there was no one to take care of him in his old age, and he hoped to arrange for the handling of household chores in the south, and immediately took his family to Pingping, and in the upper left corner of the envelope, he added three circles with an ink pen to express his eagerness.

At that time, although the Japanese had surrendered, the Pinghan Railway had not yet been opened to traffic, and if they wanted to go to Beiping, in addition to taking a plane from Wuhan, they could only take a boat from Shanghai and make a detour to Tianjin. Due to the urgent need for the so-called receiving staff to go north, the sea and air transportation were very tight, and the ordinary people had no way at all, so that several entire lines of baggage were forced to stop.
