Foreword: Dear friends, have you ever heard of it? Between Andy Lau, a bright star in the entertainment industry, and Peng Denghuai, a Sichuan opera master, an extraordinary legend that has crossed many challenges and warmed people's hearts has been quietly weaved!
When it comes to Andy Lau, this name shines brightly in the entertainment industry. Back on March 22, 2000, in the ancient capital of Beijing, he solemnly bowed to Master Peng Denghuai, vowing to carry forward the artistic treasure of Sichuan Opera. Witnessed by the spotlight, he bowed down reverently, and at that moment, the scene was shocking, and it showed his endless love and pursuit of art. What is particularly rare is that he personally inscribed "Art Crowns the World" to Mr. Peng, this ink treasure is of great significance and its value is immeasurable.
Master Peng Denghuai cherished this gift and hung it in the middle of the living room of the Chengdu Mansion from the day he received it, and whenever guests visited, he always proudly recounted the deep friendship behind it. However, when he moved in 2011, this calligraphy carrying deep emotions was accidentally lost, and Mr. Peng was anxious, and his search was unsuccessful, and his disappointment was overflowing.
As a leader in the art of Sichuan opera face change and the inheritor of national intangible cultural heritage, Peng Denghuai's glory is all over the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage. For him, this calligraphy is far from being measured by money, it is an eternal testimony to the innocence of affection between master and apprentice. Faced with the temptation of high-priced purchases, he stuck to his original intention and resolutely refused, vowing to protect this precious friendship between master and apprentice.
With the successful holding of Andy Lau's concert in Chengdu in August this year, and the news that he may attend the 37th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, this dusty memory has been gently awakened. Mr. Peng took this opportunity to express his deep hope for calligraphy to be found and returned home.
Netizens responded enthusiastically, with some angrily condemning the thieves, some praying that the calligraphy would be found soon, and many more believing that fate would bring the work back to light. As a disciple, Andy Lau has become more and more sophisticated, and can skillfully display more than 12 face-changing faces, and at the same time, he has made unremitting efforts on the road of inheriting the art of face-changing in Sichuan Opera, and actively encouraged Mr. Peng to recruit disciples. Today, under his guidance, many young talents are engaged in the study and inheritance of this ancient art.
This master-apprentice relationship is a blend of deep friendship, unexpected loss and tenacity of cultural inheritance. May the calligraphy full of emotions return home as soon as possible, and may the art of Sichuan opera face change shine more brightly in the hands of the younger generation.
Conclusion: Dear friends, has this story quietly touched your heartstrings? Let us walk hand in hand, with our love and dedication to art, cherish every sincere friendship, and let the beauty flow quietly in the long river of time and never fade.
