On "Strive for the top, persevere, work hard, and persevere."

Qi Baishi, who made a comeback at the age of 55 at the Fayuan Temple in Beijing, made a breakthrough in the closed and conservative artistic environment at that time, innovated and developed the "decay and change method", and worked hard for nearly 40 years, and lived to be 93 years old. Many Chinese artists can only shine in their later years, such as Wu Guanzhong, Lin Fengmian, Liu Haisu, Li Keran and so on. There are many benefits to creating in old age. Because people reach old age, their life experiences are rich and colorful, so their potential is endless. Moreover, artistic creation itself has a healing effect, and the result is self-interest and self-interest, which can not only help the elderly to cultivate their own mind, health and longevity, but also use works of art to heal people's hearts, with immeasurable merits, and at the same time can also leave valuable artistic assets for human civilization. What a win! I worked my own, learned from the determination and perseverance of Qi Baishi's "decay and change method", broke through the cauldron and strived to go upstream, looking forward to being able to achieve a late bloom.
When people reach old age, in the face of health crises, environmental changes, and personnel changes, it is inevitable that they will feel that the rivers are declining and the world is hot and cold, and they can't help but feel sorry for themselves and sigh to themselves. But the essence of human life is really to "strive for the top, persevere, work hard, and persevere." portrayal. Before the fertilized egg is formed, hundreds of millions of sperm strive to go upstream, through thousands of mountains and rivers, through the cervix, uterine cavity, and finally to the end of the fallopian tube and the egg is fertilized to form an embryo. Only one lucky sperm can combine with an egg to form a fertilized egg, and we were the lucky sperm who worked hard. It is very hard for people to live in the world, and they have to survive in a highly competitive environment. Especially when people reach the end of the year, their competitiveness has dropped sharply, and they can't help but feel sad. However, there are still many examples of sages in the world who encourage us to live bravely, "strive for the top, persevere, work hard, and persevere."
At the age of 86, Qi Bangyuan completed his masterpiece "Mighty River". Qian Zhongshu's wife, Yang Jiang, was still writing at the age of 102. Chiang Ching-kuo, Zhang Zuyi, 97 years old, also published his debut novel "Baozhi". The giant of cosmic physics and the fighter for life, Stephen Hawking is our role model. Although Hawking was a fader, he was brave and strong and lived to be 76 years old. Stephen Hawking once said, "As long as you live, there is hope!" Such a positive energy person's outlook on life is really enlightening, and it hits the nail on the head!
Van Gogh suffered from mental illness and still worked hard to create for ten years, Gauguin lived in Tahiti, frustrated and lonely, and still wrote until he died of poverty and illness, and Cézanne was ridiculed and humiliated by his friend Zola, saying "O Cézanne! You can do anything, but you can't be a painter." But he is still not afraid of people's words and strives to achieve it.
I remember when I was in elementary school and junior high school, every morning before school, especially in winter, no matter how cold the weather was, my father would ask me to take a bamboo broom to the yard of the house to sweep the floor and sweep the fallen leaves on the ground, day after day, year after year. I felt really uncomfortable at the time. In this cold winter, other children can sleep in the warm bed, why do I have to get up early to sweep the floor? But my father always said to me in a pleasant way, "The plan of the day is to get up in the morning, do housework, exercise, work hard and be simple, this is very meaningful for your physical and mental health, and you will know it when you grow up." If so, when I grow up, I will remember what my father told me in everything I do. My father was very hardworking and he was very patient in everything. When I was a child, I watched him write, wash dishes, fold umbrellas, do housework, move books, repair things, keep accounts, etc., and he always took the trouble to be patient, and enjoyed it. I couldn't help but admire it in my heart. When I reached old age, I had the opportunity to draw, write, and reminisce about my childhood, and I deeply realized that there is nothing difficult in the world, diligence can make up for clumsiness, practice makes perfect, and water drops wear stones, and what it means to "strive for the top, persevere, work hard, and persevere."
