Liu Xiaodong's New Immigrants to the Three Gorges

There is a very thought-provoking sentence in "the waves behind push the waves before":

"The weak are used to ridicule and denial; People with strong hearts never hesitate to praise and encourage. "

The heart is strong enough to see through your own smallness and see the Excellence of others. While living in the United States, a famous painter came across Liu Xiaodong's paintings in a bookstore in new york and enjoyed them very much. When he got home, he wrote a letter to Liu Xiaodong, which said, "I just want to tell you that your painting is very good and you are a real painter ..."

At that time, Liu Xiaodong was not famous, but the painter was already famous in the art circle. Many seniors are full of contempt for newcomers, and some people will deliberately suppress them for fear of being surpassed. The painter not only encouraged Liu Xiaodong, but also publicized Liu Xiaodong in public many times. He appreciated the wildness and authenticity in Liu Xiaodong's works, and publicly said, "After middle age, it was Liu Xiaodong's paintings that saved me." Later, Liu Xiaodong's oil painting "Three Gorges Immigrants" sold for 22 million yuan and became a sought-after painter. At that time, there were very few paintings by painters. In an interview, the reporter asked him why he seldom paints now. He bluntly said: "I am far behind in front of Liu Xiaodong." There is dust in the eyes, but there is no bed width in the heart. Open-minded people never envy the Excellence of others.

I like a passage very much:

"When the more people you contact and the higher the level, you will find one thing.

The more inferior and immoral people are, the more shameful they are to others, and they like to trample on each other and destroy each other;

The more virtuous and educated people are, the more they can see the Excellence of others and know how to support each other. "

Fools step on each other, wise men lift each other, and it is also a kind of Excellence to admit that others are excellent. For people with small patterns, someone will prick my eyes in a threesome; A person with a big pattern must have my teacher in a threesome. The world is vast, everything changes repeatedly, no one stands at the top, there will always be someone taller than you. It's better to put a low profile and appreciate it if you are eager to deny it.
