Chapter 64 5. Prestige is not a medal: tidbits 2 and 3

On the eve of the opening of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the name of a painter specializing in portraits of leaders appeared frequently in various newspapers and periodicals, and his latest work "Our Chief Architect" was published at the same time.The artist's name is Li Qi. On the occasion of commemorating the 10th anniversary of the signing of the China-Japan Friendship Treaty, Li Qi was invited to paint a portrait of the then Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita.However, the parties concerned could only arrange for Li Qi to observe Takeshita board secretly once, and the rest is a small photo published in the "People's Daily" for reference.After Li Qi created the portrait by memorization, major Japanese newspapers actually published the photo of Takeshita next to the portrait. Takeshita himself said happily: "This painting is the most expressive of all the portraits I have obtained so far. A picture of my inner world."

In the autumn of 1937, 9-year-old Li Qi arrived in Yan'an with his parents. In 1946, he was sent to study fine arts.During the nine years in between, Peng Dehuai once hugged him, and Mao Zedong touched his head and asked him how old he was and whether he had ever studied.

The preparatory meeting for the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was being held.Therefore, outside the heavily guarded cordon, there appeared a landscape of posing and stealing the camera.

A woman holds a camera and teaches a man, fashionably dressed, to be recognizably rural. A reporter from "China Youth Daily" stepped forward curiously to ask where they came from. "We are from the Baise area in Guangxi, the place where Deng Xiaoping led the Baise uprising. Deng Xiaoping went to our place a few years ago. Someone saw him. He is in good health!" The opening ceremony of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is underway.Ke Yunlu, a writer who has not been seen for a long time, suddenly introduces a new work of his in front of reporters from the capital.In a written material he provided, he stated: "Ninety-two is a very good number. The Qian Gua says: Ninety-two, see the dragon in the field, and benefit the adults."

Regardless of whether the mysterious can provide us with evidence, 1992 is vividly regarded by enthusiastic readers as the "Year of Deng Xiaoping".Everything this wise old man of the century has done will leave a deep impression on the people and leave many legends for the folk...
