At the age of 16, he started to make a living by painting, painting and woodcut.He used to be a small worker in a porcelain factory, a primary school teacher, a middle school teacher, a family education librarian, a trainee artist member of a theater troupe, a newspaper editor, a film scriptwriter, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and a vice chairman of the China Artists Association.

He studied art and literature since he was a child, and he is a generation of "ghosts". The monkey ticket and Jiugui wine packaging he designed are well-known to every household.He is knowledgeable, excellent in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He is also a master of poetry, essays, prose, novels, and scripts. , Don't Cry", "These Debris of Melancholy", "Along the Seine to Emerald", "Landscapes in the Sun", "Wanderings on the River of No Sorrow" and other books.He has painted "Ashima", the zodiac stamp "Monkey" and the landscape painting of Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.Art exhibitions have been held in Australia, Germany, Italy, Mainland China, and Hong Kong, and his art achievements have won the Italian Commander-in-Chief Award.It enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad.

What does a great artist look like in the eyes of the great artist Huang Yongyu? In this new prose work, the 80-year-old Huang Yongyu tells us the stories of those old men who are older than him. In this book with Huang's unique style, a generation of "ghosts" Huang Yongyu uses humorous and alternative language to tell us about those "old men older than him" he has known: Qian Zhongshu, Shen Congwen, Li Keran, Zhang Leping, Lin Fengmian , Zhang Boju, Xu Linlu, Liao Bingxiong, Zheng Ke, Lu Zhiitch, Yu Suoya, Huang Miaozi... These stars-like names reflect the cultural sky of China from the middle and late 20th century to the 21st century.

During the long years of meeting, acquaintance, and acquaintance between the old man Huang Yongyu and these best contemporary Chinese artists, many little-known anecdotes happened.After smiling, the most worth savoring is the spiritual pursuit and personality charm of the masters. For these cultural masters, Mr. Huang writes lightly and humorously.There is no whitewashing, no pursuit, they are all small things, but they are full of fun when written by Huang Lao.For example, he wrote about Qian Zhongshu: "Zhongshu lived to be 88 years old. He was born in 1910, 14 years older than me. I was honored to be with him in Shanghai in 1947 and there was only one issue called "Fellow Travelers" The magazine scolded me. The scolding was fierce and terrible, saying that what the two of us are doing culturally is harmful to the people, and sooner or later we will end up..." These old men who are older than Huang Lao are actually not old.Even if it is only two or three thousand words, it has enough spirit.

I often wonder how the 80-year-old Huang Lao feels when he recounts the past with the "old man" who is older than him.Maybe he just wanted to complete a photoshoot of his personal life?However, due to the identities of the narrator and the narrated, this book has a special weight like a historical review.Huang Lao, who is a great artist himself, has a unique demeanor when he observes and recalls other masters of art, and his writing is calm, just like a mountain paying tribute to a high mountain. "Hey! I have missed them all. Young people often miss old people; the series of stories are like dried fruits withered in winter hanging on the top of a tree, and they are too painful to mention..." When you close the book, you will see Huang Yongyu This passage full of poetic sentimentality written by Mr. Wang on the back cover.Therefore, you will also feel sincerely lucky that you have not missed these old men in the book.

In the interview, Ying Hong, the editor-in-charge of this book, said that the inscription on the cover of this book and the caricature of Huang Yongyu were all written by Mr. Huang himself.The book is also equipped with more than ten illustrations drawn by him, which complement each other perfectly.And these are also fine arts worthy of savoring.Su Ling Huang Yongyu's autobiography After more than seventy years, he was a tyrant, a bully, and a bully, his eyes were dim, and he stopped a long time ago; he shouted the horn and whistled, crossed the river with a book on his back, his strength weakened, and he voluntarily stepped down.

The dying years have come, and I have been smoking cigarettes and drinking tea continuously, and I have not coughed or suffered from insomnia for decades.He loves pork intestines with lots of garlic and spicy food, pig’s feet, and beef with ribs, as well as Yang Huo, bitter gourd, bracken, Liuyang fermented soya bean with lard residue, fried green peppers, dried tofu, mildew fermented soya bean, and water fermented soya bean. Loves to drink with friends, loves to put on dragons, loves local opera, music, and good books. I hate disrespectful disrespectful young and old, especially those who come to ask for a painting without shame. Every time this generation will take them to climb the steep and chaotic mountains, making them tired grandchildren, foaming at the mouth, unable to speak, until they fled in embarrassment and disappeared. .

Do not drink, do not listen to karaoke, do not play mahjong and all kinds of cards.I don't like throwing garbage and spitting inside the house and outside the window.This house is also not allowed to be filmed and visited by tourists.
