How can Xu Can Beihong be diligent and grateful?

Xu Beihong worked hard all his life. Since 17 years old, he has shouldered the burden of life for the whole family. But he never complained about the hardships of life, but faced life with strong will and perseverance, making unremitting efforts and perseverance.

He has been frugal all his life. Whether a penniless teenager or a middle-aged man with a lot of money, he has always inherited the fine tradition of the Chinese nation and never squandered it. Because he deeply understands such a truth: a porridge and a meal are all blood and sweat; It's hard to get a stitch or a thread.

In order to protect the excellent ancient paintings in our country, he can do his best without stint. But his own life is incredibly simple.

Mr. Xu Beihong devoted his life to honesty. Although his income is very large, it is used to help poor students and poor friends and buy a lot of books, calligraphy and painting.

When Xu Beihong was in Beiping, he bought an old fur robe at Dongdan Square flea market. The buttons on it are all outdated copper buttons. At that time, the students of Beiping Art College joked, "Look at the golden buttons of our headmaster." .

Mr. Xu Beihong is a very affectionate and righteous person. When he was studying in his youth, two people helped him the most. One was Mr. Huang Zhenzhi and the other was Mr. Fu Zengxiang.

Mr. Huang Zhenzhi is a wealthy businessman in Shanghai and a collector of calligraphy and painting appreciation. After seeing a snow scene by Xu Beihong, I think he is a rare talent. So when Mr. Xu Beihong was in the most difficult time, he generously helped Mr. Xu Beihong solve the practical difficulties in his life; Another Mr. Fu Zengxiang was from Sichuan, then Minister of Education. He read Xu Beihong's works and promised to send overseas students to France without forgetting him. Later, he was out of order and approved Xu Beihong to study in Europe, which greatly helped him broaden his horizons, learn and draw lessons from western painting art, and improve his painting level and artistic accomplishment.

Many years later, Xu Beihong recalled the past and still remembered the kindness of the two gentlemen: "I have been wandering for ten years and traveled on Wan Li Road. It is difficult to study, and it is difficult to do this. I have always attached great importance to Mr. Huang Zhenzhi and Mr. Fu Zengxiang and dare not forget them. "
