■ Former peak employee Xu Feng

In 2014 , I joined the big family of peak health and transferred to the Administration and Personnel Department the following year. The work of the administrative personnel department is trivial and complicated, and cultural propaganda work is also among them. Because of this, my contact with the "Peak News" gradually increased. With the encouragement of the editors, in addition to the press release of Peak Health, I also translated some of my life insights and feelings into words, and occasionally appeared in the fourth edition. "Furong " supplement.

Once, I wrote an essay called "Remembering the Period of Old People", which was about my experience in the calligraphy and painting club when I was a student. At that time, we were young, with the love of painting and calligraphy, using the spare time to carry the easel out of sketching together, together to participate in the National Junior Painting and Calligraphy Competition ...... We studied together and laughed together under the guidance of Chinese painting teacher Chen, regardless of cold and summer day and night, throwing pen and ink, and enjoying it, making the whole reading career full of challenges and fun. Although that experience has passed for many years, it is still vivid in retrospect, as if it were just yesterday, it has become an incomparably beautiful memory in my life.

Perhaps because of this manuscript, 2016 , the editor of "Peak News" told me when planning the staff column of the supplement: "In the past, most of the columns were written manuscripts. You can make a change. Each issue of paintings with different themes, with related short articles, have a try? " At that time, the "Peak News" had a half-month issue and four employee columns each. If each issue had one short essay and two paintings, I would have to prepare eight paintings and four articles in two months. However, I have not taken a paintbrush for nearly 10 years. I still have a daughter in the second year of junior high school and a nine-month-old son to take care of. I am not sure whether I can finish it on time. I always feel that it seems a little impossible. However, with the encouragement of the editor, I waited for my daughter and son to sleep every night, picked up the brush again and started to create, and completed the task within the scheduled time, becoming the first employee of Jianfeng Health Company to publish a column in Jianfeng News.

Looking back now, because I haven't painted for many years, there were many flaws in several paintings at that time, but through the column, many colleagues from other units learned that Jianfeng Health had a painting Xu Feng. In the following years, recommended by the "Peak News", my works were selected to participate in the annual National Building Materials Industry Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition. The two works were successively included in the 7th and 8th National Building Materials Industry Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition. In 2018 , my traditional Chinese painting works were selected by the company to participate in the first Zhejiang Province Building Materials Industry Painting and Calligraphy Photography Exhibition and won the Excellence Award; I won the second prize at the painting and calligraphy photography exhibition held by the company on the 60th anniversary of Jianfeng Entrepreneurship ... All these made me more confident and interested in painting. Painting has become an indispensable part of my life. I would like to thank every leader, predecessor and colleague who supported my growth!

I studied painting in my early years, mostly painting landscapes or flowers and birds. After I picked up my brush again, I also kept trying new things on the subject of painting. Starting from 2017 , every year on the eve of the lunar new year, I will draw a picture of the zodiac and contribute to the peak newspaper. Since the year of the rooster, dogs, pigs, rats and cows have been painted for a total of five years, mostly for the first time. It has always been believed that such a year-long zodiac can be painted in the "Peak Newspaper", but shortly after the painting of the cow, for some reason, I left the peak and went back to my hometown Lanxi to work. One time I joked with the editor of the "Spike Newspaper" that the next year was the Year of the Tiger, and the tiger was too difficult to draw, so I ran away ...

Shortly after returning to Lanxi, under the introduction of the senior brother of the Painting and Calligraphy Society, a second teacher Chen appeared in my painting career, who was a member of the Chinese Artists Association. Under the guidance and leadership of Mr. Chen, I systematically learned the combination of traditional and modern calligraphy and painting techniques, the deployment of colors, and made great breakthroughs in the understanding of painting and the style of painting. 2022 3 , my traditional Chinese painting "golden autumn" was selected for the first "lanxiang rhyme " female painter art exhibition in Lanxi city. "Bi Chi Qing Ying" was selected into "Ruihua Dan Qing Magnificent Age " 21th Zhejiang Flower and Bird Female Painter Exhibition. Seeing my own works hanging in the spacious exhibition hall and being appreciated by the audience coming and going, I have mixed feelings in my heart ...

Now, although I have left the peak, my attention to the peak and the peak newspaper has not changed, and the love for painting that has been rekindled by the peak newspaper has not changed either. After working hard, my greatest pleasure and leisure is to learn and draw. I can't forget the days when I grew up with the "Peak News". If there were no "Peak News", maybe I would not restart my painting road. I hope that in the near future, my paintings can enter newspapers and magazines, art exhibitions at all levels, and I also look forward to becoming a member of the Zhejiang Artists Association one day. This is a small goal set for myself.
