Stars Fall Into The Sea, Love Never Fades Chapter 54

Chapter 51: Passing on art from generation to generation and staying true to the original intention

As time goes by, “Xingluo Studio” has become a cultural landmark of the seaside town.

Children nearby would often run into the studio and surround Lin Qi, asking him to teach them how to draw.Shen Zhi was on the side, telling the children stories about the Anti-Japanese War, about the persistence of the city of Beiping, and about the difficulty of keeping the mountains and rivers intact.The children listened with rapt attention, and the paintbrushes in their hands became more and more determined. The starry sky they painted was immature but bright, very much like the hope in Lin Qi’s paintings back then.

“Mr. Shen, Mr. Lin.” On this day, a middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit walked into the studio, holding a painting in his hand, “I am a student at the Peking Art College, and I came here to visit you two. I have always liked Mr. Lin’s paintings. It was his paintings that strengthened my determination to learn painting.”

Lin Qi took the painting, his eyes filled with relief.On the drawing paper is the city gate of Beiping City. Under the city gate, a young man in student uniform is posting leaflets, with the rising sun in the background.”The painting is very good,” Lin Qi said softly, “Remember, no matter what time, the brush can convey hope and love.”

Shen Zhi added with a smile: “In times of peace, we should cherish the peace in front of us and use our strengths to do something practical for society.”

The middle-aged man nodded and said solemnly: “I will. Like the two gentlemen, I also want to open a charity art studio so that more children can feel the beauty of life through painting brushes.”

Lin Qi and Shen Zhi looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of relief.They know that their original intentions are being passed down from generation to generation.

Later, with the support of Shen Zhi and Lin Qi, the first public welfare art studio in the small town was established.Lin Qi personally wrote the teaching materials, and Shen Zhi designed the layout of the studio. They imparted their painting skills and life insights to the children without reservation.Every weekend, the studio is packed with children who come to learn painting. Their laughter, intertwined with the sound of the waves, becomes the most beautiful melody in the town.

“Shen Zhi, look,” Lin Qi sat in the corner of the studio, watching the children drawing seriously, and said softly, “We did it. Not only did we keep each other, we also kept hope and love.”

Shen Zhi held his hand, his fingertips touched, and warmth surged: “Yes. This is what we have always wanted to do – to pass on love and hope forever.”

The setting sun shines through the glass window of the studio and shines on the faces of the children, as well as on the faces of Shen Zhi and Lin Qi, making it warm and bright.
