No wonder so many young artists are moving abroad. The free air abroad can inspire creative inspiration.

After painting two sequels to "Pastoral Scenery", Zhang Junping took a bath and went to bed.

The next day, after Zhang Junping had breakfast, he carved a greeting card by himself using the wood in the space.

Today he is going to Wenzhou Street in Paris to visit the Chinese leaders there.

Paris has Chinatown and Wenzhou Street.

Relatively speaking, Chinatown is larger in scale, but Wenzhou Street is more distinctive and worthy of respect.

Paris Chinatown is a Chinese town composed of Chinese refugees from Southeast Asia.

Wenzhou Street is mainly composed of several small blocks formed by the descendants of the 180,000 Chinese workers and the expeditionary force during World War I.

Because the people who stayed back then were mainly Wenzhou people, the street where Chinese people lived in the third arrondissement of Paris was also called Wenzhou Street.

After writing the greetings, Zhang Junping rode his bicycle to the third block.

In the third block, along a narrow alley, I came to a villa and rang the doorbell.

After a while, an old man wearing a cardigan opened the small door and walked out.

"Young man, who are you looking for?" Seeing that Zhang Junping is Chinese, the old man asked in rich Wenzhou Mandarin.

"Hello, Zhang Junping, who is a junior in school, came to Paris on business from China. I heard about Mr. Yang's name and came here to pay a visit!" Zhang Junping handed the greeting card to the old man.

Seeing how formal Zhang Junping was, the old man in a short shirt quickly stood up and took the greeting card with both hands, "Little brother, please wait a moment, I want to ask the master for instructions."

Not long after arriving, the old man in a short shirt came out, opened the door, clasped his fist to Zhang Junping in a very respectful manner and said: "Young man is blind, I have neglected you, sir, please atone for your sins!"

Please come in, sir!"

"You're welcome, old man!" Zhang Junping returned the greeting with clasped fists, and then followed the old man in a short shirt into the villa.

This villa doesn't look very impressive from the outside, but once you get inside, you'll find something special.

No wonder some people in later generations called Wenzhou Street a street built on Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Zangzhuo, this is really done well.

A white-haired old man wearing a Yun brocade Tang suit stood at the door. When he saw Zhang Junping coming in, he laughed and clasped his fists and said: "A distinguished guest is coming to the door, and you will be welcomed from afar. Haihan, Haihan!"

"Mr. Yang, you are really embarrassing this junior.

This junior has taken the liberty to come to the door, I hope Mr. Yang will not blame him!" Zhang Junping quickly returned the greeting with fists in his arms.

"You're welcome, little friend. I'm so happy to be able to see a talented person from China in a foreign country, but it's too late. How can I blame you?

Please come inside!"

"Mr. Yang, please!"

After entering the room, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Mr. Yang's living room still follows the traditional Chinese living room layout.

"My little friend came to Paris on business, how did it go?" The old man in a short shirt just served Zhang Junping tea, and Mr. Yang took the initiative to ask.

The reason why Zhang Junping came to visit Mr. Yang was also under the guidance of the embassy.

Although Mr. Yang was born in Paris, he spent his childhood and youth in China.

I have received traditional Chinese education since I was a child and have been influenced by traditional culture.

Although he lives abroad, he has always cared about the motherland and is a true Mango person.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he also donated materials to the country many times and was a well-known patriotic businessman.

"Thanks to Mr. Yang, things are going very well so far."

"My dear friend, it was written in the greeting card, what kind of department is China Art Company? I'm sorry for my limited knowledge, but I seem to have never heard of this department."

"Mr. Yang, I am going to make you laugh. China Art Company was established just after the year, formerly known as BJ Painting Store.

Our main purpose is to promote Chinese traditional culture and let the world understand China.

There are three things I wanted to do when I came to Paris. The first was to bring my colleagues from the art company to Paris, a city known as the capital of art, to experience it and learn from other people’s advanced experiences.

The second is to contact and organize the European touring exhibition of Chinese traditional arts and crafts.

The third thing is to prepare to open a gallery and an art store in Paris.

At present, these three things have basically been decided." Zhang Junping explained the origin of the art company with a smile, and also stated the purpose of his coming to Paris.

After listening to Zhang Junping's words, Mr. Yang understood that today they just came to visit him and had no other requests.

"Then let me first congratulate you little friend!

When the arts and crafts traveling exhibition starts, I will definitely bring my old friends to support it."

"Mr. Yang, our art company bought a three-story facade building near Charles de Gaulle Square and is preparing to renovate it and open it recently.

When the time comes, I hope Mr. Yang can go over and suppress the situation." Zhang Junping took advantage of the situation and stated his purpose.

Art companies, to put it bluntly, are in the business of wealthy people.

Rich people have their own circles. Zhang Junping came here this time hoping to get in touch with the wealthy Chinese circles.

In addition to the two reasons mentioned earlier, there is another reason why I came to visit Mr. Yang. Wenzhou Street is not a shady place, but it is a wealthy Chinese neighborhood.

There are more rich people than there are in Chinatown on Block 13 and Block 14.

After hearing this, I bought a three-story building near Place Charles de Gaulle, and the importance I attached to the Chinese Art Company instantly increased by several levels.

"Okay! On the contrary, I will definitely come to support you!" Mr. Yang said with a smile.

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Yang very much!" Zhang Junping cupped his fists and thanked him.

"You're welcome, little friend. Look at the words on the greeting card. They are elegant and unrestrained. They look like dragons and phoenixes dancing on the back of the paper. I guess I learned from a famous master."

"Mr. Yang deserves the award, my master is Mr. Baishi!"

"Sure enough, Mr. Baishi is a master-level figure in modern times. I was lucky enough to have visited Mr. Baishi. Now that I think about it, Mr. Baishi's voice and smile are still before my eyes." Mr. Yang said with emotion, stroking his beard.

"Looking at my friend's name, could it be that my respected master is Uncle Yuan?" Mr. Yang asked again.

"Mr. Yuan Bo is my uncle, and my master is Mr. Minghe." Zhang Junping explained.

"It turns out that my friend is Wu Minghe's apprentice. With that said, our relationship has taken another step forward. Brother Minghe and I have also met several times.

He and Yuan Bo had a close relationship.

A few years ago, I heard that Uncle Yuan had suffered a disaster.

I wonder, how is Uncle Yuan doing?" The smile on Mr. Yang's face became more cordial.

"Mr. Yuan Bo, now the star of disaster has receded and the star of good fortune is shining brightly.

He lived in seclusion in BJ and concentrated on studying literature.

I think it won’t be long before I return to Beijing Normal University to teach and educate people.” Zhang Junping smiled and told Mr. Yang about Qi Gong’s current situation.

"Okay, okay! This is the best news I have heard in recent years." Mr. Yang said with a big smile.

It was obvious that he was truly happy for his old friend's situation.

"Mr. Yang, if the country is no longer the same! The chief architect has put forward the instructions of reform and opening up and adhering to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Nowadays, there is an urgent need for patriotic businessmen like Mr. Yang to return to China to invest and support the country's economic construction." Zhang Junping smiled and invited Mr. Yang.

"Okay! Okay! I've wanted to go back and take a look for a long time!" Mr. Yang nodded and smiled while stroking his beard.

"I believe that Mr. Yang will not be disappointed when he returns! A different China has begun to rise." Zhang Junping said with confidence.

"The garrison drum breaks up the pedestrian movement, and the wild geese make an autumn sound.

The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown.

All my brothers are scattered, and I have no family to ask about life and death.

Letters sent often failed to arrive, and the troops were not suspended.

I have long wanted to return to China to visit my relatives, but I am timid about being close to my hometown and dare not ask anyone." Yang Lao said sadly.

"Mr. Yang, the touring exhibition of Chinese traditional arts and crafts is about to begin in July.

At that time, I will definitely persuade Mr. Yuan Bo to participate in the traveling exhibition, and then you old friends will be able to meet each other.

Who knows if I am relegated from afar to watch the thunderstorm, next year the spring water will return to my hometown together.
