Chapter 527 Am I embarrassing the Chinese?(1/2)
Chapter 527 Am I an embarrassment to my countrymen?
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
In the heavy snow, the pine and cypress trees in the green belt below the Union Hospital were covered with a layer of silver.
Most of the pedestrians hurriedly walking through the snow had frowning or worried faces.
After all, a place like a hospital is not a good place.
Except for doctors and nurses, most people who come here are either sick and hospitalized.
Or a family member is sick and hospitalized and cannot be happy even if he wants to.
Very few people are in the mood to have snowball fights and build snowmen like Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi.
Looking at the falling snowflakes like goose feathers, Luo Yanning suddenly felt a little itchy.
Clay figurines may seem similar to sculptures, but there are still big differences in the specific techniques and details.
"How about making an ice sculpture in the snow to cheer up the first heavy snowfall in Beijing?"
As soon as this idea came up, I couldn't get rid of it.
If she didn't build a snowman today and take care of this matter, Luo Yanning would feel like she wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
Snapped!
When Luo Yanning was lost in thought, a loose snowball as big as a fist bloomed on the back of his head.
"Hahaha! Let me just say that I am always on target, just hit wherever you point me!"
Seven or eight meters away from Luo Yanning, Zhang Qian excitedly showed off her accuracy to Zhao Rui and Wu Mingshi.
"It's time to teach you how to call snowball fights. If I don't help you get rid of your snowball fight addiction today, my surname will not be Zhang!"
Luo Yanning smiled slightly, squatted down, scratched and scratched with her big hands, and a snow ball as big as a walnut formed in an instant.
With a flick of his arm, the snowball flew out in a whoosh, flying straight towards Zhang Qian's head!
With a snap, the snowball hit Zhang Qian squarely on the forehead. Zhang Qian, who had been so proud just now, suddenly lost her composure.
"Damn it, how dare you sneak up on me, Fatty, Xiaorui, come together and fix him hard for me!"
Zhang Qian said hello, Wu Mingshi and Zhao Rui responded instantly, and the three of them immediately launched a counterattack.
Swish, swish! Three snowballs flew towards Luo Yanning from different directions. Luo Yanning just turned slightly to avoid them all.
When competing with Jason Douglas, Shi Junjie's bodyguard, yesterday afternoon, Luo Yanning activated the [Unstoppable] state.
At this moment, the [Unstoppable] state is not over yet, Luo Yanning's abilities in all aspects have been strengthened 10 times.
With 10 times the reaction ability, he can dodge even bullets, not to mention a few snowballs.
On the contrary, with the blessing of 10 times the strength and reaction, every snowball thrown by Luo Yanning will not miss, and all of them will fall on Zhang Qian.
"Ahhh! You're so mad at me, so mad at me. Just catch me and beat me, right?"
"Fat man, cover me! Cover me! Oh, let me go! How did you cover me!"
"Fat man, you must be with Luo Zi! You are the undercover agent he sent to me! You can't even cover me with such a big man!"
The snowballs thrown by Luo Yanning were like missiles equipped with tracking and positioning devices.
No matter how Wu Mingshi and Zhao Rui tried to protect themselves, snowballs could fall on Zhang Qian from various angles and directions.
"No fight, no fight, I surrender! I surrender! Surrender to Brother Ning!"
After being hit by snowballs no less than 100 times, Zhang Qian hid behind Wu Mingshi and raised her hands to surrender.
"Hehe, that's pretty much it. You know the consequences of provoking me this time."
Luo Yanning patted the snow on her hands and smiled happily.
"Sir, you practice martial arts just to bully our sister Qian, right?"
Wu Mingshi stood up for Zhang Qian with a distressed look on his face.
Luo Yanning said with a smile: "You bully the smaller ones, three of them hit me, and I haven't said anything to you yet. You are still reasonable."
"Master is so awesome. I'm completely convinced. Why are you so awesome at everything you do?"
Zhao Rui looked at Luo Yan with admiration. She was truly convinced of Luo Yanning.
Even if you are a good cook, your kung fu is so good that you can easily beat three in a snowball fight.
Luo Yanning gave Zhao Rui the feeling of being almighty.
"Tch, what's the matter? It's just that I'm pregnant and it's inconvenient to move. Otherwise, ten of them wouldn't be my match."
Zhang Qian snorted and maintained her last stubbornness.
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right." Luo Yanning did not argue with her, smiling and matching the sentence.
"Huh? Look, someone seems to be building a snowman over there, and a group of people are surrounding him."
Xu Kejing, who had been watching the fire for a long time from the other side without helping each other, suddenly pointed at a group of people surrounding not far away and shouted in surprise.
Luo Yinning and others looked in the direction pointed by Xu Kejing's finger. Sure enough, as she said, a group of people gathered around thirty or forty meters away from where they were having a snowball fight.
From a distance, you can vaguely see a tall man building a snowman around the crowd.
Generally speaking, the snowmen built by most people are all the same. The big ball at the bottom is the snowman's body, and the smaller ball at the top is the snowman's head.
Then put a hat on the snowman's head, or insert a stick, and insert two sticks into the snowman's body to serve as the snowman's arms, and a minimalist version of the snowman is ready.
But the snowman made by the man building a snowman in the distance is different from what people usually see.
It's too far away and the heavy snow blocks the view, so I can't see the outline of the work clearly, but I can see that the snowman is about the same size as an adult, and the shape is also a normal human shape.
In front of the snowman, the tall man seems to be outlining the snowman's face.
"That's a master! Let's go over and have a look!"
Zhang Qian has always liked to join in the fun, and whenever there was a fun to join in, she immediately dragged Wu Mingshi towards the old man.
"Brother, Xiaorui, let's go take a look too!"
Xu Kejing also looked very interested, looking at Luo Yanning with hope.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Luo Yanning smiled and agreed, raising her legs to follow Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi in front.
The place where they were having a snowball fight just now was no more than thirty meters away from where the tall man was building a snowman, and they arrived in a few steps.
When Luo Yanning got closer, she realized that the tall man building a snowman was a blond foreigner with silver-gray curly hair.
The man looks to be in his forties, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a three-dimensional facial contour.
Standing next to the man were two Chinese students, a boy and a girl. The two students looked at the foreigner with admiration in their eyes.
In addition to Luo Yanning and Zhang Qian, many passers-by were also attracted by the snowmen built by foreigners and stopped to watch.
"Wow! Is this Snow White? She looks so much like her! It's like she ran out of a fairy tale!"
"This expression, these facial features, and this temperament are so lifelike!"
"I'm impressed, my skill in building a snowman is definitely the best in the world!"
"Professional, this is so professional!"
"It's so amazing. This kind of skill can never be achieved through decades of hard study and practice!"
"The same thing is building a snowman, this is the difference between amateur players and professional players!"
The onlookers were amazed and full of praise for the foreigner's work.
The foreigner seemed to understand everyone's admiration. When he sketched the snowman's face, a confident and satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
The foreigner's name is David Osborne. He is a senior professor in the Sculpture Department of the University of Leeds and is currently engaged in cultural exchanges with China Art.
David Osborne has one and only one idol, and that is Henry Moore.
Henry Moore's full name is Henry Spencer Moore. He is one of the most famous sculptors in the world in the 20th century.
Henry Moore is world-famous for his large-scale bronze and marble sculptures.
The "Reclining Figure" on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge shows a highly streamlined, abstract female figure and is a typical representative of Moore's sculpture style.
Henry Moore's representative works include "Reclining Figure", "Family Portrait", "King and Queen", etc.
To commemorate the establishment of mankind's first nuclear reactor "Chicago Pile-1", Henry Moore specially designed and produced the monument "Nuclear Energy" from 1963 to 1967, which is now erected in Chicago, USA.
On the university campus.
David Osborne's sculpture style is more realistic, and his sculptures are most praised for being "lifelike".
The reason why his idol is Henry Moore is not because of Henry Moore's skills, but more because of his historical status and his fame.
When David Osborne was young, he aspired to become a world-renowned sculptor like Henry Moore.
However, this wish is obviously a bit far away for him.
Although he is extremely talented and has a high level of understanding, there is still a certain gap between him and top artists and sculptors like Henry Moore.
