Qilu.com Jinan April 27th was originally an oil painting exhibition expressing filial piety. Under the "bewitching" of great love on earth, it turned into a "flash" of charity buying. In less than a quarter of an hour, the eight oil paintings used for the exhibition were "snatched away" by caring citizens. Xu Jingling, Gao Guoqing and Gao Guoliang held the banknotes in one hand, with tears in their eyes, and could only keep saying "Thank you". This is a scene that happened on April 26 at the Wuling Community Neighborhood Committee of Pingyin County.
Gao Guoqing and Gao Guoliang are twin brothers in Pingyin County. They have suffered from osteogenesis incompleteness since childhood and have become "glass people" that everyone is pitiful. Over the past 23 years, the two brothers have suffered more than a dozen fractures, which has made the family that is already poor due to both their parents being laid off. With the care and help of the county party committee, county government and enthusiastic people, four years ago, his mother Xu Jingling took the two brothers to Pingyin Luze Painting Academy to study oil painting for free. In order to realize the dream of starting a youthful business and the desire to respect parents, at the end of last year, he pieced together to establish a studio called "Twin Wings Art". However, the business is bleak and I have been unable to make ends meet. With the help of caring people in society, at the beginning of this year, they launched the "Celebrate Liang Xiaomother Oil Painting Exhibition" to enter the community, enterprises, and parks, in order to let more people understand their stories and recognize their works.
After more than a week of intense docking and contact, at 9 a.m. on April 26, the "Qingliang Xiaomu Oil Painting Exhibition" entered Wuling Community. Since community workers previously sent this news through WeChat groups, many citizens even led caring entrepreneurs living in the community to come to appreciate the paintings. Walking into the community activity room, 10 wood-colored easels stood side by side, and the carefully selected oil paintings from the National Day and Guoliang brothers sat quietly, waiting for everyone's evaluation. The two brothers of National Day and Guoliang also drew sketches on the spot. Within 10 minutes, a vivid portrait was born. Under the introduction of community staff, the audience fully understood the touching stories of their family. They were both saddened by their parents' true love for many years and caring for their children, and were also moved by the hard work of the two brothers of Guoliang who were disabled and determined to pursue their dreams over the years. During the exhibition, citizens asked the staff from time to time, "Does this painting be sold? I want it."
After receiving the affirmative answers from Xu Jingling's three mothers, community director Sang Hongxia also looked excited. She said, "I didn't expect that a simple oil painting exhibition would turn into a touching charity sale." In order to increase the sense of ceremony and let everyone remember this touching moment, they immediately arranged the activity room into a simple charity buying scene, imagining the appearance of a charity auction, and recommended oil paintings one by one on the stage, and enthusiastic citizens from the stage raised their hands enthusiastically. Sang Hongxia said that the speed of buying charity on site was extremely fast. Often, as soon as she picked up a painting, a citizen raised his hand to signal. In less than 15 minutes, all 8 paintings were sold out.
Regarding the transaction price of oil paintings, Sang Hongxia said that these paintings are framed and not installed. The most expensive oil painting with frames costs 500 yuan, and the cheapest one costs 200 yuan. This shows that the two brothers of Guoqing and Guoliang were also moved and did not ask for a price all over the place. In general, this "flash" of charity buying in less than 15 minutes made people feel warm in their hearts, and everyone thought the effect was unexpectedly good.
Ms. Qin Feifei, who made a temporary guest appearance as the host, also participated in the event that day. She said that she noticed that every time a painting was sold, the two brothers of Guoqing and Guoliang would bow to the enthusiastic citizens, and her mother Xu Jingling's eyes were filled with tears. Finally, when a young citizen proposed to take a photo, the three of them held their hands tightly, and said nothing except "thank you", which made the little girl look embarrassed.
15 minutes ago, a surprise and heartwarming "flash" of charity buying was staged here suddenly; 15 minutes later, caring people went their separate ways with their own paintings and integrated into this small town filled with rose fragrance.
It is understood that the "Qingliang Xiaomu Oil Painting Exhibition" entered Wuling Community was jointly initiated by Pingyin County News Center, the County Youth League Committee and the Women's Federation.Since Pingyin County News Center discovered the unfortunate story of the National Day and Guoliang brothers in 2014, it reminded me of the fact that there are still many difficult groups in society. On the road to a well-off society, how they realize their dreams and share a better life is a question worthy of attention. Therefore, the "Rose Light" dream-realization charity campaign was launched, and through entering communities, enterprises, parks, etc., it helped "dream chasers" who have ideals, pursuits and difficulties realize their dreams. In March, he led the brothers of National Day and Guoliang to overcome their physical discomfort and walked into the Begonia Garden of the Holy Mother Mountain in Pingyin County to let more people know their works and stories, and let the great love of filial piety be passed on in the hometown of roses.
