Now 10 years have passed, how are their lives now? Gather the anecdotes of celebrities and taste all kinds of life. In this issue of the legend of Ziya Children's Fun World Characters, I will take you into the love relationship between Chinese painter Yang Yan and African girl Aida.
Painting career is smooth and smooth
Yang Yan was born in a Hui family in Xining, Qinghai in 1958. His uncle Ma Fuwei is a painter. The young Yang Yan was influenced by his uncle and started learning to draw since he was a child. He even drew his first work at the age of "Killet Seed Garden Painting".
Because she was interested in painting since she was a child, Yang Yan would ask his uncle to learn painting after school. With her talent, Yang Yan made rapid progress in painting .
In 1970, Yang Yan came to Nanjing with his parents. Here, Yang Yan met many famous painters. In order not to waste Yang Yan's talent, his father hired a painting teacher for Yang Yan.
1978, Hua Tuo, a contemporary landscape painting master, accepted Yang Yan as his disciple, and Yang Yan followed Mr. Hua Tuo to learn landscape painting. Immediately afterwards, I became a teacher after being introduced by Huatuo . During this period, Yang Yan's skills became mature and he learned a lot of solid things.
Then in 1985, Yang Yan took his paintings to find Chinese painting art master Huang Zhou , and received guidance from the master. At this time, Yang Yan was already well-known in the Chinese youth painter circle, and his paintings were appreciated by more and more people.
"Picture of Boats with Rain" completed in 1990 was included in the "Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese Paintings" , and many other works were included in the same year. At this time, Yang Yan was very happy in his career, but what bothered him was that he was nearly thirty and had not yet married, and his parents were also worried about his marriage.
But Yang Yan is still obsessed with painting. In order to get better inspiration, he traveled all over the mountains and collected folk songs everywhere. He went to Huangshan seven times and appreciated the different styles of Huangshan, thus creating "Huangshan Fu" , which was then included in Japan in "The New Works of the Great Chinese Contemporary Chinese Painting Masters" .
pair of black sculptures fall in love with her at first sight
1998, Yang Yan, who is already forty years old, was invited to visit a friend's house. At a friend's house, a statue of an African woman shocked Yang Yan's soul.
The thick lips, slightly raised nose and wide open eyes, each detail fascinated Yang Yan. He fell in love with an statue at first sight.
He wanted to ask his friend to come to the statue at home, and he would play with it every day, but his friend refused, and even if he exchanged the painting, he would not do it.
The impulse in his heart prompted him to go to to find a black girl like this sculpture to be his wife . After hearing his thoughts, his relatives and friends around him advised him that this was not feasible.
embarked on the road to finding a dream lover
In the concept of people at that time, they would not marry a foreign girl as their wife, but Yang Yan had decided and immediately embarked on the road to finding a black girl.
He visited dozens of countries , Europe, Africa, America, and he would look for any places where there are black girls. But I couldn't find a girl that matched her.
Some of them are very beautiful and their ideal appearance in their minds, but when these girls heard that Yang Yan wanted to marry them, they all refused. Some of them wanted to marry Yang Yan but their appearance was not what Yang Yan wanted.
More than ten years have passed in this flash. Yang Yan still couldn't find the person he liked. A friend in China heard that he was still looking for it, so he introduced him to African singer Maria , but the unaware of it was just trying to ask Yang Yan for advice on drawing .
Yang Yan told Maria his thoughts, but Maria only called him dad . Yang Yan understood that this was meaningless, so he asked Maria to introduce the beautiful black girl to him.
Maria told him that his hometown Sierra Leone will be held for the 50th anniversary National Day celebration. Sierra Leone has always been a place to produce beauty, and perhaps Yang Yan can meet the people he has been thinking about day and night there.
After hearing this, Yang Yan immediately flew to Sierra Leone in 2011. On the plane, Yang Yan met two young men from Sierra Leone. When he learned that Yang Yan wanted to find an African beauty on his trip, he immediately decided to help Yang Yan find a blind date partner.
But Yang Yan didn't take it seriously, just pretending that they just said it casually. After arriving in Sierra Leone, Yang Yan participated in a beauty pageant at the celebration. As a judge, Yang Yan still did not find the black beauty in his heart when facing many beauties.
Acquainted with the lover in the dream
But coincidentally, the black guy who said he wanted to introduce a blind date to Yang Yan really brought a beautiful woman. It was this time the meeting that made Yang Yan meet the person he thought about day and night.
This girl is called Aida . She was born in a big local family. Her father is the principal of a school, and Aida is also the school beauty in the school.
The aura eyes attracted Yang Yan at once. Yang Yan thought to confess his love. If Ada disagreed, she would return to China the next day.
Little did I know that Ada had long been curious about Yang Yan. When she performed a show in the celebration, she saw this Chinese man with a unique skin color around her at a glance.
So Ida agreed to Yang Yan's request for a date. During the process of getting along, Ida was moved by the way this man got along with the black child. Gradually, Ida developed a good impression of Yang Yan.
51-year-old Yang Yan entered the marriage hall with his dream lover
On the third day of his relationship, Aida decided to marry this Chinese man who was 29 years older than him. Aida told her parents about her idea of marrying Yang Yan.
But the parents don’t know anything about this sudden man, and if their daughter Aida goes to China with a strange man, will her daughter in a foreign country really be happy?
For these considerations, the parents did not agree with Aida's marriage with Yang Yan. But at this time, Aida was already in love. After gaining the support of her brothers, Aida and Yang Yan secretly prepared the wedding .
got married in a hurry. Wearing the ring taken off from the emcee and borrowed from the convenience store boss, the two exchanged the rings, and after saying the oath, they walked into the palace of marriage together.
Ada gave up her studies and her fledgling film career after getting married, and came to China with Yang Yan.
friends expressed shock after knowing that Yang Yan was really married to a black man. foreign love plus such a huge age difference made many people around Yang Yan advise him to think about it again, but Yang Yan didn't care about their words.
When the person who refused to sell the sculpture to Yang Yan saw that Aida really looks almost exactly the same as his own , he immediately gave the sculpture to Aida.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of a hasty marriage and prove it to those who do not like themselves and Aida, in October 2011, Yang Yan held a wedding with a budget of with a 40 million .
Yang Yan also took Aida's parents over. Seeing the happy smile on his daughter's face, Aida's parents quickly accepted the Chinese son-in-law.
The wedding also specially invited Sierra Leone master to witness the love between them. This is not only the relationship between Yang Yan and Aida, but also the relationship between China and Sierra Leone.
Happy life after marriage
After marriage, in order to prove that the two people can live well even from two different countries, Yang Yan began to take Aida to the variety show to show the world their sweet life.
However, because language barriers and customs are different , Yang Yan and Aida will also have a quarrel. It is obvious that things can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, but they will take several hours to figure it out.
Another time, two people went to the massage parlor for massage. Aida, who had never been exposed to massage, got angry after seeing a female Chinese medicine doctor massage her husband. How could Yang Yan be touched by other women under her nose?
This puzzled her. Later, after her husband's explanation, Aida finally let go. In 2012, Ida gave birth to a cute mixed-race child, , for 52-year-old Yang Yan, which also made their marriage stronger.
In the days that followed, Aida worked hard to learn Chinese. After studying, she could speak fluent Mandarin , which greatly reduced the chance of conflict between husband and wife in daily life.
At the same time, she also studied landscape Chinese painting with Yang Yan. After only three months, she started her studies in and held her own personal painting exhibition , which was sought after by many people.
But on May 24, 2018, it was suddenly reported that Yang Yan abandoned his wife and children, and decided to become a monk. No one knew why he did this, why he gave up his social status, fame and fortune and a perfect family and chose to be his companion with the ancient Buddha.
