Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 156

This is a self-portrait.

Unlike the portraits in the dark corridors of Trinity University, the background of this painting is not a dimly lit interior, but a sunlit seaside.A young woman sits on a wooden railing, clutching her sun hat, smiling broadly.

"Not like those self-portraits, is it? This is one of my favorites, I don't like conformity much. Let those old-fashioned self-portraits go to God! I'm going to paint like this."

She flipped through her phone, and there were other paintings.

Her paintings are very colorful, but sunlight is the only theme of all paintings.Just like her character, although she is very old, she is still a sunny girl, young and energetic.

These paintings are very good.

It's not just that they look good, according to Ye Kai's point of view, these paintings are no worse than those collected in the Palace of Versailles.Compared with those painters, this old lady may only lack fame.

Or she was already famous, but Ye Kai didn't know her.

She did not take out these works to show off. Painting is something she likes very much, and the paintings contain her inspiration for a place.Share these things with a friend and make her happy.

When Ye Kai looked at the painting, he didn't ask too much. He was romantic and lazy. The Seine River flows slowly under the Bridge of Love. This is Paris.

The sun is hot and dazzling, although it is a scene like yellow sand, but Ye Kai seems to be able to hear the mysterious string music.

"Should this be painted in Egypt?" Ye Kai asked.

"That's amazing, yeah, was this 20 years ago? Or was it 30 years ago... I can't remember, but it must have been in Egypt. I rode a horse and the guide took us to see belly dancers..."

Ye Kai handed her the mobile phone, and found out the painting he drew when he moved, and said, "This is what I drew, it's a bit simpler compared to yours..."

She took it and looked at it, and said in surprise, "What a beautiful horse."

This is a galloping horse.

The length of this painting is close to one meter. If you draw a horse on such paper, if you don't cut out the details, it will look very monotonous.Ye Kai painted each mane meticulously with meticulous brushwork.

The unyielding look of the horse jumped out, as if it was about to turn into a dragon in the next second.If a Chinese person sees it, he can easily think of it - a horse is flying like a dragon.

There is also an inscription with a brush in the lower right corner of the painting.

Scholars must be resolute, and there is a long way to go.Tian Xingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement.The meaning of it is not me alone, but my Chinese nation!

Ye Kai said that he painted this painting not only to encourage himself, but to talk about the rising Chinese nation.

The old lady didn't know Huaxia characters, but she couldn't stop her love for these characters, and said repeatedly: "It's so beautiful, I haven't seen such a good Huaxia painting for a long time..."

She returned the phone to Ye Kai.

With common hobbies, the old lady became more talkative. She talked about some Chinese painters she met when she was young. They were all masters that Ye Kai had been famous for a long time, but they were no longer alive.

She is also 80 years old, and many friends she knew have left.

"Even though many of my friends are gone these years, I have never stopped traveling... When I was young, I dreamed of traveling all over the world, but later I realized that the world is too big, so I can only go to some well-known countries.

And you?You are so young, only 24 years old, what is your wish? "

Ye Kai replied: "Of course it is traveling around the world."

"Really?" She laughed and asked, "Why do you have such crazy ideas?"

"Of course, I was originally a company employee, but the work made me feel bored and out of place, and I thought, why don't I try something that I haven't thought of before? So I want to travel around the world."

It was a pleasure chatting with this old man.

He also felt impatient and bored at all, Ye Kai didn't feel the slightest generation gap, maybe this was the reason why the two of them didn't talk about trivial matters in life.Love and dreams will never go out of date no matter what age.

There was WiFi on the plane, and Ye Kai added her as a friend on Facebook.

Except for Huaxia, it seems that people in all countries use Facebook. Anyway, no matter what country Ye Kai goes to, although he will encounter some unique chat software, everyone will have a Facebook account.

Two hours passed quickly.

She was going to fly to the United States, and Ye Kai was going to transfer to Huaxia here.The two had no choice but to part here, and only then did Ye Kai know the name of the old lady.

Joan Hayworth.

Ye Kai searched on Baidu and found that this old lady's name is really not small.A well-known master illustrator in the last century has drawn promotional posters for many movies.

Audrey Hepburn's "Roman Holiday"

Elizabeth Taylor "Cleopatra"

There are works of old ladies.

It will take an hour to transfer to Huaxia's plane, and Ye Kai bought a lot of gifts for others in the duty-free shop at the German airport.There are Chinese everywhere in German airports.

If someone comes to this airport, he will definitely not get lost, and in order to facilitate Chinese people to buy items in the airport stores, all the stores here support WeChat payment.

Just like China.

When the time was up, Ye Kai left the airport and boarded the plane to Huaxia.

This time it will take a long time to fly.

Ye Kai found his place on the plane, put away his things and lay down on his seat.Opposite him is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who should be a company manager.

He didn't look like he wanted to talk, and after lying down, he covered himself with a blanket and began to sleep.

It's just... boring.

The accident brought to Ye Kai on the last flight was so interesting, it made him look forward to this long-distance partner he had never met, maybe he is also an interesting person?

But obviously Ye Kai's luck has run out.

Forget it, take a break and get ready for work.

There is still a little to write in the new book, and it will take about an hour or two to finish at my own pace.The next job is to revise the manuscript and reorganize the novel with words that are easier to read through.

Yes, this is an English book.

There is no precedent for this kind of theme in China. Although China is a very tolerant country, Ye Kai is not sure whether it will become popular.

He doesn't care whether the book can make money, but he is afraid that the book will hit the street.

20 words, if Ye Kai used the speed of writing those two books before, Ye Kai could finish it in a day or two, and he would never have the idea of ​​revising the manuscript. How tiring, it’s just to make money, so why are you so tired?

This novel is Ye Kai's exploration of the literary world.

Although this step has directly explored foreign countries, it is also a kind of exploration by Ye Kai. It is necessary to create a good environment for this book.

Preferably released in the UK.

Don't think about Ireland, it is absolutely impossible for them to publish such a novel with a British protagonist.

Every long-distance flight is a leap in time.

Sometimes after flying for more than ten hours, you will find that it is daytime when you leave, and it is still daytime when you arrive at the place, when to leave and when to land.

Jet lag is such a magical thing.

　Thank you everyone for listening to my whining yesterday, sorry... this is a negative emotion that needs to be changed!
　　thanks for your support
