Some time ago, a classmate of Jiang Yuebai, Ji Lian, contacted him and asked him if he could sell the painting in his hand.

Ji Lian is also a miserable person. His family is not very well off. His parents work on construction sites all year round and rely on their meager income to maintain the family's daily expenses.

Now his mother is seriously ill and lying in the hospital ward. Even if he has spent all his savings and borrowed a lot of money from relatives, there is still a big gap.

In desperation, he thought of the painting of Jiang Yuebai in his hand.

It was previously reported on the Internet that someone wanted to spend a lot of money to buy Jiang Yuebai's Chinese paintings, but there was no market for them.

At the beginning, Jiang Yuebai painted a lot of paintings during class, and some of them were collected by his classmates.

Ji Lian got one of them - "A Picture of Red Mountains All Over".

This painting is a relatively special one among all Jiang Yuebai's paintings: the towering mountains occupy the center of the picture, and a large number of cinnabar dots are used, with a thick ink color as the base.

The red trees in the foreground of the painting are like silhouettes, and there are white waterfalls, streams and white tiled houses in the center.

"The mountains are red, and the forests are dyed" is written as a postscript in the upper right corner of the painting, and Jiang Yuebai's signature is also there.

Compared with Jiang Yuebai's other works, this work is quite special in style and color.

Jiang Yuebai was very surprised when he first received his message. In his impression, Ji Lian has always been a very self-disciplined person who strictly demands himself and is very honest.

When he asked whether the painting could be sold, Jiang Yuebai said that the painting was his now, of course it could be sold, and how to deal with the painting was up to him.

Later, I learned about his family situation during the chat and wanted to pay the money for him, but he refused.

Maybe he felt bad and didn't want to trouble Jiang Yuebai again.

Afterwards, Ji Lian posted the relevant pictures of the painting on the Internet, which immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

There are not only fans of Jiang Yuebai, but also those wealthy people who spend money like water, bigwigs in the entertainment industry, masters of Chinese painting...

This painting of red mountains, which has never been seen before, immediately became the subject of discussion among netizens, and they speculated how much the painting could be sold for.

Jiang Yuebai's fans are crazy, and there are countless people who are not short of money. The online offer has been raised again and again, making Ji Lian a little confused.

He didn't expect that the painting would be so valuable. The online offer has reached several million.

If he had known that it was so valuable, he would never sell it.

But now that the words have been spoken, there is no way to take them back.

In the next few days, people kept raising the price, making him undecided.

For this reason, he contacted Jiang Yuebai again, informed him of the situation, and said that he only took the money to save his mother's life, and would return all the extra money to Jiang Yuebai.

But Jiang Yuebai only replied: "The painting is yours, and the money is yours too."

Ji Lian was very moved and full of gratitude to Jiang Yuebai.

The next day, someone from the auction house contacted him and offered to help him auction the painting.

I searched the other party's information on the Internet and found that it was the largest auction company in China.

After confirming the auction time, the auction house staff and an appraiser came to visit in person.

Because Jiang Yuebai's painting style is changeable and not bound by tradition, his works cover a variety of themes such as landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures, so it is almost impossible to fully study it.

The other party brought the appraiser just to see the overall quality of the painting. As for whether it was painted by Jiang Yuebai or whether it was a fake, it remains to be confirmed.

The appraiser carefully examined the masterpiece and began to promote it after confirming that there was no problem. At the same time, he tried every means to contact Jiang Yuebai and asked about the origin of the painting.

After getting Jiang Yuebai's affirmative answer, the people at the auction house became even more excited.

With the auction house's strong promotion, Jiang Yuebai's "A Thousand Mountains Covered in Red" with a size of 110×80cm was sold at a high price of 28 million in the spring auction.

This directly caused a sensation across the country at the time, and shocked those fans.

Especially those former classmates of Jiang Yuebai, they all have more or less paintings by Jiang Yuebai.

Some are drafts, some are complete paintings, but without exception, they are all rare and excellent works.

Of course, not every painting can be sold at a sky-high price like this "A Thousand Mountains Covered in Red".

The main reason is that this is the first painting of Jiang Yuebai that has been leaked, and the style is also different from other paintings.

It is not uncommon to see paintings worth tens of millions, but it is very rare for a 20-year-old musician to paint a work worth 28 million.

This incident also causedThere was a lot of discussion, and some people questioned that it was a hype.

However, such voices did not last long and disappeared.

Afterwards, the new winner of the painting posted a picture and broke the rumor.

The buyer was a 27-year-old woman who revealed her identity and was a fan of Jiang Yuebai.

There were many things such as signatures, group photos and posters of Jiang Yuebai and Jinghua Shuiyue at home.

At the beginning, she even prepared 50 million to get this painting, but in the end, she unexpectedly succeeded in bidding at a price of 28 million, which was far lower than her expectations.

This "Wanshan Hongbiantu" not only represents Jiang Yuebai's personal value, but also set the highest price record of landscape paintings in the market in recent years.

In addition, the woman did not disclose other news. It is only known that she wanted to buy a guzheng with the signatures of all members of Jinghua Shuiyue at a high price, but unfortunately she did not succeed.

The successful auction of this painting made people re-examine and understand Jiang Yuebai.

The paintings of the four college students who were sketching in Likeng Village had already exceeded their expectations after being modified by Jiang Yuebai.

But they themselves did not know it.

Later, when they returned to school after the sketching, their tutor accidentally saw the modified paintings and could not help but marvel at them.

The maturity and artistic expression of these paintings were incomparable to their previous levels, as if they were from completely different painters.

It was incredible that the students could make such amazing progress in one summer vacation.

After asking carefully, it turned out that they met Jiang Yuebai during the sketching process and received his guidance and modifications.

Afterwards, the tutor also focused on explaining these four paintings in class and analyzed the techniques, brushwork and other details in the paintings.

This incident finally alarmed the school leaders. It is said that the four paintings were eventually bought from the four people by the school and displayed in the university museum.
