Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

"Of course I'm interested!" Wang Qiang answered excitedly, "What project is it specifically?"

Li Jian explained that their company was promoting a new product and needed to take some creative and visually impactful photos, preferably with some urban landscapes and humanistic elements. Wang Qiang was filled with enthusiasm and had already begun to conceive various shooting scenes in his mind.

The two chatted for a long time and finally decided to go to the company for a meeting the next morning to discuss the details of the cooperation. Wang Qiang said goodbye to Li Jian and returned home with full enthusiasm. He began to organize his photography equipment and consult relevant materials to prepare for tomorrow's meeting.

The next morning, Wang Qiang came to Li Jian's company and met other members of the project team. Everyone welcomed him and began to discuss the requirements and goals of the project in detail. Wang Qiang listened carefully to everyone's opinions and, based on his own photography experience, put forward some suggestions, which were unanimously recognized by the team.

The next few days were busy and fulfilling for Wang Qiang. He went out with his team to shoot photos from various angles and lighting conditions. His creativity and skills were fully utilized, and each photo was full of vitality and artistic sense. The team was very satisfied with his work and believed that these photos fully met their requirements and even exceeded their expectations.

One night, Wang Qiang returned home, physically exhausted but in a very happy mood. He sat in his study, looking at the photos he had just taken, and felt a sense of accomplishment. He knew that he had found a new goal and direction, and was no longer idle like before.

"Dad, did you take a lot of beautiful photos today again?" The daughter's voice came from the door.

Wang Qiang turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, Dad took a lot of beautiful photos today. I will show them to you tomorrow."

The daughter ran over, hugged his arms, and said happily, "Dad, the photos you take are the best!"

His wife also walked into the study, looked at the smile on Wang Qiang's face, and said gently: "Qiangzi, I'm glad that you have found something you like to do. You look very energetic."

Wang Qiang nodded, held his wife's hand, and was filled with gratitude. He knew that he could not have come this far without the support and encouragement of his family. He decided to continue working hard, not only for himself but also for his family, so that they could live a better life.

In the following days, Wang Qiang devoted more energy to photography and creative work. He continued to learn new photography techniques, tried different shooting styles, and completed one project after another with his team. His works received more and more attention and recognition, and even the media began to interview him and report his story and works.

Once, when he was being interviewed, the reporter asked him: "What made you so successful in photography?"

Wang Qiang thought for a moment and replied, "I think it's the love for life and the support for my family. Every moment is unique, and I hope to record these beautiful moments with my camera and share them with everyone."

After the interview, Wang Qiang returned home. His daughter and wife had already prepared dinner. They sat down together and shared their experiences and feelings of the day. Wang Qiang looked at the smiling faces of his family, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction. He knew that his efforts had not been in vain and that his life was moving in a better direction.

One night, Wang Qiang was sorting photos in his study again, and suddenly thought of Jia Dongxu. He took out a photo of Jia Dongxu's mother that he had taken in the alley, and was filled with emotion. Although Jia Dongxu had left, his memory was still in Wang Qiang's heart. He decided to make this photo into a commemorative work and give it to Jia's mother to let her know that Jia Dongxu's memory was still cherished.

The next day, Wang Qiang framed the photo and took it to visit Jia's mother. When Jia saw the photo, tears flashed in her eyes. She gently stroked the photo and murmured, "Dongxu, look, Qiangzi has always remembered you."

Wang Qiang held Jia's mother's hand and said firmly: "Auntie, although Jia Dongxu is gone, his memory will always be in our hearts. We will always remember him."

It was a sunny day with a clear blue sky. Wang Qiang decided to relax and stop working and taking photos. He took a folding chair and sat in the yard to bask in the sun, enjoying a moment of peace. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making him feel extremely comfortable.

"Wang Qiang, why are you so leisurely today?" Old Zhang from next door saw him and asked with a smile.

Wang Qiang lazily replied: "I've been too busy with work recently. Today I want to relax and bask in the sun."

Old Zhang nodded, walked over and sat on the stone bench next to him, and lit a cigarette: "You are always busy, it's time to learn to enjoy life."

Wang Qiang smiled and thought that what Old Zhang said was right. Since Jia Dongxu's incident, he has been busy with various things, as if he was escaping from the emptiness in his heart. Now, he realized that occasional relaxation is also necessary.

"By the way, Old Zhang, what have you been busy with recently?" Wang Qiang asked casually.

Old Zhang blew out a puff of smoke and said slowly, "What else can I do? I can only grow flowers and vegetables at home and live with your aunt. This ordinary life also has its fun."

Wang Qiang nodded. He could understand Old Zhang's feelings. This simple and peaceful life might be exactly what he needed. The two chatted for a while, and then Old Zhang got up and left to go home to prepare lunch.

Wang Qiang continued to bask in the sun, closed his eyes, and let his thoughts drift in his mind. He recalled the scenes of playing with Jia Dongxu in the alley when he was a child. Those carefree days seemed to be just yesterday. Jia Dongxu's laughter seemed to still echo in his ears.

"Wang Qiang, what are you daydreaming about?" His wife's voice suddenly broke his thoughts.

Wang Qiang opened his eyes and saw his wife standing at the door with a plate of fruit in her hands. He smiled and said, "Nothing, just reminiscing about the past."

His wife came over, put the fruit next to him, and said softly: "You should learn to relax a little and stop being so tense all the time."

Wang Qiang nodded, picked up an apple, took a bite, and the sweet juice spread in his mouth, making him feel happy. He knew that his wife was right, life is not just about work and responsibility, but also about enjoyment and relaxation.

Just as he was enjoying the sunshine and fruits, his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Jian calling.

"Hello, Li Jian, what's the matter?" Wang Qiang answered the phone and asked.
