Chapter Eight: His Friend(1/2)

—————————————————

......

The man named Xu Lai.

He should rarely use the word "friend" to describe his relationship with a person.

In Hei Tan's opinion, a big devil like him should have no friends.

Such a demon king should not need friends.

"What's his name?"

Black Charcoal asked.

"Vincent."

Xu Lai said softly: "Vincent Van Gogh, just like you guessed, it's that person."

Hei Tan couldn't speak anymore.

As a young man from the earth.

Although he has no attainment in painting, he knows very well what the name means.

He can't draw, but he knows life.

Especially the tragic lives of those celebrities.

"van gogh......"

Vincent Van Gogh was poor all his life and left about 1,080 paintings.

Van Gogh was born into a prominent artistic family, and his family had a very social status at that time.

Van Gogh's father was a highly respected Christian pastor, and several of Van Gogh's uncles were also famous painting merchants at that time.

But this does not mean that he can live a prosperous, stable and smooth life.

Instead, he is a suffering person.

Start with a picture of "The Potato Eater".

That should be Van Gogh's early masterpiece, depicting the poor life of farmers. Later, he went to work in a coal mine, caring about the lower-level workers who worked, and using their own food and clothing to fill the workers.

However, he was rejected by the upper class and ridiculed by the people around him, thinking that he was a lunatic, and finally expelled.

Then he met Gauguin.

Gauguin was a relatively important person in Van Gogh's life. Van Gogh liked Gauguin's paintings very much and admired his art very much.

Gauguin also praised Van Gogh's "Sunflower", which also made Van Gogh very excited.

A young critic once praised Van Gogh as one of the few recognitions Van Gogh received in his life, but Van Gogh still responded that he believed that Gauguin deserved such praise.

Later, Van Gogh invited Gauguin to live in the small town of Al in southern France, and they lived together for more than two months.

Gradually, their creations became different, and the well-known tragedy of Van Gogh, also happened during this period.

At this time, Van Gogh had frequent attacks of mental illness.

Finally, Gaugun left.

Van Gogh's paintings were rarely recognized throughout his life, and his life was never understood. Dr. Gache was the attending doctor of Van Gogh's mental illness. He liked to collect paintings. Perhaps it was not easy to meet a person in Van Gogh's life who was willing to communicate with him and understand his artistic world. So Van Gogh specially made a portrait of Dr. Gache.

Fortunately, Van Gogh was surrounded by his younger brother Theo and he had always supported him. Theo was a young and promising artist. He had always supported Van Gogh's life. He encouraged and supported Van Gogh's dream and believed that Van Gogh would become a great painter.

Van Gogh's mental illness became more and more serious, and he was already overwhelmed. In order not to drag down his younger brother Theo, he chose to commit suicide a month after he cut his ears.

Six months later, Theo also passed away. His tomb was next to Van Gogh's tomb.

Vincent Van Gogh and Theo Van Gogh will never separate again.

Theo van Gogh's widow continued her husband's persistence during his lifetime.

Unfortunately, I still failed to do it.

In people's hearts, Van Gogh's life was regrettable, discriminated against by the world and not recognized.

Watching Van Gogh.

He suddenly thought of Tadis.

I thought of Doctor Who.

What did Black Charcoal suddenly understand?

His tears then fell.

"Why are you crying?"

Yagami Taiichi looked at the black charcoal that rubbed his eyes in surprise.

"You don't understand."

Hei Tan wiped his tears twice before stopping:

"What is the meaning of seeing this!"

He turned around and asked Xu Lai:

"What kind of world is this...?"

"You can understand it as a reflection."

Xu Lai said softly:

"The shadows of countless worlds are reflected here, chaotic intertwined. You will meet many people you unexpectedly, and many people you meet but are difficult to see."

The Eight God Taiyi did not know Van Gogh.

He wanted to know what kind of person was so moved by Hei Tan.

Black Charcoal quotes the comment from the TV series:

“He is undoubtedly the most popular, greatest painter in history and the most beloved.

His ability to control colors is unparalleled, and he sublimates the pain he endured in the tormented sound into fascinating beauty.

Pain is easy to describe, but passion and pain describe the spectacular, moving and joyful aspects of the world...

His achievements are unprecedented, and perhaps no one will come later. In my heart, the strange man wandering in the fields of Provence.

Not only the greatest painter in the world, but also one of the greatest people of all time.”

This time it was Yagami's turn to be stunned.

Hei Tan really couldn't adapt to the first time he said such meaningful words.

Almost everyone I hears him complaining about Xu Lai’s fault on weekdays.

I didn't expect that there was someone in this world who could get such a high praise from him.

But why haven't I heard of this person?

"If such a powerful person is not very famous?"

asked the Eight God Taiyi.

“So, that’s the point of the problem.”

Xu said, "After so many years, even if Vincent was poor during his lifetime, he might become popular after his death. Don't many celebrities become famous in this way? But why haven't you heard of Vincent Van Gogh's name yet?"

"yes....."

Yagami asked repeatedly: "Why?"

Xu Lai looked at the two of them.

"You're much calmer than this cat."

At this moment, the black carbon, whose hearts are flooded with fans, has no ability to think calmly.

Not to mention, such a tangled issue.

"The simplest truth is that someone has done something."

Xu said:

"Maybe, it's not necessarily human."

Yagami Taiichi fell into thinking.

Vincent was still discussing with the tavern owner to exchange paintings for a bottle of wine.

Xu Lai, who really couldn't listen, spoke out:

"I will pay for his alcohol money. I will let him drink as much as he wants."

The tavern owner asked immediately:

"You're sure."

But Vincent looked unhappy and refused Xu Lai: "Thank you sir, but I can buy wine myself."
