A photo, a military -civilian fish and water love behind a sculpture

In 2008, some areas of the southern part of China have encountered ice and snow disaster for fifty years. During this ice and snow disaster, during the Spring Festival, as a traffic transit hub in the south, a large number of passengers stayed in the Guangzhou Railway Station in a short time. In the face of the sudden weather disaster, the people of Guangzhou and the anti -ice relief. On the railway station square, the Chinese People's Liberation Army persisted day and night, holding hands to build an adult wall, and guided passengers to leave in an orderly manner, becoming an unforgettable picture during the Spring Festival in 2008.

On February 14, 2008, "Guangzhou Daily" published a unique "tracing notice" on the front page, a photography report of the reporter Shao Quanda. In the photo photo, the four PLA soldiers fell asleep after 39 hours of duty.

On February 14, 2008, "Guangzhou Daily" published on the front version of "Tracking".

This tracing notice caused a huge response at the time. The citizens scrambled to provide clues. After four days of continuous searching, they finally found these four "most lovely soldiers" in a certain army in Guangdong. They are Long Fusong, Ou Chenyan, Huang Yongmao and Jinhua. They are all first -class officers and the elites of the company.

On February 18, 2008, after the "cuteness of the big soldiers" was found, the "Guangzhou Daily" published relevant reports.

A photo caused a national sensation and attracted the attention of the artist. At that time, the Guangzhou sculptor Xu Hongfei created the sculpture of "Nine Days and Night Night" and settled in Guangzhou Sculpture Park with this photo as a prototype, allowing the people to remember the soldiers who worked hard for the people's lives and safety for the people. The sculpture fixed the moment when several soldiers moved in a special environment, expressing the "ordinary and great" risk spirit of the soldiers of the peaceful era, and restored the history of the "very Spring Festival" in 2008.

Over the past few years, this sculpture has witnessed the development of Guangzhou cities, and also witnessed the spiritual inheritance of the military and civilians in Guangzhou.

In order to retain this precious memory, on the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the "Guangzhou Daily", Guangzhou Daily specially invited Xu Hongfei to re -produce the sculpture. On July 29, this sculpture was placed in the Guangbao Center Park, and Xu Hongfei also came to the scene to unveil the sculpture.

Reporter's memories of shooting details: Professional pride originated from influence

Seeing the works taken 14 years ago, they were re -made into a sculpture to land in Guangdao Center.

In the winter of 2008, Shao Quanda came to Guangzhou's first winter. Although it has been more than ten years, many memories have been blurred, but the cold of that winter and the crowded of the Guangzhou Railway Station still impressed him.

At that time, the large area of ​​the southern section of the Beijing -Guangzhou Railway was delayed, and nearly 200,000 returnees returned to the Guangzhou Railway Station. "All members of the Guangzhou Daily Photography Department dispatched the report to report this ice and snow disaster. We tried to try to set the room near the hotel near Guangzhou Railway Station and put the computer and camera equipment over there to make a 24 -hour interview and press release. Any news progress. "

On February 4, 2008, the impact of the ice and snow disaster at the time had begun to ease. When Tian Gangliang, Shao Quanda and his colleagues went to Guangzhou Railway Station from the hotel to find news shooting materials on the square. "When I walked to the bus station next to the railway station, the scene in front of me shocked me: the PLA soldiers who adhered to the railway station in the open -air station were resting in place, and the whole row of soldiers sat on the ground and quietly. Sleeping, my eyes were attracted by the PLA soldier on the side of the railing on the side of the railing. The waiting railings of the station were pushed out of the row of the PLA soldiers. It looks like still sticking to the post, tranquility is like a statue. "

The news was keen, and he quickly changed into the telephoto lens, quietly shooting these pictures and then left. At noon that day, Shao Quanda sent these photos with other photos.

"On February 5th, the first time this photo was reported, published on the front page, but it was just a small piece on the side. With the continuous fighting of the people across the country, the impact of ice and snow disaster began to weaken significantly. February 14th, on February 14, I returned to Guangzhou when I finished the Spring Festival vacation. On the first day of work, I saw the first page of the newspaper published the photo of the four sleeping PLA soldiers. Tired of the children who are tired of 'standing ", where are you?" Where are you? "

At this time, Shao Quanda knew that the photo he took attracted the attention of the editor -in -chief. They wanted to use the influence of the Guangzhou Daily to find the four PLA fighters, "because they are the epitome and microcosm of the people of Guangzhou to fight the snow disaster and The model, the people of Guangzhou want to thank them! "

In the subsequent interviews, the interview team also learned the stories of the soldiers. From the beginning, after being worried about the photos of the photos, he was investigated for the Jun Junjun, and learned that he was gratitude to many people. The young soldiers also moved to tears: "We just did what to do. If we are so concerned, we are the cutest people. It is worthwhile to get the recognition of the people. "

Xu Hongfei: The media is an important force to promote the development of art

Recalling the scene of creating this sculpture that year, Xu Hongfei still felt vividly. He agrees with a sentence that French sculpture artist Rodin once said: "A good sculpture work is equal to a biography."

He believes that real life can be recorded with affection and can be achieved through different carriers. A photo can record a special moment. As a sculptor, you should also use sculpture to record this moment.

"When I saw the photo of" Guangzhou Daily ", I was very moved! At that time, their sleeping state made me feel like a sculpture, so I used a more realistic method to make them as the prototype. A sculpture work, "he said.

At that time, Xu Hongfei dynamically created a small manuscript based on the characters in the photo. In order to portray the image of each warrior more vividly, he also invited four "cute soldiers" to the studio to visit and exchange. Create and finally complete the final draft.

Today, sculptures that have been re -made through hair molding, copper casting, surface polishing and other links have been placed in the Guangbao Center Park. Xu Hongfei believes that it is very meaningful. "Today, I will introduce this heavy" Nine Days and Night Nights "to you again, hoping to give a high respect to our cutest PLA soldiers! At the same time, thank the Guangzhou Daily And support. The media is an important force to promote the development of art. The art of art has promoted the popularization and improvement of art with the help of the media. I hope that more artists have contributed to recording a good era and telling Chinese stories. "
