On July 26, Zhang Junli was wearing a white dress. As her parents came to the Taiyuan Library of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, there was a painting exhibition on the day of the opening ceremony that belonged to her.

44 -year -old Zhang Junli is a painter, and her professional prefix is ​​often added with the word "paralysis". She did not avoid it. In addition to inconvenient behavior, her action and thinking of her work are very strong, and these have laid a solid foundation for her life.

In 1984, Zhang Junli, 6, suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. Two years later, 85%of the joints could not move, and then she was sick in bed. A first -year girl in a righteous primary school began to deviate from the normal track of life. But soon, she started reading painting and painting. These not only helped her pass a lot of time, but also made her gradually clear her future development. From the cartoonist to the Internet to write the writer, to the painter, she has a strong forward -looking characteristic about her life goals, and will make adjustments in time according to reality, but the foundation still loves painting and art.

Zhang Junli described her love for painting is a sense of satisfaction. Every time you complete a work, no matter what quality, this sense of satisfaction will always be accompanied by it. The theme of the first painting exhibition belonging to Zhang Junli's life, "Sharing Fragrant Fragrance, Casting Beautiful" -Zhang Junli Oil Painting Exhibition, a total of 4 exhibition halls, opened for 5 days in a row, exhibited a total of 80 from 2015 to the present Works. This exhibition is also of special significance for Zhang Junli -the work will be seen by more people.

16 -year -old girl diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis

At the art exhibition, Zhang Junli was still uncomfortable because of the long -term bed in a bed chair -she described the discomfort of bones. Even so, in the face of the first oil exhibition of life, her mood was still very excited, and it was a happy thing.

After half an hour by car, Zhang Junli went to Taiyuan Library, accompanied by 70 -year -old parents. Looking at her 80 works in the exhibition hall, Zhang Junli couldn't hide her mood. Her mother has always been behind her. "Lily has suffered too much, she is strong, she is my pride."

At the age of 6, she started to get sick; at the age of 10, she began to paralyze in bed; 44 years old, Zhang Junli held a painting exhibition. For more than 30 years, her body deteriorated step by step, and she also walked all the way through will and the support of her family.

In 1984, 6 -year -old Zhang Junli just entered the first grade of elementary school and lived in a small country with his parents. At that time, she could go to school normally and play with her classmates. But in the fall, she began to feel the pain of her fingers, "I will hurt my finger with a pen." Later, when Zhang Junli jumped with his classmates, he also found that his feet were wrong. I feel like there is a stone in the shoes that have a stone and the heels hurt, but they are strange to check in the shoes, there is nothing. "At that time, the parents took her to look at the township medicine, and the injection infusion had not improved for a month.

After that, her parents took her to a railway hospital near the house. The doctor's preliminary diagnosis suspected that she had rheumatoid. "If the doctor said that if he does not control well, he will be paralyzed within three years. He asked my dad to take me to the Provincial Provincial Hospital to check it." Zhang Junli told the upstream news (reported by the mailbox: [email protected]) reporter, She didn't understand the doctor at that time, but I remembered that her parents were very anxious after hearing the paralysis.

After that, Zhang Junli was taken to a large hospital for examination. At the age of 6, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Although her parents still took her active treatment, the condition deteriorated quickly. Zhang Junli remembered that when she was diagnosed, she could go back to class, but her condition became more and more serious after winter. At the end of 1984, she did not attend because of illness. At a young age, she did not realize that she could never go back to the classroom afterwards. "I always think that this disease can be cured. I think this is almost the same as a cold. Okay, I can go to school."

2 I can't afford to start drawing

In just two years from 1984 to 1986, Zhang Junli's rheumatoid arthritis deteriorated sharply. The main symptoms were joint swelling and pain, and it was spreading and erosion. The joints, then all the joints of the ankles, wrists, shoulders, elbows, legs, etc., all the joints of thighs and calves are here one by one. "Zhang Junli described this pain, as if someone was tearing his body.

The deterioration of the condition happened step by step. Zhang Junli could be completely paralyzed from the beginning to bed. At the age of 8, she realized that her illness was not good. "When I was lying on the bed, I knew that I thought the previous thought of the former thought. The good idea of ​​the disease is wrong. "For the 8 -year -old Zhang Junli, it is also a kind of torment than the difficult pain that is difficult to pass.

Not long after, the father of a teacher borrowed a book from the school library to his daughter. "After my dad took it back, I started reading books, reading pictorials, and reading Chinese questions. I felt very fun, and my attention slowly moved."

Before suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, Zhang Junli liked to paint. She remembered that her parents lived in the dormitory changed into the school classroom. She often draws on the blackboard, caught up with rainy days, and she will also paint on the branches in the mud. "I just feel that no matter whether it is painted well at that time, I will feel very satisfied after the painting." The love of painting made Zhang Junli think of painting after illness. Zhang Junli remembered that after he asked for painting, his father was converted into a painting board with a folder of his mother, and she usually painted it on it with a pencil. At that time, because the family conditions were limited, the book that her father helped her borrowed it was not enough to read her. She would cherish a little bit every time she cherished, and then draw a while to draw, so she passed the time.

In the blink of an eye, in the 1990s, during that period, Zhang Junli began to contact Japanese comics and learned that painting comics could make money. In her teenage, she has begun to think about her future life and does not want to become a burden on her parents.

In 1991, the cartoon "Saint Seiya" adapted from the comic book of Japanese cartoonist Che Tian Masaki swept the country. Zhang Junli found a new world. "I like the style of Japanese -style comics very much, and I heard that painting comics can be published on the magazine, or the manuscript fee can be obtained." Zhang Junli felt like he seemed to find a little bit of life, "I started to copy the cartoons Characters, then learn how to draw people, big eyes, small mouths, I used to draw freely, but then I have a goal. I know what to learn. Okay. "Zhang Junli said that during that period, some comic magazines began to appear in China.

In 1994, Zhang Junli's comics were published in the "Science Fiction King" that was published shortly after the publication. After this single comic was published, the magazine sent her a magazine, which excited Zhang Junli, who was published for the first time. In June 1995, the comic story she created was published in "Science Fiction King". She received the first manuscript fee in her life -800 yuan, which was equivalent to the salary of his father at that time. This manuscript fee gave Zhang Junli a lot. confidence.

Zhang Junli has never wanted to become a burden on her family. After she became ill, she often heard her neighbors or parents of colleagues worrying that she could only rely on others in the future. So strong, she has been looking for her own way of living. At that time, she seemed to be a professional cartoonist to achieve her goal. Since then, she has created two comic stories, Cecilia and Diamonds.

3 After the comic towards the bottleneck

With the development of the times, some anime magazines have been suspended, and Zhang Junli also found that many students studying anime are better than her. Due to physical reasons, completing a work will consume a lot of time and energy, and the results are not satisfactory. In the end, she gave up the dream of the cartoonist. "Because I don't have the foundation of painting, I have painted a bottleneck, that is, when I want to draw a story, I can't draw some places, so I found that there is no foundation. It is difficult to be a cartoonist. Difficult things. "

In 2005, Zhang Junli began to contact the Internet. She asked her parents to buy a laptop for herself. "In the case of my very distressed, I found that the computer seems to be a good thing. I want a computer. "

With the computer, Zhang Junli started writing novels on the Internet. In 8 years, Zhang Junli has created 4 online novels, nearly 1 million words, and one of them signed to the novel website. She also completed the autobiography.

During the interview, Zhang Junli recalled a past. After ten years of writing novels, a girl found her on Weibo and asked if she was the author of that year. "She said that I used to watch your novels before, and she thought it was good to watch. I still miss it now. If you want to look at it again, I will send her a manuscript. Someone feels good to remember me. "

From 2005 to 2014, Zhang Junli has been creating novel creation, but these have not brought her substantial income. "I will try to compress as much as possible, and I rarely buy clothes." Even so, Zhang Junli still feels worth it. Tell upstream journalists that I don't only like literature but also music. "I think these can be connected. For example, when I listen to a song, I will have pictures in front It will conceive it. The text is the same. When I see a description of a work, I may think of a picture. "

Zhang Junli has many years of friends named Yu Yimei. The two began to be a pen friend from the period of "Science Fiction King" magazine. Friendship has continued to this day. Under the encouragement and guidance of Yu Yimei, Zhang Junli began to study sketching. Yu Yimei also gave her a class of teachers of the Central Academy of Fine Arts on the Internet. I feel about how to draw sketches, so I started drawing by himself. "After that, Zhang Junli will also find the information to learn about sketching.

Because the body is paralyzed in bed all year round, the body's joints are also stiff. Whether it is writing novels or drawing, some simple lines are difficult to be ordinary for her. Sometimes drawing sketch requires a large area of ​​paving. It is inconvenient to support the painting board with one hand and one hand, so that her father made a new painting board and a triangle bracket with a moon cake box cover. The limited right hand can draw again.

In 2014, when recording a program, Yu Yimei first proposed that Zhang Junli could be an oil painter. This seemed to be a god of night in Zhang Junli at the time. "How could I think it was possible at the time. I felt so surprised when she told me. "Even so, Zhang Junli still opened her own oil painting journey. Zhang Junli is creating oil painting.

4 Enter the oil painting world

"I know that I can't draw watercolors lying down to paint. Watercolor must be used in water, and the painting board must be stood up. I must not control this. You can try oil painting. In August of the same year, when she participated in a program, the show team asked her what dreams would she want to realize. She said that she wanted a set of oil painting tools and got this gift. Zhang Junli opened her oil painting learning.

With the oil painting tool, Zhang Junli still didn't know where to start. A local reporter introduced her to a college student studying oil painting. After the other party gave her basic guidance, she began to try oil painting.

Zhang Junli clearly remembers that the first painting oil painting was on January 1, 2015. When the first stroke went down, there was a sense of joy in her heart. The feeling in my own hands let me know that this pigment and this painting method is very suitable for me. "Zhang Junli said that there was a kind of ecstasy that found something suitable for you.

From the beginning of the foundation to trying to copy to the current personal creation, Zhang Junli has persisted for more than 7 years, and sometimes she wants to be her work that can be seen. She finally had the first painting exhibition in her life.

Zhang Junli described that the first painting exhibition was like completing a lifelong event for the painter. Before the exhibition day, she posted several times on her personal platform, looking forward to the date of the exhibition.

From July 26th to July 30th, 2022, after 5 months of preparation, the "Share Fragrant and Casting Beautiful" Heart -Zhang Junli Oil Painting Exhibition was held in Taiyuan City Library in Shanxi Province. At the opening ceremony, Zhang Junli The mother told reporters that her daughter was waiting for a wedding during the opening of the painting exhibition.

At the opening scene of the exhibition, Zhang Junli's good friend Yu Yimei also came from Sichuan to accompany. At the scene, Yu Yimei also felt that Zhang Junli's life experience and spirit had been encouraging her to move forward. "She told me with her own actions that if you persist, you will be recognized by everyone and will succeed."

"How to improve the level of painting and draw some of his unique styles." Speaking of planning for the future, Zhang Junli hopes that his life can be better. "Nowadays, the parents are getting older. Lai Yue feels anxious. "Zhang Junli is still very optimistic. Now living with her parents, she has been satisfied, which has satisfied her.
