Kwimbali yakutshanje yobugcisa baseTshayina, ibali lomkroli othile libalasele. Ngomsebenzi wobugcisa obuthatha amashumi asixhenxe eminyaka, uLiu Huanzhang oneminyaka engama-92 ubudala uye wabona amanqanaba amaninzi abalulekileyo kwindaleko yobugcisa bexesha laseTshayina.

“Umfanekiso oqingqiweyo yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi bam,” watsho uLiu. “Ndiyenza yonke imihla, kude kube ngoku. Ndiyenza ngenxa yomdla nothando. Yeyona nto ndiyithandayo kwaye indinika ulwaneliseko.”

Iitalente kunye namava kaLiu Huanzhang aziwa kakhulu eTshayina. Umboniso wakhe othi "Ehlabathini" unika ithuba elihle lokuba abaninzi baqonde ngcono ukuphuhliswa kobugcisa bemihla ngemihla baseTshayina.

"Kubakroli okanye amagcisa esizukulwana sikaLiu Huanzhang, uphuhliso lwabo lobugcisa luhambelana ngokusondeleyo notshintsho lwexesha," utshilo uLiu Ding, umlondolozi.

Ethanda umzobo ukusukela ebuntwaneni, uLiu Huanzhang wafumana ikhefu lethamsanqa kwasekuqaleni komsebenzi wakhe. Ngeminyaka yee-1950 kunye ne-60s, inani lamasebe emifanekiso eqingqiweyo, okanye ii-majors, zasekwa kumaziko obugcisa kwilizwe lonke. U-Liu wamenywa ukuba abhalise kwaye wafumana isikhundla sakhe.

"Ngenxa yoqeqesho kwi-Central Academy of Fine Arts, wafunda indlela abakroli abafunda ngayo i-modernism eYurophu kwiminyaka ye-1920 kunye ne-1930," kusho uLiu Ding. Kwangaxeshanye, wazibonela ngawakhe indlela abafundi afunda nabo ababefunda ngayo nendlela ababeyidalile ngayo. La mava ebebalulekile kuye.”

Ngo-1959, kwisikhumbuzo seminyaka elishumi yokusekwa kwePeople's Republic of China, ikomkhulu lelo lizwe, iBeijing, kwabakho ukwakhiwa kwezakhiwo ezibalulekileyo, kuquka iHolo Elikhulu Yabantu.

Elinye yayiliBala Lemidlalo Labasebenzi LaseBeijing, yaye eli lisalele omnye weyona ncwadi yaziwayo kaLiu.

"Aba ngabadlali bebhola ababini," utshilo uLiu Huanzhang. “Omnye uyawisa, ngelixa omnye ebaleka nebhola. Ndikhe ndabuzwa amaxesha amaninzi malunga neemodeli, njengoko bekungekho buchule buphambili bokulwa phakathi kwabadlali baseTshayina ngelo xesha. Ndibaxelele ukuba ndiyibone kumfanekiso wesiHungary. ”

Njengoko igama lakhe lalikhula, uLiu Huanzhang waqala ukucinga ngendlela anokwakha ngayo kwiitalente zakhe.

Ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1960, wagqiba ekubeni ahambe ngendlela, ukuze afumanise ngakumbi ngendlela abantu bamandulo ababesenza ngayo imikrolo. ULiu wafunda imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaBuddha eqingqwe ematyeni amakhulu okanye amawaka eminyaka eyadlulayo. Wafumanisa ukuba ubuso bezi bodhisattvas bahluke kakhulu - babonakala begcinwe kwaye bezolile, bevule amehlo.

Kungekudala emva koko, uLiu wenza omnye wemisebenzi yakhe yobugcisa, ebizwa ngokuba “yiNenekazi eliNcinci.”

“Esi siqwenga sakrolwa ngezakhono zaseTshayina emva kokuba ndibuyile kukhenketho lokufunda eDunhuang Mogao Grottoes,” utshilo uLiu Huanzhang. “Linenekazi eliselula, elikhangeleka lizolile kwaye linyulu. Ndidale umfanekiso ngendlela amagcisa akudala enza ngayo imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kaBuddha. Kuloo mifanekiso iqingqiweyo, iiBodhisattvas zonke zivuleke amehlo.

Iminyaka yoo-1980 yayiyiminyaka elishumi ebalulekileyo kumagcisa aseTshayina. Ngomgaqo-nkqubo we-China wohlaziyo kunye nokuvula, baqala ukufuna utshintsho kunye nokutsha.

Kwakungaloo minyaka apho uLiu Huanzhang wafudukela kwinqanaba eliphezulu. Uninzi lwemisebenzi yakhe mincinci ngokwentelekiso, ubukhulu becala kuba ebethanda ukuzisebenzela, kodwa nangenxa yokuba enebhayisekile yokuhambisa izinto.

Usuku nosuku, iqhekeza elinye ngexesha. Ukusukela oko uLiu wagqiba iminyaka engama-60, ukuba kukho nantoni na, iziqwenga zakhe ezintsha zibonakala zisondele kwinyani, ngokungathi zifunda kwihlabathi elimngqongileyo.

Le misebenzi irekhode uqwalaselo lukaLiu Huanzhang lwehlabathi. Kwaye, kwabaninzi, benza icwecwe lamashumi asixhenxe eminyaka edlulileyo.
