Xu and Liu Haisu China are the founders of modern art education, both in their art are opening the road to the first generation of all; but was born in Jiangsu Province, the two masters, up to nearly half a century focus on life settlement, but a series of grievances disputes, is in China's modern art history, one of the most important events. June 21, "scores century" sing issued a book, the author demonstrates the site Jung-jun Liu and Xu for the relevant "evidence", the two old feud re-master to the people in the line of sight.
In 1953, Xu died that year, he was twice on the issue of Liu Haisu then wrote a letter to the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Culture Zhou Yang, but the contents of two letters has been a mystery, researchers have also become a search for clues .

By chance, "century old" author Jung-jun found two letters. Described in two letters are one and the same thing, that is, the character famous painter Liu Haisu problem. Xu Liu Haisu address him in the letter as a "traitor"! It has also become a "century old" the origin of writing a book.

According to the latest information found, Jung-Jun Xu Beihong on whether Liu Haisu letter called a traitor, Xu Liu Haisu students is, whether the mediation had Zhou Enlai, Liu Xu dispute issues, such as the focus of detailed research.

Liu Haisu is this traitor?

Liu Haisu is a traitor in this issue, there are two voices ever. A voice that in the kind of complex instability, the Liu Haisu in order to survive, it is inevitable not soiled shoes sewage. There is also a voice that, during the rule of the Japanese Puppet Regime, Qi can refuse to spend lots of money to the Japanese, can be beard Mei Ming, Chen, scattered his original hunger strikers died, Xu repeatedly raised under the Southeast Asia Relief fund-raising ... ... they are also living under high pressure in the Japanese, with life-threatening and life hard, but why they can do it in troubled times in the Clean living?

Jung Jun detailed research of historical data, to draw two conclusions: Japanese Puppet Regime period, Liu Haisu really done some things detrimental to national integrity. In nature, can not be summarily characterized as a traitor to Liu Haisu.

Jung-jun said that as a traitor Liu Haisu the most powerful evidence is August 23, 1945 presided over by Zhou Enlai's "Xinhua Daily" published a "List of cultural traitor" is the sixth cultural traitor Liu Haisu, name also playing next to three black spots, there was a period following text: "The well-known artist in the Pacific from Southeast Asia after the incident in Shanghai, by the puppet of the lure of Money, under the water, openly spoke of pseudo-journalists, praise 'Great Japan' the 'benevolent' the. "

However, according to Jung Jun research, "Xinhua Daily" of a "cultural traitor list of" unreliable, on the grounds that this directory is "the nature of letters from readers." The paper in the August 21 published the fourth edition of "cultural traitor List" (b) after (that is published there is a cultural traitor Liu Haisu two days before), accompanied by one sentence: to be continued, the supply of materials welcomes reader. August 23, "List of cultural traitor" after the text, while newspaper publishers Pan Zinian wrote, "Readers": "We want to know all aspects of the case traitor friend, to have them."

"Therefore, a traitor to China, said Liu Haisu blame too. Moreover, this is only a letter from a reader, sounds come from the private, and thus can not be a 'cultural traitor List' said Liu Haisu is a traitor." Jun said Jung .

Liu Haisu Xu is the student?

Xu and Liu Haisu grudges, since in the "new era" has been editor in chief of this monthly magazine may be saying: "well-known artists such as Xu, Lin ... ... he (referring to Liu Haisu) students." Legal case from a section of text This rise, and ultimately led to Xu and Liu Haisu as long as nearly a century old scores. It is not in the end Xu Liu Haisu the students?

Jung Jun research, Liu Haisu founded by the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts students in the picture list and a proven record of teaching at that time, Xu Beihong in 1913 had entered the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts picture of the selection of the second phase of learning is an indisputable fact. However, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts is a new picture of the schools, Xu Liu Haisu never to have been granted class, therefore, whether from traditional or modern sense, Xu and Liu Haisu teacher-student relationship does not exist.

One argument: the painter Georgia St. zhuo in "Study Xu" wrote: "But in fact, in this period of time he joined the Modern's first College of Fine Arts - Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts to study drawing. He will strongly there is a reason to play down the matter, but he had joined the way it is. "

Second argument: Wang Zhen in the "Chronicle of a long series Xu" in the record: "Although Mr. Xu in the school about two months, that is saying goodbye, but Liu Haisu ruin his life."

Wang Zhen and research, Xu election should be reported to the Division, rather than being taught Liu Haisu Branch. Therefore, although Xu entered Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts to study drawing, but not with the Liu Haisu studied painting.

Zhou Enlai, Liu Xu-off whether or not the mediation of the dispute?

Jung-Jun told reporters, Zhou Enlai, Liu Xu dispute mediation doubt a lot, and now the history of this flawed by Liu Haisu and biographer of the multi-communication, have already been written into China's modern art history possible.

One argument: According to the survey Jung-jun, Liu Haisu in the "respect for history and hope that the future" and is written in 1952, Zhou Enlai met with him, but the text in the heather is in 1953, in the "sea" in , Liu Haisu and Simplified received about Premier Zhou said he was in 1954.

"In this way, whether in the Zhou Enlai, Liu Haisu have received on this issue to retain a doubt: If Zhou Enlai met with Liu Haisu really, then such an important day, Liu Haisu Why did not remember clearly, but inconsistent, there has been a difference of a year or two years of failure? in the end is in 1952 or 1953 or 1954, then? "said Chun Jung.

Second argument: In 1985, Liu Haisu Yingchao home to visit. Liu Haisu wrote "three decades of long-cherished wish," a text, a detailed record of his visit home in the case of Deng Yingchao. In this paper, Deng said: I and Zhou Enlai in the 30's you will know. This can be inferred, Zhou Enlai, Liu Haisu only know that, unlike Liu Haisu said, they are old friends. Also in this article, Liu Haisu also wrote this paragraph:
"I remember in 1954, I first met after the founding of the PRC Premier Zhou Enlai, he said to me: 'Welcome to Beijing when the opportunity to come to my house and I welcome you, Comrade Deng Yingchao!'"

"According to Liu Haisu himself, after the founding of the first time he met with Zhou Enlai in Shanghai in 1954, this time, Xu had passed away a year, how can mediation Liu Haisu and Xu Zhou Enlai said scores?" Rong Wang Jun said.
