Chapter 301: Intentionally Conceiving This New Life
The painting in Ji Liancheng’s home was the same, all the vines were struggling. If you didn’t look closely, you’d really think they had broken through the darkness. But they hadn’t at all, they were still in the darkness...
"I don’t really understand your paintings either; I was just describing how I felt after seeing them. The feeling is that your paintings are searching for the energy of life."
Guan Qi seemed shocked for a moment. "Everyone thinks my paintings are inspirational, full of struggle against constraints, full of the power of life. Even when trapped in a desperate situation, they are still striving to find vitality, never giving up. You are the first person to say my paintings are full of despair."
"Ah, I see." Lin Zhi realized her paintings could indeed be interpreted in the way she mentioned.
"I really don’t understand art. I said your paintings were all about despair, but it turns out I misunderstood."
"No, you are right!" Guan Qi suddenly said.
Lin Zhi was stunned!
What did she say?
Guan Qi seemed to have found a kindred spirit, barely able to hide her excitement, her voice even trembling a bit.
"You are right... My paintings are all filled with despair, there’s no inspirational spirit at all. They seem to be struggling for survival, but actually, they are all desperate because they can never touch the hope of survival. They use all their strength but still can’t reach it. So they are all filled with the most vigorous vitality, which is actually... just the final burst of life."
Lin Zhi looked at her in shock, were these paintings really symbolizing herself?
Was it because she couldn’t find the hope to continue living that she committed suicide?
