[Explanation] Walking in Wushi Village, Xiaohe Township, Liuyang, Hunan, you can see creative oil paintings of different shapes everywhere.

The stones in the fields, the walls of the houses...the whole village has become a canvas for peasant painters and deaf students, making people feel like they are in a picture scroll.

Entering the Wushi Creative Base, which integrates creation, exhibition, trading and research, I saw that under the guidance of tutor Zou Jinxiang, more than a dozen students from special education vocational schools and tourists who came to experience were holding stones. Paint carefully on it.

　　Xiaohe Township, Liuyang, Hunan, located deep in the mountains on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, was once underdeveloped due to inconvenient transportation.

In recent years, through the development of rural tourism and peasant studios, the life of the villagers has been getting better and better, and the village has been completely new.

　　Zou Jinxiang and her husband, who have gone to Shenzhen to do oil painting business since 1993, learned by chance that a "little river in painting" is being built here. , the husband and wife came here to paint with deaf students and local farmers.

They not only "turned waste into treasure" from the river rocks in Wushi Village, but also made use of soil, leaves, paper towels, straw, etc. as materials for painting.

　　We just wanted to use local materials here, so we turned the stones in the river in Wushi Village into a kind of art; we included this kind of mud and leaves as a theme. You can see that the mud is very convenient, and you can see it on the back of the mountain. Dig it, and then this leaf, you can pick it from the door here, and then the lotus leaf, there are many lotus flowers here, we can use it.

　　[Explanation] Zou Jinxiang introduced that in 2017, Wushi Village began to introduce studios to train peasant painters.

Under the guidance of professional painters, they can increase their income by 3,000-6,000 yuan per month by completing paintings in their slack time.

In 2019, the local area switched from landscape painting to oil painting, and jointly built a Wushi creative base with a number of colleges and universities and the Hunan Young Painters Association.

In addition to teaching peasant painters to paint creative oil paintings, many deaf students of art majors also serve as young painters to provide more youthful creativity here.

　　I think these children are still very good and cheerful.

(Communicate with them) We will type, and then I will learn the sign language with them. You see, it means: I will have a holiday tomorrow.

Deaf students come here every year for internships. We all hope that their internships can stay here for employment, so that more children can be employed here.

　　[Explanation] Zou Jinxiang told reporters that now, the works of peasant painters and deaf students have sold well all over the country, and their cultural and creative products are also popular with online markets and tourists. A complete industrial chain has been built in the local area. Out of the vibrant black stone brand.

　　After we set up a creative oil painting base, it can be said that we have achieved a win-win situation.

Whether it is an intern or an entrepreneur here, they already have such a stage, with teachers to teach, and with such a venue, they can also realize their dreams.

The most important thing is that we have expanded our influence (Wushi Village), and the economy also has a condition for development.
