Painting is not smooth, he will Shuaidong Xi, closed the door shouting roared. Neighbors began to talk in whispers, his eyes look as if he was mad at me. Guo Haiping was nonchalant: "Do you know of Van Gogh cut off his ears, Munch's suicide in a mental hospital it? They are all great artists, painting forbidden, as it is my intention to have been mad, do not qualify." At the same time, Guo Haiping also feel depressed: "What my life and you do not like, labeled 'mental illness' label, it is necessary to have mercy on you by, looking down?" As a result, the 42-year-old man so sudden surprise, turn off the coffee shop and decided to move to live in a mental hospital. He approached the mentally ill would like to explore the differences between people of the world. He even want to teach them to paint, explore the genius and the distance between the Mad Hatter. Easel with a brush, carrying luggage blankets, Guo Haiping came to the Hill of the ancestral hall of the Nanjing mental hospital, was shut out. How can normal people to live in a mental hospital? Guo Haiping tenacious devotion than people think, 10 months later, he finally walked into the door to door, received a blue stripe suit the patient, was admitted to a mental hospital. Familiar with the situation, Guo Haiping with the support of the hospital, opened a special art room. On the first day, activity rooms, to the more than 100 patients. In the face of oil paintings, watercolors, color pencils, Crayons, clay, and other art tools, some of them turn away, while others take hold Nie Nie, with interest.

Just kind of person, Guo Haiping also found that the master of the two figures. Zhang Yu-bao of a 32-year-old. He gave each of his paintings have taken the name: "angry" and "struggle" and "split" ... ... "struggle" is the background color of the bright orange, numerous large black spots around the middle of expression curtailed by the head, Impressive. He painted a way that can easily convey emotion. There is also a named Wang Jun, whether painting, "The first time I saw the train" or "in front of the home of the three big mountains", are painting vertical view. Wang Jun said: "From the look in the sky, trains and mountains is like that." In this regard, Guo Haiping dumbfounded.

Late last year, Guo Haiping with these extraordinary paintings, published "The Art of madness", in Age Of Conan Power Leveling and 798 art galleries in exhibitions, workshops. The day of the exhibition, Guo Haiping subjected to all kinds of doubts: He said that the show, known for paranoid speculation; try hard to find fault call him, make fun of the mentally ill get; criticism of his art is too shallow to understand, a group of crazy for the graffiti art exhibition was also open to ... ... Guo Sea level has always been calm, with a smile. In the face of an Fengmangbilou young reporter's question, he said: "I will lead the mentally ill Museum of Art.

I just Can we care about out of prejudice, to re-examine the spirit of the group of patients - and sometimes they really worth looking up, rather than discrimination. " Guo Haiping left, the arts room has been open, patients who go there are still love to paint, play, spend their time. Ziwoxinshang from time to time they pick up the paintings, to satisfy his sweet smile - the studio behind the respect and understanding, as fragrant spring flowers, gently fit their wounds. Over the lunatic asylum - sometimes just a brush, a non-discriminatory in the eyes of love.
