Wei Xiang Is Famous For "Wick" In The Danube River.

Budapest, Hungary, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Danube quietly flows through here. The waltz of the blue The Danube created by John Strauss in eighteenth Century is famous for the river flowing through ten countries.

But it is such a The Danube, which is praised by the poets and let the musicians be in a mood, but in the eyes of painter Wei Xiang, it almost became his best destination.

Fifteen years ago, on a midsummer night, watching the The Danube of all kinds, Wei Xiang, a painter studying in Hungary, wrote a letter to Huang Chenfeng, his wife studying in England. "I am in such a bad mood these days that when I watched The Danube pass by quietly, I didn't know whether to jump or not."

There is a famous song called "melancholy Sunday" in Budapest. Wei Xiang, a Chinese painter, stroll along the Danube late at night.

Looking at the ancient architecture which is floating on the sparkling The Danube just like the fairy mountain and the Joan Pavilion, humming this melancholy song, unexpectedly sprang up the idea of jumping to the river to commit suicide. What exactly made Wei Xiang so upset?

Wei Xiang graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Fujian Normal University in 1989. He was an art teacher at a vocational and technical school in Sanming, Fujian.

Oil painting originated in Europe from the end of eighteenth Century to the beginning of nineteenth Century, and the beauty and harmony of European oil painting was well known in the world.

Wei Xiang, who likes oil painting, dream that one day he can also climb the art palace of oil painting, so in early 1991 he quit his job to come to Europe, Hungary became his first foothold.

The blue The Danube flows through Hungary and divides the capital Budapest into two.

The West Bank is bu Da, and the east coast is Perth. Most of the buildings in the streets are in the middle ages.

The famous fisherman castle, the majiash cathedral and the Royal Palace are located on the mountain of the BDA castle. Budapest looks like a magnificent oil painting attracting Wei Xiang. In the Museum of the famous poet Petfi and the great musician Lester, Wei Xiang looks for their footprints.

Hungary is located in Central Europe and is a landlocked country with a population of only about ten million.

In Budapest, a city with only about two million people, there are nearly 200 museums and galleries, 40 theaters and opera houses, and 7 concert halls. Every season, the city hosts colorful programs.

Here, Wei Xiang was fascinated by a group of artists with common language, but at the same time, he did not think that embarrassment was getting closer and closer to him.

At that time Wei Xiang's mind was full of longing for art. Every day, besides painting, he was dreaming of becoming a painter like Picasso and van Gao.

But the reality is ruthlessly destroyed his dream. After Hungarian Hungary was mixed up for more than a year, Wei Xiang borrowed ten thousand Yuan Hong Kong dollars from his brother.

After many deliberation, Wei Xiang decided to change his oil painting for life.

So he pulled out the only $more than 100 he had.

In a bar in Hungary, a complete Chinese style art exhibition was held, hoping to sell several paintings and continue to live.

Like many European countries, Hungarians also love art very much. At weekends, people will enjoy music or painting exhibitions.

The Hungarians also had great enthusiasm for Wei Xiang's painting exhibition. Although there were many visitors, there were not many people who bought pictures. Only one Hungarian old man with his mentally retarded son bought one of his paintings for $three hundred on the spot.

But the three hundred dollars completely destroyed Wei Xiang's longing for art.

He did not expect his painstaking painting to be so worthless. In his view, his oil painting should not be such a result.

Self conceited, he can not accept this reality and shame. He wants to jump into The Danube and die.

Wei Xiang chose to abandon his diligent dream of the artist, abandon his pen and go into business, and set up his own brand of sports shoes. Wei Xiang, despite being a businessman, was still an artist.

He named his sneakers "wick", hoping that one day his shoes would shine and be different.

In Hungary, newspapers and magazines need not be approved. They only need to register with the Ministry of culture and education.

So advertising competition is fierce.

In 1994, Wei Xiang made an advertisement for "wick" in newspapers and magazines in Hungary.

One day, his company came to a Hungarian.

Hungarian named Wei Xiang PINTER ISTVAN is the head coach of the Hungarian national special field hockey team.

Due to economic reasons, Hungary is unable to support the Special Olympics hockey team, and this team is facing a situation of self destruction.

The reason why PINTER ISTVAN came to Wei Xiang is that the team will soon join the sixth World Winter Special Olympics Games in Ontario, Canada.

PINTER ISTVAN drove more than 200 kilometers to find Wei Xiang La sponsorship, just for sixteen pairs of shoes, which is a piece of cake for Wei Xiang.

But these sixteen pairs of shoes have brought Wei Xiang into a way to make the wick shine.

At the sixth World Winter Special Olympics Games held in Canada, the Hungarian special field hockey team led by PINTER ISTVAN won the championship. This result was not thought by Wei Xiang, and PINTER ISTVAN also named the hockey team as the wick hockey team in order to thank Wei Xiang for sponsorship, and Wei Xiang has not stopped sponsoring the Special Olympics Sports since then.

Every year Hungarian special field hockey matches are held, and each team leader named PINTER ISTVAN will call him "wick Cup".

Therefore, Wei Xiang's enthusiastic sponsorship of the Olympic cause is widely known in Hungary.

Hungarian Special Olympics chairman Wei Xiang found that the Special Olympics torch will come to Hungary. This country won't be easy to fight for the Special Olympics torch. The first stop of the torch relay is wick company, the first torch relay by Wei Xiang.

The second who took the torch was the premier.

The torch relay of a country will put the first stop in Chinese business, which is not a precedent in any country.

This is the return of the Special Olympics Committee of Hungary to Wei Xiang's more than 10 years' free help for the Special Olympics cause.

After the Special Olympics torch relay, Wei Xiang's wick company became famous in Hungary.

The "wick" sneakers are also popular, with a pair of "wick" sneakers for every 6 people in Hungary's about ten million population.

"Wick" has become a famous Hungarian brand created by the Chinese people in the Chinese production and Hungary market, and has become a well-known brand name for sports shoes in many European countries.

For the sake of art, Wei Xiang's shoes went to the Danube, but later he created another pair of shoes on the banks of the Danube.

Who can say that Wei Xiang is not a successful man no longer picks up the brush?
