The officer continued, "Mr. Zhang, this video contains Elvin's last words. Take a look first."
Zhang Yuan took over the video recorder and pressed the button.
"... I never found myself so weak. Sorry, this is my last words. I have decided to end my life here. " Elvin said in a hoarse voice in front of the video recorder.
His eyes were very dim, and the flame of life seemed to have disappeared on his face.
"... on earth, I am a world-famous great painter. Dignitaries enjoy collecting my paintings. In their eyes, I am a real great artist. Both officials and rich people are respectful to me and give me sufficient respect. "
"This may have something to do with my father, who is also a great artist. Who knows whether they like me or my father? "
"It's easy for me to get anything, whether it's wealth, power or the beautiful opposite sex. I once served as mayor in a small city in Lanzhou and tasted the taste of power; I once set a record of * * * women in one night. It was a satisfied and empty night... "
"I've enjoyed a million yuan meal... I've lived in a 3000 square meter mansion."
"I have climbed Mount Everest and visited the Mariana Trench... Every performance art will increase my value."
In the video, Elvin recalls the glorious past and shows a satisfied smile.
"You know what? In fact, this kind of life is very boring. After being happy, sometimes you will feel dissatisfied and want to pursue higher-level happiness. Alas, mankind itself is such a creature that never knows satisfaction. "
"All kinds of desires are like a black hole full of magic. After falling into the black hole, sometimes I want to struggle out, but I don't want to come out when I see everyone struggling to jump into the black hole. But apart from taking drugs, there seems to be no higher happiness... Who knows... I always feel that living is meaningless. "
"Suddenly one day, I had a whim and had a whim to leave the earth. I'm going to the other planet to find my art! "
"I signed up with great interest, donated money, and countless compliments came as promised!"
"At that moment, it was really great! Great! "
At this point, Elvin's eyes widened and showed a ferocious expression: "but this may be the biggest mistake I've made in my life."
His hands spread out: "everything has disappeared."
"I fell from the high Yunding heavenly palace and became a mortal. I can't do what I want anymore. I still can't accept this change. "
"But I know that it is the only chance for me to achieve greatness in my life..."
"If I stay on earth, I will indulge in the final degeneration. Black holes are called black holes because once they jump in, there is no way to get rid of them. "
"But at the moment, staying on the earth time, I feel endless regret, pain and trouble... I want women, food and luxury cars!"
"Do you know this contradiction?!"
Elvin paused, pointed to a picture behind him and said enthusiastically, "I did it!"
"This is the real art!!"
After a while, his excited look calmed down: "my death is a personal will, and has nothing to do with anyone. Let me stay here. I don't need to witness the new parent star. Whether the parent star is good or bad, let it stay in my imagination. "
"... if you can, please spread my ashes on the land of Europa. Thank you."
"Return the painting to the earth, auction it, and donate all the auction amount to the deep space foundation."
"It is the best and most outstanding work of my life!"
"And the second picture, for my friend, Mr. Zhang Yuan. I don't know science. I just hope you can become the most dazzling star in the night sky. "
The first oil painting shows a fiery red sky and a turquoise grass. A lonely figure is looking up at the stars.
Countless stars, including the sun directly above, are shining in the air.
The paintings that look ordinary make people feel very upset, regretful and powerless, just like the depression and contradiction before Elvin committed suicide.
Because of the infinite light in the sky, there is still no way to illuminate a large area of darkness, including the dark figure.
That feeling of helplessness goes directly to people's hearts, as if it can tear the heart alive.
This feeling is very subtle. Even Zhang Yuan, who doesn't understand art at all, can feel the soul provoking in painting.
It was a kind of despair, struggle and unwillingness to reality.
An angry, irrepressible cry of desire.
The new parent star is not the real parent star, but no matter what, it is impossible to go back to the past.
Once you make a choice, you can't go back.
This is not only his personal mood, but also represents the whole earth time.
Zhang Yuan sighed.
Yes, I can't go back.
From today on, human civilization may have an artist comparable to Van Gogh.
Elvin is a coward, but he is not a coward.
The last song in life is both sigh and admiration.
The next second painting is pure black, and the only bright spot appears in the upper left corner.
What is different is that this light is gathered by countless small bright spots. The inspiration for this painting comes from a dialogue with Elvin at that time.
Zhang Yuan finally knows why Elvin gave it to himself.
He stood in silence for a few minutes.
"For the time being, this matter can only be declared as an accident, otherwise it will cause more instability..." Captain Ma whispered: "those who should stay stay, those who should leave, and then make it public after everyone has made up their mind to hibernate."
"As for this painting, according to Elvin's will, it will be given to you. I hope you can cherish it."
"It may be the first work of art of the new civilization."
Zhang Yuan returned to the dormitory and slowly moved the painting to his residence.
I've been staring at it for a long time.
Elvin died like this. He talked to himself a few days ago.
I'm still a little out of breath.
He suddenly found a line of small characters on the back of the painting.
"Starry night, 2265.9.11, Elvin."
Zhang Yuan raised his head and turned off the light.
There was no light in the room. The white light in the painting seemed to light up in my heart.
The mood suddenly broke out at this moment. Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes, not crying, but a farewell to his friends.
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
