Artist Meng Gengru’s younger brother passed away 4 years ago at the age of 23, which caused great grief to the family. After her brother left, she left an unrepaired car, which was placed in her studio following being repaired. It has not been used for many years, so she decided to transfer the car to a more meaningful place.
Meng Gengru mentioned on Facebook that his younger brother had a car waiting for repairs. His father spent a lot of time searching for all kinds of hard-to-find parts, and spent a long time waiting for the goods to arrive. Finally, the car was repaired. Can’t wait for this day. After that, the car was placed in her personal studio, but she didn’t know how to ride a bike, and even if she wanted to start it occasionally, she mightn’t help it, so it was just placed there as an ornament. Until a while ago when she tidied up the studio, following discussing with her family, she felt that it is not necessary to keep the car to be regarded as missing, but she was still unable to release the car, and she was not even willing to treat it as a money transaction.
Therefore, she decided to give the car to a college student who was interested in collecting antiques and appreciating old cars, “I think people who like old things like this must have the heart to guard this car. It will definitely be collected by him.” It will be much more meaningful than the one in my studio warehouse.” I immediately summoned up the courage to contact, and got the following response: “Geng Ru, I remember this car, and I also understand the meaning of this car to you. If you are willing to deliver As for me, what I can promise you is that I will take good care of this car in my life, and I will not sell it, and whenever I want to see this car, I am always welcome.”
She was very moved by these words, and decided to hand over the car to her junior, “My brother will never want his car to run smoothly on the road in the end…” Recalling the day when the car was handed over, she and the car left behind Zhang took a very meaningful group photo, and following the car drove away, she did not shed tears or regret, because she finally understood: “This car only carries the memories and thoughts between our family and my brother, but true love does not need anything things to bear, because it has always been well placed in our hearts.”
