Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well and have an easy and relaxed weekend.
This Saturday, all managers of the company and sales teams from 11 offices came back to the Shenzhen headquarters to attend a new products training.
According to the plan in 2007, we have produced three new information products in digital TV, mobile phone and mini laptop fields. Plus our web sites, opened/closed circuit televisions, telephone and magazine, a multimedia real time financial and securities information system has been found, as we have been dreaming since the new company was found in 2002.
So, except daily work this week, I have spent much time with our technology departments to make the final system testing. To resolve some problems between business and software departments, software and system support departments, database maintenance and data flowing process and the new servers buying. Being busy and in a delight emotion. After all, we are following the steps of the new technology revolution, to create and develop our own information industry chain via combining The Top Technology from the Others and the First Hand Information from Ourselves.
So, no matter how busy we are, we keep encouraging and offering the team some training and learning opportunities. An American software expert has offered us a lesson for whole of the week. All software engineers attended it in their free time..
I am smiling now when I would like to tell you something in my limited free time. This week, I have bought 19 music books in Chinese, English, French and Italian, also a new mini scanner as my English reading helper.
Instead of going to a teacher as I learned French, I missed the lessons often for not having time, so that I wasted much money and gained little French. I would like to learn Italian via learning my vocal music lesson. I see the lyrics by the great musicians and poets as my text. What I sing, what I learn. Not only learn Italian, but also learn English. With this way, I have previewed my second Italian song Caro Mio Ben by G. Giordani(1573 - 1598) and first time, I have known what Luciano Pavarotti was singing.
Ha, so many feelings, about books, language and new technology learning, are jumping into my mind. Even though I have not found time to write them out yet, I have had a title here: A New Book, A New Window; A New Language, A New Gate鈥�
What is your thought about books, language learning and new technology revolution? Do you agree with me?

Shirley Created Combined Art -- 014: Ducks Know Spring Has Come At the First...
As soon as I finished my new painting --A Song of Autumn -- last Sunday, I realized I had made a bad job for felt things on it too messed. One reason is that I did not organize things well with water; the other reason is that I was in a hurry and a little bit confused emotion. Both of them were expressed directly on my painting. I am shy for it for I believe a person鈥檚 culture will decide the person's art achievement. So, this week, I have adjusted my heart and I have created this one with a peaceful heart. Do you think I have made a little big progress?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0153: Pearls
My teacher thought my last created painting A Song of Autumn is too mass. The layers of the views are not clear. There are too many things on the picture and they were not connected together. The flowers are too small. The construction of the picture is bad. Whole of the picture lacks a big verve and so on That is why, I was just given a lowest mark, 55. And I was trained to paint Chinese Xieyi Painting with big brushes and color directly. How do you think of this picture? Do you like it?

Bilingual Song--008: Shirley Sings A Russian Song "A Pathway " in English & Chinese
Along with the open and reform, more and more foreign songs are popular in China. This Saturday, I learned a Russian song in English and in Chinese. I enjoy its tone and the imagination in it. Anyway, it is a pity that I can not read and sing it in Russian. So, if you know the song or you or your friend is a Russian, you are welcomed to tell me whether the meaning is exact in my English singing. I really hope what I am singing in Chinese is a little bit help to you to improve your Chinese listening level.

Chinese Classical Poem 0096 -- 0033(By Su Shi) & Shirley Created Music-0081--04: Ducks Know the Spring Has Come At The First-- Huichong Chun Jian Wan Jing
Su Shi is one of my favorite poets in Song Dynasty(960 ? 1279). He was the best one to continue Li Bai鈥榮 poetry style and created his own way. I enjoy this poem for its famous line The Ducks Know the Spring Has Come at the First. I had created a piece of music to match it in Feb ,2005. This week, I have created a new painting, calligraphy and re-recorded the music. I do hope they will be a little bit help to you to learn Chinese language.
