Chinese Xieyi--049(Flower & Bird): Peonies Practice
I had my art lesson with the sleepy eyes as soon as I came back Shenzhen and my flowers also in a sleepy. :- ) Maybe you will also ask why Shirley does not rest much more? Last Oct., I had a travel in Yunan and Guangxi to visit the local people in the mountains areas. First time I knew there are still so many Chinese children living and studying in a very poor situation. The fee for me to learn art 3 times is enough for them to stay in the elementary school for one year. This Oct., I also knew one of my best friends鈥� son who had been enrolled by Harvard University, but he gave up the opportunity and went to the other university for the same problem. I was weeping when I saw and heard these and I gave whole of money in my pockets and I do feel that I should cherish life, friends, opportunities and what I have had much more, to do my best to learn and to do something that I really love and be benefit to the others and the world as much as possible...

China (Shan Xi) Folk Song: Xiu He Bao-- Embroider Pouch
If you came to Shanxi, Yunnan and Sichuan in China, you would hear a local folk song Xiu He Bao ? Embroider Pouch. Pouches are something that young boys tie on their waists for taking some little things or money. There is a customs that local girls embroider pouches for their boyfriends, lovers or someone who are in their hearts to express love as keepsakes. So, if you receive a pouch from a young girl who are from the places, you have to be careful.:-)
I learned the song in my vocal music lesson last night. However, I found that my piano was in a wrong tone in the morning and I re-recorded it with an accompanying CD. Anyway, I could not find the feeling and my breath could not enter my head cavity. Just sing it for you to do a Chinese listening training. Ok?

Chinese Classical Poem--0012: Chi Le Ge -- A Song Of Chi Le
I love the poem Che Le Ge-- Song of Che Le for it describes a vast and peaceful landscape and also for it had saved an army when it was almost defeated totally. I wanted to write a piece of music to match it for a long time and I had tried for over 10 times. However, until I was on the airplane, when I faced the vast cloud sea out of the window, I just found the feeling and wrote out the first 2 sentences. Then, I got the inspiration when I was in my parents and brother鈥檚 home from a piano music by my niece. I completed it with her piano with stepping on the silencer in the midnight on Oct 4. Do you enjoy it? What is your feeling about it?

Chinese in Current Affairs --002: How to Say" The Festival Of China in The U.S." in Chinese
When I was in the airplane from Shenzhen to Wuxi, I read a newspaper and knew that The Festival of China, an unprecedented culture event cosponsored by the United States and China started on Oct 1 and it will keep for one month. So, I decided to make this topic as this week鈥檚 topic for Daily Chinese this week. However, after I finished the work, I have not very clear whether it is suitable for you to learn Chinese with this way. Could you please give me your opinions about it?
