Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? I do hope that you are well, have an easy and relaxed weekend.
The Chinese May Day holiday makes this week has 3 business days only. The China鈥檚 Company Law asks listed companies to explore their yearly reports before May 1. So, our workload (as a company that is appointed by the government to publish the special information at the first time) was increased several times. Several departments worked until 1:00am or 2:00am.
Instead of working on the first line as I did, I am working on something else to improve our work efficiency. So, this week seems like a contract week for me. Except 24 business contracts have been drafted, I touched someone to make sure that our cooperated book would be printed abroad in May. I have also taken part in a job to push a new project forward.
I was suffering from a severe headache during I was working on the last job. However, I knew that our work schedule could not be changed because of my personal reason. So, with the helping of medication, I kept doing my best to smile to the guests and I kept discussing, correcting and helping the company to sign a new and important contract with them. According to the contract, a group of domestic and overseas work partners are working with us on the new project during the holiday and they will come into our company to start a new cooperation with us soon.
In my 4 day's May Day holiday, I involved myself into the English lesson of Beijing Foreign Studies University online for 2 and half day. Then I worked on my painting and music as usual. My heart was not very calm for I have faced a new choice, but, I knew what is my favorite with my own nature. So, I ordered myself to sit down to paint and I have quickly found back my peaceful heart along with the work soon. I am happy that my headache has gone as soon as I came into to my art world. I feel lucky that I have found art of painting, music and language as my enjoyment and the best medication of the health care.
How about your health, life and work? Is there anything special this week?

Shirley Created Art-- Gouache --0126: Sunrise 寮犱竴骞冲垱浣滅殑姘寸矇鐢�0126:鏃ュ嚭
I had a strong creating impulsion as soon as I saw a little photo of sunrise. I wanted to paint it and I started it Saturday night. Anyway, after I painted for a long time, I could not find the feeling at all. So, I put down my brushes and went to sleep with many "Whys". I did not think that Sunday morning, when I continued to work on it, I suddenly realized that I had been led by the rich colors too much so that I had lost myself. So, I might re-think and catch the nature in the painting. I had to give my own painting something fresh from my own heart, to express my much love to the great nature, to give the sunshine, clouds and mountains some lives via my own ways. It was so surprising, that along with my new feeling, every thing has changed easier to deal with, so that I could not help using some ways of Chinese Painting on my new Gouache painting. When the last brush was completed, my heart has changed comfortable and peaceful totally. Painting has really a great charm to bring me so much enjoyment. Painting will certainly accompany me to go over whole of my rest life. How do you think of this painting? Do you enjoy it?

Bilingual Song--0029: Shirley Sings the Chinese (Jiangxi) Folk Song --0069: "Ying Shan Hong -- Azalea", in English & Chinese
I learned this song from my first vocal music teacher first time in February, 2007. Sunday night, when I re-sang it in Chinese and when I re-translated it and sang it in English, I did feel joy and luck. I was thinking that my first vocal music teacher Ms. Ma, who has gone to Beijing, had led me into the gate of music palace with her work for 4 years; my second vocal music teacher Ms. Huang, who comes from Shanghai Music College, is leading me to go up a new step. Ms Ma had led me to see what there is in the vocal music world; Ms. Huang is teaching me to know why they are beauty and how I should express a beautiful feeling via a beautiful voice. Ms Ma was just like a kind sister to lead me to see how many fishes in the sea; Ms. Huang is more like an excellent fisher to show me some way to fish fishes. Just getting her directions 27 times, I have learned so much and I have started to sing, to record independently. For the working in the company, I could not go her this week. So, I re-learned, re-sang and re-recorded this song Sunday night. I do hope that my effort will be of some help to you to learn Chinese culture and improve your Chinese listening level. I do hope that you will find that I have made a little bit progress.
