Hi,Dear Friends
How are you? Have you had a good week? Are you enjoying your weekend?
I have got my YAMAHA keyboard. However, when I had my music lesson, I more enjoy my traditional piano still. :-) Also, I have had my Midi lesson for 6 hours and learned something how to create music with a software at my computer. It is so supernatural that to see what I played on the keyboard to be changed some numbered musical notation or stuff. :-)
I started to learn to translate some literature works by Mr.Bruce Holland Rogers. That is a very challenge work. but I am excited to start it and I am confident to learn to do something best for I have the great help and support from a best author and some very good friends. :-)
Another fun thing is that the post station sent 200 piece of special paper for Chinese Gongbi and Chinese Xieyi painting. My art teacher ordered for me from Sichuan province. One piece is 2.38 meters long and 1 meter wide. That means it will be longer 76 meters if you put it around a football ground. My teacher asked me to us all of them and to be a professional artist in 5 years. :-) Oh, 5 years. That really often makes me wish to retire today and to paint full time for another 2.5 years, then to be a professional artist. :- )
So, I am going to order my thoughts and focus my limited free time on painting, literature translation and melodizing for the Chinese clssical poems... :-) Web site will be my "stage" to show what I have done for you...:-)

Chinese Xieyi--055(Flower & Bird): A Little Sketch Of Water Lily
After coloring the Chinese Gongbi picture Let Us Go Flying
for over 50 hours last two weeks, I felt sickness as soon as I saw the thin lines on a chrysanthemum. So, my teacher asked me to stop paint chrysanthemums with Chinese Gong Bi style and to complete a water lily with Chinese Xie Yi style within 15 minutes during my art lesson on Wednesday evening. It is not easy, but I enjoy the way to relax and to have a rest... :-)

Chinese Art Song--006: Hong Mei Zan -- Praising Red Plum Blossom (From Chinese Opera -- Ms. Jiang)
The two songs ? Hong Mei Zan --Praising Red Plum Blossom and Listen to Mother to tell the Story In the Past Time are the last two songs that I learned before the Culture Revolution started. I still remember how my music teacher taught me to sing a solo for celebrating the International Child Festival when I was 7 or 8 years old. She told me to prepare Hong Wei Zan as the second song, in case people cheered for my first song, I should come back to sing it and it was true, I came back once or twice. So, right now, when I am writing this note for you, tears are flowing on my face. I am lucky that I have re-learned to sing after stopping so many years. I do hope myself to keep a pure and clean child heart forever. I do hope my kind music teacher healthy and happy.

Chinese Classical Poem--0019: Deng Guanque Lou -- Step Up The Guanque Tower
Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618- A.D.907) is one of the greatest times in China's history, poets created the greatest poems and there were many different poetry genres as well. Hope the Jue Ju by Wang Zhihua Deng Guan Que Lou -- Step On The Guan Yue Tower will give you some feelings about heroism poetry. My new composer teacher surprised that I has created a few pieces of music that have caught the tastes of the Chinese classical poems'. So, we have had the first cooperation. Just hope it has a little bit help to you to remember the words in the poem..
