Hi,Dear Friends
How are you? Have you had a good week? Are you enjoying your weekend?
Recently, I often come to my office at about 7:00am for my eyes cannot see clear after about 10:00am. I want to catch the limited time that I can see better since many times, I have to guess my words when I am typing on my computer. And sometimes, I have to take 3 pairs of glasses on my desk to try them one by one and open my eyes as big as possible. However, I do not think it is helpful.
Therefore, I have make a decision finally to have my fourth yearly vacation since 1992 somewhere, to leave from my computer for a while and to perform some promise (The company has been offering me the treatment, I gave up it most of time. I had no time to think of myself for my too tight jobs in the first 10 years after I came to Shenzhen, meanwhile, a terrible misdiagnosis on my health made me want to work as mush as possible for the others and the world in my "limited" life).
I feel guilt for I do not think it is a suitable time to have a vacation since there are too many things in the company I should do and I should be able to do them quite well.
I feel lucky and full of the appreciation in my heart to the world, to so many people who have helped me, supported me and will help me or support me past, now and in the future.
Therefore, I have also made some the other decisions. One of them is that I will sign an agreement with the Red Cross or somewhere else some day, to donate all of the useful organs on my body in case I am dead some day.
Anyway, since I am alive at this time, I would really like to live as well as possible, to create something beautiful as many as possible, to share these wonderful things in my heart and in my art works with people as many as possible, to bring delight and pleasure and happiness to the world as much as possible.
I appreciate you and all of the friends who have written to me. I have read all of them carefully. I wish I could write back to you as usual. But, now, it is a pity that I cannot. However, I do cherish your friendship and you as my friend, I will keep all of your letters and return you as soon as my eyes get better.
As compensation, I have created some new painting this week. Also, I would like to show you an "old" painting and a piece of "old" music that I created for a Chinese classical poem in 2007 via the links below. I really hope to bring you some help and a big smile.
I will go to see an eye specialist once more. I will be ok in the near future. Do not worry about me.
Take care and thanks, have a good day.
