Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Are you enjoying your weekend? I do hope you are. :-)
Now I am writing to you in my room in a little Business Hotel by my classroom of Graduate School Chinese Painting School in Chinese National Academy of Arts in Beijing.
Instead of staying in Shenzhen to complete my music record jobs as I original plan, I changed my idea at the last minute to refund my airline ticket:
-- I got the formal notice that the Executive Vice-Dean of our school will check and comment every student's winter vacation assignment and he will direct us in person. I did not want to miss the golden opportunity to get his direction face to face.
Also, most of the important lessons will be arranged in the first weeks, before we start our graduate creation, I suddenly found that I was foolish to stay in Shenzhen to work on my music at this time. If I did that, I would miss the lessons on painting,and then, after the music work, I would catch up painting lessons. Since I must work on both of the painting and music learning and work, why don’t I change the time arrangement and to work on the painting at the first?
Since the president and his assistants in the publishing house also wished me to think of more on the series books’ edition and creation, why don’t I use the time in Beijing to study and to think of their ideas more and to do more preparation not only on one book, but also on the overall plan… ?
Then I found when I finally decided to go back to Beijing in time, suddenly I felt that I was in a so easy and even a little bit happy heart, the pressure that from the music practice, the English translation, the poem comments suddenly disappeared...
Even, my sharp headache also went a lot... :-)
So that I could not help asking myself, since there is no any family member and anyone special in Beijing with me, what makes me feel so easy and so happy?
-- The opportunity to learn arts, the more opportunities to make my art dream to be true. :-)
So, when Director/Dr. Liu Yu who has been my doctor since 2010 "criticized" me why I did not come to see her and to make some necessary health checking earlier since I had some obvious bad symptom once more the day before yesterday, when Dr./Executive Vice-President Zhang Qiujuan told me that some healthy index of mine was worse than the situation before my last operation last August yesterday, I gave her all of the other checking results since 2009 and entrusted her to wait for and to collect the results of my new health checking, she will send the medicine that I must use in Beijing and she will direct me to take it via cell phone.
To be honest, as long as I can stand up. I will never stay on the bed as a patient. :-)
So, after taking painkillers 3 times more than the usual dose, I had a good sleep for over 15 hours, and then I started my new travel.
After flying for 3 hours, my airplane landed at the Capital Airport at 8:45pm. It was the first time, I did not ask any friend or any taxi driver to pick up me at the airport, and then I found it in fact quite easy for me to catch a taxi and the price was cheaper 50% than I asked a taxi driver before my airplane took off. :-)
Since there are some problems on my legs and low back, as soon as I went down the airplane, I found a little baggage cart and I pushed my small suitcase to go to the claim area, then I found when I pushed the little baggage cart to go on the moving sidewalk, and then quickly, I entered the first group of the passengers from the last group of the passengers...
I could not help smiling to myself because I realized that the knowledge is everywhere, no matter what we are doing, as long as we try to use our brain before doing it or we are in the process to do this thing, we can certainly find some way to raise our working efficiency.
I am lucky enough that the manager and the clerks in the business hotel where I have been living since last Oct have received my books that I sent back from Shenzhen; and they have opened the windows and changed the air for my room. Therefore as soon as I entered the gate, they came out to help me to carry my luggage and sent me some new bed sheets and so on...
Now, when I am working in my little room in the golden and the soft light in the quiet night with a peaceful heart in Beijing in the cold winter, I do feel that my heart is full of warmth and be in happiness.
I will certainly do my best to learn and to create, to do something meaningful and helpful for my dear motherland, people and this beautiful world...
How about you? Do you agree with my idea that knowledge is everywhere? Do you have anything special to share?
