This should be my best experience in my 84 Chinese Painting and Chinese Poetry classes or demonstrations in America since 2009.
Do you know why? After I completed my demonstration and asked the students to paint. A girl raised her hand and asked me whether they could sing. I asked her: what do you want to sing? She said, I wanted to sing the poem I told them in my poetry lesson. I said Yes. Then I gave them a tone.
Then, can you imagine? All of the students sang while they paint their birds and flowers. :-) At their singing, they completes their first Chinese Xieyi Painting and their second Chinese Paintings. :-)
At that time when I heard their singing, I did feel happiness in my heart.
