Since 1996, I have studied in 4 Classes Postgraduate Courses by some famous Chinese universities in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. I do found the Postgraduate Courses Class on Chinese Painting Creating by the Graduate School and Chinese Painting School at Chinese National Academy of Arts is the most formal.
Do you know? Every time, no matter the opening ceremony or the closed ceremony, Ms. Gao Xiaoli - General Secretary of Party Committee (the highest leader of a institute or a university in China) & Executive Vice-President (who holds all of the work) of Chinese National Academy of Arts, Director of China Institute of Arts and Crafts would come to us, to give us some encouragement and wishes, and the leaders of the Graduate School and Chinese Painting School will give us some detail directions... set up a good example for us with their serious work attitude and work style.
Therefore, even though the student life was quite hard for me, because I could learn something new every day, so that I could keep studying there, at Chinese National Academy of Arts Sep, 2011 to July, 2014.
Even though I had learned Chinese paintings for 9 years before I went to CNAA, I do think, just in Chinese National Academy of Arts, I started truly to go on a right road...
Now, I thought that Chinese National Academy of Arts is my Alma Mater and my home in Chinese Painting Field...
I would really like to do my best to return the school with my hard work and try to bring honor for it.
