How are you? I do hope that you are doing well and enjoy your weekend.

On my side, some good news is that our company's financial TV programs will start to work in Mas-TV since Feb 1, 2010. That means that our TV will go out of the mainland of China and cover the areas of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

We will praise the most excellent departments and employees with a higher reward for their good work in 2009 and we will also increase the welfare of all employees since 2010.

Before the company signs the yearly contracts with all of the department managers, I completed my 3rd paper in 2010. Aiming at the situation that our employee turnover ratio is higher than our plan, I have mentioned out some ideas to improve our incentive style, to stimulate and attract the best employees to stay in the company.

I have also gone to hospitals to check my eyes and blood sedimentation (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) -- it was too high and reached 81 and 103 on Dec 8 and Dec 21 ( The normal rate should be 0 - 20).

I am glad that my blood sedimentation rate has decreased to be 35 and an eye specialist told me that my eyes themselves have no problem, the problem of my eyes cannot see clear may be from the other reasons. So, she has helped me to make a checking of nuclear magnetic resonance on my head.

I will see some doctors with these test results soon.

I do not think there is big problem on my health since I feel good except I cannot see things clear while I have to dress much more than my colleagues -- they are now in the shirts, I am still dressing in a lot of clothes. :-)

In the process to see doctors in the hospitals, a strong feeling is: I am so lucky to live in the world, to get so much help from so many people.

Dec 7, 2009, I called one of my best friends who is a medical expert and the Executive Vice President of a Women and Children Hospital on the road to the Wuxi Airport -- before I flew back Shenzhen. She arranged everything ok for me and she accompanied me to see a doctor then to live into a hospital, to have the two operations later.

This week, also it was her to connect the eye specialist before I went to the hospital.

One of my formal colleagues -- Ms. Li Zongli, she is a vice professor in Hunan right now. As soon as she knew that I was sick. She called her best friend Ms. Gong Min, who is a nurse manager in a hospital in Shenzhen. According to Li's "Order", Ms. Gong called me and it was her to arrange me to see a spine expert when my blood sedimentation seemed like terrible days ago. This Wednesday, after I went out of the Ophthalmologic Department of Beijing University Shenzhen Hospital, I went to her to do the blood collection. I drove on a wrong road, so that when I reached her hospital, it was 12:30am already. She was still waiting for me and made the blood collection at once in her rest time.

I do not know why, this week I have met so many things and every thing touched me so much. Wednesday morning, when I was in the hospital to see the eye specialist, I did not realize that my car was not locked for about 3 hours for the safe belt was out of the car and my medical insurance card was forgotten in the registry until I had to pay and left from the hospital. Can you imagine? I found back my card and my car was still there.

Then I crashed my car on a cement fence for my reversing radar did not work well Friday noon, two clerks of the insurance company came to me after I made a telephone call for about 15 minutes. The lock of my mail box did not work at about 10:30am Saturday. A worker from the Property Management Office came to see it after I reported the thing for about 10 minutes and he changed it at once. My formal colleague Mr. Charlie Zhang and his wife sent my birds back (they raised them for me since I went to look after my mother in Wuxi ) on Sunday. The yellow bird has changed to a mother and she was sitting on her eggs to look after her future babies. :- )

All of these “little things” have really made me feel warm indeed.

I have also met someone evil this week ? they made telephone calls to people in our company and me via pretending the officials from the court and police station, to steal our personal information, then to embezzle money via some evil styles. Except reporting to the true police station and the media, we reminded the employees be careful immediately. At almost the same time they started their stealing, we were informed by the bank and some of our bank accounts has been frozen.

I do feel that even though there are some evil and bad people in some black places in the world. Most of the world is still full of the sunshine, friendship and kindness. As a manager, artist and individual, I do think that I should to do my best to help the world get better via working hard in the company, while to create something most beautiful in my art fields.

When more and more places is full the sunshine, the evil will no have any place to stay.

Do you think so? Have you met something beautiful and evil in your world?

I am sorry for my eyes cannot see things clear especially in the night. So, I can not send a letter to you in time and I have not written any note for the works below for a while. Please excuse me.
I am just a learner on art of painting, music and English, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do a few things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be an Electronic Bridge of Culture Exchange, Chinese Language Learning & Friendship making. To help the others while to improve myself.

I would like to appreciate your understanding, directions, supports and hope to get your friendly direction and help.
