, even though I had no time to go, while I do not think that I should go at this time, since I do not think that my basic skill is good enough yet, I need to focus myself on the basic training when I am at school. Anyway, that meant that I have started to have some new opportunities to enter the circle of artists in Beijing and it will also bring some income for me. <br><br>-- City of Pikeville in USA has sent another lady to write to me... <br><br>The bad news: <br><br>-- My long scroll (1,000cm x 180cm - 393.70 inches x 70.86 inches), the first Vocal, Bilingual Poetry & Painting Series was fail to be chosen in an activity that I took part in last Nov. With a peaceful heart, I have accepted this result since that is a fine art event and my job has gone beyond it too much, especially, I had written English on my Chinese paintings, it is really a blasphemy thing in the traditional Chinese painting field. :-)<br><br>Compare with the bad thing and the good things, my heart is full of the serenity, hope and confidence. Because I know what I am doing not matter on practice and theory. I am sure, I will be gotten much more understanding, help and support along with the time and my hard work. <br><br>Also, I have thought clearly, the most suitable places for me to develop my project should be Beijing and abroad.<br><br>So, I have rent a new apartment for my study in Beijing next class year already. There is a story about this: <br><br>I had seen an advertisement on the window of a little Clinique that I pass through 6 times each day, but I did not think of asking it, until a day, my heart was touched by an elder lady who was wiping the windowsills out of the house, so that I guessed this family should be quite clean? This was just somewhere I was looking for. So, I made a phone call on the road and I went to see the apartment in the evening. <br><br>It seemed like both of our two sides wished to be the tenant and the landlord. They would like to keep the apartment for me for about 20 days free since I had paid my current apartment until the end of July; I would like to pay them for August and the first half of Sept even though I will not be in Beijing for my summer vacation. It is just 5 minutes by walk to my classroom, quiet, clean and in a good environment. To live there, I will feel that I am in Beijing. :-)<br><br>When I write here, I cannot help smiling. Maybe the elder lady has not known that just a detail that she had done, has brought a new tenant for her house. Maybe to pay attention to the detail of a product and a detail service is just the key to attract and to reserve customers of a company or an organization?<br><br>What is your idea about detail? Do you have anything special to share? <br><br><br><br>I am just a student on Arts of Painting, Music, English and Management, to work on the web site in my free time. I would really like to do somethings with what I have learned to make this little web site to be<a href=http://www.ebridge.cn/new/index.php target=blank><b><font color=brown> an Electronic Bridge of Cross - Culture and Comprehensive Arts Exchange, Chinese Culture and Language Learning & Friendship Making.</b></font></a> To help the others while to improve myself. <br><br>I would like to appreciate you for your understanding, directions, supports and help. <br><br>If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you are welcome to write to <a href=mailto:shirley@ebridge.cn target=_blank><b><font color= brown> shirley@ebridge.cn </font></b></a>or leave your message on<a href= http://www.ebridge.cn/new/bbs/bbs.php?tlid=0 target =_blank><font color=brown> <b> Message Board</b></font></a>. <br><br><a href=http://www.ebridge.cn/new/about.php target=_blank><font color=brown><b>Shirley Yiping Zhang</b></font></a><br><i>July 15, 2013(American Time)<br></i>
