How are you? I do hope that you are doing well and enjoy your weekend.
Except caring for the earthquake in Haidi as all of the people in the world, this week, I have completed my second work paper for the company in 2010. Aiming at the situation that Google would like to retreat from China; Chinese government will combine the networks of the broadcast and TV, telecommunication and Internet together before 2015, I have mentioned out my ideas to face the challenges and to catch the opportunities.
Besides, there is some the other news for you:
-- My city - Shenzhen was chosen by The New York Times as one of
the top 31 destinations in 2010.
-- I have not taken any painkiller for about 4 weeks. Instead of aching on my legs when I go downstairs, right now, I can run upstairs from the first floor to the 6th floor even though I still need a rest on the 3th or 4th floor. :-)
-- Even though my eyes can not see clear often now, with a peaceful heart, I have recovered my normal life style ? get up at 4:30am or 5:30am, read book, create pictures or write music before going to my office; work on my learning of painting, music and English until midnight, enjoy the quiet and the beautiful in the soul world…
After seeing how my mother passed, I myself had 2 operations within 3 days, experienced the psychology test of the possibility of cancers alone, you cannot imagine how I am satisfying and cherishing my current life.
With an easy and peaceful heart, I spent my nights and a weekend with “Bamboo and Orchid” -- I created 17 little bamboo / orchid paintings, as my painting practice while as my own education -- I wanted to create a picture to match a Chinese classical poem -- Bamboo and the music that I had created for it in 2006 and 2007. I corrected my translation and the comments, re-recorded the poem and the characters’ pronunciation and tone in Chinese, re-played the music and sang it in English and Chinese…
At this time, money, position and anything relates to matter is not important to me already. What I want to do is to create something unique and beautiful, to help more people who would like to know Chinese culture and to learn Chinese language while to improve my own painting, music and language level…
I do hope that you will enjoy my works and let me know your comments.
Do you like any true Bamboo and Orchid? Do you enjoy the Bamboo and Orchid in my paintings, music, singing and writing?
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.
