Merry Christmas!

I would really like to thank you for your good directions, help and support in the past year and I do wish you and your family members, friends and the people in your life will be happier, luckier and more successful in the upcoming new year.

On my side, I had come back to Beijing from the course of painting from nature in the Southern Taihang Mountains of Henan Province and would like to share some good news with you:

First of all, my health has passed some severe tests of the cold weather and the hard life in the remote mountains which there is no any hot water in the washrooms in the hotels and our brushes, ink and water were frozen often when we painted out of the door.

Instead of having any sickness or feeling anything wrong physically, I felt very well, but in May, 2011 and June, 2017, after I came back from the courses of painting from the Tai Mountains of Shandong Province and Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, I couldn't walk for about 43 days and 13 days...

So, now, I can say with a big smile that I have created a wonder as I had dreamed since 2009 when the doctors told me the diagnostic results – I had had a sickness on immune system which cannot be able to cure according to the current medical conditions in the world, which had affected all of my bones, and brought the sicknesses in another 2 systems of mine... However, after fighting against the sicknesses with a firm hope that I would be fine for more than 8 years, I am sure, I have basically overcome all of them, especially I have overcome the key disease of my immune system.

I have won already!

With so much gratitude, I would really like to thank the God and all of the people who have helped me in the past 8 years: My doctors, former bosses, professors, colleagues, friends and my family members.

I would really like to thank you for your good accompanying in the past one year or since the first day I started my regular letter to you on August 1, 2005.

With a grateful heart, I would really like to do my best to study and to help more people and this world with what I have learned and to repay the benefaction which the God and the world have given me...

The second, the lecture of my Supervisor – Professor Mu Jiashan was so welcome in a local collage on Dec 13, 2017, his works and a part of his students' paintings from the nature, include mine would be published in their academic journal in Jan, 2018.

Below is a part of my paintings from the nature in Henan Province (the first 4 ones) and the assignments (the last 4 ones) I did after coming back to Beijing, and I do hope to bring you a big smile and hear your good commons and directions.

Because some of them would be published, so, I would not put them on my web site until they have been published.

How about you? Do you have anything special to share?
