Creating, Giving & Enjoyment...Shirley's 84th Friendly Greeting-- Sun, April 8, 2007

Hi,Dear Friends

Happy Easter Holiday! I do hope you are well and have a relaxed and easy Easter Weekend.

This week, some good news in the company is that our company has become one of the 47 mainstay software companies of Shenzhen City in 2007 for our created work in the financial and security information fields. Meanwhile, with some advanced equipment, our new news center, new disseminating center and a new multifunctional hall started to work...

As a part of the enterprise culture, we have organized the first beneficence in 2007 to build a Hope Elementary School in a poor county in Inner ? Mongolia in the Northeast of China. According to the principle that is not on the paper -- the more high position in the company, the more donations to give, the donation I have given is listed on No. 4.

Also, I have made our first Yoga training class and the 6th English training class to be started on Wednesday and Friday evening. We have invited some professional teacher and some native English speakers as our teachers and to offer our colleagues some opportunities to improve their own cultures. Next Tuesday, the first chorus will be started as well.

You can not imagine it is not easy to start a new work. In 2005, when the first English training class was started, it was me to give the first money to help it to start. Right now, in 2007, it was also me to pay the first deposit for the electronic piano for the chorus with my own money. The company had approved our yearly budget for the women committee’s working in 2007. But, it does not want to stand the risk before it has seen a good result. Even though I could stop this job, I myself have my own vocal music teacher and my own piano and electronic organ, I don't need to worry anything about myself. Anyway, when I saw the woman colleague, who takes charge of this work in a deeply embarrassed situation, for she had made people enough to register and they are looking to learn something new via the chorus lessons. She had also invited a professional music teacher and she had written a contract with a music instrument company already. All of the things have been done, but she had forgotten to make sure where the money comes from and how much money the company can accept. Instead of saying any words, I went to a bank to take out of some of my own money and let her rent the piano she wants and her start the job. What I wished, is to protect her working passion as a new member of the woman committee, to make her keeping a confidence about her own working ability and also let her know how important it is to make an a forehand communication as much as possible and to get help before starting a new work. Also, I really hope to help those colleague’s dreams to be true.

I am sure, the effort of mine for the company will be understood and to get a good result as the current English training class. I believe that only a studying style corporation can really follow the step of the times…

How do you think of my thoughts? Do you think that a corporation should pay more attention to its enterprise cultures?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0131:Spring Water
In my art lesson, my teacher taught me to attach two pieces of paper together. Then I created the second part of my long picture and prepared the third part. This picture will be longer and longer along within time. I am not allowed to make any pencil draft when I am painting a Chinese Xieyi. So I worked on it carefully, in case I painted a brush badly, the whole of the picture would be destroyed. That night I had a serious headache. Then, after eating 2 pieces of medicine, I kept on completing my lesson. Now, I am delighted, for my headache has gone and I do enjoy my works. My teacher was satisfied with my job and gave me 90 marks. How do you see it? Do you enjoy it?


Shirley Sung Chinese(Taiwan)Popular Song--010: Zhou Zai Xiangjian de Xiaolu Shang-- Walking On A Path in the Country
During my university times, China started her reform and opening policy. A lot of Taiwan college songs went into the Mainland campuses, the first time after the Culture Revolution. I was lucky to have an opportunity to touch them, to feel the same age people’s thoughts and feelings and to learn their cultures... I did feel very fresh to hear these so easy and so relaxed tone and lyrics after hearing the Revolution Language for many years… So, quickly, I remembered many songs and their lyrics in my student times as a culture learning… So last night, just practicing serveral times and recording twice, my vocal music teacher said OK. And I hope you enjoy it.

Chinese Classical Poem --0081 (By Du Mu) & Shirley Created Music-0071: Qing Ming -- Tomb-sweeping Day
Qing Ming Festival -- Tomb Sweeping Day has had a history for 2500 years. It is one of the 24 solar terms in China. After this day, there are raining terms much more. Everything will be refreshing and re-growing up quickly. So, there are many customs to celebrate it in China. The main activity is to pay respect to the ancestors at their tombs, to have a walking, picnic, hike, to enjoy the great nature or fly kites. There are thousands and thousands poems to describe something about Qing Ming. Now, I have introduced one of the most famous for you and I have created a piece of music to match it and hope it will be a little bit help to you to know more about Chinese culture and to improve your Chinese level.

Shirley's Chinese Calligraphy: Running Regular Script -- 007 -- Qing Ming
This is my 7th Running Regular Script of Chinese Calligraphy that I have written to match the Tang Dynasty poem Chinese Classical Poem --0081 (By Du Mu) & Shirley Created Music-0071: Qing Ming -- Tomb-sweeping Day by Du Mu and hope it will be a little bit help to you to understand this poem and know more a bout Chinese culture.
Vocabulary In Chinese--016: New Words About Religions -02-   Christianity ( Catholicism,Protestantism & Orthodox Church )
My 14th vocabulary of religions -- Buddhism and Taoism got some good responding from some friends. I appreciate whole of the help and I would really like to do my best to offer you something best in Chinese. I did not realize that this weekend is just the Easter and my original plan is just to offer you some new words about Christianity. It is really a lovely coincidence. So, today, when I worked on the web site, I did feel happy. Even though it was a hard job to work for at least 15 hours on every Sunday since 2005, because I have got so much from the learning of culture, language, music and painting already. It is really an enjoyment.




I am just a learner on art, music, English, French and the work on the web site in my free time. Anyway, I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to be An Electronic Bridge Of Culture Exchange, Friendship and Language Learning. During the process to help the others and to improve myself.

I do appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your great help continuously now and in the coming time...
