Hard Work & Wonderful Feeling -- Shirley's 90th Friendly Greeting--Sun, June 3, 2007

Hi,Dear Friends

I am sorry that I just found a serious technology problem on my web site. That is all of the new friends who have written to me since Feb 2, 2007 have not been getting any emails. So, today, as soon as I found this problem, I try to correct it. Now, I am trying to send my mail that I wrote to you on Sunday to you and hope you can find the other letters that I have written to you via the links below.

How are you? Have you had a good week? I do hope that you are well and have a relaxed Weekend.

I am so happy that the first phase of the new project between our company and a foreign company has been completed successfully and the working partners of us had left for their own country Friday afternoon. Finally, I could be able to have a long sleep for about 10 hours Friday night with an easy heart before eating anything.

I got up at Saturday morning about 04.30 am. Then, I had a morning running with a good emotion in the sweet smell and the songs of the birds in the fresh air at about 6:30am. However, I run back home quickly in rain at about 7:15am

It is for about 38 days that I had no time to have any morning running or to write a personal letter for I had to work for about 15 hours every day. The sleeping lack gave me headache, so that I had to eat some medicines to stop my pain before entering the summary meeting Thursday afternoon.

I was so happy that the first phase work had got a good result. The most wonderful thing is that both our general manager and the foreign CEO were satisfied with my work and I was entrusted to write the two lecture notes for both of them in the final summary meeting.

Via the cooperated work, we have also found many of our weaknesses in our work. Also we have seen many advantages on our working partner side. Their advanced technology, wider eyeshot, working hard and many other excellent places are all something worth to learn us.

At the same time, I also have "owed" much "debt" when I was working on the project. So, as soon as I got up at about 4:30 am on Saturday morning, I worked on my own web site, having a morning running, putting my newest painting on the web site, writing to you and doing everything that I had no time to do in the past 38 days.

I will have a short relaxed time with my daily work and then a harder work time will come to me.

I am thinking that if this cooperated project will be continuously, I will work on it for a while. Otherwise, maybe I should think of retiring from my current position earlier than my legal age, to work on something that I really love: Painting, Music, Language Studying, Writing and to start another kind of lives when I am in a very health and energetic time? I am not sure at this time yet. I need some time to think of it much more.

If you were me, what would you do?

Shirley Created Art -- Chinese Xieyi 0139:Autumn
I painted this picture with a serious headache after a too long working time on Thursday. I left from my office at 0:00 Wednesday night, then worked from 8:30am to 5:30pm continuously and I had no any time to eat anything. So, I did not think that I would have strength to have my art lesson. But, when I knew if I removed this lesson, I would have it next Thursday. So, I kept having my art lesson and completed this picture after eating a piece of medicine to stop the pain in my head. My teacher thought that my bamboo leaves lacked change, so, I just got 80 marks. How do you think of this picture? Do you enjoy it?

Shirley Sings a Chinese (Inner-Mongolia) Folk Song--057: Date by Aobao -- Aobao Xiang Hui
After sleeping for 10 hours on Friday night and had a nap for 3 hours on Saturday afternoon, I thought that I have recovered from the extra tiredness because of the new project in the past 38 days in the company already. However, when I was standing by my piano to sing in my vocal music lesson Saturday night, I still felt quite tired so that my teacher asked me to sit down on the chair to sing. Also, she asked me to sing a "Little Song" that I had learned in November, 2005. I do hope that you will find that I have made a little bit progress and enjoy this song. I really hope that this song will be a little bit help to you to improve your Chinese listening ability.

Chinese Classical Poem --0085 (By Wang Jia) & Shirley Created Music-0075: Yu Qing -- The Sun Shines Again After the Rain


In the summer, it often rains suddenly. Rains are affecting the environment where we are living, to clean our world or to destroy a place. Here is a little poem that was written by a Tang Dynasty (A.D.618 - A.D.907) poet, to express how a rain changed the view in a little garden. The pistils had been among the flowers before a rain; there was not anything under the leaves after the rain. Bees and butterflies were flying over the wall, made the poet thought that the spring scenery was just in the neighbor’s home. As usual, I have created, played a piece of music and I have written a Chinese calligraphy to match it. I do hope they will be a little bit help to you to learn Chinese language.

Shirley Written Chinese Calligraphy -- Running Regular 012: Yu Qing -- The Sun Shines Again after Rain
Just like painting a picture, I enjoy writing something with Chinese style in the golden lamp with a very calm heart. Both of painting and calligraphy, plus music, all of them are bringing me a very peaceful emotion and it is helping me to live in a quiet and relaxed style as soon as I can. This is just the Chinese classical poem over and I have created a piece of music to match it. I do hope all of them will be a little bit help to you to know more about Chinese culture.


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...
