Love, Health & Career- Shirley's 304th Friendly Greeting from Shenzhen & Beijing, May 2,2011

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you?

Instead of being in CAFA,Beijing, now I am writing to you at home in Shenzhen.

The ache that re-started since I was in the mountains in Shandong and the suddenly sharp ache that stopped me to stand up and walk on April 22 made me think that maybe the worst time had come to me?

Maybe my especially peaceful heart when I met the bad situation touched the God ( at that time, instead of weeping or being in sadness, what I thought was, if the worst situation finally came, I would continue to paint,to sing and to write on a wheelchair... ) after lying in the bed to read for days, I am feeling better day and day, I have re-stood up and I have attended the last lesson of Prof.Yao Shunxi and learned a quite helpful study style.

So, now, I would not only like to thank God for his kindness, but also, I would really like to thank the God for I have a good son since he has come back to Shenzhen to see me from Australia.

I would also like to thank the God for I have met so many good friends, classmates and tutors, with a grateful heart, I would like to record them and to share their stories with you.

-- April 22, I could not stand up in the peach garden after painting from the nature, Mr. Yang Guangyin who is our monitor and Mr. Cui Jianhua helped me and drove me back home.

-- April 23, I could not sit up for 30 minutes and I could not walk if I did not attach a wall, over a telephone call, Dr. Liu Yu who had her Doctor of Medicine in USA and be a director in Beijing University Shenzhen Hospital, told me to call her before I go back Shenzhen, she would like to arrange the sickbed in the hospital for me.

-- On the same day, my son promised me to fly to Beijing to pick up me at any time I need.

-- April 26, when I went to the school with difficulty, the guard of the school gate specially allowed my taxi to enter the campus; then when I left for home, a girl student carried my books until I caught a taxi and Mr. Yang sent my keys to my home after he found it on my desk.

-- April 27, when I needed help on packing my luggage, most of them were books, Mr. Li Qiang who is managing the book store of CAFA did all of the packing jobs, carried the 8 boxes of books to a taxi and delivered them to the express company. Both of Mr. Li Qiang and the Driver kept helping me free.

-- On the same day, Mr. Cui Jianhua drove me here or their and helped me to copy data; Almost all classmates in my classroom came to see me and Mrs. Wang Hui cooked food and fruit for me.

-- April 28, in the lesson of Prof. Yao Shunxi, I mentioned out of my exploration and hoped to get help and direction. Then I was informed to make a discussion with him some day.

-- On the same day, a girl classmate Chen Lin sent a picture that she specially created for me. Mrs. Tian Runqi, another monitor and some classmates treated me a delicious dinner.

-- April 29, before I left for the airport, I got a phone call from our tutor Mr. Li Gang, he asked me to follow my doctors and did not worry about the lessons. In case I cannot come back in time, I will be allowed to catch it later.

-- On the same day, my art tutor Mr. Tao picked up my son and me at Shenzhen Airport.

-- April 30, I saw first two doctors Dr. Chen Cheng and Dr. Zhang Yu in Beijing University Shenzhen Hospital, I was impression on their sincere and responsible work. Then I will go to see Dr. Liu Yu next week.

Now, since I am feeling better and my son is in China, instead of hospitalizing, I am thinking of staying at home for a while.

I am thinking, maybe it will delay some important lessons in Beijing, it would be worth. After all, my son has not come back China for 4 years, I do want to do something for him, at least, to cook a few meals for him; after all, the health problem is blocking me to go forward.

So, if I must choose among the study/career, love of family members and health, the list in order in my mind is: Love, Health and Career.

How do you think of my idea ? Do you agree with me?

I am just a student on Art of Painting, Music, English and Management, 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 Inter-Art & Cross - Culture Exchange, Chinese Language Learning & Friendship Making. To help the others while to improve myself.

I would like to appreciate you for your understanding, directions, supports and help.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, you are welcome to write to shirley@ebridge.cn or leave your message on Message Board.
