The 29th Friendly Greeting From Shirley, China, Sun March 5, 2006

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you? Is everything well with you? I really hope you are well and you are enjoying a relaxed and easy weekend.

This week, in my professional field in the company, a China core and top economic magazine agreed to publish something that my new project created monthly. The registered users have been over 3900 even though the project has not been completed and it is not easy to push it forward, I am still trying to do my best to push it. There was a same situation on one of my new projects in 2004, many people advised me to give up, I didn’t. After keeping working for over one year, it made the first income for the company, its benefit was improved 50% and we won in a national competition in 2005 and now we have had the competency to work for the highest management organization in our industry in Beijing. It has become a good profit increase point in the company. I am sure. No matter how difficult to develop a new project, as long as we make sure it will have a bright future and keep working on it, we will be successful some day. So, I am working hard and want to catch every day in the beginning in a year. Every morning, the first thing I enter my office is to read at least 3 kinds of industry newspapers quickly, to check the project process, to make a project diary, then to have a project meeting for 20 to 30 minutes. Instead of sitting to have a meeting, people who are in charge of business, technology and marketing standing by my computer to discuss our work. I enjoy working in a high efficiency work and I want to do most things in least time. : - )

Days ago, I took a group to visit a colleague who is a department manger and has a cancer. Next week, I will visit one of my teachers who will accept a cancer surgery. Once more, I realize that life is quit weak and I am really lucky for I am alive.

I often think that life is limited and work, learning, living and life is unlimited. I have to cherish my family, friends, colleagues, to cherish the opportunity to work, living and learning, to cherish friendship, sincere and love, to cherish myself ? keep a healthy, happy body and psychology. So, this week, I played piano more than usual, I made it to be a rest via changing my work ? I am really interested in creating some way to accompany for myself. I suddenly realized as long as I can play leaving from a piano music score, then, I can be free really. :- )

Also I am thinking, if a doctor told me something relates to a cancer, what would I do? I would make sure how long time I have. Then, I would plan my time on treating the illness and overcome it, meanwhile, I would certainly write a book to summary whole of my life and the thoughts about life. I will be the person to go with smile to the other world…

What is your thought about life and living? Have you thought this kind of problem? What is your attitude if you suddenly face the suddenly illness or hit?

Chinese Gongbi -- 017(Flower, Bird & Character): Painting From Nature
I painted this picture to remember March 17, the 3 anniversary I re-started to learn art, to remember my former American art and music teacher who had guided me to re-go on the art and music learning road and also has left from me forever. I started the picture 2 weeks ago and I completed it ahead for 12 days after working on it for about 90 hours. I hope that I myself be able to keep learning from the nature, from anyone who has good idea or skill, to learn from all artists and musicians in the history and current times, to keep learning and painting in whole of my rest life. I wish my former teacher peaceful and happy in the other world...

Chinese Art Song--0012: The Amorous Land
I was touched by this song when I first heard it. Tears often flow on my face when I sing it for its beautiful tone, lyrics and stories behind it. Famous musician Mr. Ren Zhiping wrote the lyrics in 1982 when he gave up his opportunity to go board after the Culture Revolution finishing; Famous composer Mr. Shi Guangnan created the music and he always prepared a tape of the song for his wife when she had a trip broad. 1989, when he was gone, instead of playing some funeral music, this song was played according to his last wish.

Chinese Classical Poem-- 0034: Plum Blossom -- Meihua
March is the time to visit plum blossoms. As an important part in Chinese culture, plum blossom is one of favorite things of artists and musicians. I have introduced you a famous Chinese song Praising Red Plum Blossom. Do you remember it? As far as the Song Dynasty(960--1279)poet Wang Anshi(1021 ? 1086, we have also learned his another poem Chinese New Year , You can review them via the links. As usual, I created a piece of music for the poem. Hope it is a little bit help to your Chinese learning.

Chinese in Daily Live -- 0016( Sentence: 092--097): How to Talk About The Seasons In Chinese
In most of places in the world, winter is going and spring is coming. Season maybe has become a hot topic. So, I would like to offer you some new sentences about seasons and hope it is a little bit help to your Chinese learning.

I am just a learner on art, music, English and the work on the web site. 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...
