Hi,Dear Friends
 How are you? Have you started a good new week?
Until today, I have come back from Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province for 6 days. Compare with my last class of painting from nature in Yimeng Mountains and in Tai Mountains, Shandong Province, April, 2011, the biggest progress is that my health has had a big improvement.
I could not walk for a while and I had a treatment for 45 days after coming back from Shandong. This time, still I needed to take painkillers in the nights, I am also feeling ache in my bones often, I was the first student who started to work in the classrooms on the second day after we came back from Fujian.
A strong feeling is that when a person thinks that she or he is a patient, then she or he is a true patient; when a person does not think that she or he is a patient, then she or he is not a patient. I want to be the latter and always I believe that I can overcome the sickness, and then the sicknesses go from me step by step... :- )
However, we have also to respect the science; therefore, I am going to live in the hospital following my doctors’ opinions and arrangements in the summer vacation.
Can you imagine? Now the freshest feeling of mine is suddenly I see every tree, little grass, or a flower beautiful much more than before I went to Fujian.
For catching the wonderful feeling, in the past 6 days, I painted 3 paintings already, every day, I went to the classroom 3 times in the morning, afternoon and night, started to work at 7:30am or 6:30am, finished the work at about 10:30pm or 12:00pm.
Also, I find, the serious training in the lesson of painting from the nature in Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province has brought me much more patience, no matter how noise out of the classroom, how many people in the classroom, I could work quite meticulous on any thing I was working on. After all, the painting in the public, in the mountains, in the rain has really improved my psychological endurance.
I have attached the 3 paintings with this email and I do hope that you can see the details and to bring you a big smile
Except working on the painting study, the first job I do every morning is to read some English articles. Since the new area I am living in Chaoyang district can not be offered any newspaper in English as I was done in Haidian District, Beijing and in Shenzhen yet. I carry an English book in my bag often, I have also booked an electronic news in English via my cell phone.
Since one of the big problems that blocks me to push my comprehensive art project forward is English language, I am going to do my best to improve myself. Also, I am going to stay in a Western country for a while, to improve my English after I complete the study in Beijing.
How about you? Do you have anything special to share?
