Shirley's 57th Friendly Greeting From A Travel in Zhang Jia Jie, Mon, Oct 2,2006

Hi,Dear Friends

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

Sunday morning, I started my short traveling at 6:30pm to fly to Zhang Jiajie. Now I am writing to you in my travel.

Last week is really a too busy one before China¡¯s National Day holiday. I had no time to arrange anything for my holiday and even on Sep 30 -- the first day of the holiday, I was still organizing a mountain climbing in the company. Anyway, I was on the airplane to come to Zhang Jia Jie National Park accepting an invitation by a local college teacher ? a formal colleague of mine.

It is sad that she was fired by her department and our company according to the rules of the company that tofire five percent of employees whose achievement are listed last position every year in the first month 2006. This thing made me feeling bad for a long time. Even, it made me want to abdicate and to get marry with anyone who wanted me, to finish my employee life ? just a joke. However, I chose staying on the current position, to help her to find a new job and to help her to summary the experience from the fail. Meanwhile, I felt that I should do something to help the company to improve our management level. That is why, I went to some best similar companies to us in the world ? Bloomberg Branch in Hong Kong and Reuter Branch in Hong Kong even though I could not move as usual when I just hurt my waist. After all, this is a young and hopeful company, all of the managers wanted to make our work to be done best. As the only one who has a doctoral degree of business management in the company, one of my duties should be to help the company to improve our management level¡­ So, I have been standing up 3 or 4 projects since the beginning of the year, not only on business itself, but also on management.

I am glad that most of my views ? included many critiques in my researching reports have been accepted. The general manager has asked the secretary to sent one of them with 17000 Characters to all of our directorates. Also, he asked me to present every manager meetings daily and to help the company to hold the direction of the company.

Anyway, I have been worrying the formal woman colleague for she is the oldest one who is over 40 years old in the employees who had to go, also, with a girl as a single mother. It is really a cruelty thing to be fired when she has been over 40 years old. So, I also wanted to come to see how she is working and living. To see what I can help¡­

I am so glad to see that she is living a so beautiful place and she is doing very well, her paper has got the highest award in her city and she has been invited to be a special news analyst by the local newspaper, too. I am so happy for her and I really feel that a heavy burden has been moved from my heart.

Now, I am writing this letter to you in her office at 6:30am ? I wanted to finish it at about 11:00pm last night., but, I was almost killed by the so big mosquitoes here.

Have you been to China? Where have you been to China?

Chinese Gongbi--022(Flower & Bird):Spring Has Come
After creating some big size Chinese Gongbi pictures -- in my Spring Festival Holiday: Water Lily Girl No.2; Sound Of Flute; Painting From Nature; Beautiful Dreamer I have not been having time to paint a big size picture yet. So, I painted a small one 66cm x 66cm. Do you know how many marks that my teacher gave me? 88 Marks and he thought that my Chinese Gongbi level has made me having the ability to teach students already. :-) How do you think of this picture? Do you feel happy for my progress?

Chinese Xieyi -- 0098(Flower and Bird): Eagle Practice No.3
This is my newest Chinese Xieyi -- Freehand Brushworks that I painted on my art lesson Wednesday night and also my third eagle practice. :-) Now I am put it on the web site in my travel -- I take my computer with me and today -- the second day on my trip, I have found a good place to connect Internet. :-) One more, I just got 65 marks that my teacher gave me many bad and good comments. :-) How do you think of this picture? Do you think that I have made any progress?

Shirly Sung China (Jiangsu ?Wuxi) Folk Song--007: Tai Humei-- The Beautiful Tai Lake
I came to the airport for seeing the mountains in Zhang Jia Jie National Park in the early morning on Sunday, so, I had no time enough to record a new song for you. So, I would like to offer you another song that I had sung at the same time last year and hope it still can bring you a smile...
Chinese Classical Poem 0059 & Shirley Created Music-0049£ºE -- Goose
This is the first Chinese classical poem that I had introduced to you last May. Now, I would like to update it and match it a piece of new music that I have written for you.
This poem is popular for most of Chinese children start their Chinese learning from reciting this poem as their first Chinese lesson. Also, because it was written by a Tang Dynasty(A.D.618¨D907) poet Luo Bin Wang when he was just 7 years old. Most of parents hope their children can also be talent as Luo Binwang... :-) Anyway, the mosquito are killing me in the night here, so, I can only made the text recorder for you tomorrow morning or night... :-)

China Tour -- 003:To See the Mountains in Zhang Jia Jie National Park.
Since time has not allowed me to apply a visa to go abroad to see my only family, there is no any airplane ticket for me to go to visit my parents, even, it is impossible to join a traveling group... so, I decided to go to visit the mountains in the Zhang Jia Jie National Park. I feel that they are just like many great landscape paintings, I also think that the mountains in Zhang Jia Jie is more like men. I had fixed some pictures here for you before I started my traveling. Also, you can via the link to see something aboutZhang Jia Jie National Park.


I am just a learner on art, music, English 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 beAn 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...

If you have any questions, comments and suggestions, please write to shirley@ebridge.cn , or shirleyz004@haoo.com, You are welcomed to publish your opinions in the forum,too. :-)
