To unearth the roots of Chinese thought,
To probe the eternal qualities of Chinese art,
Experiencing within contemporary life......
Capturing that moment of inspiration,
To attempt to see what no one has seen before,
To think what no one has thought before,
To paint what no one has painted before,
To create what no one has created before.
Reluctant to give up the Chinese brush, paper, and ink,
Painting space, time, yet unable to avoid the human world.
