When the Italian missionary Mateo Ricci introduced oil painting into China, did it ever come to his mind whether this west-originated painting would spread in China, or would be unaccustomed to Chinese climate?

There is no need to tell all the rights and wrongs during the history of oil paining in China. Maybe we should not just blame on the past. An artist with a sense of mission and confidence in the deep heart shall neither be a hesitant coward, nor a changeable chameleon , who will sway from side to side beause of a movement or some so-called artictic trend.

Self-confidence, what a simple word, while how hard it could be to realize it. By self, we mean ego, and confidence means faith. Nowadays, in this so called art heyday, the emergence of one artistic form will draw down numerous cheap copies.Nobody cares whether these works come out of one's true feeling or accord with deep spiritual exploration, when interest is taken for priority. Nevertheless, those who really believe in themselves, though as rare as morning stars, are shining in the sky.

It is hard for us, whom were born and grown up under such circumstance, to run away from the influence of traditional way of thinking and sense of beauty. Even if looking at the same rock and tree, the comprehension of eastern and western people will be totally different. Therefore, all the individuals living in this society should be varied by their different life experience. The only access to reach the success in art is to create it with your “true color”.

I am such a tranquil man, that for no reason, I feel lonely and confused around noisy place. I consider it as a reflection of my real life state rather than a disadvantage, and in opposite, I quite enjoy it. Under this condition, I give all my true affection to my painting, and bestow them my soul.

I love to devote myself to art, and what is even better than that, is to express my thoughts without words, and moreover, the silent and starry night sky.
