Old Drawings

The player happened to play Daydream's piano music. The very past burst to my mind.When I was in uni, I hated accounting as my major. At that time I skipped classes to stay in the dorm to draw. With music, I kept drawing different portraits one after another, sometimes with tears dropping. My heart continued to be sensitive. Drawing was the way to let my sentiments out. It was my way to heal. I couldn't help looking back at some old drawings drawn at that time, about 5-6 years ago.

Once there was a girl,

You've no ideas what she'd been through

You don't know she was such something blue

a bird singing gloomy songs

The first time her wings broke

she realised she actually had them in two

The first time her heart broke

she believed her feelings were so true

that others could hurt but could never deprive

From then on, she started the long trip seeking home

Rather suffered than numb

Get Summer Back

It snowed again, heavily. I'd like to get more warmth a bit through thinking of some summer colour. So I did these.

The End of Autumn

With the first snow in Shenyang, I realised autumn has really ended. Here's a little piece of autumn colour for you all, from my sketchbook.

Frost

Many eyes are covered by the splendid world

not be able to see the truth

The truth lies in the heart

only if you listen to its rhyme

you could be free

Tree Bark

Bleak wind, visits the hollow wilderness

Whistling an lonely tale

It was recorded on a piece of tree bark

You peeled off remember?

It was a promise on behalf of leaves, stars and squirrels

Beautiful flowers grew on the tree

But it's never told how long it lasts

The next autumn, I was left alone

around the tree where the bark's from

fallen leaves, full of the memory trail

Illustrations for Focus on Dalian

Early this month I was commissioned to do two editorial illustrations for the new issue Focus on Dalian magazine. This is my first time to work with them.Focus on Dalian is a bimonthly magazine created by people from different countries which is like a local platform with multi-cultural vision. I read some of its issues when I was living in Dalian. Didn't expect that they would contact me for contributions one day.

The world is always a big drama played everyday
