The Framed Painting

my paintings in mum's apartment

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

--- Robin

Mum Sleeping

 

Long Scaled Chinese Painting

Asked by my mum, I did a Chinese painting with the length of 2 meters since we have an old long frame. I painted lotuses, one of my favorite flowers which stands for purity, cannot be stained by the society.The working space is poor.I only have one small table and two chairs to put the paper and all the gears. But the painting turned out okey enough to statisfy mum.

Chinese Painting of An Old Miao Woman

Inspired from travelling in Miao villages. I like the people there, their costume and their lifestyle.

Farmers from Shaanxi Countryside

These Chinese paintings are inspired by travelling in Shaanxi.

Desires Are Like Shadows

Do you think it's hard to shake off the desires?

Cartoon Portraits Commission

These old photos are found in my hard-disk back to the year of 2006 (I know I was quite fat at that time). I was still in university. I worked for a sports  shop during National Holiday for their marketing campaign as what they called "Dalian Young Comic Artist". My job was to draw quick cartoon portraits on T-shirts for the customers who consumed over 400 yuan. It was quite fun. That was my first time to earn money from art.







 

You Never Know What's Next

'

I'm back home from the one month travelling.Got much to deal with here at home before leaving again.Yes I'm leaving again.This time is not travelling but something else more like "moving  or living away"-whatever you call it.

Life likes to pull our legs.It can throw you far away, deep to the bottom of desperation and then in the next swirl,it pulls you back to a garden full of roses in bloom.There is a surprise around the next corner waiting for you.You never know,what you will be brought to.My poor little broken toe became a "lucky break".Without it,I would be probably on the way heading to Beijing right now and more years would be there for me to wait for...

Don't hold expectations for life.
If you do,it will let you down.Since none of us is a prophet.

I'm Back

I'm back from travelling in Laos,two weeks earlier than planned because of an accident.My heart still remains in the countrysides there though.

With fruitful memories, I'm in bed now in Kunming,with a foot wrapped.I will try to write something about this trip on my writing blog,but so much is going on my mind currently.It's hard to know where to start to talk about it.I guess I need some time to let my travel mood melted.Yet I'm still on the road right now.The vacantion still gets two weeks to go.My sketches from Laos will come up later.

Dream Home

A dream- my land.



Me drawing at my cousin's desk, got caught by my cousin's lens.

Nanny and Jimmy

This drawing is for Nanny and Jimmy.

Six months after Nanny passed away,Jimmy just followed her path...May you continue the happy life in Heaven.You are in my thought.

Nanny said,"I remember when I was young,I was like Miao- didn't like my daily job.So I went to the beach after work to pick up stones,and ground them to make necklaces,then gave them to my friends..."

Le Dernier

我从不曾预见
可我知道我们漂泊的灵魂不会为谁停留
你，我
都是如此

剧终，你已离场
我仍深陷其中，与最后的回响共成灰烬

你握住我的手
我的心已是冰冷
我从未感到过
情，深到只能选择逃离
因我无法从容在你的身旁

此刻无言
二尺茶桌隔开的是天上的飞鸟与水中的鱼儿
簌簌的泪水 破碎的心变成苍白的花瓣
一粒粒，一片片落到你的手心

今夜，
喝完这最后的茶
一期一会
永不再见

只当我死了，从未来过
Just take it as if I died,and had never been here.

So Close,So Far

I've been longing for uncertainty

while am swallowed by the endless

Disappear in a watery world

turned into one of the waves

Patted on the cold rock

just for a moment's heart-to-heart closeness

What is worth the attachment in this world?

Yet I take away nothing

but a drop of your tears

It was nice that

I'm Here,You're Not There-3

I'm Here,You're Not There-2
