墨客认为，色彩是大自然送给人类的礼物。他能深切体会到色彩的艺术价值。他充分运用自己的感觉绘画，把音乐、建筑、雕塑等感受借助色彩推向一个极致，表现出非凡的创造力。他是一位天才画家，把埋藏在内心深处的情感开发出来，几乎是他的全部。

After working as a government employee, he came into the world of business. There was some time when he lived a seclusive life, like the life of a saint. Accompanied with Dharma, he was the noble traveler searching for the truth with purest mind. During that period, the paintings which he had collected before became the best companions for him. And then he started his artistic practice.

In his opinion, colors are the gifts of nature for everyone. The influence of colors and close relationship with the natural beauty and heart has encouraged his creation. With the belief that painting the five senses is a real painting, he uses colors to show his feelings for music, architecture, and sculpture. As a talented artist, he exploits the sensation deeply inside. And it becomes the whole life of him.

奥运之光

我久久地徘徊在巨大的画布前，思考着将在北京举办的2008奥运会。我知道奥林匹克是一种国际比赛，奥运会的实质是爱、和平和全人类的团结！比赛是至关重要的，它不是简单的赢或输，而是为了营造竞争的氛围或情绪。为此，竞争者的热情参与，使奥运会成为一件万众瞩目的大事。

奥运会每四年举办一次。不是只有某个国家庆祝奥运盛典，奥运火炬的光芒从一个国家传递到另一个国家，点亮着这一个个国家。不过，由于各种原因，奥林匹克运动会似乎更多的是在欧洲国家举办。

经历了很长的一段时间，奥林匹克才来到了亚洲的日本和韩国。2008年，奥运会将要在东方巨龙——伟大的中华人民共和国举办。这清楚地表明了中国经济的腾飞和建设的发展。我希望奥运之光可以点亮全世界：欧洲、美洲、澳洲、亚洲和非洲。这是我由衷的愿望。而现在，奥运的光芒将在我万分崇敬的国家——中国熠熠生辉。纯净而公正的比赛，热情洋溢、精力充沛的运动员，和汪洋大海般的观众，都会聚集在这里。我坚信，奥运会将使中国更上一层楼，通过此次奥运会，中国将迈进一个新的时代。

心中充满着这些信念、这些喜悦、这些想法、这些感觉，带着这些深厚的情感，我把一切都寄托在我的画里，我穷尽我的力量。我相信这幅画会点亮大家心中的奥运之光。北京2008奥运会给我们带来的新的和平、喜悦和快乐将会征服全世界。

当最后这幅画完成的时候，我自己已经亲身经历了北京奥运会的宏伟壮丽。

Light of OLYMPIC

I was pondering in front of a huge blank canvas for a long while, about Olympic game to be held at Beijing in 2008. I understand that Olympic is an international competition. Isn't it that the essence of the Game is love, peace and unity for universal human-kind? Competition is vital, not winning or losing. It is to create competitive mood. For that, competitors enthusiastically took part and the Games have become a magnificent event.

Olympic are held every four years, It is not celebrated at one single venue only. Shifting from one country to another, the light of the Olympic torch had lit one country to another. For various reasons, European countries are taken as more suitable and the frequency of Olympic celebration is more in them.

After the long period of times, Olympic reached Japan and Korea. In 2008, the Game will be at People Republic of China, aptly representing Asia. This clearly indicates China is economic progress and good constructive signs. I hope that the Olympic light to be lit over the five continents: Europe, America, Australia, Asia and Africa. This is my earnest desire. Now then, the Olympic light will shine on China, the country I much adore. Clean and Just competitions, enthusiastic and energetic competitors and an ocean of spectators, all will be there. And the Game, I believe, will raise China a status or a rank higher. China will be entering a new phase in the world by this Game.

With these beliefs, these delights, these ideas, these feelings willing in me, these deep emotions, I wish them all to be inclusive in the finishing of my painting. I will try my level best. I believe this painting will be able to light, in the heart of the beholder, the light of Olympic. New peace, joy and happiness generated by Beijing Olympic 2008 will overwhelm the whole world.

At last, when the painting is completed, I myself had experienced the magnificent of the Beijing Olympic vividly and glaringly.
