Fruitful

"Fruitful", Acrylic On Canvas, Year: 2007(Private Collection)

Relax in Christ,
Rest well in Christ,
Sit with Christ,
And also believe that I am already in the Promise Land…
Whatever happens to me, I shall fear not, and hurt not…
and I shall also bear fruits naturally!

Every time when I feel stressed…
I know…
My heart is restless!
And I have forgotten that I am already in the Promise Land!

Full House

I have always longed for having full joy in Christ, every moment of my life!

No tears, no worries, no fears and no sorrows!Just simply believe that as Christ is, so am I in this world!

超人梦

少时爱看第十频道的日本超人连续剧。
记得常与两名哥哥及佣人一起观赏。
当然也发了不少的超人梦!-时常幻想自己也是特种部队里的一员,身着橙色的紧身制服,胸前有一黑色V字形的标记,戴上图样设计别致的头盔,与侵略地球的怪兽对抗!而自己则是会变身成超人的特种队员...。我二哥生性滑稽,就爱扮怪兽!就这样,我和大哥便常与他对打了起来...。
有一次,位于市区的首都电影院上映了“猴王与七超人”,我可乐了!便伴随两位哥哥及表姐弟们去观赏。影片里的猴王虽是主角,但却没能吸引我。我偏爱七超人!内里有超人三号香修树,一号专专,男女合变的北斗南,红衣侠及东光太郎等,真正令我看足了味!

长大点后,在专科学院求学期间,也像超人一样,一天用功十八个小时!累吗?不累!铁打的!
出来帮人打工时,还继续上演超人剧!一分一秒也不放过,能顶!则顶!休息二字是我的敌人!
现在呢?超人累了!
学习休息。

The God & the god

"The God & the god", Oil On Canvas, 4ft x 6ft, Year 2001(Private Collection)


Year 2001 was such a busy year for me – house-moving, picking up a new job, wedding preparations, doing illustration and painting!

Painting - “The God & the god” was done in that year. I did it with so many things happening around me and hardly had long hours to do painting for a day! Sometimes I could only spend one hour for it and sometimes I never even touched it for few days! So I eventually took very long time to complete it.

I also was not very sure whether this painting was a good painting or not, so I kept asking my wife-to-be for comments…and she often said to me, “I think you have done a good job!” But I was still unsure after hearing her comments! I kept asking myself, “Why?” Oh! Maybe the whole painting was too dark? Maybe the subject matter was too negative? Or maybe the images were not up to the standard that I expected? Maybe…???

In God’s blessings, I sold this painting few weeks ago. I tried to make a last observation before sending it off to the buyer’s warehouse. Finally, I felt in my heart saying, “I love it! It is nice!”

"Don't Worry, Sir, Will Increase In Future!"

Years ago, I was very poor. I can still remember there was once when I only left about nine dollars in XXX bank. I could not use ATM card to withdraw my eight dollars (bank account needs at least one dollar in there…), so the only way I could do was to go to the bank counter to withdraw from the bank staff! I was so embarrassed when I showed the staff my bank book - only left that much money in there… I smiled to her (an Indian staff) bitterly and said, “Hah! Hah! No money! Very poor!” When she heard that, she replied: “Don’t worry, Sir, will increase in future!” Wah! What a statement! That encouraged me a lot and really made me feel warm in my heart! A few simple positive words can really lift a person up, man!

Today, I would not say I am a very rich man, but at least I have more than enough for many things! Sometimes when I think back, even now, I can as if still hear her voice saying, “Don’t worry, Sir, will increase in future!”
