到了三十多岁，已为人母，对爱有了更多的体会。

　　从三岁起，我不喜欢去幼儿园，在执拗的性格下，父母只好把我锁在家中，等他们回来发现不大的地面已被我用粉笔胡乱地涂满了，自那时起，他们便开始培养我，买了很多画页、连环画让我看，《西厢记》、《水浒》多数是线描，记得画过《白毛女》、《鸡毛信》、《西游记》……现在想起来那些画片定是一流的画师所作，可惜册页都找不到了……后来上了天津市少年宫，中央美术学院附中，大学，研究生，到如今成为专业老师，这一路下来，就过去了三十多年，从幼年到中年没有离开过画笔，这应是源于喜爱。

　　在艺术探求和生活中，时常会遇到困扰和无措，它需要好的老师来点拨和指引，我认为杰出的艺术家兼教育家要有高的情商和宽厚的大爱，在我的学习经历中，体会最深的便是中央美术学院的老师所给予我的独有的自由空间和爱的教育，那是一种爱的传承。老师的亲切和由衷的敬畏始终留在我心里。所以，我想向中央美术学院及附中的所有老师致谢。

　　在此，我衷心地感谢本科第三工作室的导师詹建俊先生、谢东明先生、洪凌先生、刘小东先生、喻红先生，在他们的鼓励和严格要求下，我一直充满着信心地去画画，使我能坚定地走到今天。

　　在漫长的学习经历中，我还特别感谢研究生导师袁运生先生，他在我的成长道路中给予了莫大的帮助。读研期间，随同袁先生走了很多地方，有了对祖国传统文化的认知，从他身上我看到了艺术家的执著与不妥协。还有第四工作室的马路先生、王玉平先生、刘刚先生、贾涤非先生以及油画系的朱乃正先生、钟涵先生、杜健先生、戴士和先生、丁一林先生、张元先生、高天雄先生、江大海先生、姜文军先生、靳连营先生和每一位我曾聆听过教诲的老师，他们的艺与人永远是我心中的准绳。

　　前辈们的杰出作品为我们这代年轻人做出了最好的诠释，艺术之路是要用爱来坚守的，并需付出艰辛的努力才能有所突破。

　　我期待自己能用爱来感悟生活，锤炼作品，回报老师和我的父母。

　　A Narration:Sensing Life with Love

　　As I stepped into my thirties and became a mother, I have deeper understanding of love.

　　My parents started fostering my interest in painting as I was three years old when they found our cozy apartment floor had been painted with chalk at random as they left me alone at home since they had to surrender to my refusal of going to kindergarten. And since then on, they had been buying me picture pages and comic books. I remember these were drawings printed on pages of the Romance of West Chamber, Water Margin, Whits-Haired Girl, Feather Letter, Monkey King and etc. Despite that unfortunately I could not find those pages any more, I am still convinced that those pictures are works of first-class artists. When I grew up, I went on to Tianjin Children's Palace, then Affiliated High School of the Central Academy of Fine Arts college, and then I had my higher education and received Bachelor and Master degrees. Now I have been working as a professional art teacher. Looking back upon the past three decades, from a young girl to a middle-aged, I believe that my love of painting is the reason for my long lasting work on this art.

　　It is inevitable that one might encounter with problems and troubles on their journey of art and life venture. At these points of time, it is necessary to have good teachers who can coach and guide. I think that outstanding artists and educators should have high emotion quotient and generous love. I would thank all the teachers of the Central Academy of Fine Arts College and its Affiliated High School for their friendliness and for my awe to them, which have been deeply carved into my mind. I would thank them for for the unique freedom and the education of love they have given me.

　　Here, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhan Jianjun, Mr. Xie Dongming, Mr Hong Ling, Mr. Liu Xiaodong, and Mr. Yu Hong, who were my teachers when I was with the Third Undergraduate Studio. Thanks to their encouragement and strictness, I equipped myself with full confidence to paint.

　　On my long learning journey, I am particularly grateful to Mr. Yuan Yunsheng, my mentor, who has been giving me great help in my growth. In my graduate study, I visited many places with Mr. Yuan, which endowed me with traditional culture knowledge of China, my motherland. I found the glory of uncompromising perseverance of an artist from him. I would also thank Mr. Ma Lu, Mr. Wang Yuping, Mr. Liu Gang, and Mr. Jia Difei from the Fourth Undergraduate Studio, as well as Mr. Zhu Naizheng, Mr. Zhong Han, Mr. Du Jian, Mr. Dai Shihe, Mr. Ding Yilin, Mr. Li Yanzhou, Mr. Zhang Yuan, Mr. Gao Tianxiong , Mr. Jiang Dahai, Mr. Jiang Wenjun, and Mr. Jin Lianying from Fine Arts department, and all the other teachers who have taught me. They will be the benchmark of art in my mind all the time.

　　Distinguished predecessors have made the best interpretation of art for us younger generation with their works. However, arduous efforts and the injection of love are indispensible for us to achieve a breakthrough.

　　I expect that, with love, I can better sense life and refine my works so as to repay my dear teachers and my parents.
