This is my brother's house in the US , where he and
his wife used to live with our parents .
My sister-in-law was expecting her first baby in 2000,
and the painting was my gift to her and the baby girl,
who arrived a month after the painting was done .
這是我弟弟在美國的家。過往,他和太太與我們的父母
親同住在這房子。2000年,我的弟婦正懷著她的第一個
孩子,這幅畫是我送給她和孩子的,在這幅畫完成後的
一個月小女孩就出生了。
The home should be like the Ark , a shelter from storm .
Bad weather is unavoidable and sometimes even
necessary because only after the rain can we have
the rainbows and the flowers.
家應該像方舟一樣,是暴風雨中的庇護所。
壞的天氣總難避免,有時甚至是需要的,因為風雨過後
才有彩虹和盛開的花。
The astrological signs represent the whole family, my
parents on one side of the Pa-Kwa , my brother's family
on the other side ; I'm separated from them all by the
Milky Way, as I'm 7000 miles away in HK .
那些星座圖形代表我一家人,我的父母親在八卦的一邊,
弟弟的家在另外一邊;而我卻完全被分隔在銀河遠處,
因為我生活在七千里外的香港。
My old little red car , a second hand Honda Jazz ( I
was the fifth owner) had been with me for 10 years
and was the first thing I owned outright ever .
Unfortunately it was all played out and due for the
scrape heap . I love the car so much I give it golden
wheels and little angel wings, and send it to Heaven .
我那部小巧的老爺車;一部二手的本田Jazz(我是第5
手車主)已經與我共處10年,它是我首次斥資擁有的東
西。可惜它現在已經老舊,差不多要報銷作廢了。可是
我真的很喜歡這部車,我給它換上金色的車呔及一副天
使的小翅膀,好讓它可以飛到天堂去。
This painting is still hung in my brother's house .
這幅畫至今仍然掛在弟弟家。
The Ark 方舟
