About Myself
It’s not easy to talk about myself. I didn’t use to enjoy things like “introduce yourself� at the beginning of the school-life and college life. Although maybe it’s a good start sometimes…
So, my name is Song Li and I live in Beijing where I was born and grew up. I’m an age that would better be kept a secret (I gave the same answer to a new colleague. —“How old are you, they said you’re younger than me�, I thought I would answer —“I don’t think so�, but I didn’t. —“Your secret?�—“No, my rule.� I knew I was a little stupid at that time…)
Yes, I believe you’ve realised it’s not simple to take my point. I often write much more in the brackets. Ok, go on… I graduated from the Academy of Arts and Design, Tsinghua university in 2001 and my major was fine arts. I don’t love art like some artists who cannot live without it. I think it’s just something for pleasure such as reading, watching a dvd and breathing some fresh air after a good sleep or tiring work. I don’t even like it as much as other hobbies occasionally, because it’s not enjoyable when I have to earn money by it (Only complaining, I hope).
I chose the Chinese traditional pattern of trees and birds as the background (If my mum were here now, she would say: oh, not trees again…).I’m always attracted by the figure of trees. As for the birds, I’m still moved by the waving wings since saw the scene in the French documentary “Winged Migration�. By the way, I’m not a famous artist, so I won’t say “Only if I were a bird.�
Anyway, this is a personal website about what I paint, what I think and what I XXX. It’s just from an ordinary Chinese person.
Thanks to my friend for giving me this website as a present, I would like to put some good stuff on it to you as a present.
Hope so.

yes,that's 蒙克< 尖�>.I screamed in the dark,don't you think I'm cooler than him?

I think, that you are cooler than him, that is what I tried to express with "countenance". Maybe it has to do with a kind of personal self-protection: against all odds....... somebody tries to rob you...but what he gets is only an image: http://news.xinhuanet.com/video/2004-08/23/content_1863887.htm

Wish my paintings will be stolen from the museum and make the police nervous someday...

Hello from Holland! Thank you very much for your wonderful site and images. Can you please send me a message to tell me who's the artist who made the sublime art at the top pf your pages (the water lilies seeming to float on a pond and the like). So beautiful! I have no words. Wishing you all the best. Hans Verschelden.

Hi Song li It´s interesting to read how a real Beijiner lives...I´ve been in Beijing many times I have to say,,, I´m a tourist guide...
Keep on updating it and tell the world about Beijing life.
But I think that you could make some money with it.
I wanted to recommend a very good affiliate programa to sell posters and art prints. (of course if you´re interested)
They pay 25-30 % of sales done through your site, it´s very transparent and people like it.... Do let me know if you´re interested and I´ll send you the link...
