Art is how I fuel my creativity and energy.

I used to naively think sign language was a universal language, and it turns out there are so many of them. When I was very young, I went to a park and an artist drew a portrait for me. He used sign language. His family said I can use my fingers to express my thanks to him. I was too shy to do that… I remember that moment every once in a while, and wish I had told him thanks. Hope he is well.

Theme “T”. T is for thanks.

“Duan Wu Festival” (or the Dragon Boat Festiva

“Duan Wu Festival” (or the Dragon Boat Festival), the fifth day of the May in the Lunar calendar, is an important Chinese holiday. It is for remembering a politician and great poet Qu Yuan, who lived in Chu Guo Country, more than 2000 years ago. A tip on Chinese history: before the ancient China was united, it was broken into many smaller countries. Chu Guo Country was one of them.

At that time, Qu Yuan thought that his country was dying and nothing can’t be done to save it. He was desperate and committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River. It is said lots of people were looking for his body with boats, fearing that his body would be eaten by fish. Over time, this becomes the yearly Dragon Boat Contest. Also, it is said that people threw rice dumplings (“Zong Zi”) into the river, so that fish would rather eat the dumplings than his body.

A rice dumpling is very different from a regular dumpling. A regular dumpling usually has veggie or meat stuffing, wrapped with flour-based wraps. The rice dumplings are usually stuffed with a variety of things, such as red bean paste, dates and meat, wrapped with glutinous rice first, then lotus leaves. In the north side of China, people love to eat sweet rice dumplings (stuffed with bean paste etc), while people from the southern part of Chins love meat based rice dumplings better.

Since the festival is to remember the dead people, on this day, we send good wishes to each other, wishing everyone healthy.

Theme “F”. F is for Duan Wu Festival.

My animation tribute to Bruce Lee’s quote on bei

My animation tribute to Bruce Lee’s quote on being like water:

“Empty your mind.

Be formless, shapeless, like water.

You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.

Water can flow, and water can crash.

Be water, my friend."

Theme “E”. E is for Empty your mind.

We got our second dose of Moderna done! We felt sore arms, a bit chill, and low fever for a day. Everyone reacts to it a bit differently. I heard some colleagues had much stronger reactions. It might be good to schedule the vaccine on a Friday and use the weekend to recover.

Let’s end this pandemic. Vax up.

Theme “W”. W is for wellness.

It is said that Dandelions are one of the first flowers kids give their moms. They are simple and everywhere. When they get mature, the yellow flower turn into a fluffy head, and seeds fly with the winds to their destinations. Just like me, now far far away from home. I made this short animation of dandelions, sent it to my mom and remotely wished her Happy Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms!

Theme “D”. D is for dandelion.

Theme “X”. X is for unknown. There are so many unknowns in our lives, and it’s up to us what mindset we want to be in to deal with them. When I started out looking for a piece of music, it’s unknown what I would find. I didn’t expect to find something that was so perfectly fit the mood and tempo at the first shot. That was an unknown turning out to be a happy ending.

Theme “Y”. Y is for yelling. It’s interesting how a conversation can evolve into yelling, and how an outside factor (e.g. an unexpected higher priority that asks for attention) can disrupt the conversation and calm things down. Music: Ziggy Secret by LMOP.

The power of love — we made a video (IGTV in @alpha.and.panda) to remember dear Alpha, our German Shepherd Dog. She left us forever on Feb 28, 2021, because of severe chest infection.

We attempted to write down all the happiness she brought to us, but it’s really hard to capture all the lively moments in writing. Therefore, we made this video of our favorite Alpha moments.

Time will go on, and these moments will remain.

Alpha will be forever missed❤️
