新年願景,茶、梅、竹蘭、芝俱吉祥鵲助天上牛郎織女相會,可令我樂觀期待超越作畫詩之難都是霜雪朋友。
My new year resolution is to be as tough as the flowers of Camellia, Plum blossoms, Cynthia and Ganoderma bamboos because they are not afraid of the cold. I hope when I have some difficulties in drawing or writing poetry, the magpies will help me through, just like how they helped the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd to meet each other through the bridge.
