2001年5月1日，我参加北京国际艺术博览会，我还是有3平方米展线挂着画，《画外有话》《无耐》《我的未来不是梦》等作品，唐炬先生文质彬彬的书生样与中央美院壁画系的教授还有一位银行的董事长，他在问我价值时，我说了每幅3万元，他问到我创作的灵感与语境，我简略的告诉他，我没有在意他真会喜欢我的画，他说在展览结束后去我的画室，5月7号他打电话说去看我的画，我当时租住在望京的南湖西里小区，他到望京找不到，我说线路还是不明白，最后他坐了三轮车来，还带着手提电脑笔记本女画家阎平、中央美院袁运生等都是他当时签约的画家，我知道他们都是名家，唐炬希望和我签约时的合作两年我感到只要有优越或束缚，我就会不能够自由画画了，我放弃任何的合作，他可能觉得眼前的我不容易沟通，甚至认为我的脑子有点死，最终他收藏了12幅油画作品，装满面包车拉到王府井的饭店，再装进他的车运回济南，银行董事长的阿姨希望我做她的干女儿，我没有答应，因为我对走进我的好事与藏家，心会更加的平静，唐炬收藏的作品是我租住的西八间平房时，每天晚上忘我的陶醉其中画，那个通道住的男画家，叫我女鬼，晚上灯总是生生不息，画完这批画后，我的胃病彻底的坏了，因为我不能吃上合适的饭，屋内的耗子还掠夺掉我的方便面，在肌饿中绘画伴随着我，如欲望的激情温暖着我的夜，我如痴如醉在绘画的世界里••••••《无耐》《画外有话》《无泪的哭泣》《我的未来》《画中的女孩却没有花》《迷惑的情感》《没有归宿感的女孩》《聊聊女人情》《自己看自己的女孩》《红色青春却成灰色》《为爱彷徨的两个女孩》《我爱的男人在外忙什么?》在2001年5月7日由尚艺术画廊唐炬总经理收藏、第二位藏家载着我黑夜里唱出地心声驶向孔子的故乡山东济南!感谢你唐炬先生使我轻松的拥抱这个鸟语花香的春天••••••这个时候我租住两室一厅的楼房里每月900元。

　　On May 1, 2001, I participated in Beijing International Art Fair with a 3 ㎡booth again. This time I took my works such as “Words out of Picture”, “Helpless” and “My Future is not a Dream”. I met gentle Tang Ju and a professor from Fresco Department, the Central Academy of Fine Arts and a Chairman of Bank. Mr. Tang asked the price, and I told him 30,000 Yuan per work. He also asked the inspiration and context of my creation, I made a brief introduction. I didn’t notice he really like my works. He said he would visit my studio after the fair. On 7th, May, he called me and wanted to see my works. I lived in a leased apartment in Nanhuxili Community in Wangjing at that time. But he couldn’t find the way even I told him. At last he found me by a pedicab together with a laptop. I knew Yan Ping, a woman painter and Yuan Yunsheng in the Central Academy of Fine Arts, both two famous artists were his contracted painters. Mr. Tang hoped he could sign a 2-year contract with me, but I felt I would lose my freedom of creation if I am too comfortable or restricted. So I refused cooperation in any form. Maybe Mr. Tang thought I’m not easy to communicate, even a kind of one track mind. He collected my 12 oil paintings finally, and sent them to a hotel in Wangfujing on a microbus, and then to Jinan on his own car. Aunt of chairman of bank hoped I could become her adopted daughter. I didn’t accept because I always calm before any surprises and collectors. The works collected by Mr. Tang were the pictures I created in selfless inebriety every night in a leased bungalow in Xibajian. A male artist also living in the lane called me “ghost girl” because the lamp in my room was on every night. After these pictures were completed, I was suffering from a totally upset stomach because I couldn’t eat healthy food and even the mice in the room robbed my instant noodles. I painted in hungry, but the desire and passion comforted me at night. I was addicted in the world of art… “Helpless”, “Words Out of Picture”, “Tearless Weeping”, “My Future”, “Girl without Flower in Picture”, “Lost Emotion”, “Homeless Soul of a Girl”, “Talk About Love of Women”, “A Girl Seeing Herself”, “Red Youth Becomes Grey”, “Two Girls Puzzled for Love” and “What’s Going on These Days, My Beloved Man?” were collected by Mr. Tang Ju, General Manager of Shang Art Gallery on May 7, 2001. The second collector of my works took my aspirations created at night to Jinan, Shandong, the hometown of Confucius. Thank you Mr. Tang, you helped me enjoying this sweet spring easily…this time I rented an apartment with two bedrooms and one living room, 900 Yuan per month.
