回憶在1977年春節，由鄭銾明學長引領，到春風草堂拜見楊善深老師，得他收錄為學生，從此得以進入藝術的堂奧，直到2004年善深老師不幸逝世，二十多年來，追隨善深老師學習，善深老師的治學精神，身教力行，使我一生受用不盡。今年九月，承蒙霍宗傑，霍鎮源兩位先生的引薦，得到家鄉新會景堂圖書館, 區文廣新局，外事僑務局，文聯等領導支持，在家鄉新會景堂圖書館舉辦我在祖國，尤其是在故鄉的第一次個人展覽，感到非常興奮，特別借此機會， 把多年來的作品整理，加上一些近年新作，發表在這本畫集裡，藉此感謝楊善深老師的多年教導，並以此自勉。

　　最後謹以此畫集獻給我的父母，妻子陸潔和我的岳父母，感謝他們多年來的支持。

　　Epilogue

　　In the year of 1977, during the Lunar Year Festival, I was led by Mr Cheng Hung Ming to visit Mr Yang Shan Shen at his Chun Fung Art Studio. I was accepted to be his student and there begun my trip into the inner world of Chinese art. From that time onwards, I have studied under the guidance of Mr Yang for all these years, until his sudden passed away in 2004.

　　I was deeply influenced by his teaching and his morals and integrity, which benefited me all my life. In September this year, I was honored being introduced by Messrs! Huo Zong Jie and Huo Zhen Yuan, with permission from the Xin Hui Jing Tang Library and specially with support from the local Cultural and News Bureau, the Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Bureau, and the Literature and Art Alliance of Xin Hui, I shall have my First One Man Exhibition in my home town Xin Hui in my motherland China.I take this opportunity to sort out some of my past paintings , with the addition of a few new ones, to publish this album, to thank my master Mr. Yang Shan Shen for his patient teachings and to urge myself to work harder.

　　Finally I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, my wife Kit and her parents for their long time support of my work.
