　　Friendship between Hao Li and International designer Mr. Wang

　　In 2004, Mr. Wang first saw my works in China Art Fair held in China Millennium Monument, Beijing. He just took my business card. He has a West Point Gallery in Jianguo Hotel. After fair I held the first personal exhibition in his gallery. But Mr. Wang didn’t collect my works at that time. In a party with friends 5 years later, a woman painter told him that he should collect Hao Li’s works. The second day his assistant called me. In 2009, my works’ collectors invested in Hao Li Art Center in 798 Art Zone for me. I really appreciated the exhibition held by Mr. Wang for me and the favor of destiny after years. This time he collected my paintings ”Four Kids” and “Girl in Mountain” and sculpture “Dream of Woman” and hung them in a Italy-style restaurant named “345 Bar” that was just open in 2009 in Wangjing. In the second meeting, I knew Mr. Wang had operated and collected works of famous artists for years from his moderate gentle talks. I joked, “Just for my persistence in art, Mr. Wang didn’t miss my works after so many years.” We were all laughing. When he was free and alone, he liked to watch the laughing of the innocent children in the picture. So I will hang in there for this world needs happiness.

　　2005 HAO LI and American international cultural exchange scholar Wang workers painting edge

　　May 4th 2005, 2007, a painter party Wang workers sees my works, picture of Georgians and lives close to people, to read pictures while he pondered the bustling city to live in the shuttle's crowd, and I am a farmer's daughter from the yards of the ditch out,,, and, in his collection I work while I was among the Chinese painting 20 the HAO LI painting collection "to publish publishing, then with this book I was invited to attend the Bonn galleries, German collector of sincere love, and the famous Paris appreciate that art and the art of conversation, the world value, Germany, France, the United States and the world embrace art, painting will burn my whole life and passion。

　　Friendship between Hao Li and Collector Mr. Liu

　　I released and auctioned my artworks in Modern Art Collection Company invested by Mr. Liu in 2002. I was one of the main artists signing contract with this company. On a special auction held by company in 2006, Mr. Liu collected all of my 10 oil paintings like “Roses on the 8th Day of March”, “They Were in Love”, “Couple”, “Kid and Apple” and “Sister and her Little Brother””One Spring with Two Dreams”. He said nobody can imitate the colors and compositions of my works. I keep his words in mind- How wide the heart of artist is, how large the sky is. This April, my mother was in hospital for early-stage uterine cancer. She always took my hands tightly. At the moment I felt her helpless and fragile like a baby. She needed me. Facing the disease, I made every effort to save my mother, who brought me in this world. During the period I deeply realized the importance of money that can save my mother’s life, I was struggling among auction, personal exhibition in 798 Art Zone and hospital. I had to deal with the conflict between real life and art value inside. In that year, I was aware that, besides art, I must take responsibility for my family. When all tough days have gone, I don’t want to say anything. I appreciate God who let collectors find me; I appreciate my persistence for which I built a home for my soul. After my mother left hospital, I took my parent to live with me. I had no time to waste and I must express my love to them right now. My family needs me, so I must work more hard and cherish my life for my dream of art.

　　Friendship between Hao Li and Hong Zi, Hong Zi Lan Art Center, in 2007

　　At the end of 2006, Hong Zi saw my works in a painting exhibition held in Songzhuang. After a call she decided to sign a contract of Hao Li Personal Art Exhibition held in her gallery on March 3, 2007. She said 3rd, March was a special festival in Japan and she and her husband had lived in Japan for 10 years. I still regret one thing: after exhibition was held, I didn’t allow the gallery to sell works of SARS period, I knew the request was unreasonable. But they agreed after I explained the reason and collected many of my works like “Girl Sees World”, “On the Way on 8th of March”, “Partners”, “Two, Two Women”, “Woman in Love Desire”, “This Restless Summer Day” and “All in Silence”. For their serious attitudes in works and care for artists, now we are good friends and sharing development in art with each other.

　　The predestinated relationship in painting between artist Hao Li and the chief director of Fanxing Art Gallery in 2007

　　We were all born in 1970s. I quite admired their serious attitude in starting their own business and their courage of never bending to difficulties. In April 2007, the 24th Wei Fang International Kite Festival was held. At the same time, an art exhibition organized and sponsored by Mr. Fan was successfully held in Wei Fang Museum. After that, they became collectors of my works, and about 280 print works of mine were purchased and collected, including “Four women”, “the Context of Two Women”, “Flying the Girldream”, “I’m A Men”, “Singing the Songs of Childhood”, “the Child In Red”, “Flying the Kite, How to Forget the Lover” etc. What’s more, they hoped to sign a five-year contrast with me, but I gave up this opportunity of being a artist who was about to be supported financially and needed not to concern about her livelihood any more because I thought I was not appropriate for it. Although they didn’t quite understand my stubborn behavior, we’ve been friends since then. In 2009, the Fanxing Art Gallery held its first art exhibition which involved more than 30 famous artists. On the opening day, I was delayed for a long time before arriving. However, they kept on waiting for me and didn’t start the ceremony until my arrival. As for that, I was very grateful. In 2007, I rent a room--a huge space of about 300 square meters and 8 meters high--as my workshop which was located in Beijing Huan Tie Art District. Although I took the fact that building and fixing house was my parents’ business for granted when I was little, now it seemed to be mine too. I specially wanted to thank my friend Mr. Li for helping supervise the construction and decoration of my workshop. I created my work of the largest size (200x300cm) in the workshop. I always believe that if you choose to do something, and then adhere to it, and you can greatly enjoy yourself in the process of turning pressure into motivation. Even though in frigid winders, I insisted and painted with ardently passions, with my body touching chilly and lonely nights and with my heart bumping my soul… The workshop cost hundreds of thousand, but I believed that any choice could improve my capacity for survival. After all, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?

　　The predestinated relationship in painting between artist Hao Li and Mr. Kang in March 2007

　　Because of teacher Ma who sold canvases, I knew Mr. Kang. Teacher Ma introduced my albums of paintings and painting experiences to Mr. Kang. One day, Mr. Kang was brought to my gallery and he collected several paintings of mine—“the man with his retrospection interweaving with his mind”, “Self-portrait with blue background”, “Girldream” etc. His short height, busy figure, humble attitude, all of these seemed not to be related to his identity as a successful businessman. However, he was very successful and had a happy family indeed. The peace and humble character of a successful man resulted from his opinion of gains and losses on life. He was two years older than me and we became friends because of collection. Because he devoted himself more to the cooperation with famous sculptor Han Meilin, so he had a lot of artistic collections.

　　In 2009, Mr. Kang invested me on my newly-created clay sculptures because the simple and unsophisticated nature of clay could better reflect the sense of origin in my works. The seriousness of Mr. Kang motivated me to complete my art creations in terms of new materials and to explore inspirations in the process of extending my mind. I was very grateful for him to be involved in the course of my creations again and again. Without his investment and courage, there wouldn’t be my sculptures. Thank him again.
