Sleeping boy

Thursday, December4




Nanjing University

In December4, we visited the Wu weishan’s art exhibition. The title of the exhibition is “Wu weishan cultural figures sculpture gallery”. The artwork is made by one artist. Some of artwork is traditional; some of them are contemporary.
In the exhibition. First we saw many sculptures in a small garden. This is the big model of the true artwork. Is interesting, even you can stand into it. And then, we go into the exhibition. There are many realistic artworks in there. And a guide tells us much information about each artwork.almost sculpture describe the Chinese personage in the history or modern times.

My favorite artwork is called” sleeping boy”. Mr. made this artwork in 1996. “Sleeping boy is a sculpture with a small shape. Just like an egg. The sculpture describes a little child who has fallen into sleep and very lovely. His eyes are closed, the face is relaxed, the head is an ellipse and the mouth is opened a little. The sculpture’s lines are natural and the color is brown. He uses copper to finish this sculpture. It won the pangolin in 2006. And Chinese never had this honor in the history. His so lucky.

This artwork makes me feel very surprised. Because it is so small that difficult to make it beautiful. But Wu weishan got it. His art work gives us some inspiration about people’s beginning. I just feel a true baby fall into the sleep in front of me. Children are the most clean and pure people in the word. And the “sleeping boy” shows the most natural, most lovely. It reminds visitor a child who he met before. Include me. Mr.Wu seemed add the soul into this sculpture. He give this sculpture live.
I think this artwork is very perfect, because its main idea is very interesting and special. I like this artwork very much. This artwork reminds me of my little brother. And let me miss him .how magical it is! The sculpture like has life, has soul. It is totally different from other artworks. I think almost people will love this artwork. Because most people love children, or otherwise it couldn’t have the pangolin prize.

In conclusion, the artwork “sleeping boy” gives me much information. Let me know what most nature of people is. And I think this experience of visited the Wu weishan’s indifferent. I like it.

Have a French lunch

Originally Cherry plans us to Indian restaurant. Because there has an affordable price, pure taste, unique and the highly complementary on internet. But Hugo said his mother opened a French restaurant. So at last our class divided to the Hugo’s French restaurant.
12.21, we met at 11o’colck at NFLS’s gate. We went to restaurant together by bus. After half hour, we arrived. There was a beautiful place.
I am surprised because there is Chinese style. Maybe, foreigner is very attach importance to Chinese cultural.
Then we find the seat and sit. The music is elegant, made me feel relaxed and a little hungry. About 15 minutes, first foot was served. It is a salad of raw vegetable. I heard that vegetable was from French. That was fresh and healthy. But I can’t stand the raw vegetable. So I just try a little. Then waiter changed the knife and fork and dish.

Then, long time waiting… a lot time later, the second foot was served. It is pumpkin soup with the bread. The soup was tasted a little salt, but with bread is ok. I never taste it before. It’s totally different of Chinese soup.

Afterward water gave us main course. It was made by chicken duck and potato. And water changed the knife and fork again. The knife was tartness. We can cut quickly.

I love this food. Finally foot is dessert. It is an apple pie. The shape is beautiful and taste really delicious.
During the lunch, we drunk some drink. I discover the glass is special.
This lunch let me know what in the French restaurant. But the food is totally little. It can’t make me full. And the time was too long for wait. That’s have big different whit Chinese food. I think this lunch just so so.
