Always feel good when get back from a trip especially when you see those familiar faces and the lovely pets appeared before again.It was a busy week,I met the partner on Saturday evening and had our first business dinner together.The next day I went to airport to pick up one of my friend who in the same industry as mine.We went to salon and made a hair-do before we heading for a dinner with the dealer.We invited both our friends for the dinner so it would brings more atomosphere and more connection to eachother.The dinner was in the hotel which only open to the VIP of governers in old days.Dishes at there are tasty,what is a kind of mixture with both Shanghaiese & Cantonese.I can't deny that it really tasty with a thumb-up. After the dinner the time was rushing to 10:30pm,we take the taxi and back to hotel as soon as we greet eachother at bye. Finally it feels exhausted when crotched in the sofa of the suite.I think every of ours are in same tiredness or one of us may worse.As planning,the next day we will have to heading for the factory at Hai-Ning City in Zhejiang Prov.For a time surpressed,I said bye to both my partners and take taxi direct to the office nearby because I need to book the taxi to drive us to the factory we are heading the next morning.

It was 11:30pm when I get to office,and fetching for the name card of the driver I knew well.I hesitated in seconds that I worried he may aslept at such late time.As to me,I don't like rush in the morning because a bad preparation work.So I decided to call the driver with a bit embarrassment at last.In the phone,he was not in bed at the moment.I told him that need his service the next day.He speaks and granted my request in a jubilee.Blessingly,I didn't make a things too bad.

The same night I arrived home 12:15 and prepare luggage for a week journey. I was out of energy when I set the timer and get to asleep on my pillow.

Aug.28.06 6:00AM
I was awaken by the timer but my eyes seems are out of control...After several minutes,I had feeling better with my eyes and all over.It was humid day or it was just a bad day because a short sleeping. Jumped in bathtub and take a shower,afterwards I feel refreshed again.Later I was so annoyed by the traffic in the downtown.I tried as early as I can....but it's most difficult thing in the world when you try to catch a cab on a humid Monday moring in the summer.I watched the time ticking and sun shinning with a 36C temperature.I hope the mobile won't ring at the moment.

At the lobby in hotel 9:00AM
Fortunately,I was not later than the planning time.My friend and me jogging to my partner's room with a pumping heart.In sooner,I got to bank with the male partner and left my friend and another partner in the taxi.I feel better in a short second because we are on the road.LOL!~

Bank of China 9:10AM
Since the interests of RMB goes up to 2.23 and the rate 7.95 between US$ & CN,banking is a first priority especially in Monday Morning.I 've taken a lable of No.074 and waiting...the counter broadcasting the No.35....OUch!! another 41 people awaiting....

Bank of China 10:45AM
After a while,the number jumped to 70 that some people just left with an impatience.Very soon,we went to the counter with the lable of number.Now I feel a bit calmly...

Taxi on the way to Hai-Ning 10:55AM
The sun says hello to everybody in the car through the windowpane.The driver turned condition on and I were somehow little expecting the journey ahead.

(It is just a day started... )To be continue... ...

Intro
The erhu (Chinese: 二胡; pinyin: èrhú), sometimes known in the West as the 'Chinese violin' or Chinese two string fiddle, is a two-stringed bowed musical instrument, used as a solo instrument as well as in small ensembles and large orchestras. It belongs to the huqin family of bowed string Chinese instruments, together with the zhonghu (中胡), gaohu (高胡), banhu (板胡), jinghu (京胡), sihu (四胡), and numerous others. It is said that there are over 40 different variations of the generic huqin instrument.



History

The erhu can be traced back to instruments introduced into China more than a thousand years ago. It is believed to have evolved from the xiqin (奚琴), which was described as a foreign, two-stringed lute in an encyclopedic work on music by music theorist Chen Yang called Yue Shu (book of music), written during the Northern Song Dynasty. The xiqin is believed to have originated from the Xi people of Central Asia, and have come to China in the 10th century.
The first character of the name of the instrument, "二" (èr, meaning "two"), is said to come from the fact that it has two strings; however, it is also said to have come from the fact that it is the second highest "huqin" in pitch to the gaohu "高胡" in a traditional chinese orchestra. The second character, "胡" (hú), indicates that it is part of the huqin family. The name huqin literally means "barbarian instrument," showing that the instrument may have originated from regions to the north or west of China.©www.wikipedia.org

One of the unique features of the Erhu is its lack of a fingerboard. Without a fingerboard, the player has great freedom when executing vibrato. The snakeskin belly gives it a unique timbre that allows the erhu, in its low and mid registers, to cut through a western symphony orchestra. Unlike the violin, the tone is soft and thin at its highest register.

Moon's Reflection on Er Stream Composed by HUA Yan-jun(A-Bin)
The intense music depicts a scene of the Er Stream near the Hui Hill of Wuxi.In the past,the water of the stream was honored as "The Second Best Water in the world". There is a pavillion at the south of the stream in which tourists can take tea with the spring water.In front of the pool there is a square pool with some stone around it and golden fishes in the water. At the side of pool there is a stone dragon head,its mouth continuously spurting spring water. Here is the place the composer often came before he loses his eyesight. Since losing his eyesight,he performs this solo piece to depict the scent in his heart.The music flows in a graceful and sorrowful will.
