南北西東----I found a secret in these four Chinese characters.
This finding works well with the fate of Mao and Jiang Qing, Zhou and Deng Yingchao...even though this is not scientifically proven, it may widely circulated for its practical usage.Imagining that one day I travel in South Africa,( by the way I have some portrait clients from there), I have a conversation with a Chinese learner, he will say that: it is you who found this trick in these four characters. I will say: you bet...
南北西東, those are not rare words but cardinal. I have been 西 and 東, not in South America, not in Russia,because I was less active. My friend Dong D.R.traveled all over Europe, at each place he did portrait sketch on streets for making a living. He is the first one in history who broke in Time Square to do sketches. Dong sticks on mass line, while I insist on upper class clientele. Now he teams with his wife and son, has a steady and rich income.Besides, he is an established gallery artist.
南北西東, I traveled in south, north of the U.S., comparatively, I was a house animal.I'll start a long journey again.
