Mr. Morgan's
library, as it was known in his lifetime, was built between 1902 and 1906
adjacent to his New York residence at Madison Avenue and 36th Street. Designed
by Charles McKim of the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, the library
was intended as something more than a repository of rare materials. Majestic in
appearance yet intimate in scale, the structure was to reflect the nature and
stature of its holdings. The result was an Italian Renaissance-style palazzo
with three magnificent rooms epitomizing America's Age of Elegance. Completed
three years before McKim's death, it is considered by many to be his
masterpiece. In 1924, eleven years after Pierpont Morgan's death, his son, J.
P. Morgan, Jr. (1867–1943), known as Jack, realized that the library had become
too important to remain in private hands. In what constituted one of the most
momentous cultural gifts in U.S. history, he fulfilled his father's dream of
making the library and its treasures available to scholars and the public alike
by transforming it into a public institution.
This place is beautiful, the atmosphere
and architecture is just amazing. As you walk in you have to stop and soak in
everything. Standing, or sitting, you can just breathe and focus on the art,
architecture, and books without the distractions and outside noise. The
surrealism exhibit was fasinating and even inspired poetry.

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
现在他已长大，已不需要我来买蛋糕，吹蜡烛，给他一个生日party，他告诉我，星期六晚上他的朋友，很多朋友已给了他一个party在曼哈顿, He must be had good time
with them!
I love him.看来现在爱他的人已不少，也有了女朋友。儿子生性敏感，细腻，温和善良，爱思考，爱朋友，天生会学习，会生活，有品位，会理财，我父亲在他小的时候就开玩笑称呼他“小犹太”。
他的成长和独立，并有了自己的所爱事业，生活圈子，我很为他幸慰。
这是他最近的，在Paris的一个作品解议

This project was shot in cooperation with Trendiano and ElleMen
magazine. The concept was developed by Jess and I and is based on
Trendiano's brand idea of each person having multiple identities.
Despite the limited budget and schedule, we wanted to maximize the opportunity
and give it a cinematic feel. We took a risk by shooting on the 3rd party
Magic Lantern Raw firmware on the 5D MarkIII but in the end it was worth it as
it gave us a really crisp, flexible image and also allowed us to shoot
undisturbed in restricted area. All in all, a terrific experience.
I'm a Chinese-American filmmaker born in
Shanghai, China but raised in the suburbs of New Jersey. As a child, my
mother used to take me to the West Orange Public Library where she would study
and I would wander the stacks, reading whatever I wanted. It was then
that I first discovered storytelling as a way to connect with others and to
express myself.
Film making came to me in college, at NYU. I had entered NYU
thinking myself a pretty knowledgeable cinephile, having watched at least a
thousand films. But I was quick to discover that I was surrounded by
people who literally lived and breathed film. What's more, they were
doing something that I had never considered; they were makingfilms.
I sat in on their classes and I helped out on their shoots and soon I
was hooked. I wanted to try it out for myself.
I graduated early from NYU and I started by film making life.
I spent some time at NYFA and in the USC film production program before
moving to China. I now live in Shanghai directing and shooting mostly
commercial content for the web and TV.
I've been blessed to have worked
with some of China's best. The film community here is young but has great
hope and ambition. Like them, I hope to continue to grow as a filmmaker
so that in the future I can tell stories that connect and inspire others.
When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said,
No final kiss to seal any seams,
I had no idea of the state we were in,
I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head,
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I went wrong,
The more I do, the less I know,
But I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness,
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head,
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,
Gave you the space so you could breathe,
I kept my distance so you would be free,
And hope that you find the missing piece,
To bring you back to me,
Why don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before,
Baby, please remember me once more,
When will I see you again?
"Someone Like You"
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
《Rolling in the Deep》
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fevered pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,
We could have had it all,
(Your gonna wish you, never had met me)
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,
The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hands,
But you played it with a beating.
Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all.
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
Could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep.
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.
