The above framed black and white hand painting which I bought on my recent trip in China and I find it meaningful and very pleasing to my eyes. Hope it does so to you too.
The literary meaning of its Chinese Character is "happiness". I find it has a very significant meaning in our lives. Success without happiness is a failure. I bought this piece is for my future tea corner. I hope that I can hang it at the wall of my tea corner to remind my guests and myself to seek happiness from our precious lives especially when we have our good tea times drinking our tea at that corner. Let tea be the tool to bridge us to the path of happiness through closer relationship with each other.
Through tea, we also can cultivate good and healthy spirit of caring and loving each other. Trust that tea will also cement relationship, which had happened previously. The other mandarin characters of phrases also stipulated that happiness can cure aging, and prolong life. Now, you can see the great work done by this artist, who has expressed his wisdom well through every piece of his work, which I am greatly appreciate. He has been playing a great significant impact on human beings. His humble nature is well respected and your great support is greatly appreciated.
I strongly hope more people will have such wisdom to create happiness for human beings so that all of us can contribute significantly towards healthy living for the real betterment of life.
Apart from the above significant function, this hand painting also can make a unique culture statement for my home.
Below are the photos taken with the artist at the front of his shop at the old town in Shanghai. His contact number and his business card are also attached for your reference.
I do wish his dream of traveling to other parts of the world materialize in the near future. He told me he can only do so after he obtain the proceeds from the sale of all of his paintings and artworks that remained at his shop.
I have the honor to have taken photos with him and our handshake symbolize our friendship and happy conclusion of our deal.
The reason I share with you is that how wonderful life would be if we all are always seeking for real happiness at whatever we do. Live meaningful and respect others view - let this be the corner stone of our living principle.
Trust our future world will be much better of.

Wow.. this is a very wonderful post. I do agree with your statements about happiness. Being happy is a state of mind and we can always choose to be happy. Furthermore, it is always good to share your happiness with other people. In that way, you can even be happier due to the fact that you have contributed something in their lives.
That framed painting is a good buy. I also love tea (and I love your blog, too..^^) and having conversations with family and friends over tea. Tea can improve bonds and can induce happiness.. :)
