Wu Weishan cultural figures sculpture gallery


We went to Nanjing university to enjoy the artworks which were made by Wu wenshan on Dec.4 2008.

Professor Wu Weishan was born in January 1962 in Dongtai, Jiangsu province.He is now a delegate of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, honorary professor of Nan XiaUniversity in South Korea, a member of Royal British Society of Sculptors, a member of Chinese Artists Association, president of the Sculpture Institute of the Chinese Academy of Arts and president of the Art Academy of Nanjing University.


Most of the artworks are made by professor Wu and a few of them are made by other famous artists in the exhibition center.Full of historical spirits,these sculptures of culturally famous persons were being shown in the exhibition.The artworks are traditional.


One of my favourite artwork in the exhibition is the "Queen of Holland".It was made in 1996 in Holland.The art work was made of yellow clay.Professor Wu used curves,straight lines ,triangles and columns in this artwork.The subject of this artwork is the queen.She is smiling in this artwork.


This artwork makes me feel warm and comfortable,especially the smiling of the queen.This artwork makes me think that to be a citizen of Holland is a pleasure.Look at the Queen,what a faithful person she is.Look at her smile,how confident she is.This artwork reminds me of an unforgettable moment during the Si Chuan earthquake,our chairman Hu Jintao said to the whole country:"We will conquer this natural disaster,everything will restore."Although the tears were rolling in his eyes,we all trust him because of him firm voice.He is the person who is worthy to trust,he is one of the greatest chairpersons in our history.Personally,I think the artist's intention is that to let people recognize the normal face of the Queen who is always having a smile on her face.


I really like this artwork.This artwork has nothing special but it looks ordinary.It records the very normal face of the Queen,it records the most attractive smile of the queen.The beautiful smile makes people feel comfortable and calm.It makes people feel that the queen is a confident person,she is worth trusting.It makes people think that she will improve our lives.I don't think other people might appreciate this artwork.It's too ordinary,whether a person will like it depends on himself.If he likes the thing which is special or abstract,he might not like this artwork.If you are the person who likes normal things,who pays attention to every simple thing around you ,you might like this artwork.


This visit to the Nanjing university give me a deep impression.I am glad to learn more.


An unforgettable dinner




We had a wonderful dinner with the students from grade 12 on December eighteenth.In order to realize the foreign culture ,we went to a Germany restaurant which is called "Secco".Three of my friends and I arrived at the restaurant at half of six and we were attracted deeply by the dining environment.The atmosphere there was terrific.The room was painted in harmonious colors,the candles lit up the room and everything was wine.It seemed that everything is especially prepared for us.



It was nearly 7 o'clock when everybody arrived and sit down.We asked the waitress to show us menu and ordered some thing.The diet was so monotonous that there were only two different kinds of caterings we could choose.I was so hungry that I ordered one of the caterings without seeing it because the menu was written by German and I didn't know the meaning at all.All of us were chatting with each other after ordering the caterings.The grade twelve students came and asked us what we wanted to know about the graduation or where we had difficulties during this term.The first course was ordered after about thirty minutes.I was really curies that why it took them so much time to place the dishes,maybe it was just because the cultural differences.However the food was delicious and I was crazy about them ,especially the beef.Until now I am still think of it.




The dinner was finished at about 9 o'clock.Although it took us about two and a half hours,the food was delicious and the drinks were also good.We took a photo together in the front of Secco and then we went home.This is my first time having a dinner in a Germany restaurant and I will never forget it.
