有一个地方叫月亮河，是从通州大运河分流出来的一段变变的支流，这个漂亮的名字是因为那里耸立起了一个著名的渡假村，那时我在宋庄的画室到回家的途中，这里是我的必经之地。几年以前我还记得那一个很烂的地方，看得见的只有满是淤泥的河道，和岸边堆满的垃圾和废品，还有很多收废品的人和他们住的棚子。
不知为什么，我却总是追忆那时的情形，而眼前却不是我认为一个能叫月亮河的地方，因此我画了一个在我记忆中不变的地方《月亮湾》。

“MOON BAY”

　　The Moon River is a branch of the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal in Beijing. It was given the beautiful name after a well-know resort village was built there. Traveling from my studio in Songzhuang Village to home, I used to go through the place frequently, Only a couple of years ago, it was still quite a filthy spectacle; the river was filled with mud, as garbage collectors, shelters occupied the banks.
Somehow, the former image of the place has kept coming to my mind. And I don’t think that “Moon River” is a name fitting the place after the cleaning up. So, I put onto the canvas the “Moon Bay” that has remained unchanged in my mind’s eye.
