Article / Cai Qiliang

Taihang mountain in my heart was boundless, thick, and broad. The most respectful for me was the spirit of standing in the earth. That was a monument of the spirit, which made me to climb countless times. Taihang had a strange beauty in character.

Yifeng was my good friend, born in Taihang Huixian, also have the Taihang character. We get to know each other for more than four years. He painted flowers and birds, figures while I drew landscape, so I often went to the Taihang mountains with different feelings on Taihang. Now he gave me a meaningful task, asking me preface for his album, which worried me. I was not making a living by writing, and I was afraid I couldn't afford the trust, and I was not professional in this field. I didn't know where to start, but his trust and cheer gave me endless power, so I did without thinking about the consequences!
