Easter Magic Ribbon


This is an Easter story about forgiveness and love, which are also the meaning of Jesus Christ’s salvation. For this reason, I want to send Easter blessings through this story. Wishing you a lovely Easter with your family and friends!


Huh? Why does E.Ding ran so fast? E.Ding has a special event at home today because Easter is coming, so she is full of anticipation and wants to run home quickly. She will play with her good friends Fragrance and Spicy. They keep running together. They imagine themselves as racing cars filled with gas, happily heading to E.Ding 's house.

Their special event today is to prepare for the Easter games. This game is called "Easter Egg Hunt”.

The game is like this: On Easter Day, E.Ding's mother collects colourful Easter eggs in different places, then E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy carry their Easter baskets to look for Easter eggs. Whoever finds the most Easter eggs wins.

In order to prepare for the "Easter Egg Hunt", E.Ding and the others agreed to paint Easter eggs at E.Ding's house and make their own Easter baskets.
 

At home, E.Ding's mother have already prepared what they need: a lot of eggs and paints. Mother put them all on the table. When they paint different patterns on the eggs with different colours, the unique Easter eggs are completed.

E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy paint Easter eggs very carefully. Although there are still some Easter eggs that have not been painted, they are already talking about which Easter egg they like the most.

E.Ding likes the Easter egg painted with many colourful flowers because E.Ding likes flowers very much. Spicy likes the Easter egg which has a smile on it because he hopes everyone to be happy. And Fragrance likes the big butterfly Easter egg because she thinks the Easter egg with a bow is like a gift. The Easter eggs are so pretty and lovely, so they really enjoy having a good time drawing them.

But E.Ding has to leave for a while because she wants to go to the bathroom.

Ah! When E.Ding turns around, she feels her hand touch something, and then she hears the sound of something falling to the ground. At the same time, she hears "Si~~~".

What exactly does she drop?


E.Ding looks at the floor curiously, she is petrified! She dropped Fragrance's favourite Easter egg! E.Ding carefully picks up the Easter egg, not knowing what to do. Because she sees that the Easter egg had cracks.

Looking at the cracks on the Easter egg, E.Ding is very upset. She knows that Fragrance would be very sad, and she doesn't know how to restore the Easter egg. She keeps saying sorry to Fragrance. Fragrance is a little bit unhappy, but she says to E.Ding:

" E.Ding, it's okay! I forgive you because I can draw another big butterfly Easter egg!"

When E.Ding hears Fragrance’s forgiveness, she smiles slightly. She thanks Fragrance and says that she would also draw a big butterfly Easter egg for her.

Spicy says he wants to draw one too.  All of them want to paint a big butterfly Easter egg now! Will this Easter be full of butterfly eggs?

However, there are tears trying to escape from E.Ding 's eyes. E.Ding is still thinking about the broken Easter egg. She finds that when she did something wrong that she can’t fix, she feels a deep sorrow in her heart. Moreover, she also feel miserable for making Fragrance upset.

Both Spicy and Fragrance askes E.Ding what happened, E.Ding says: “I broke Fragrance 's favourite Easter egg, and it couldn't be fixed.”

Fragrance says to E.Ding: "I am even more unhappy now because I have something missing."

"What are you missing?"

"My good friend called Joyful E.Ding is gone. I want her to come back!"

E.Ding suddenly understands that Fragrance and she both want each other to be happy, so she can't be sad anymore.

She should be very grateful to have two good friends, Fragrance and Spicy. E.Ding smiles joyfully because she thinks her good friends are so wonderful.

Both Fragrance and Spicy say, "Come on, E.Ding, let's paint the most beautiful Easter eggs in the world!"

E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy finally drew all the Easter eggs, they are so cheery! They love the Easter eggs so much that they don't give the Easter eggs to E.Ding 's mother immediately. They put the Easter eggs together and want to accompany their Easter eggs more.

Spicy also did something that made them all happier than playing "Easter Egg Hunt", so they all jump for joy.

What is it? Spicy ties ribbon bows on E.Ding’s and Fragrance's hands. Spicy himself doesn't have one, because he says he is a boy and doesn't wear a butterfly, but he also ties a ribbon on his hand. Neither Fragrance nor E.Ding know what was going on, Spicy say:

"This is called 'Magic Easter Ribbon'. When we do something wrong or get angry with our friends, it will use magic to remind us that we want to be cheerful with our friends!"

E.Ding and Fragrance think it is really great! Yes, the "Magic Easter Ribbon" on their hands means that they are good friends forever. Although they haven't played the "Easter Egg Hunt" yet, they have already found the treasure. The treasure is their good friends: E.Ding, Fragrance and Spicy!

富察令兒的筆名由來

富察令兒,是筆名,也算真名。 我從沒有忘記,小學時的我,以及我的兄長和妹妹,曾經懷着興奮和好奇的心情,翻開我們的族譜,細看當中的記錄。 然後,我們知道自己的身世。 我年幼時不知道清太祖努爾哈赤何方神聖,直至這幾年想要尋根,讀到墨香滿樓的《清朝這些人‧努爾哈赤卷》,我才有更多了解,也更明白為何滿洲人這麼尊敬他。 列祖本姓富察,屬鑲白旗。清朝有位皇后也是富察氏,不過她是鑲黃旗,鑲黃旗的富察氏較出名,而我們卻是鑲白旗,不可以幻想自己有個做皇后的祖宗了。 話說回來,富察令兒這個名字,是小學時已經有的,因為族譜說第十五代女兒是「令」字輩,也就是說,我是滿洲鑲白旗富察氏第十五代女兒。我記得,小學時讀到這個資料,便問媽媽:「如果起初改名時,看到族譜這樣說,那麼你會為我起個甚麼名?」媽媽想了想,答:「令兒。」 據我有限的歷史知識,我知道清兵入關後採用高壓與懷柔政策,因為有懷柔,所以滿人早早就改了漢姓,族譜裡也有較詳細的記載。富察氏,在清朝時已改為傅氏。因此,富察令兒這個名字,我只用作筆名。 中學時期的我,喜歡中國文化,也因為很欣賞中國文化,所以我越來越有民族情感,我為自己是中國人而自豪。我是到了現在,年紀也不輕了,才漸漸地、認認真真地尋根,開始有另一種民族情感,那是屬於滿人的情感。雖然,我對滿人的文化沒有甚麼了解,只知道入關前的善戰,與後來清庭的腐敗。 然而,我會高興我是中國人,也會高興我是滿洲人。曾經到過北京故宮,很想再有回去的機會,我也期望有一天,可以踏足位於瀋陽的故宮。

My Fantasy Place

My Fantasy Place   “My Fantasy Place”  應該是很富動感的一幅作品,因為那瀑布滂沱地傾瀉下來,而瀑布兩旁,又好像有很多白色的鳥正在向它翱翔。然而,當我看着這幅畫的時候,在我的心靈裏,卻又感到很寧靜。 我感到寧靜的原因,與我終於完成此作品的原因,都是因為瀑布下方的那一片紅。 這作品的尺寸並不算很大,但我卻花了數個月的時間來完成。那是因為,我為它思索了很久。瀑布和白鳥都早已畫好了,下方也是早已有一片紅。然而,我總是感覺還欠些甚麼,   總是感覺還差一點點才完滿。 看看它,再想想,看看它,再想想。 看看它,試一試,又看看它,再試一試。 最後,我在下方的那片嫣紅中,加上小花,然後又加上溪澗。於是,我滿意了,這作品完成了。 作品完成之後,我看着它,覺得那是 Fantasy 。溪流與花群,讓我感到很寧靜,覺得我可以在這兒忘掉煩擾。我可以在這兒,舒坦地欣賞瀑布與飛鳥,細意地傾聽流水、傾聽風,傾聽大自然。 溪澗與花群並不是這畫作的主角,佔據畫作大部份的,是瀑布。然而,溪澗與兩旁的花,讓瀑布有了美好的歸處,也讓瀑布有了聲音。它們的「靜」,使得瀑布和鳥「動」得更美。 不知道你會否也像我一樣,覺得眼前的這個環境,是你的     fantasy ,也讓你的心靈感到寧靜安穩?我但願如此,因為我希望我的作品,可以與你的心靈對話。  “My Fantasy Place”  should be quite dynamic because of the flowing waterfall and flying birds.   The water and the birds appear to be energetic. However, I feel comfort and calm , instead of excited, in this painting. Do you know the reason why I feel comfort?   The answer is the river and flowers. They are not at the centre of my painting, but they are v...

我對鹿的情意結

現在想來,我是自初小的時候,已經覺得鹿很美。那時,我家有一件玻璃小擺設,是一隻梅花鹿,那是我很喜歡的擺設。這是我喜歡鹿的開始。 我的小學時期,電視台播放了一套令我至今難忘的卡通,但我不記得卡通的名稱,也不記得故事內容。我只知道我深刻記得的是有一隻鹿,有個穿吊帶褲的青年,他應該住在森林附近,而森林裡有一隻鹿,那鹿常常到溪旁喝水。現在我憑這些僅餘的記憶,尋到八十年代香港有一套名為《湯姆歷險記》的卡通,主人翁就是住在森林的吊帶褲少年。誠然,我記得這卡通,純粹因為鹿。 以上這兩件事,讓我發現原來我從小便很欣賞鹿的美麗。 提到鹿,不可不提小鹿斑比。事實上,我連小時候有沒有欣賞過這齣電影也記不起,只知道長大後的我,是很喜歡斑比的,當然也是因為覺得牠很美麗。所以,有一年的生日,老公送了木雕斑比給我,真謝謝他啊! 但我一直不敢畫鹿,因為覺得這種體態優美的動物很難畫。(說實在,我有太多動物是不敢畫的,我總是有我的原因,說到底就是膽小吧?)今次,我是「膽粗粗」地嘗試去畫雄鹿,拿起畫筆的我,心情戰戰競競。 我先去看許多不同的鹿的照片,一時搜尋梅花鹿,一時搜尋馴鹿。一邊看照片,我一邊驚嘆,驚嘆鹿角的美。鹿角在雄鹿的頭上,猶如加晃的皇冠,讓牠們更顯高貴。真的,我為這造物的美麗動人驚嘆不已。在我畫鹿時,我覺得最要緊的就是要把鹿角和眼睛畫得好。每次我嘗試去畫寫實畫時,都覺得眼睛是最重要的部份,因為眼睛要帶出眼神和感情。而今次,還要加上鹿角,因為美麗的鹿角可以為雄鹿帶來王者的氣派。 我很感謝朋友和粉絲們,讚賞我今次畫的鹿。但我真的覺得,是鹿本身美麗,畫作才能美麗。我忽然間,很想將大自然的美麗畫出來呢!

伊汀生氣了

生氣的伊汀,與傻傻的飛朵朵   伊汀生氣了,原來伊汀生氣時,好可怕的。 她平常掛在臉上的笑容,在這時候當然是消失掉了。而且,你看着她,會覺得她在瞬間變成暴龍了。我想,你一定不敢向她走近呢﹗即使是她的好朋友香花花和椒仔,應該也會站得遠遠的。 然而,有一個人,沒有害怕生氣的伊汀,那就是飛朵朵——香花花的妹妹。而她,也是伊汀今次生氣的對象。 事情是這樣的,因為香花花學鋼琴去了,所以飛朵朵在伊汀的家玩。玩過之後,飛朵朵需要和伊汀一同執拾玩具,但她說: 「我不懂啊﹗放在哪兒啊?」 伊汀指着她們跟前的小櫃子,說:「放在那兒呢,就是我們剛才拿玩具出來的小櫃子啊﹗」 「你是說前面白色的櫃子嗎?」 「對啊﹗」 飛朵朵抱起洋娃娃,走到小櫃子跟前:「是這兒嗎?」 「對啊﹗」 「哪一個抽屜啊?」 「你剛才從哪個抽屜取出來的呢?」 這時,媽媽請伊汀到廚房幫忙預備下午茶,於是伊汀請飛朵朵執拾好,然後她暫時離開了。 不一會兒,伊汀回來了,想請飛朵朵一同去吃下午茶。然而,當伊汀看到她的玩具時,她呆了一會。因為有些洋娃娃被抽屜夾住了身體,有些則放到別的地方。伊汀問: 「飛朵朵,你都收好玩具了嗎?」 「對呀﹗我已收好了。」 「但小狗被夾住了啊﹗」 「是嗎?牠在哪兒啊?」 伊汀走到小狗旁邊,說:「這兒啊﹗」 飛朵朵也走近小狗,細細察看,說:「那不是我放的啊﹗」 「不是你?」 「怎會是我呢?我不知道有小狗娃娃啊﹗我一向不玩小狗娃娃。」 這一刻,暴龍伊汀噴出了煙,也想要噴出火:「你剛才不是和我一起玩嗎?我們有玩小狗啊﹗但不只小狗被夾住了,還有火車仍在地上,這是收好了嗎?」 飛朵朵瞪大傻傻的眼睛,說:「你為何這樣生氣啊?」 暴龍伊汀希望自己變成一個炸彈,飛朵朵繼續說:「不要生氣吧﹗笑一個﹗」 暴龍伊汀吸了一口大大的氣,對飛朵朵說:「請你將小狗完完全全地放回抽屜內,並將火車放到最下面的抽屜,然後到客廳吃下午茶。」說畢,伊汀離開了。 飛朵朵聽到有下午茶,很是高興,於是將小狗娃娃和火車都放到該放的位置,便奔到客廳了。 在吃下午茶之前,飛朵朵在伊汀的耳邊說:「小狗和火車都乖乖地鑽進抽屜內了,放心吧﹗」 然後,她親了親伊汀,再吃美味的香橙蛋糕。

胡思亂想一通

讓小小的翅膀,懷抱大大的夢想吧! 我看了一些影片,影片記錄了台灣原住民孩子長大後,從都市回到他的家鄉,與家人一起重新灌溉和開墾家鄉的土壤,是已經荒廢了三十年的土地。觀看影片的時候,我很感動。他說那是他的家,他回家了。是的,那片被棄掉的土地是他的故鄉,他在那裏體會到人與自然的親密關係,那是一種很寶貴的經驗。 我又看到一篇介紹,是生活在國外的台灣原住民,成為國際級的畫家,他以他的畫作來讓世界看到台灣原住民,看到他的部族,他認為這是他繪畫的使命。 上述兩位回鄉耕種及以繪畫為使命的台灣原住民,讓我的心生出一個問題:「我的家鄉在哪裏?」 作為滿州鑲白旗富察氏,我的故鄉是吉林,但我不認識那個地方。我在都市出生,在都市成長,我沒有踏足過吉林,沒有聽聞過我們家族的往事。我也沒有與泥土緊密地生活的童年,我從來都居住都在繁榮的香港。滿載我童年回憶的地方,是一個慢慢地改變的屋村。在這個屋村中,孩子的身影越來越少,孩子的笑聲也越來越少,而越來越多的是漸漸走路蹣跚的長輩,以及為長輩而設的電梯。 我也問自己,我繪畫的使命是甚麼呢? 想來想去,還是覺得我喜歡隨心而畫,讓那些從心靈深處而出的畫作,可以展現心中那份自由和快樂,叫人看見便心靈愉悅起來。這也許不是甚麼偉大的使命,而只是一個簡簡單單的願望,就是希望看見畫作的人都會微笑。而我更希望的,是在病中的,或在憂愁中的人,也可以因為看見我的畫作而快樂,可以再次笑一笑。 我是因為這個原因,而一直想出版一本畫集,我希望我的畫集可以成為一份禮物,送到哀愁的人手中。然而,當我着實一點地考慮這事的時候,卻面對一個必然的難題:銷路。 藝術這回事,本來就不是大眾化的東西。實體書,在今天的社會好像也面對銷售的難處。你會買化妝品、買手袋、買衣服、買電器,但你會買書嗎?如果會買書,那你會買畫集嗎?畫得再美也好,畫集終究是畫集,出社版和經銷商會抱多少信心?有多少書店願意發行?如果自己行銷,可以賣多少?50本?100本?500本? 我想,每一個甘願將夢想變成現實的人,都面對過許多不同的困難,面對過許多「不可能」的事。披荊斬棘,到底是一件怎樣的事情?我不禁又想起那句話:「常人選擇看到了希望才堅持,瘋子卻相信堅持了才看到希望。」 也許真正的堅持,所需要的並不只是一顆赤子的心,也需要解難的能力,以及無比的勇氣。 ...
