「2008-北京」
纽约艺术博览会上一幅题为「2008- 北京」的油画：
1 背景: 阴云密 2008 年的台海局势扑朔迷离, 阴云密
2 主画面: 4 个成年人在开赌局, 是麻将, 1个小女孩在场外东亚地区的赌盘上 , 实际上是4个大国在玩, 台湾不是参与者. 而这次的游戏方式是东方式的麻将.
3 赌局的局: 两个金女子与两个黑女子 .中美是对家, 日俄是配角,4个人身份很明显.
4 衣服: 4个人身上的衣服代表实力, 美国上身齐全, 下身裸体,在面上实力最强,而台下一丝不挂, 中国在面上一丝不挂,在面下实力却最强, 日本整个一丝不挂, 没任何实力, 而俄罗斯只有一个遮羞布.
5 神态和动作: 中国背对, 看不出神态. 但是是最关专注於赌局的, 而背地里藏着 2张牌,其中一张是俄罗斯串通得到的. 日本在自我陶醉 , 整个赌桌上最白的一个, 关心赌局, 并自我感觉自信满满 . 俄罗斯躺倒, 把腿搭在美国身上, 而且牌是相公 , 代表俄罗斯因为无关输赢, 表面上是自己不想玩了, 但俄罗斯明里和美国有瓜葛 , 暗里却给中国递牌.美国的神态在看着台湾, 不太关注牌局, 而且双手放头後申懒腰, 表明美国已经比较疲惫, 美国考虑的是值不值得玩下去的问题, 而不是怎麽玩的问题.
6 台湾: 台湾严重关注赌局, 果盘代表利益, 手拿小刀想保护自己的利益. 台湾的衣服是中国式的, 代表暗示台湾才是中华正统. 而大陆只是在身上有凤凰的文身, 下面却穿西方衣服, 代表大陆外在西化，内在满清化的趋势；穿衣服的是美国。
左：日本，
背对画面的是中国，
躺着的是俄罗斯，
站着拿刀的小孩是台湾。
除了美国之外三方都光着上身，暗示实力弱於美国（不是废话吗）；
美国表面上不看牌桌，其实在看她的另一张牌：台湾；
日本自鸣得意，就等着摊牌；
中国除了明摆着一副东风（「东风」啊），背後还有牌；
俄罗斯表面装作不想玩，其实一脚踩美国，一手拉中国；
台湾一手握刀，已经快脱光了（仅用水果挡着）。

Between vineyards and ricotta farms, a field of bright red poppies dazzles those lucky enough to drive along the undulating hills of Tuscany. According to author Frances Mayes, Tuscany is "the sweetest countryside I know, where inviting roads wind off into fields punctuated by abandoned stone houses."

Cattle enjoy grazing on the tall grass prairie, where places like the Z-Bar Ranch set fires every spring. The fires are swift and so is the recovery; within a month cattle feast on the new grass.
