Hand-crafting bonsai, calming the mind to seek the artistic conception you desire

Chen Wentu's new bonsai work "Spine"

Chen Wentu's reflections on creating the bonsai "Spine"

A man's spine bears enormous pressure; for family, for society, for a responsibility, for a promise, even if the spine bends, one must still hold on!

[Bonsai enthusiast's reflections]

Text | Xiamen, Fujian @Zhou Yingzhi

Don't gamble on heaven's will, don't try to guess people's hearts. You cannot afford to gamble on heaven's will! You cannot see through people's hearts! At a certain age, stop pursuing superficial and fake things; life doesn't have that much time to squander. Be grounded, be practical, including with friends. What you can't catch up to, don't chase. What doesn't belong to you, don't want. What you can't carry, put down! What you can't stand, delete! Those drifting away, let them be. Do what you want to do, have your own inner world! Stay away from deception! Listen to the voice you most want to hear! See the person you most want to see!

Using stone as a vessel, returning to nature.

Seek out a remarkable stone, plant a scene of a hundred turns and a thousand twists...
