\u00a0Chinese\u00a0Artist and Architect, Jingtao Li<\/em><\/strong> shares his love for his new and termporary home here in the Midwest. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

At the end of October, I and my three friends, a south Korean man and two Americans went on a camping trip. Columbia is amazing place, for when we drove our car to camp just 20 minutes outside the city, I found myself in a forest which shows the good relationship of mankind and nature<\/strong>, which is unbelievable to the Chinese people since there is so little natural areas around city in China.<\/p>\n

This was my first time to experience camping: to sleep under a tent at night in the forest. Because of all of the newness of this experience I could not sleep in this mysterious world. The voices of different animals was coming, like a gate of another world opening. Further, the foot falls of many little animals touching the leaves produced much strange sounds near our tent, not to mention the voices of a group of coyotes.<\/p>\n

All these sounds were a vivid symphony –even including the snoring of my neighbor person. I never listened so such beautiful and mysterious music. The animal world deeply impressed me —the world of the night so distinctly separate from the human world. I enjoyed every second and minute. We were the intruders. I believe that we have to keep quiet and not disturb their world.<\/p>\n

In China there is famous architect,\u00a0Wang Shu,<\/strong><\/em> who said these famous words: \u00a0 “We are not only building a building but also creating a world that respects animals, plants, lakes, rivers\u00a0–reaching for a harmonious relationship which is worthy to be called a beautiful world.”<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
