PREFACE

Somewhere Twenty Years Ago,

Path of A Newcomer

Text/He Yongmiao

Please listen to a silent man’s story

A story about the sun in the darkness

“Dot, dot-dot, dot…”

Li has gone almost blind in July 1982,

She hides the mysteries in her works

"Dots", She hammers them by “heart"

A flame of life, burst forth from the cracks of the concave-convex

Sightless and "blindness", so similar  

Like the same elegy without words

Who is listening, the lonesome hearts

Seek! Everyday in morning and dusk

Seek for footprints of the blind child

Seek for a sense of presence? or values?

Senses, that is all we could render

Like the souls touched by her hands

To seek

For the moans cut through the depth of the night

To become an anonymous rambler

In the darkness, on exile

"Slowly", more " Slowly" 

Close your eyes, and see through your third eye

Suddenly, a Key, opens your heart in panic

"Listen! "

He is " there"

In laughters of the blind child

In songs, so joyful, like the southern winds

In the easiness of life, filled with fragrance of blossoms

Like a newcomer

Who can truly understand?
