The exhibition in Venice, Italy, was decided a year ago. Originally, I was planning to hold it with a friend, but later I felt it wasn’t suitable, so I canceled it. By chance, another friend invited me, and it seemed that fate had destined for me to exhibit in Italy. I’ve always wanted to showcase my work overseas and see the world outside. However, the opening date coincided with the opening ceremony of our exhibition at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, so I had to abandon the idea of going to Italy. After seeing many masterpieces at the exhibition, I became deeply aware of my own shortcomings. I realized that I hadn’t prepared enough works because overseas exhibitions require time to ship the artwork and prepare catalogs. From the time I decided to participate until the exhibition, the preparation time was very short, making it difficult to complete high-quality pieces, which I regret a little. Nonetheless, this opportunity has prompted me to reflect deeply. Opportunities come to those who are prepared.

義大利威尼斯的展覽是在一年前就已經決定，本來是自己要和一位朋友一起舉辦，後來覺得不合適. 所以取消。剛好另一位朋友的邀約，所以注定了老天爺就是要安排我到義大利展覽。一直想要到海外去展覽，看看外面的世界。只是剛好開幕的日期和我們中正紀念堂的展覽開幕儀式撞期，只好打消前往義大利的念頭。不過看到裡面很多大師的作品，深知自己的不足。發現自己平時準備的作品太少，因為海外的展覽必須預留寄送的時間以及準備畫冊的時間。所以這一次從決定到要參展，準備的時間很短。無法完成很好的作品，讓自己覺得有點可惜。不過因為這一次的機會讓自己深刻的檢討。機會是給準備好的人的。
