Mr. Xu's Works of Art:

Reflection：

Teacher lives in the hillside so we have to climb lots stairs to get his house. He said mountains is the inspiration of his creation. This is the place I want to learn, not copying other people's ideas but use our creative inspiration to make our own styles.

Antique house, in front of a big table and we began to interview with Mr. Xu . Mr. Xu invited us to drink tea using  his own tea set. In the teacher's collection, there is a cup his grandmother left, Taiwan mining products. Let us surprise, in fifty years when the Republic of China could make this exquisite cup, really amazing!
