Life is Like a Drop of Dew

The text of this painting starts with "Life is like a drop of morning dew".

The meaning is that life is short - the morning dew quickly dries and is gone by the afternoon (enjoy it while you can).

It goes on to say that most people work very hard to be successful - but the more courageous person is the one who doesn't care so much about appearing successful in other people's eyes. This bold person is the one who takes time to enjoy life and good wine.

The Chinese characters are the title that I translated into English above, along with the artist's signature.

BTW: The man is relaxing inside a fantasy-sized gourd.

Gary's random little things about China:

Are you SURE?

You can search long and hard, in every drugstore and sundries market in China, and you will not find underarm deodorant for sale anywhere.
After traveling all over China, I know this to be true everywhere in China except Hong Kong.

If you ask a Chinese person why there is no deodorant for sale, they will tell you plainly, "Chinese people do not smell bad".

My reply is, "Have you never been on a crowded bus in the summer?"
