Thinks writing is the most comfortable and happiest thing. The painter of this book: Yin Qi, a freelance artist and amateur photographer. Paints every day for 365 days. From large oil paintings to paper sketches, to doodles on newspaper edges and napkins, it's all treated like a main profession. When traveling, visiting exhibitions, or finding good restaurants, likes to take photos. The technique is average, but the perspective is top-notch. Believes he was born to paint and can at most be a child leader, also teaching painting. This book is a collection of travel essays about Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, including over forty articles such as "Family Inn," "Streetcar Museum," and "Urban Scenery."
