我开始创作诗歌的小房间。。。 The little room where I started writing songs…

说真正写完一首完整的歌是在1988年10月9日。。。
“完整”指的是有词也有曲,特别是曲,因之前都有尝试把别的歌“改词”,却总写不出曲来。。。
然后在那一天,上帝给了我词曲创作的恩赐。
永远不会忘记这一切都是从神而来,因我无音乐背景,完全不懂乐理;到今天,别说五线谱,连简谱都还不会看。
所以,有时候人家想请我分享及教导写歌经过,我真的不知道要讲什么。。。
对我来说,能创作那么多诗歌和后来到如今已出版了16张个人专辑真的是神迹!

October 9th, 1988 is the date I actually wrote a complete song…
“Complete” meaning a whole song with melody and lyrics, because before that I did attempt to “change” the lyrics of some other songs but was never able to write my own melody…
Then on that day, God gave me the gift of composing both lyrics and melody.
I will never forget this is all from God because I had no musical background, I knew nothing about music theory and till today, not to say music scores, I cannot even read simple notes…
That is why when sometimes people want to invite me to share and teach on writing songs, I really do not know what to talk about…
To me, to be able to write so many songs and eventually produced 16 personal albums to date is a real miracle indeed!

以下是我写了我生平第一首歌的小房间。。。在纽西兰基督城。。。
Below is the little room where I wrote my first song ever… in Christchurch, New Zealand…

刚搬进来时,房间比较旧,人也很老土。。。
The room was quite old when I first moved in, and I looked really square too…
