PREFACE
The Colorful Stage——is not in front of the audience, but in the hearts of two artists
Their lives have honed their talents and emotions
To preserve the spark from the ancient fire of creativity
Not to bring suffering, but Hope
These two men are like messengers from an ancient past
Seeking not Nirvana, but a better Future
They love to feel the wind blowing, or the rain falling
With smiles on their faces.
