  The author talks about life and art in this article. I agree with his opinion of the relationship between art and life very much that we cannot break art away from life. This makes me recall a story when I was in high school. We were asked to write a 600 words essay in the last part of every chinese writing exam and it was wroth 60/150 points. In china, exam scores are even more important to students and their families than their lives. So we did our best to avoid losing every point. And how to get a high grade in that essay in a big part of our lessons. Basically there are two opinions, one is to use huge numbers of rhetoric in each sentence to make the essay full of flowery ornate terms and another one is to write a true story simply but we will put more of our emotion in the essay than the first method. I prefer the latter one, I do not like to decorate a essay much on rhetoric and what I want is to let the audience feel what I feel and get touched by my story. I think that is art. But the ones who use the former method would get a high grade, I think that is exactly the disadvantage of chinese education. Anyway, this article just let me recall the experience again, I like it.
