The journey from Canton to New York
Melanie sat with Bohai holding his hand as she told him of how his exquisite art had travelled from his humble siheyuan in China in 1775 to her home in New York in 2020 and how his legacy had lasted throughout the ages.
“渤海。” Melanie explained. “當女王在1780年收到您精美的作品時，她會與他們的最親密的朋友們度過許多夜晚，直到深夜。”
{“Bohai.”} Melanie explained. {“When the Queen received your exquisite pieces in 1780, she would spend many nights with them playing cards with her closest friends well into the night.”}
“在1780年，她的生活因丈夫喬治三世國王的病而非常困擾，這給了她極大的安慰，讓他們可以彈奏音樂並與朝臣們大笑。
國王病得越來越重，女王將獨自度過很多時間。
你的藝術給了她很多快樂。 您愛她來自絲綢之路的一切。”
{“In 1780 her life was very troubled with the sickness of her husband King George III and it gave her great comfort to play music and laugh with her courtiers.
The King became increasingly ill and the Queen would spend much of her time alone.
Your art gave her much joy. You gave her a love for all that came from the silk road.”}
“ 1818年，她過世後，她的兒子威爾士親王（喬治四世）賣掉了她的個人財產，在那兒 chingdynastycollection.com 終於找到了他們。”
{“In 1818 when she passed to the next life, her son the Prince of Wales (George IV) sold her personal possessions and that is where chingdynastycollection.com finally found them.”}
“詹姆斯，我的丈夫。 從他們那裡購買了您現在掌握在手中的作品。
它改變了我們的生活，我們榮幸地成為您的藝術遺產。”
{“James my husband. bought the piece you now hold in your hand from them.
It has changed our lives and it is your artistic legacy that we honour.”}
“您創造的藝術品的生命遺產現在屹立在皇后宮； 您的精美作品在過去的260年中倖免於難。
{“The living legacy of the art you created now stands in the Palace of the Queen; your exquisite creations have survived to be celebrated for the last 260 years.”}
Bohai smiled, bowed his head and said
“願宇宙賦予我智慧以理解其含義並引導我了解自己的理由。
謝謝梅蘭妮·奧斯本（Melanie Osborne）的未來和回答我的問題。”
{“May the universe give me the wisdom to understand its meanings and guide me to know my own reason.
Thank you, Melanie Osborne, from my future and for answering my question.”}
Chunhau sat in silent meditation gathering her art and playing her heart. While the wind and its chimes accompanied her.
