初次看到滇池的时候是那种雾气很大，朦胧之中有些远山的影子。站在海晏村的岸边，远处的山传说是有一个睡着的美少女。对于这样的传说，我理解的是世世代代滇池人的想象力和人们对生活的美好期盼。再后来了解到古滇国和滇池的关系以及在抗日战争期间帮助中国抗战的美国⻜⻁队，据说有好几架⻜⻁队的⻜机由于受伤或者燃油耗尽都掉落滇池的水底。当我开始准备画这张昆明写生的时候，我决定只能画滇池的一片水，我坐在水边几天边喝茶观水，早晨水波平缓，呈银灰色，接近中午水开始变绿，这个时候说的波纹和古代中国画里的水纹一摸一样，到了下午有⻛就有较密集的小浪，下午7点开始是一天最令人吃惊的景色，在海晏村的岸边看⻄山的落日，天空是朱红、橙色和一点中⻩组成，水里的反光是玫瑰色，很久不散。

所以当我开始画这张画的时候我就在白色的画面上先做了一些气氛，画布上半部到更多的一部分我用丙烯的红、橙、⻩稀释水以后泼在画布上，画面的下半部我使用了⻩绿色的丙烯材料泼洒。这之后我开始描绘水的过程，从远到近，这个时候我使用的油画颜料是黑白色的，等到这些油画颜料都干了之后，我用刷子和打磨机把画面上的黑色和白色去掉一部分，这样最早用的红、橙、⻩还有⻩绿色都从黑白色的背后都出来一些斑点，这些彩色斑点形成的光就好像是从水的内部发出来，并且在画的水里加入了一个人脸隐约的轮廓，这些也应和了滇池的历史和⺠间传说。

I first saw Dianchi Lake, it was quite foggy with some dim shapes of distant mountains. From the shore of Haiyan Village, the mountains are described as a sleeping beauty. For such a legend, I take it as the imagination of generations of Dianchi people and their hopes for a better life. Later I learnt the history between the ancient Dian Kingdom and Dianchi, and the American Volunteer Group (AVG), best known as the Flying Tigers that helped China fight the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. It's said that several of the AVG planes ditched into Dianchi after running out of fuel, or due to the aircraft damage. When I was ready to paint this on spot Kunming painting，I decided to only draw a piece of water in Dianchi. I sat by the lake for a few days, was drinking tea and watching the water. In the morning, the silver gray water ripples were gentle. It was about noon time, the lake water was going green. The ripples at this time were exactly what was painted in the traditional Chinese painting. In the afternoon, thousands of little waves were formed by the wind. At 7 p.m., here was the most astonishing sight of the day: the sunset on the west hills. I stood on the shore of Haiyan Village, I watched it: the sky was composed of vermilion, orange, and a little bit of medium yellow. The reflection in the water was rose - colored lasted for long.

So when I started drawing this picture, I first set a tone on the white screen: the diluted acrylic paints - red, orange, yellow were splashed on the upper part of the canvas, and the yellow green for the lower part. Later, I depicted the water, from far to near, about this part, my painting were black and white. When the paint was completely dry, I used a brush and a grinder to remove some of the black and white paint on the canvas, then the red, orange, orange, and green spots emerged from behind, the colourful light seemd to be given out under the water. I drew a faint face contour in the water, which also answered the history and legends of Dianchi.
