I am Chinese painter Cuiying Zhang from Australia. Upon the invitation of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Lithuania, I have come to Vilnius for a 5-day art exhibition. By taking this opportunity, I would like to express my lofty respects to you and your people. Please kindly accept the gift of a painting, entitled “The Beauty”, which I have created. Judging from the comments of the public, my paintings have brought the “spring wind” of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” to Lithuania. It is my heartfelt wish that “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” brings to you and the people of Lithuania everlasting goodness and happiness.

Faithfully Yours,

Cuiying, March 14^th 2003 in Lithuania
