“当时艺术家们与画，正在从最早的上海艺术仓库里面搬迁出来。”
At that moment, many artists and art galleries are moving out from the earliest Shanghai Artistic Warehouse.
“更令人震惊的是，这最早的艺术仓库与周边美丽的仓库被无情的推倒。”
"To my greater surprise, this earliest artistic warehouse was pulled down together with other charming warehouses around it in a cruel way."
“因为觉得太可惜，开始了对莫干山路地块的关注与记录。”
"I think it is really a pity to pull down these warehouses,
so I began to pay more attention to the Moganshan area and try to make a record of it."
“随着调研的深入，我感觉莫干山路地块的现状，
如果整体规划，完全可以成为上海标志性的文化场所,
当时为自己发现一个了不起的梦想而兴奋不已！”
"With investigation in depth, I felt that if we gave a integral plan of the Moganshan area,
it could completely become a symbolic cultural spot of Shanghai.
At that moment, I was so excited for making such a great dream come into being!"
然而，梦想所面临的事实是严峻的：
美丽的仓库被剥离，更多的优秀仓库面临着迫在眉睫的拆除，
我们租的绘画工作室被告知两年后拆除，要保护这几乎是不可能的梦想。
但是我心中依然存有一丝不灭的希望，于是开始了保护的历程。
However, what confronted our dream is the cruel reality:
This charming warehouse is being damaged and more wonderful warehouses face the possibility of being pulled down.
I was informed that the area where my studio is would be pulled down two years later, and protecting it seems a mission impossible.
But at the bottom of my heart, there still existed a little hope,
so I stepped on the way of protection.
2003年是特别难忘的一年，突如其来的非典，夏日高温，更重要的是莫干山路。
意识到等待无法催生奇迹的发生。
2003 seems the most unforgettable year to me, the unexpected SARS attack on China, the unusually hot summer, and the Moganshan road.
Waiting can do nothing to help us realize the emergence of miracles.
