Its Hairy!

Well Well since we have not been able to update our chineese-week as we said we would (bad feeling here!) we had to post something really awesome this time.

GU was born in Shanghai, China in 1955.

- In 1981 he received his M.F.A. from China Academy of Arts where he studied under the classical
