ALERT: US Flags on Golden Gate Bridge To Fly 9/11/02

" CELEBRATE: Life, Liberty & Beauty "

A MEMORIAL ARTWORK DEDICATED TO 9/11 VICTIMS

" The national flag is not only a symbol of a country, it truly represents a
choice of freedom, a choice of value, a choice of believing, I want to
celebrate life, liberty and beauty via this project. Life is full of wonderful."

Pop Zhao, the Guinness book of records holder, the longest artwork in the world, 10,000 meters
artwork "OLYMPIC DRAGON" created on June 23rd, 2001 on the Great Wall of China.

1. What: The earth art performance piece " CELEBRATE: Life, Liberty &
Beauty " will involve the unfurling of a 6.5 miles silk-screened canvas containing
5,000 United States flags (and, including those of many other nations) in what
will be the longest such work in the world.

2. Where: " CELEBRATE: Life, Liberty & Beauty " images will be held by
2,500 participants at the art piece's unveiling along the San Francisco coast line,
spanning the compelling international landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge.

3. When: Sunday, September 8, 2002

4. Why: After the tragedies of September 11th, a dark shadow has been over us.
Saddened by those events, our beliefs are unshaken. The many American flags,
displayed in many places, in so many styles, calling forth so many emotions
–these are the sources of my inspiration.

Each of the 5,000 flag panels will be numbered, certified, and signed by the
artist. Following the installation/performance of " CELEBRATE: Life, Liberty
& Beauty " individual two-meter flag panels will be presented to Bay area
civic leaders, California's legislators in Washington, leading sponsors, as
well as the diplomatic community, the United Nation, museums, the Fire and
Police Department of New York City, and the Fire and Police Department
of San Francisco.

Mr.& Mrs.Mary Jordan (CEO of NETA, Morrison, CO.) "I just wanted to let
you know how excited we are --my company as well as my family -- about
your "celebrate" project.

Right now, several months after 9/11, many of us seem to be on "overkill" mode
with red/white/blue and sickened by companies using patriotism to sell their
products. Celebrate!, however, is refreshingly different. I can not begin to
imagine the emotional impact of participating in this event -- being united with
2000 Americans - not to mention the thousands of observer/participants -
unfurling and waving our American flag along the grandeur of San Francisco's
California coast.

I'm proud to be American, and I'm proud to play even a very small part in this
magnificent project. Celebrate! is a welcome approach to pride and patriotism.
Thank you for having not only the foresight but also the talent and courage to
make this event happen. Please let me know how I can further assist." $400

Peter and Lucia Kanter: Since the time you told us about "Celebrate"project
along the California coast line, we have looked forward to its accomplishment,
We were astounded by your Olympic Dragon display along the Great Wall last
year,and realize how lucky San Francisco is to be the benefactor of your energy
and aesthetic ingenuity. We cheerfully support your "Celebrate" effort, and have
also enclosed a small donation towards one of the flags.

We also would like to thank you, Jian, for enriching our lives. Your artwork
exalts our spirits and frequently causes us to see something new and divine in
them, in the world, and even in ourselves. You have a resounding voice that is
not entirely your own -- it is part of a communal song composed of a menagerie
of people who share a common appreciation for absorbing the true dignity,
humility and beauty of the human experience.

Your "Celebrate" project is just one example of how your art reminds us of
simple lessons: to heal from grief, to flourish from human camaraderie, and to
create harmony from cacophony. We eagerly await your "Celebrate"
masterpiece. art collectors, san francisco. $250

Mrs. Jennifer Chen:" When I learned from you about the "Celebrate" project, a
memorial artwork dedicated to 9/11 victims, I felt very proud being a
Chinese-American who probably could play a small part in this magnificent
project. I am proud of you. "Celebrate!" will be a proven effective approach to
world peace and love. With the efforts and your talent and passion I am sure it
will be a very successful event." Sr. Vice President, AITech International,
