In this colorful picture, I can clearly saw the earth is just a flat land in the space. The land is riotous with color that reveals mountains, grassland and lakes. All of the views are overspread with the beautiful sky and atmospheres. It is like half circle hood witch made of cloud covering the real earth. On the other side, the earth was like a big root-out land. There is nothing on this side, no water, no sky or other living beings. It shows the earth is just flat and we could only live in the opposite side. There also exis other planets in the space. All of them set the earth off with shining bodies. The right corner planet is the nearest one to the earth that is round but very small. It can also set out that the earth is flat.

It’s a fascinating picture that shows flat earth. The picture is looked like a colorful page of fairy tales that allows the sun, the moon and the stars appeared at the same time. All of them are covered inside the earth. The sun‘s face is in smiling and looking at a lady who is protruding her head out of the earth. She is observing the outside world carefully and attracted by what she noticed. Behind the lady is the view of the earth witch we lived in. Its shows a normal sign, beautiful sky、fertile farm and some little villages. Especially a big tree witch tower to the sky! All of them are novel but not as strange as the world outside. There is no space or planet around the earth but another fairy story’s world. Maybe it’s the heaven with pink cloud and four-in-hand coach. The girl looked like look forward to go to that place.

3. Do you think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today?

The human beings are not always on a correct stand. For example, depending on human's eyes, the size of the sun is just looked like a plate or basketball. Actually, the being of human is against with the reality. The sun is much more bigger than a plate even if the earth.That's why I realize they have a false concept of the earth today.Also, if the earth is real flat how could the time different among the regions or countries. When I stayed in Canada, I made a phone call to my parents in the night. But at the other side of the phone, my parents were working because the time was just the afternoon in China. How could the sun and the moon appeared at the same time on the sky if the earth is flat?
