I have been a fan [Austin Kleon's Newspaper Blackout Poetry](http://www.austinkleon.com/newspaper-blackout-poems/?ref=larrysalibra.com) since I came across them on Facebook. Last week, while walking by a newspaper stand in Guangzhou, I suddenly had the urge to give it a try myself with a Chinese newspaper.

You can see how it was made on my [Chinese blog](http://lizhaojing.com/2009/06/25/%e9%bb%91%e6%9a%97%e4%b8%ad%e7%9a%84%e8%af%97/?ref=larrysalibra.com) or, for those whose computers don't like Chinese characters, in [my photo gallery](http://photos.larrysalibra.com/gallery/8611904%5FNcsBn?ref=larrysalibra.com).

For those of you that can't read Chinese, the poem is called "With Family" and roughly translates as follows:

> "With family, work, a son, a wife, education, mutual encouragement and support in our lives, one can have confidence and hope."

The original article was from the [Nanfang Daily](http://www.nanfangdaily.com.cn/?ref=larrysalibra.com).
