Do you admire Leonardo da Vinci of renaissance Italy? If yes, you may be astonished at why several hundred years ago he could not only become a great artist but also invented many things in science. Here is the story of a modern man who was inspired by the spirit of da Vinci in his creativities both in art and sciences.
Johnson Gao (used name: Kuixiong Gao, that had been listed in the "American Men and Women of Science" for many years) is a multi-talented “renaissance” man. He is a scientist (with many research articles and scientific books published) as well as an artist (with variety of art pieces published).
The current music piece was entitled as “Beijing Olympic Welcome You!” It was composed electronically with the help of a computer. It is expected to be used to welcome athletes and audiences who will attend the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He absorbed some notes from a Chinese folk song - the "Golden Snake Crazy Dance" by Nie Er to increase the Chinese flavor of that song. Two versions of the music are included in the disc. The first one starts with Honky-Tonk piano to describe the peaceful people and place of Beijing. Then, it is followed with multi-voices of different instruments like violin, steel drum, xylophone, bag pipe, piano and pseudo human voice and a cannon song to raise the warm air of welcome. The second version is a symphony without cannon voices but it was enhanced with bag-pipes at the last part of the song. That music can also be used for other occasions to welcome friends or for skating or dancing.
The covers of the case box used the images of a green dragon (made up with life plants) in the front and a giant statue of a horse at the back. Those two images symbolize the "Long Ma Jing Shen" (the spirit of dragon and horse i.e. brave and strong). Those arts were taken from his art gallery. A Chinese version of lyrics is printed on the tray sheet of the case-box.
More information of the composer are as follows:
As an artist, he owns the "Gao Gao Gallery", which has more than one hundred pieces of paintings and photos contributed by himself and his two sons, which is searchable at https://www.tradebit.com and https://www.tradebit.com. He is also a professional micro-photographer and he produced the world’s first pseudo-color electron microphotograph in 1983 with his colleagues, which can show 70 Å lipoprotein molecules at a magnification at x100,000 (a magnification that can enlarge a rapeseed to the size of a stadium). One of his microphotographs had won the immunohistochemistry photo contest in 1996 hold by Sigma Chemical Company. Another pseudo-color image processed photo was selected as a cover of JMSA journal.
Johnson Gao likes music and he can play the Chinese violin (Er Hu). He had self-instructed the music composition through a book edited by Prof. Ding Shan-de when he was at the college. He had practiced to compose several songs. Among them one was a children''s song called "For Mammy" (https://www.tradebit.com and another song he published was called "To Valentines of All Ages - Love Forever" (https://www.tradebit.com
You may also want to know about the composer’s scientific achievements. They are abstracted as followings. His research articles and books covered broad areas of investigation including exploration of aging, immunotherapy of cancer, embryonic lens induction, mechanism of herbal contraceptives, membrane biogenesis, molecular distribution of neuro-muscular junction, nano-gold drug delivery system, growth factors in relation to embryonic development, etc.
When he was an experimental embryologist, he created many three-eyed animals in 1960. As a microscopist and micro photographer, he invented the silanated water-soluble amino plastic for electron microscopy to observe lipid-protein molecules in membrane bio-genesis. He also invented a unique polyethylene glycol section method - a breakthrough against the century-old paraffin section method. He is the editor of the book: “Polyethylene Glycol as an Embedment for Microscopy and Histochemistry” (edited by Kuixiong Gao and published by CRC Press in 1993; the book is listed at https://www.tradebit.com). PEG section method improves the quality of immuno-histochemistry, and it is a better way for the environmental protection, since toxic solvents could be avoided in his procedures. He invented the solid-core liposome for drug delivery in 1985. He had developed a complicated procedure using epipolarization microscopy and immunogold silver staining method for detection of enzymes in liver that may related to the advanced study of diabetes at sub-cellular level.
During the last six years of 20 century, he was attracted by a difficult problem in economy, i.e. if the stock price is predictable? After painstaking research he finally invented the Gao’s Equation (alternatively known as the Midas Equation) in 2000, i.e. $n+x = n$d + $x + n$v ($n+x denotes the stock price under prediction at the time unit x, which could be the next week, or, the next day, or, even the next hour, etc.) That equation is based on the dynamic balance theory of moving average. His unique book: “Prediction of Stock with Gao’s Equation” can be found at https://www.tradebit.com or, through search the https://www.tradebit.com. That equation had been evaluated by himself to be the most important contribution by him at the turning of the century. Gao’s Equation looks as simple as the Einstein’s energy equation E = MC^2 in Physics, but, it might be a “gold key” to open a treasury and could be very important to investors.
If you like de Vinci, and you want to know how people can make efforts and contributions in many things, you may like to see and hear the art and music produced by Johnson Gao - a follower of de Vinci.
