We give a simple proof of an extension of the existence results of Ricci flow of G.Giesen and P.M.Topping [GiT1],[GiT2], on incomplete surfaces with bounded above Gauss curvature without using the difficult Shi's existence theorem of Ricci flow on complete non-compact surfaces and the pseudolocality theorem of G.Perelman [P1] on Ricci flow. We will also give a simple proof of a special case of the existence theorem of P.M.Topping [T] without using the existence theorem of W.X.Shi [S1].
