Jump

For long, we have been pretty much convienced there is something in the world that we would never abandon…
 
The little dog will not relinquish his bone;
The parents can't give their kids a free hand; and
We can never foget; can never give up; can never let him go...
 
This idea has been so inveterate that we ourselves have actually been tortured muchly.
 
When time flies, you look back. 
Amazingly that something you deem un-surrenderable, it was just a little tiny sand in your life...
Everything, sadness, agony and whatever their arisings are, everything is just a transition connecting you to a brighter future.
 
The most difficult time is not the twinkling when you jump, but the moment when you make such decision, being swayed by consideration of all gains and losses…
However after you make up your mind, eventually pass-it is just a naturally chain-reaction. 
You fulfill the transforming and you succeed in the end…
 
All those anguish we have are just the preparation for our tranformation.
Some day, some where, we will just achieve that...

Voice


For quite a long time, I don't like my voice at all.
It doesn't sound very feminine, nor is it melodious. 
I have been longing for a completely different one since I was a little girl...
 
However a while ago, I was watching a TV program when one of my admired women, Miss Yue-Sai Kan, participated in one discussion about Chinese gentalmen and the complete Chinese women. 
Other than that particular topic, she mentioned something about the way she talks. 
Yue-Sai said when she was young, one of her teachers told her to lower her voice when speaking, even to the extend that the lower the better, as it would be more conviencing and captivating. 
She also demonstrated, on site, to the television viewers several ways of using the voice, from the lowest to the highest, so as to justify the aforesaid theory. 
I was really shocked when she played with those different tunes. 
 
Actually Yue-Sai, together with her experience, I duly deem her the tag of such a successful, fashionable, sexy (in every espects), and financially-independent woman. 
That's probably why I'd admire what she says and the view she holds against other people.
Now I'm pretty proud that I absolutely have those type of voice that she would appreciate.
 
You would never know how much you were actually gifted...

Blessing for Liu Xiang

 

8/18, the country will always remember this date... 
a super lucky number under Chinese culture, but the whole nation was so depressed at our hero, LX's quiting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

His advertisement, his billboard is still everywhere; but LX himself left the stadium, left the whole nation's hope and horor behind him… 

I was so dismayed at first when I heard about this news. 
It was during the lunch time.
The mixture of the food smell and colleagues' vituperation and compassion was full of the canteen… as rowdy as everyday's cat-and-dog…

At that moment, not just the small square as our canteen...
The 1.3 billion people came with attention and hope, but left with disappointment and sadness...

However, who knows how much LX is handling on the way to today's staduim?
It's not only the priceless encouragement, but also the countless pressure, very oppressive.   

I have never admired him as much as I could feel today. 
I'm sure LX is absolutely a great athlete with powerful physique and strong mind. 
I almost felt his wishes to hold his breath and pain in order to finish the game,
but finally, I understand he is a human being after all. 

LX, he is still our hero who is worth everything when he wins,
But the hero deserves more than everything when he needs our support.

Dear LX, get better soon and keep up going!!!
We are all behind you...

One Night in Beijing

Last Wednesday, I spent one night in Beijing. 
 
To me, Beijing is such an interesting place.  So close and in the mean time so far away. Look backwards, such episode of my life when I was in Beijing, would probably be the most leisured time in my life.   Although I didn't realize until now… My brain was so small at that time that it was occupied by so much dissatisfaction and cynicism.
 
I have many reasons to hate Beijing. E.g. the air is so polluted; the streets are so full of traffic; the people are so arrogant; etc… however on the other hand, Beijing is so attractive in terms of its far and distant sky; its cold in manner; its typical Beijingized architecture; its inherited fascination of an imperial city for hundreds of years.    
 
Maybe due to the fact that I see Beijing off after my graduation all of a sudden, in my real sense, it seems that I have never "officially" left Beijing.  It's still so familiar and so friendly that it almost becomes my second home town. 
 
The other night, I met with a couple of friends from the law school.  We talked a lot about people from the old times.  How did they look like at that time... How are they doing right now… Lots of drinks; lots of smoke; lots of mirth; sort of sadness behind our cheers.  Such complexity - a mixture of annoy and excitement - was not prepared for someone or something in particular.  It was the general mourn for the past time.  The time that could never be replayed; the time that would never be forgotten. No matter whether you used to be a young cynic or a merit student, the bloom of youth shall be appreciated, cherished, and framed deep in the heart…
 
In the prime of our lives, we once laughed and cried…

Cross Stitch ("CS")

 
Starting from the year before, I developed such hobby under the leadership of one of my close friends.  I admired her nice works so much that I decided to start my own journey. 
Although CS is widely known since I was very young, I have never thought about working on that by myself. 
I kind of view this as a time-wasting activity…

However when finally coming across the finished good works by others, the temptation to start my own is just irresistable! 
Also, I believe CS will be very good chances to build up my patience. (I have to admit that I'm that kind of person so easy to loose patience!)
 
Now I have a couple of my own pieces of art of which I'm very proud.  Below are some samples for your eyes. They are the 4-season picture that I plan to hang on the wall in beautiful frames at my place.  I'm 200% sure that they will be fabulous!

Tomb Sweeping Day

Today is Tomb Sweep Day.  A day for memory… a day for blessing…

 

Our family doesn’t have such tradition, which releases us from the crowds heading for the tomb every year.  

In order to cherish the memory of the past, we look upon dear ones around... 

 

There’s an old Chinese saying, “the tree wish to stay motionless, however, the wind doesn’t want to stop; the descendants wish to take good care of their beloved aged; however, they have passed away”…. (My translation is so plain that the profound meaning can’t be reflected literally)

This is often used to educate people to treasure the family members in front of them and don’t wait until the day that nothing could make it up….

I regard it as more and more meaningful in pace of my growing up.

 

The person I think of most is actually my grandpa.  We lived together when I was brought up but he left us at around 15 years ago.  At that time, I was just a schoolgirl with so little knowledge and understanding of the life, of the world around... 

It was strange that at his memorial meeting, I didn’t feel that much sadness.  But latter on, I can never forget what he taught me, how kind he is towards me and how much he holds dear of me. More importantly, I start to understand him… his hopes and his loses; his joyce and his annoyance…

 

On this special day, I wrote this short paragraph, to remember… also to escape…

Finally I have to say that condolence is not just ceremony; instead it means cherish the people around…

在星光大道喝露天咖啡 vs 在解放碑前啃玉米棒子

 

这是之前的一周,我的两次差旅当时我对题中的两个景象,充满了一种莫名的满足享受在陌生的城市,陌生的夜晚,陌生的人群中独处

 

这是一种安静的兴奋,就像低调的奢华一样,不露声色却分外动人

 

再难啃的寂寞仿佛都化作了棉花糖,柔柔软软的,在我的胃里温暖得不得了寂寞是一条狗,你越想躲开它,它越是跟着你...

 

只是可惜,当时因为本小姐的一时贪念与惰意,在草草写下了这个标题之后,无法拒绝《underworld: evolution》在HBO的召唤,一股脑儿投入了吸血鬼和狼人千年不解的纷争

 

今天我在丽江,在这个美丽、喧闹而复杂的小镇边上的酒店里,却有一种不大一样的情绪,以至于我对星光大道和解放碑的记忆开始变得模糊了今晚很热闹,今晚也很低潮这是工作的一部分,有的勉强得为人作嫁衣裳,也有点清高得拒绝干杯和酒精

夜更深,而露水更浓。
昼愈趋短。
夜行勿忘添衣。

不能说的秘密

Follow the notes upon the journey…
The first sight makes one's destiny…
 
周董的《不能说的秘密》…
 
老早就觉得Jay是个特别有才华的人。
他的音乐,他的电影;他的故事,他的爱情…
折射出一个丰富、勇敢的心…
丰富背后的寂寞...勇敢背后的隐伤…
 
《不能说的秘密》其实是一个特别简单关于穿越时空的爱情故事
神秘而跳跃的音符是打开时空之门的钥匙...小雨穿越了20年的浪漫,来到了小伦的身边,从第一眼的缘份天注定,到一场不经意的误会,再到《怪物史莱克》般灿烂的结局...影片的发展一气呵成!
戏中...我爱上了她的天真和勇敢...我爱上了他的自信和执着…
戏外,我也很佩服周董编故事、讲故事的能力...一度很担心这会是个很老套的闹剧,或者一个俗不可耐的青春片
结果却完全出人意料...情节中清新自然又悬念重重...细节处细细入扣却不动声色...让人不得不赞叹周董的匠心独具!
 
你还没有看过《不能说的秘密》吗?或者你已经忘记了爱的奇妙,还是你仍然沉浸在爱的青涩与甜蜜中?
都不要忘记去看看《不能说的秘密》...然后来告诉我这个不能说的秘密...

司法考试

 
有多少人和我一样还在这个战场上多坚持了小下?
 
结论是:
 
1)不一定能过;
2)我更热爱学习了,尤其要感谢包括小王子在内的万国名师们!从今天开始混他们的博,哈哈~
3)我更热爱我的工作了,尽管依旧巧人反为拙人奴!
4)我都忘记我的space的底色是蓝色的了,需要多来来~

暗恋.桃花源

承朋友之情,四月有幸一睹《暗恋.桃花源》。
 
其实是两部戏,导演巧妙地把它们结合在一个舞台上。暗恋和桃花源两个剧组,因为争抢排演场地,在同一个舞台上轮换着风姿。戏里戏外的穿插,把两个无论是时空上,还是情绪定位上都完全没有关联故事,在一个晚上嫣然绽放。
 
看到了何炯和谢娜的演出,发现他们也并全然徒有虚名。无厘头的背后,还是看到了笑中带泪的尴尬。
生活的琐碎粗燥磨灭了爱情的激烈幻想;桃花源华丽转身的瞬间,你有否看到仙境的美?
连籁导本人都说,这波人马,演出了他心里桃花源的味道----这可不是一般的评价!
 
与之相比,暗恋倒显得有点黯淡了。
最老套,也应该是最揪心的故事情节。
江滨柳和云知凡在战火纷飞的大上海,相识相恋。
因为时局的不确定,因为命运的错肩,两个人无法相守一生的誓盟。
镜头一转,50年后的台湾,江滨柳的病榻前。
云看到江登载寻找自己的启事而来,他们再次相逢。
有一句歌词,“是命运的安排也好,是前世的姻缘也好”,有点应景。
原来在过去的几十年的岁月里,他们都在同一个地方生活着。怀着对彼此的眷念,生活在别处。各自结婚生子,平静又不平静。
 
照理说,像这样,有关爱情的忠贞和不能如愿的遗憾,有关命运的安排和嘲弄,是很可以打动人的。但是不知为什么,当晚的演出感觉并不到位。
从技术角度来讲,虽说两位演员,黄磊和袁泉,本身的形象非常感性,并且带着一丝远离世俗的高贵气质,应该很适合如此文艺的表达。
可惜的是在舞台上,青年的江滨柳和云知凡,过分天真;而老年的戏份,无论是肢体,还是声音的控制,都显得有些做作;
从情感上来讲,我们所见所闻,已让我们对这样的痴缠,有些“审美疲劳”了;
是本能的怀疑抗拒,还是暗恋还不能抵达内心柔软的净土?

涅磐ing ---- 小妹小美

 
冬就最深刻的体会是它的原始和荒芜。没有矫饰的柔情,也没有刻意的标志。
冬就的苗家人,生性之爽朗,也与这里土地的气质十分吻合。
我在冬就遇到一个小女孩,约莫七八岁的样子,她的名字叫小美。

和她所有年幼的玩伴一起,小美不知何时加入了我们的队伍。
孩子们的活泼和轻巧,很快使我们充满活力。
 
在小导游的撺掇下,我们一行人将去探索一个不知名字的山洞,姑且就叫它未名洞吧。
未名洞在寨子的后面,需要翻过几个小山头。
沿途葱郁的风景,让人可以忘记一切尘俗。
 
小美拉着我的手,穿梭在田野之间。
我们在未名洞口照了相,蹭到了一身泥巴。小美带着我转了几个转弯,来到一条山泉边上。
泉水冰冽、清凉,顿时赶走了疲惫。当我还在享受着这一刻的沁润之时,小美已经开始催促我离开。
 
她再次拉起我的手,飞也似的翻山越岭,我突然奇怪自己何缘充满了力量。
一个气喘吁吁的我,突然蜕变成为了一个轻盈的、动感十足的我。
身体里所有盲目、奔放的血液开始散漫地流淌…
 
不一会儿,就回到了寨子里。
吃过了苗家饭,就到该告别的时候了。
依依不舍,或者兴高采烈地满载而归...
有人开始留下苗家小孩的联络地址。有点徒劳无功的可笑么?
我们需要的也许不是牵强的联系
我应该只记住小美此刻的愉悦,而没有往后岁月里的那些不堪
小美也只需记得我此刻的微笑,或者干脆忘记
忘记是我们彼此记忆的另一种方式
