A book written in 1900

Green summer

summer here, green everywhere.
 
cycling on the countryside, warm sunshine, blue sky, yellow rapeseed flowers, gentle breeze, green grassland, green, green, green...
running on the grass tennis court, soft touch, air balloon floating over, red sun setting on the north, white moon rising on the south, green willows, green trimmed grass, green, green, green...
walking along the private path after a rain, pebbles, black oak beam house, flowers looking down from the trees, flowers hidden in the bushes... air, is full of scent of something. mysterious.  
 
i love, this to last entire summer.

 

p.s. this is a photo from a gallery of Michael Barker: http://www.pbase.com/embee66/england

i found several nice photo galleries of south England there:

I miss home so much

so much.

Great wall, forever.

Forbidden city, and Heaven Temple.

Summer Palace, and The Garden of Perfection and Light.

Peking University, my department.

Hutong, warm homes there.

The story of Dog Ignore It dumpling, and Beijing duck.

People, street artist making sugar dragon, and Beijing old style "taxi driver".

20 mars

The duck brothers are back ... & dog show!

The duck brothers used to stay at the pond in front of college are back!
I am so happy to see them again today. *_^

...

And, after a few months, here i upload the photos of Crufts dog show 2006, the best dog show of the world! :D They have this show yearly at Birmingham around March, it has lasted four years, and this is my 2nd time there. This year there were about 20,000 dogs attending, and they were from all of the world. I wish i can go every year. ;p

Let's go! Wow, so many people and advertisements. En, have you ever heard of Dog newspaper?

waiting for competition, tired.

competition ongoing, nervous.

At the same time, gentledogs are showing how to be a good citizen in Good citizen scheme, and dog therapiest are showing how to accompany and help people. There are also life savers and certainly, police dogs are giving other fabulous performance. They are our friends indeed.

Kids and dogs, angels.

There are totally 6 Chinese breeds in this show, here I got photos of 4 breeds out of them, and they are: chouchou, chiwawa, pekingese, and hairless. The last two pictures are both hairless... yi, not right? you must say so, why one of them does have hair? Yes, that is something unusual, every time their mum gives birth, there are always some puppies have hairs while others do not. Ha, don't ask me why, I don't know. It's the dog owner told me so! Look, don't you think Chouchou is smiling? :)

Dog, and the human loves him.

Er--- i have to name this Mexican hairless, he is the most not pretty dog i nominate. sorry, he is lovely though. he doesn't have hair all of his body, but his forehead!

Dogs are not only giving shows but also watching shows. And, they also make friends there and take a group photo to remember each other - See you next year, old buddy! :D

A weekend of the 1960's

indulged into that beautiful tragedy, 
watched "enigma" and "a beautiful mind", again,
still looking for movie "sylvia".
 
oh, the 1960's, when the red China was full of red and green (you know).
- "hey you, go to the the head of the ""chick", and you, go to the back of the "chick"!"
- Long life Chairman mao!
oh, the 1960's. 
 
i am living in a flat built during the 1960's: every morning  i drink the water comes out from the tap connected on the 1960's, every night i turn on the light wired on the 1960s and flash the water tank build on the 1960's.
 
oh, the 1960's, Beatlemania spreaded, Apollo landed on moon.
oh oh, the hot mini shorts mini skirts, the hippies had extra pocahontas headbands while walked on thei bare feet.
oh, the 1960's.
 
oh, the 1960's, cold war, vietnam war, culture revolution.
oh oh, beauty and spy, romance and politics.  
oh, the 1960's.
 
(no juice left today so i am having a beer now instead.)
 
aha, Ryan Adams shared my obsession (how old is he?): "maybe she'd take me to France, Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance..."

 
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
Busted tooth and a smile
And cigarette ashes in her drink
The kind that goes out and then sleeps for a week
The kind that goes out on her
To give me a reason, for well, I dunno

And maybe she'd take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She'd ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath

And she and I would sleep on a boat
And swim in the sea without clothes
With rain falling fast on the sea
While she was swimming away, she'd be winking at me
Telling me it would all be okay
Out on the horizon and fading away
And I'd swim to the boat and I'd laugh
I gotta get me a Sylvia Plath

And maybe she'd take me to France
Or maybe to Spain and she'd ask me to dance
In a mansion on the top of a hill
She'd ash on the carpets
And slip me a pill
Then she'd get pretty loaded on gin
And maybe she'd give me a bath
How I wish I had a Sylvia Plath
I wish I had a Sylvia Plath

The bee god, the bell jar... and Shura

Sylvia Plath loved her daddy: "Daddy, i have had to kill you, you died before i have time."
In Ted Hughes's eyes, Sylvia's father is her bee god while his role is: "You were the jailer of your murderer -- Which imprisoned you. And since I was your nurse and your protector, Your sentence was mine too."
 
Sylvia claimed she had nine lives, same as a cat. She lost her first life when she nearly died in an accident  at 10 years old; she lost her 2nd one when she failed to suicide at 20 years old; yes, it went back every 10 years, she lost her 3rd life when she killed herself on 1963, that year she just started her 30s.
 
 
Why always bees? She met him at cambridge on 1956 and they got married. She told her friend of their plans "to have five children, to write, to cook, to be part of a rural community, and to shun publicity..." She believed that Ted was committed to this plan, and the discovery that he was having an affair with a woman who was married to another poet destroyed her - Assia Wevill... on april 23 1963, she went to her chindrens' room and opened window, and left enough milk and food for them, then she went down to the kitch, locked the door, and turned on the gas... never mind, Sylvia knew every dead kid has a jar as an accompany, s/he can hug it while sleeping deep inside the cold tomb.
 
Ted Hughes published his 88 poems dedicated to Sylvia on 1998 before he died from cancer. People say "Birthday Letters" is such a touching book.
 
A tragedy, isn't it? not enough. On 1969, Assia Wevill killed herself. By that time she became same depressed as Sylvia was, she was aged, she gained weight, she got blamed by people for Sylvia's death but Ted never married her. She worried Ted would leave her any time (Ted was planning to marry another woman, and he did after her death). She killed herself in exact same way as Sylvia did, the only difference was - she took her 4 years old daugher Shura with her.
 
Poor Shura, the poor little thing, i can't stop thinking about her.

"There are many biographies of Ted and Sylvia, but barely a mention of the life and death of Shura. She was a child who was conceived in a doom-laden relationship, lived a life of confusion, with a deeply depressed mother, and died what must have been a terrible death. The more one learns of these events, the more the whole thing assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy."

Poor Shura, the poor little thing, i can't sto thinking about her.

So cold

It was so cold in office..... it was windy outside but it seems the temperature inside dropped accordingly too... The entire office building surface is by glass, well, the building looks really nice though, you can see every office of both floors through the window - ha, a transparent building!

so, if it is getting colder, i.e. like in a Finland winter... will the entire building all become a huge ice sculpture?

我有七只无聊的小猫 by 木耳

我有七只无聊的小猫。一只在沙发上练爪子。一只挂在窗帘上随风飘舞。一只在窗台上坐 禅。两只在争夺一个灰白色的绒毛老鼠玩具。一只在仔仔细细地刷牙齿。

第七只很忧伤,他一个人在角落里读报纸。

我有七只无聊的小猫。三只外向,把屋子当作游乐场,三只内向,她们交头接耳,窃窃私语。

还有一只不外向也不内向,他端坐在沙发上,听着莫扎特,默默地读他的报纸。

我有七只无聊的小猫。小一、小二喜欢猫粮;小三喜欢鱼肉拌饭;小四、小五对猫罐头情有独钟;小六爱美,要保持体形,她每顿饭只吃水果。

小七有什么吃什么,不吃的时候,他喝着茶,读他的报纸。

我有七只无聊的小猫。三只小男猫都爱上了雪白雪白的小六,天天争风吃醋。小六孤傲得要命,她对他们不屑一顾。还有两只玳瑁色的小女猫很嫉妒,她们有时抓狂,有时痛哭。

我的小七,他对此视若无睹。他发出叹息,看着这期报纸上的爱情故事。

我有七只无聊的小猫。最后三只送人,两只死掉。小六一直在我身边,变得懒散,依旧美艳。她在沙发上看电视,时时瞄一眼身边沉默的小七。

小七一眼也不看她。我可怜的小瞎猫,他于这生活中的美好和无聊什么也看不到。他睁大眼睛,捧着黑白分明的报纸。

风又入松

had a bath, and feel awake now, 19:04pm.

stayed at bed whole day, read the story of 纳兰性德, played the new found games, listened to the music.

sink myself into the water deeply, i can hear my breath clearly.

the bath therapy is made from lemon grass, but it always smells pine tree, to me.

pine tree, pine forest.

the window is opened, the wind sings outside... wind, pine forest, wind crossing pine forest.

and inside, the candles are crying with the wind.

清泪尽,纸灰起.

 

人在淮边,人在淮边

彤云久绝飞琼宇,人在淮边,人在淮边, 今夜玉清眠不眠?
香销被冷残灯灭,静数秋天,静数秋天,又误心期到下弦。
 
Thank Yuan'er.

All wired dreams

It has lasted continuous 3 days, every night, i had wired dreams.
I will re-write these in Chinese when I have time.
 
Night 1
the giant cat walked slowly toward table, where I was oil painting, and asked me: may i borrow your eye drop? I passed him the eye drop, he sighed: i am becoming old...
at the same time, 金城武 was painting at the corner of our messy room, he looked serious while i was a bit sleepy. suddenly, we heard the alarm and bomb sound coming closer! he pushed me into the tiny basement where i could hide my body under a solid concrete... i was thinking, oh no, my cat... it was too late, i heard people rushed into our house and brang 金城武 and my cat away, i cried ...
 
(The giant cat must comes from the image of that famous giant rabbit, and even cleverer, he walks by two feet. But, was that actually me rather than my cat saying: i am becoming old?)
 
我家的多年以前养过很多年的那只老黄猫突然变成了那个大兔子那么大(就是跟咱们人一样高),慢慢悠悠走(两条腿)到我面前问:“能把眼药水儿借我用用吗?”我递给它,它坐在桌子前面,一边儿揉眼睛,一边儿叹气:真的老了,眼睛不好使了。。。“
我坐在窗户底下那儿画油画,屋子里很昏暗,是个废弃的仓库。金城武在屋子里的另外一个角落画油画,他总是那么沉默。突然空袭警报响了,正在外面巨大的爆炸声和人们惊恐的叫声吓的我不知所措的时候,金城武已经拉住了我的手,把我塞到了屋角儿的通向地下室的洞里。那是一个不深的只有十几阶台阶儿的地方,走到头儿是死路,我只能把身体使劲儿向角落里挤,这样可以留着地儿给金城武藏身。正在这时,我听见一获人儿闯了进来,他们带走了金城武和老黄猫。我又害怕又难过,可是不敢出声儿,只在冰冷的水泥缝隙间哭泣。

注明:那仓库和”如果爱“里的差不多,空袭警报的声音和”紫蝴蝶“差不多。老黄猫的形像和那只巨型兔子差不多,藏在地道里的感觉和TOM CRUISE演的那个外星人入侵地球的电影差不多。  
 
Night 2
i was pregnant, busy with preparing for the new coming baby. that was Song dynasty, i lived happily with my family in a small village in south China. However, 天有不测风云 
my husband got arrested by a mistake, and they even sentenced him 14 years in prison. i went everywhere to ask for a fair justice, but i didn't even get a single feedback... life was hard.
 
(Is this similar to the job application process?)
 
Night 3
In Peking university, i was an active and exciting fresher. i joined a religion and politics related club, and my favourite club of Beijing opera.
scene 1: I was in action, some of my friends from that religion and politics related club were operating some secret facility on a flight. i was waiting in a Beijing Hutong for their news. If they don't send me a message by 12am, it means they fail and get arrested. I was really nervous, but had to pretend to be calm and nonchalent while people passing by, i kept checking my watch (it seems that was also the device to receive messages from my friends.) In order to release this tension a bit, I suggested to the classmate girl besides of me: how about let's have korean cold noodle for lunch? ... 
 
(I guess the action part is related to the recent cartoon event. I am sure that Beijing Hutong is where I used to live when I was a kid, even the Korean noodle restanrant is true, and that was my favourite when I was a kid.)
 
scene 2: besides the beautiful lake, my and other girls of Beijing opera club were practising. The lotus were blooming, we stepped into the water and played with the flowers, and each other. That was sunset time, everything was covered by red mist, very very beauttiful.
(Isn't this the scene of "Farewell, my concubine"?)

Jesus and the weather

"I don't think Jesus, who is Our Lord, would have liked the weather in Limerick, because it is always raining, and the Shannon keeps the whole city dump. My father says the Shannon is a killer river, because it killed my two brothers.
 
When you look at the pictures of jesus, he is always wondering around ancient Isarel in a sheet. It never rains there, and you will never hear of anyone coughing, or getting the consumption, or anything like that. And no one has a job there, because all they do is stand around, eat manna, shake their fists, and go to crucifixtions.
 
Any time Jesus got hungry, all he had to do was walk up to the road,  to a fig tree or orange tree, and had his fill.
Or if he wanted a pint, he could wave his hand over a big glass, and there was the pint.
Or he could visit Mary Magdalane or his sister Martha, they would given him his dinner, no questions asked.
 
So it's a good thing Jesus decided to be born Jewish, in that nice warm place. Because if he was born in Limerick, he'd caught a consumption, and be died in one month,  and there wouldn't be any Cathelic church, and we wouldn't have to write composition about him. "
 
- Frank McCourt ("Angela's Ashes")

The feeling of being drunk

is everything becomes slower: the music becomes slower, the movement becomes slower, the time becomes slower.
but seeing everything more clearly, including myself, as if i was that light above this table.
