The Reader

I watched The Reader this afternoon. At first, I was finding it difficult to understand, because it did not make any sense to me. Hanna was always angry with him on small things, often throwing her tantrum on him. Did she really love the kid? Why did she leave the kid?

Everything made sense - when the movie came to the middle. She was ashamed of her illiteracy and jealous on girls who can read and write. She could work very well by executing instructions. Without instructions, she felt that she could not work and don't know how to work.

The Kid - finally grew into a man. He was still the Kid who loved her and could not forgive her for leaving him of "no reason". He doubted on the reason of her being with him. He refused to visit her before she was charged. After years, he divorced. Suddenly, he started reading her stories by sending her the tapes. Why did he made the tapes for her after years?

I cried when he read and taped stories for her. Why did he do this to her?
He was told that she was going to be released soon after 20 years of jail. Finally he visited her. He questioned her on whether she had learned a lesson from what she did for Nazis. Why did he do this to her?

看了这套电影- 他为她念书是很浪漫的事。可是，这也是对她最残忍的报复。一个没有受教育的人，生活在不对的时代到底为她带来了什么冲击？一个文盲觉得自卑而想做出“伟大的事”究竟要用什么方法？遇见对的人，爱上了，又要怎样面对自己的过去呢？两个生活在不同时代的人要如何同一步伐？看到了他们-我只想到珍惜两个字。

Thoughts @ ICAAP

1) It was my 5th day at Bali. The conference was great. It gave me some times to think about the project that I am currently handling and some ideas on where the project should direct to and how to work on it. I couldn't have done that if I continue to stay at the office. Too much works and I was doing for the sake of finishing it. 2) I met an American lady at the conference when waiting bus at the drop-off place. Yeah, another American lady... She is lovely and talkative. She works at Hanoi, Vietnam and has been working there for more than 10 years. She told me a lot about her life, from internship at Fiji, studying at Uni Hawaii, working at Thailand, Switzerland, so on ...... and how she met her husband. She said a lady like her, who is so independent and mobilize, would not think of marriage or meeting a guy. Unexpected, she met her husband at Vietnam, who was working there too. The most wonderful part was that her husband came from the same area as she was. Just few years ago,...

July's sky - High Humidity

I was in a plane. I fall asleep. He was in my dream again. May be it is me who wants to meet him again. But, I know we will never go back. Traveled too often in July. Was alone to Bangkok. Sometimes, I cannot stand traveling alone. After many travels, I thought I should have get used to it. I supposed I have not changed - I'm still the girl who afraid of loneliness. I remember what he said: I'm not what I think I am. Perhaps, it is true. I traveled to Sabah for a training with new colleague and trainers. Seeing young faces, it makes me happy. Once again, they said I looked young. Many times, people have said this to me. At that time, I was not sure whether I'm still living with a heart as young as them. After back from India, I know I'm not. I am somehow, have turned into a selfish adult, a coward or an idiot. May be I know myself too perfectly, to hide my imperfectness behind these young eyes. Should I not admit this? In my memories, I still remember the girl who...

周王梦蝶，还是蝶梦周王

我的梦中有很多人，很多颜色，但只有一架升降梯。 我们在这升降梯的前面，都在等着。 等了许久，来了。 当升降梯的门打开后，却没有人愿意踏进去。每个人左顾右盼，我觉得很奇怪：为什么大家都不进去呢？我心里存有疑问，也不敢踏进去。 突然，一个人走进去。门关了，指示灯标示着19楼。哦，原来这里这么高！ 这时，大家开始议论。好勇敢啊，他们说。 我问他们：到底怎么一回事？他们说：谁先进去谁先死，然后我们才可以……仿佛是必须有人牺牲，大家才可以到达目的地。 到底他/她知道吗？ 话才刚说完，升降梯像断了线的风筝，从19楼往下坠。天啊，他不就摔死吗？我很着急。 这时，我在心里开始默念：不要掉下来不要死！！！！！一次比一次快，心一次比一次纠结。好像在和它赛跑。突然，周围的景色开始旋转，像物星转移。我置身在七彩颜色的漩涡中，煞是漂亮。 那一瞬间，一切停顿，然后恢复正常。 升降梯的门打开，那个人走出来。安全了，我想。 此刻，所有的人若无其事的走进升降梯，好像没发生任何事一般。 升降梯的梯绳没断，里面的那个人没从19楼掉下来。 我从梦中清醒了，得到了难于言寓的真理。 （坚持一件事，努力不懈的完成，而且坚信会成功，那过程将如七彩的颜色令人非常愉快）
