wanted to watch this months ago but havent got the time to download the torrent, so i chanced upon it while tv-hopping. was feeling really unwell as im down with flucoughandeverythingnasty.
enough said, earthquake-people died-cries&screams-the end.
nope, it's not. instead, it actually shows how the surviors carried on with their life. what happened to the handicaps? what happened to the widow? what happened to people who lost their only kin? oh well, life still goes on.
basically, it's about this mother(refer to above picture) losing her husband and her daughter(assumed) in this tangshan earthquake. she was faced with the toughest decision in her life that ignites her everlasting sorrow and eternal pain.
both her son&daughter was trapped under a concrete slab, considering the support she got during 1976, she has no choice but to choose between saving her son or daughter.
she did insist she wanted both but under the pressure of the workers, she made up her mind and chose the son.
and her son lost his arm in this earthquake.
(so, her daughter survived but she had no idea)
and so the story goes on...
anyway, i found it really touching.
son: mom, why not you find a man and get yourself a company?
mom: not that i lack of suitors, i just refused to.
son: why? you cant possibly stay a widow forever right?
mom: i'd have died if your dad hadn't pushed me away from the falling building. for a man who gave up his life for me, it's fair and rightful for me to only have him in my heart and no one else.
):
and her daughter beared hatred because she overheard her mom's decision under the slab. it's only after much of a coincidence that she met her brother and decided to visit her mom.
the part where they digged out the grave(supposingly for the daughter) and found textbooks for every semester.
son: every start of the semester, mom bought your set of textbooks too.
daughter: squat down and started crying
mom: what happened?
daughter: i hate myself for having the selfish thought! i should feel happy that my brother is alive instead of blaming you for not saving me. he's my brother too.
there are more classic lines that i teared on but these are the few that i can still remember. it sounds better in chinese because they said with their infamous accent. HEH.
anyway, i know it's a long and boring post. thank you if you are with me even till this last fullstop.
alright, this picture was(claimed by joy) very atas and very 'feeling'. with due respect, my title is for this particular picture taken by her! HAHAHA! shall name this, "walk with me, fall with grace"
ahh... she wasn't posing, i believe i took this while she was browsing through her twitter's timeline.
BIG GULP!! (: (: OEI, I SAY LOOK AT BIG GULP! don't look at joy!
(whisper) seriously...(look around).... i think this book is mentally fucking joy to the extent that she's starting to be cranky and siao siao. HAHAHA! (joke)
my groin looks very weird like this. and my facial expression is like fucked up. but joy looks so cute here! not poise but cute. heh
