翔之舞

Sometimes, the windy past creeps inward,

 Every now and then, treatments abound;

  Let peace quench perplexing anxiety,

   Enabling mind to seek a golden key:

    Could a finite being remember infinite thing?

     That is impossibly possible.

      This assists in conceiving a magic idea—

       Venting the brewed reminiscence, by

        Evaporating over-burdensome dews…

      As always, marching forward steadfastly,

     May the undesirable vanish on wings,

    Never, never find its way home…

   Embrace the grandeur of emancipation,

  Set foot on a brand new journey…

 It’s a worthwhile decision to make,

As long as the maker lives in contentment.

恋上海，怀念那片一望无际的蓝……

让海踱步于心，沉醉……欣欣然，借风之翼攀嶙峋岩峰，让冥想飘扬在灯塔之南。

海深邃的思想在月光女神的柔纱中渐渐舒展开来，轻抚着古老海岩历经沧桑的容颜。如果说每一滴水珠都历经了一段启人心智的故事，那么那一片汪洋定潇洒得挥写出了一篇宏伟的史诗！

任狂沙，漫卷残云，海却仍不失王者风范—波涛澎湃的表象下沉寂的是朴实豁达的胸襟……

梦里听涛声阵阵—海之音，心上弦。

一部经典的电影犹如杯中酒，历经的时光越久，味儿就越香醇。品酒，实则是品人生。

关于卓别林的故事以前听过许多，但是百闻不如一见。当看见他在《摩登时代》中精湛的表演后，隐藏在内心深处的心弦被悄然拨动。它的黑白银幕犹如一面明镜，看它，实则是在看我们自己，看这个踏着飞轮狂奔的世界……他的滑稽表演让我惊叹不同的时代竟有着如此相似的故事，每一次的捧腹大笑都会刺痛我敏感的神经。其实我们仍处于“摩登时代”中，很久的未来也仍会如此……

社会前进的脚步几乎从未为因为战争，饥饿和贫穷的阻挠而停息过。我们曾为蒸汽机的诞生高声喝彩，曾为福特汽车的流水线而惊喜，曾为电脑的问世而痴狂。在这一次又一次大提速的光环之下，似乎人们的幸福指数并没有大幅度增长，甚至在一些情况下有成反比的势头。

电影中的流浪汉看似一无所有，穷困潦倒的他成为了工业化进程中的牺牲品。当他的精神受到扭曲做出疯狂之举时，博来的是阵阵嘲笑，而其人性的光辉却在一次次的窘迫境遇中闪耀。他的正义感让他在不经意间成为警察心中的英雄；他的富怜悯心驱使他为保护孤女而甘当替罪羊。曾经的他也曾满足于衣食无忧的狱中生活，而当他和失去父亲和兄妹的孤女相识时，他对生活的理解又加深了一步。“家”成为了他们心中最为美好的字眼，成为了他们在社会底层挣扎和奋斗的共同目标。当孤女找寻到一处破烂至极被人遗弃的小屋时，她欢欣地称之为家。“这并非是白金汉宫”，孤女有些紧张地解释到。当他们因为这份幸运而快乐地相拥时，再富丽堂皇的宫殿也会黯然失色……即便再华丽的装潢又怎能买来这份淳朴的快乐呢？他们最终靠着自己的勤劳双手，创造了属于自己的幸福生活。她的温暖慰藉，倾心鼓励让他一展歌喉，博得大众的喜爱。当警方介入，企图带走孤女时，他们又那么义无反顾地选择了一同走在羊肠小道上开始新的旅程。

前方的路途艰险吗？答案是肯定的。

未来之路遥远吗？这也是一定的。

他们会幸福吗？我在大家的掌声中找到了答案。

上周读了一位美国学者眼中的中国，他为以上海为代表的拜金主义而感叹惋惜。其实无论是旧金山还是巴拉瑞特的淘金热都在以其现代的升级版本继续上演着。我曾偶遇一位商界成功人士，我却不能从他的眼中体察出快乐二字；也曾听工作了好些年的白领姐姐讲述办公室的政治学；还被哲学系的悉大学生逼问“What is happiness?”他们都在雾蒙蒙的现代社会寻求着幸福的真谛。

关于幸福，我有一些肤浅的理解：幸福，是比快乐更高层次的词--幸福着，一定快乐着，而快乐着却不一定幸福着（物质的充裕可以带来快乐的感觉，而幸福感是金钱买不来的）；幸福的源泉是爱—对自然的爱，对人类的爱，对生活的爱；幸福是一个个美好的瞬间激发的心灵的愉悦感；幸福往往并非是一个人的事儿；幸福有着极强的感染力；幸福是需要用勤劳和智慧努力争取的；幸福不是人生列车的终点，它存在于旅途中……

流浪汉和孤女是幸福的！我们呢，是否也处在幸福之中？

“Let her go!” How I wish to shout out aloud in front of him. Although I have never met him in person, I know he is ruining her life.

She is just like a graceful butterfly. Her mild temper, soft voice, and fair skin make her a natural beauty. Her fortitude, resilience and amicability have won her boundless admiration and appreciation. In many people’s eyes, she is a lucky star.

When she was at the age of eighteen, she was in love, deeply in love with him. Being a man of passion, he fell for her madly. Thus, the seed of love was sowed. They both watered that tiny seed with tenderness and care. Through their joint effort, their love mellowed with the elapsing of time.

After graduation, geographic distance was in their way. He gave her an ever-lasting promise—a promise she strongly believed in and held dear of. Thus no external force shall do them apart. She waited for seven years in order to finally be with him. Seven years for a woman like her is the golden period of her life. Being an embodiment of a persevering butterfly, she flied over hills and traveled through thick forest without the slightest thought of giving up in the midst of harsh journey.

Eventually, her wish is fulfilled. He could embrace his lady butterfly with a joyful heart. Unpredictably, his love weaves a dense net, holding her tightly inside. He was captivated by on-line games. Beaten into a loser one night, he smashed a window with her presence and did not even apologize for that insolent conduct. When she cooked a fabulous dinner for him, he growled at her saying he shouldn’t be forced to have dinner with her. Alas, what a lover he is!

When love becomes bondage, it turns the lovers into haters by confining them into suffocating atmosphere. The fierce love between them has set an infuriating wild fire which might never be put out. Her wings tend to snap into pieces by the one who she deeply loves. Being an idealist, her dream has shattered into pieces accompany her running tears. Sadly, he chooses to love her in the cruelest way……

How I wish to see her smile once again! She shouldn’t deserve such a treatment and be cornered like this. How he cherished her! If he truly loves her, he should let her go and give her freedom. Fly once again, lady butterfly! Be brave enough to embrace the big blue sky!
