A mark

It’s still not warm in late-Apr. This time five years ago, it was already hot like summer. I actually have written proof – my diary.

It was from then that I started writing a journal to keep a record of what had happened in the university of life. Blogging became ubiquitous a few years later. In this way, my experiences are compressed into a couple of word documents and some web pages. Complicated things are simplified into words.

大栅栏

Is it the narrowest alley in Beijing?

Every time I tried to see and walk across the famous Waibaidu bridge, it was either the bridge or the Bund that was under construction. Finally it was over and here it is. The bridge appeared in many movies, including Spielberg’s Empire of the sun – my favourite.

An Education

I didn’t watch this movie until last weekend. After being bombarded by the dazzling special effects of Avatar and Alice in wonderland, a bittersweet coming of age story feels so refreshing. The 60’s fashion and music are classic. Maybe I should read the book.
