Tuya’s Marriage

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , on April 22, 2007 | 4 Comments »

Today I went to the cinema to see Tuya’s Marriage (图雅的婚事), the film that won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in February. The film is set in Inner Mongolia and revolves around the willful and witty Tuya. Since the spoken language is not so standard Mandarin and I watched this with [...]

Do you want to be Jackie Chan’s successor?

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , , on April 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

I just saw on CCTV 9’s Culture Express that Jackie Chan (成龙) is launching a TV show to search for his successor. This is very good news as Jackie Chan was at his peak in the 70’s with Drunken Master (醉拳) and hasn’t been quite so agile lately. The Disciple (“龙”的传人), as the show is [...]

一位独特的人？

Posted in Nonsense, tagged , , on April 10, 2007 | 2 Comments »

Homework for everyone’s entertainment.

老师布置的作业：写一篇关于一位很独特的人的文章。我想了很久也没有想出任何可写下的。我终于决定写自己的故事。我不是个自高自大的人，对于自己来说我不是独特的，而是个普通人。不过我常被人认为奇怪，尤其是我的朋友。
有一天，我走在路边时看见一只很可怜的鸭。它一身肮脏浑身脏脏的，我一见就想把它抱回家去洗。我的朋友说我傻，关心鸭无用。我向旁边一看，发现了那只鸭是从一个烤鸭饭馆跑出来的。到这时，我不但想把它洗干净，而且想救它的命。朋友正在哈哈大笑，我无法处理，终于不得不离开了。那只鸭后来被烤了。这种情况对于人家来说是小事，甚至可笑，他们看我的反应就会说我奇怪。
也许我实际上有点奇怪，但是我永远不认为奇怪是坏事。我对各种各样的事情都有不同的观点。我爱讨论，能学会用中文来争论我很高兴。

An evil wizard wants to conquer the earth and two courageous Turks try to stop him. A [...]
