the meaning of love

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice on wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
(1 Corinthians, Ch. 13)

愛的真諦
愛是忍耐,愛是恩慈,愛是凡事包容,愛是信任,
愛是凡事盼望,愛是凡事忍耐 ,愛是永不止息,愛是喜歡真理!

愛的禁忌
愛是不嫉妒不自誇,愛是不張狂,
愛是不粗魯,愛是不自求自己的益處,
愛是不輕易發怒,愛是不數算人的過,愛是不喜歡不義的事!

Orlando


Recently, I saw a film “Orlando” that was directed by Sally Potter and that was based on Virginia Woolf classical novel. The novel is a story of an Elizabethan nobleman who lived for four centuries and changed the sexual for rest of his half life (androgynous). It performs a kind of unconsciousness and a stream of consciousness. Victoria era is a splendid era. People in Victoria era liked to look at the female bodies as a sex and passion way, every image is cut into pieces with music. Therefore, we can easily understand the role of female in society. In that special era by the character that played by Orlando through four centuries from a nobleman to be nobody. The film makes a statement that expressed the point of view of female in history, sex, politics, and etc.

In my opinion, no matter what your gender is, people have their right to make their decisions. Hence, Orlando also can decide which gender he wants. Although she lives in different era, people always face the death, love, politics, and so on. For example, Orlando has a long life to face the life, after she experienced the love, heart broken and ridiculous war, Orlando changes his gender from man to woman. Different genders in society have different treatments, but always have the spirit of freedom in his or her soul.

Even the janitor of Wenzao college can recognize us because we are persons who often leave school later. Almost four years, we still gather at parking lot to enjoy the period of talking. Therefore, we named ourselves a title "Talkative Four".
