recently started to watch ( and am currently addicted ) to 还珠格格 again! haha. dont eye-roll me. it is a very nice show! i'm already on to my 2nd episode.
brought back so many nice memories of more than 10 years ago when i was nuts about this show. but watching it now is so different from than in the past. i was only about 10 years old when i watched this show. now,after 11 years, i finally understand from the heart all the intense emotions in this show. it makes me marvel at how time passes, and to think that i would watch this show with a different set of eyes is pretty amazing. 11 years ago, i was just a kid! what did i know. missing that innocence. what struck me was this song that i heard during the show. it hit me so hard. although only the melody was played and without the lyrics, i had no idea why that wave of emotions just came by. haha. interesting. i have no idea either.
here's the song:

i truly admire the way the chinese language is used in such beauty to bring out beautiful emotions and meaning that honestly, english cant . it's a shame that i'm not as proficient in chinese as i am in english. this show demonstrates the beauty of chinese. an example of which is demonstrated in this poem. such simple words but the dynamics and meaning behind this poem is so much. i thank God for this love and appreciation for language. no wonder i love lit!
你是风儿
我是沙
风儿萧萧
沙儿飘飘
风儿吹吹
沙儿飞飞
风儿飞过天山去
沙儿追过天山去
i'm not being all romantic or love-struck here. just feel very touched and moved by the beauty behind the play of words and also the meaning that is behind all these.unlike the past when i knew nothing, now, i feel it and somehow understand it too.
