New York City is falling apart .... Buildings are collapsing , the financial market is in a tailspin and the dollar is not the dollar it us...
I remember the SB Movie : Love in a falling city, I have been to the re-built Repluse Bay Hotel for an English Afternoon Tea. Next time when you come back, ask Prof. Vincii to bring us there. Chang was once studied in HKU, as far as I know.

what's "SB Movie?"
ReplyDeleteDidn't we go there once together, Vincent and all? Come on, you don't need Vincent to bring you there, you can just go, you are not 3 year old.
I don't know much about Chang not her works not her person. But I think you are right she was once a student in HKU.
Shaw's Brother Movie, now most of them available in DVD. I need Prof. Vinci drive me there and need he pay for the bill.

OIC, SB, I thought you meant seriously boring. I happen to like that movie. It's a very literal adaptation of the story.
ReplyDeleteThere are mini bus and double decker bus that goes there. Very convenient. You make tons of money, you don't need anybody's treat. But it would be nice to go together all of us old people.
ask Prof Vinci and Prof Sweet, they can drive us there within half an hours. I didn't make tons of money, I need tons of money. I can't afford for early retirement just like Vinci

Nobody asked you to star in any movie or TV series? I thought you've made it big.
ReplyDeleteYou probably can help Vincent spend some of his money.
Cut the crap! Eileen was once married to a real traitor, called Hu Lan Cheng (1906 - 1981). He is a cai zi in his own right. You may wonder why he escaped the gallows (look at the year when he died). That is another story. If Tsz Chun is interested to know why, wp2007 can just buy me buffet at the Repulse Bay Hotel. By the way, Eileen also liked to write movie reviews when she was a student in hk.

I know she married Hu and later he left her, and the marriage ended in divorce. Then Chang moved to the States and remarried. And died alone.
ReplyDeleteHu is a womanizer. He didn't actually divorce her. He just left her. Anyway, it is one movie I am going to watch. I can't wait.

Hu got a very beautiful name. But that's much I know about the guy. He escaped to Japan and died there in 1981.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be released 9/28 next month. Don't know about Hong Kong.

ReplyDeletewhat's "cai zi." why he escaped the gallows? help me.
'cai' is talent. 'zi' is a person. He was a man of letters. Otherwise, Eileen wouldn't have been swept off her feet. Eileen got some pedigree herself too. Her grandfather was married to the daughter of Li Hong Zhang. As to why Hu escaped the gallows, I am still waiting wp2007's invitation.

Finally I got it. "cai zi".
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Tainan, I spent the whole afternoon in a couple of bookstores and when converted back to USD, the price is just right. I didn't buy a lot as I know I won't be able to finish them so I just bought a few.
As I got older and farther from Chineseness, the more I am drawn back to Chinese. It's like how did I spend my youth or my life w/out really reading anything at all? Sometimes if I have allotted my time in a more productive way, I could be a slightly more interesting if not better person.
Hu was a self-taught man who came from a very humble background. He was very well-read. But books didn't make a better person out of him. He was a selfish SOB, a charming and interesting one though.

vl1944,
ReplyDeleteYou are such a cai zi yourself. I am Orz ...
I wish I was, in the literary sense or the monetary sense.
ReplyDeletevl2007
Now you are making me say it, you are both. I don't think anybody will disagree.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was. Don't listen to wp2007 or wp2006. Just take a look at where I live. Anyway, I don't believe in an island south address or midlevels. I can't afford it anyway. I like it when you wrote, "..(a person) has to count his/her blessings (in life)" I am happy with what I have. I think I have more than enough, considering that 1 billion of the world's population have less than usd 1 to live on each day, and are likely never to have made a phone call or to have travelled beyond their place of birth. Yes, I am very blessed.
