Enjoy a new Mulan !!!

My favorite childhood historical tale is in Theater now !!!

Loyalty, Bravery, and True are the three profound virtues manifested in the new Disney live-action movie, Mulan, of which I was superlatively entertained by its beautiful photographic sceneries, filmed in mainland China, and New Zealand, and the extraordinary performance of Liu Yifai, in addition to the reminiscent and new invented music soundtrack!

It is not a perfect cinematic piece, due to some historical background discrepancies, but the everlasting legendary story of a Heroine extolling the praisable values of Piety, and Loyalty, expanding beyond traditional gender taboos, had successfully exclaimed the worth of this film.

As tormented and disappointed as many people who poignantly criticize this new version of Mulan in comparison with the original Musical Animation Mulan 1988, this new Mulan eliminates an important character Li Yi , who was Mulan's military companion and a romantically insinuated character, also mentioned in the old Chinese Poem describing this beautiful legend. Disney replaces two characters, the General Dong and Mulan's companion Houng Hui instead of Li Yi , and eliminate the romantic implications. In my opinion, romance is not the main theme of this legend, but Virtues , I personally do not mind much, since political correctness is so emphasized at present moment, Disney has complied with the concern to eliminate the romance within the army.

The notion of being true to yourself , awakened by the true Chi, symbolized by the Firing Flying Pheonix, brandishes throughout the entire story. The character development of Mulan lies upon her willingness to confess with her true identity of a Female warrior instead of hiding behind a psudomale appearance. As soon as she exemplifies herself as loyal, brave and truthful, her powerful caliber is beyond measure. Women can be so paramount powerful, even more than men, as in Mulan portriated, and this is why this story becomes my favorite childhood Legend.

Enjoy the Show !!

My Doll Went for an Adventure !

今天我讀到最美麗的故事！

BEAUTIFUL STORY for the DAY !!

“At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, walked through the park in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll.

“She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.

“The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter ‘written’ by the doll saying ‘please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures.’

“Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life. During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.

“Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin.

"It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.

Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: ‘my travels have changed me.’ The little girl hugged the new doll and brought her happy home.

A year later Kafka died.

“Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:

"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."
