happy but not happy

I love Bertolucci,
the crescent moon and camel bells in the desert;



the golden light in the sunset,
the wilderness of beautiful women and handsome men,
Ryuichi Sakamoto;



I don’t like liars and thieves,
I don’t like malaria flies and sandstorms,
I don't like that there is no one to help in a difficult situation.
"Death separates loved ones forever" is really annoying.




I'm not Sanmao, I don't have Jose,
I can't tell "Story of the Sahara";

I'm not Sister Mei, I don't have Lei handsome,
I've never walked in, let alone "Out of Africa";

I'm not Ralph, I'm Without "The English Patient",
I would never leave my loved one alone in the desert;

I am not Lawrence, I have no Arab, and
I will not die for irrelevant aliens.




I only have a bland love, and
I can only stay true to each other.
The literary and artistic youth who are self-inflicted and sad,
always make me sad for a pound and incomprehensible.




Wealth and honor are not my wish, whose tears and sorrows are flying
under the sky that cannot be expected to cover the emperor's hometown. I am worried

  • Kit Moresby: Champagne yes, philosophy no.

  • Port Moresby: You know, if Tunner didn't take such long siestas, I'd never be alone with you. I think he's in love with you.

    Kit Moresby: Port, don't be silly.

    Port Moresby: Sillier things have happened. The way he hangs around making inane conversation, the way he looks at you when he fingers his DDT can...

    Kit Moresby: What else?

    Port Moresby: Oh, the ferocity with which he counts your luggage.

    Kit Moresby: Oh, he counts yours too.

    Port Moresby: It's not the same.
