Coincidentally came across these pictures on my computer this morning
and realized that they were taken in March 21, 2007 (4 years ago today)
Good old times.
I've been laying here all night, listening to the rain.
Talking to my heart and trying to explain.
Why sometimes I catch myself wondering what might have been.
Yes I do think about you, every now and then. ♫
Today I came across an extremely touching love story that I would like to share with everybody.
Forty years ago, Lau fell in love with Tsui, a girl that was 10 years older than him. Later, Tsui married another man, but he died and left her with 4 children. Lau then said to her " Let me take care of you for the rest of your life." At the time, the society did not accept the fact that older women, with kids should remarry to a younger man. Because Lau did not want Tsui to be humiliated by society, they left to live in a far away hill in China. Life there was harsh, but they managed to live happily, enjoying their quiet life. However, the only way to have access to daily necessities was to climb down the steep hill. Since Lau was afraid that Tsui would easily get hurt climbing down the hill, he spent 50 years of his life carving 6000 steps, similar to a staircase that we have now. In 2002, this "staircase" was found by explorers and named it "天梯". However, Lau died in 2007 from brain cancer, leaving his wife in the far away hill. Lau's love, as expressed by his staircase will be forever engraved into Tsui's heart.
Below is the video, along with the song 天梯 by C All Star. Enjoy.
I just finished watching all 10 episodes of 你們我們他們 (Dropping By Cloud Nine). I have actually downloaded the series a while ago, but had no time to start. Dropping by Cloud Nine talks about 10 different love stories, one in each episode. Since not all endings were "happily ever after," it provided us with a more realistic view of love. To me, the main ideology that was evident throughout the series was love vs fate: meeting the right person, at the right time.
We meet many people in our lives, some just "pass by"
never having the chance to even become friends,
while some "stay" as friends, but we never get a chance to fall in love with them.
Sometimes we fall too deep, before realizing that it's already over.
All we are left with is ourselves and a broken heart.
There is never an end to love.
Somewhere, sometime we may meet and fall in love over again.
There will always be someone out there for you,
someone that will be willing to build that perfect relationship with you.
