musical experiencesFleeing by night
Armando Vargas
Last night i wept over a movie by Li Kong Hsu and Chi Yin, Shaodung (Lei Huang), a Chinese cellist born in America, goes home to Beijing to meet a woman arranged to be his wife, Ing'er (Rene Li). But his heart has other plans, in spite of his own inner conflict; instead of loving Ing'er, his attentions shift to a male opera singer, Lin Chun (Chao-te Yi).
exquisite love story..that touched so much longing in my heart..made me wonder what rock of emotional exile i've been living under..
Where I been I've no playlist for this set; it happen'd and I walk'd away from the wheels, reminds me of a line from the 'fleeing by night'; the night they (Shaodung & Lin Chun) part'd after a fun day and night; Lin Chun shouts back to Shaodung from the wall of which he is pearched; 'Shaodung!' Shaodung turns from the car door to watch Lin Chun leap back to the ground and stand a few feet away from him. 'Shaodung, can I have a cigarette?' Shaodung smiles at him, and approaches him with the pack of cigarettes extended; when he get within a breath from Lin Chun, he taps the pack and offers a cigarette; Lin Chun peers intensely into Shaodung's eyes, and says, "Shaodung, my memory of you..is here" and he places his hand to his heart. He turns and with two leaps, he's up and over the wall and gone, without taking the cigarette, still extended in Shaodung's hand.
