Wang Cheng Park, used to be the palace of a King in Qing Dynasty. Luoyang museum, displays large amounts of antiques from thousands of years ago till Qing Dynasty.

Today I went to the library to borrow 2 books about movie. One is Cinema And Cultural Modernity written by Gill Branston, the other is Literature On Film And Television written by Professor Zhou Xing and Professor Huang Hui-Lin. It seems finally I find a way to connect the film study and English study together.

Yesterday I spent the night with Ding Yi. After having sex he slept again and I began to read The 6 Chapters Of The Floating Life by his side. Honestly it's not what I expect. The only thing I care is if we can have a real chat all about us. But...same old way. Perhaps what man really looking forward is sex, not chats. While kept staring at his back I lit a cigarette one after another. Maybe that is love. Maybe that is what all lovers become anyway. Maybe that's the end of all couples' lives. Everytime I want to hold him tightly he's not here.

The theme of the composition of TOEFL I reviewed tonight is What I prefer: Staying one place or moving in searching of another palce. In fact my friends and I talking about it all the time. We always confused in the guilt of going out to see the world leaving our parents alone. I am a lonely child, I have the responsibility to take care of my parents, but I don't like to spend my entire life in my hometown even though I love her. Luoyang is small and lacking of the free circumstances I desire. Of course I can let my parents live with me when I settled down in the future. But is that the life they want? I don't know. And I don't know what my future husband will think. Maybe it's too far and what I can do is "let it be".

I can feel the press. It makes me breathless. And I have to find lots of ways to solve these problems. Reading books perhaps can find me way out and solace me.
