How to describe Paris? Walking along the south side of Seine, trough the Latin Quartier, living in old building of more than three hundreds years or becoming neighour of Rene Descartes? I can't tell exactly how it feels. Maybe only I have to spend a whole afternoon sitting at the bench in the park, holding a book and let the sun shine spread over me, I can understand a bit what's so-called Parisienne. Or maybe to take a coffe en terrasse and enjoy the music by the freelancers in the street will helps a bit more to understand. Here, never rush for anything, because nothing could stop one from enjoy the life. This is something that I never understood in my 1st year at Ponts, cause it was stuffed up by mysterious mathematics and isolation in a small rural area called 'Champs'.

There's always good things even though life sucks. When someone comes, some others leave. The pain doesn't tear you in parts. It's the ever bliss that reminds you how beautiful life could be.

This summer, is one of the best summers that I ever had for life time.

My Dear Fanqie, thanks to God to let me know you for 12 years. I'm grateful.

Besides, I'm dedicated to make this BT gesture in all of the well-known spots that I've ever been to.

学番茄同学总结一下, 在白天游塞纳河是晒的; 自由女神像是找不到的; 爸爸是爱照像的; 妈妈的偶像是居里夫人.

拿破仑同学找了两个男人(将军)睡(长眠)在他身边; 卢浮宫里居然有一个gynandromorph的雕像; 看到汗莫拉比法典差点啃上去,跟Rosetta Stone一样让人痴迷的黑色玄武岩; 凡尔赛的镜廊说明法王是相当自恋的人; Pompidou为什么不在La Defence; Avignon还是老样子; Pont du Gard是一座'步行几小时即可到达'的桥....; Nimes有旷古烁今最能yy牛长无比催眠万岁的语音导览; 想把自己染成红色可以去Roussillon的红土森林公园吹一下风,免费纯天然的灰头土脸;马赛的阳光,海滩,美女,独缺帅哥~~~

这些细碎的好,点点滴滴是融在这景致里的,也许因为身边有了关心的人,有了要拼尽全力去保护的东西,便将这一路上的风雨都化作风景. 人生真的不需要太多的推倒重来,能有多少次机会可以重新来过呢?

幸福是什么?我已经有了答案~

背着我的背囊,从一个城市又转战回另一个城市.这里有人来过,又匆匆离去,上演着一场又一场的欢宴,喜乐哀愁,都是永恒的主题.

像梵高的向日葵一般,永远向着太阳生长,在阳光下开着明晃晃的黄色的花.如果来年看不见阳光,还会不会再开花?

流浪在阿维尼翁街头的艺人啊,唱着一首唱不完的歌,好像在诉说别人的故事,又好像要把人的心事说穿.夕阳在罗纳河洒下一片波光,我可以挽留这美景挽留这时刻到几时? 拥有在掌心的,永远只有那么多,握得紧,反而像流出的沙,渐渐消失不见.

愿如一朵莲花,开在一池秋水,愿如一注心香,然在青灯古佛前.

萤火虫之墓出了电影版,依然美好的生活,硬生生撕裂给你看.人说艺术是人生的升华,所以生活注定要在欢笑之后流下泪水?

           衣成春已暮
           繁花惹罗裙
           独对空枝
           着衣忆盛景
           奈春去无归
