Hopeless Romantic

I just bought a CD featuring the cello . FangZhongPei , cellist and composer , released this album featuring works composed by him and some with LinHai . I love its music , i repeated the CD 4 times already ... i love it . The only problem is that it is based on this TV series in Taiwan , called 'Crystal Boys' . By the title itself , u should get some hint that it sounds queer . Indeed , it is based on a theme of homosexuality . However , thats just the shallow understanding of this TV series . Beside the homosexual theme , what people say was the family bond , friendship and the struggling emotion surpressed by its uniqueness . Its an opera that alchemized tradegy into golden powder . This is going out for all the homeless boys wandering in the streets , in the abyss of the night , by PaiHsienYung .

First novel to focus on gay culture in Chinese society . This novel had been translated into numerous languages , including English , French , German and Japanese . The author's quote , "In our kingdom , there are only dark nights , no daylight . Once the sky turns bright , our kingdom becomes invincible ... In our kingdom , there are no divisions between rich and poor , noble and low , old and young , strong and weak . What we have are each other's bodies that burn with desire so hot that the pain is unbearable . And each other's lonely heart that drive us crazy ... " , suggests that this piece is not just a simple work , but this work written to a degree unexpected in both quantity and quality . The cast alone is enough to excite many Taiwanese movie fans , as it gathers together the best-looking group of Taiwanese actors ever to perform in this TV drama . The author's intention was not to make a gay work , but he was fascinated many times by the atmosphere and that kind of warmth among people and their relationship , be it friendship , family or romantic love . This kind of warmth seems to have been lost now . So the author wanted to recollect this feelings and the aura again on screen . TV series is directed by TsaoJuiYuan . Director managed to capture the mood of the novel slendidly and the results were very pleasing .

Gay literature is on a rise . And its even in high demand ... so i think there is no need to despise or discriminate such people already . But ... some are just incorrigible .

Some little things i thought while listening to the music ... many themes and different moods and affection was obviously conveyed at that time . Blunt ideas but worthy to be thought of , "What is the use of fortune and prestige ? Youth is the most treasured in the world !" . True yet untrue , people do wanna buy time and back into their youths , but ... its still not that important after weighing it with fortune .

Im so over the Tv series of this novel . Its getting me curious to how it is like . Its purely literature and not simple story books . But one thing i noticed was this place that was mentioned over and over again . Its the Lotus Pond ... it must have some meaning like "The King Of The Castle" , the Warings . It must have shared a common theme in it ... i cant figure what it is , but from what i know , the lovers met at the Lotus Pond . This is indeed another tradegy of a romance that couldnt survive without struggles and torture from this society of politics and chaos . Sad ... i can feel the shady melancholy .

In the dark kingdom there had been the age of innocence . There was no difference of age , rank or fortune . What united people were only the hearts . The lonely , maddening hearts . Go on , its ur turn to fly . Its in ur blood ... ur like a fledgling , who've lost ur nest , like a flock of seagulls crossing the ocean , struggling to keep flying ahead , with no idea where u'll wind up ... Though the outside world looked huge and infinite , one day the fledgling would have no choice but to fly back to the old nest , the dark forest of the park , beside the Lotus Pond .
