My First Performance, Auld Lang Syne

Waterloo Bridge

My father told me, I was dancing at the Eastern Sea University music hall to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. That I can't remember. So I guess it was with my aunt for her graduation ceremony. It has a beautiful Chinese translation, Soul Lost in the Blue Bridge. This is from the Chuang Tze's love story about a man Wei Sheng, who refused to leave the site where a vow was made, a flood came to wash him away, and yet he was holding the post to wait for his love. The movie began from Air Raid on Waterloo Bridge. The British film and manners has been imprinted on many Chinese military such as my own father. My aunt majored in foreign languages, and her studies included Shakespeare, and Mansfield. She also studied piano in Nanjing as a little girl. She was in the university's chorus. So my sister and I possibly went on dancing to bid farewell for my aunt's graduation party to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne." This is a Scottish folksong which was recompiled by Robert Burns and made popular to the world. A very good sentiment. We Chinese love this humanity from the English world, as we most still live under the shadow and scar of the Opium War. Thanks for the artists of the English speaking world, which show that other than war, there is humanity.

老影片的感情 魂斷藍橋與我

父親說﹕ 妳不記得小時後在東海大學的禮堂﹐表演過“魂斷藍橋”舞蹈。。 但是﹐我﹐沒有這個印象。 我幼年時﹐阿姨在讀大學。阿姨是讀東海大學的外文系﹐她的書籍有莎士比亞﹐曼殊菲爾等。 她也自小受過鋼琴訓練。在大學的合唱團表演﹐因此﹐我想﹐是牽著她的裙子﹐到過許多地方﹐三歲時﹐因此不記得了。 依稀有大深紅色調的天鵝絨幕帘。一群小朋友們出場﹐繞著場走一圈。 女主角費雯麗Vivien Leigh, 表達出英國女性的端莊風趣。 她比"飄﹐Gone with the Wind" 更愛此角色。 難怪﹐因為畢竟是表達自己英國人的個性﹐而”飄“﹐是表達美國南方人的心理感觸﹐難免疏離感﹐而蘇格蘭的民謠﹐Auld Lang Syne, 被Robert Burns 改編﹐讓世界都能感受到﹐一首民族歌謠的淵源流長。 國與國之間﹐除了鴉片戰爭﹐還是有這麼多美好的生活方式。
