an incredibly moving piece that he did about his mother. She had died
two years ago today, and so he thought of the film as a memorial to
her. It discussed his childhood with his mother, as well as how he
felt about her death. There were movement pieces included in it, and
it was quite beautiful. I even cried a little, thinking about how
lucky I am to have a Mom who cares about me and loves me as much as
Wenguang's mother cared about and loved him.
After we left the studio Di, Tara, and I went to Cash Box Party World
for karaoke. After I got a couple beers in me I rattled off some hits
like David Bowie's "Heroes," Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run," (for
you Mom) and a few ABBA songs. Chinese karaoke is really funny,
because when they don't have stock footage for American songs they
will put some random Chinese guy (or girl) singing really
emphatically. I got the same Chinese guy singing under green laser
lights for both "Born to Run" and Joan Jett's "I Love Rock n Roll." We
also ate some surprisingly good buffet food at the karaoke place.
Once our time in our karaoke room was up we found that it was pouring
outside and had to cross streets that had turned into rivers to grab a
cab. As I was hopping across a puddle I didn't... exactly look where I
was going and...........may have run into a bike. Oops. The woman
riding the bike said that I scared her but I'M FINE MOM and really.
I'm okay.
I'm calling tonight an early one because I have to be up at 6am to go
to the Great Wall tomorrow. Six days until I head home. ahhhhhhhhhhhh
