[quote=WINDENERGY,245989]Ah, the simplicity of Chinese legends. I guess in a simple world it is easy to believe in these simple myths. Chinese culture, it appears, is deeply rooted in these simple myths. This is what keeps marriage such a sacred and revered tradition to all Chinese people. I just learned about the idea that marraige is an eternal act and lasts beyond the span of just one lifetime. These legends live in the minds and hearts Chinese people, it makes this culture so innocent, so simple and so alluring. I'm afraid that the charms and idealogy of it all has weaved it's web into my heart and I am yearning to believe and trust in these tails. For better or worse, I still make a lucky wish when the first star appears in the evening sky. Because to believe is to have culture and having culture, according to Joseph Campbell's Power of Myth, is to deny death and heartache. So, I am happily listening to a Chinese melody while I write this and am happy. My ladyfriend, Li Hong Yan sent me this email which is a very soothing message for those of you who can read Chinese: http://zhongqiu.8wish.com/?stra=%u865E%u534E%u6797 I hope other members find happiness within the message, __WINDENERGY__[/quote]
