海枯石烂,斯爱不泯--看芬妮的微笑有感

海枯石烂,斯爱不泯--看芬妮的微笑有感

博客
    On the other Side of the Bridge
    When I watched the movie Finny’s Smile
    I was engaged with the struggle for my dissertation last year in the UK.
    And today, one year later, the memories of last summer rushing into
    my mind, just as I am dragged back into that movie, the engaging fragments
    Finny’s Smile appear once again…

    The movie uses a true story to show that 60-year marriage of an Austrian
    woman (Finny) and a Chinese man (Ma Yunlong). It is also linked to an
    image of the spread of social, cultural, and historical transformation across
    the last several decades in China.

    It is faith in love that I gained from that case, something deeply felt with
    almost mystical conviction to such a degree that everlasting love becomes
    utterly possible.

    The astounding and moving journey of Finny’s smile gets with
    by the arrival of the heroine Finny in China with one-way ticket
    from Austrian
    across the sea on a sunny afternoon.

    About 60 years ago, Mr. Ma Yunlong, with a decorated Sedan Chair
    (花轿), had the luck to marry Miss Finny, an Austrian lady, in the county
    of dongyang, Zhejiang (浙江东阳).

    Ma Yunlong arranged her wife-to-be in the Sedan Chair so she could
    be safe on their way to pass by the single-plank bridge over fast flowing
    rapids, smiling at the realization that how happy she was to be with a
    man, like Yunlong when she lift a corner of the Sedan curtain to look
    at his back carrying a pole of the Sedan before her…


    It is another impressive scene displayed in the adventure of their love
    that drove Finny to have crawled over the bridge for her first time
    after their marriage for delivering Christmas dinner to Yunlong who
    was in political isolation under the Cultural Revolution.

    It was 1990, Ma Yunlong passed away of illness.

    The movie ends with Finny and her Children lifting Yunlong’s coffin,
    approaching the single-plank bridge. The scene, the Sedan Chair of her
    marriage with her husband marching from the other end of bridge were
    back again, just like before.



    Everlasting marriage is a bit of a sore subject in the world today. We
    are at the present day passing through a somewhat confused period, when
    many people have sceptical doubt over their beliefs in marriage of the
    past standards. This leads various troubles, despair, remorse, and cynicism:
    high divorce rate, single parenthood, and love affairs…. I believe this blind
    sceptic to be very largely due to mistaken views of love, and mistaken views
    of marriage.

    In short, happiness with love depends on internal faith and efforts instead
    of external impact.


    罗文-黄昏
    如果我能为你求得一点青春
    我会留在心中保存
    纵然青丝如霜黄花飘落红颜已老
    只求心中还有一些纯真
    日落西山天际一片暮色沉沉
    我俩就要走进黄昏
    回首多少甜蜜几番哀愁起起落落
    始终不悔与你共度此生
    山谷中已有点点灯火
    暮色就要渐渐昏沉
    你和我也然笑泪满唇
    感叹年华竟是一无余剩
    晚风中布满我的歌声
    道尽多少旧梦前尘
    夜色中只看到彼此眼神
    我俩终会消失在那黄昏
    With much love
