kite festival

Today, I went to a kite festival which is one of the most common semi-civil activities in Nanjing even China with Kevin.
Flying kite used to be one of the most important even in China. People usually fly kites in spring. A famous modern time writer Lu Xun also wrote a prose named kite. There is a sentence in this article says: Kites are children’s toys, toys are children’s treasures. I used to think it is really silly and baffling, but I realized that I have totally already understood the meaning of the entire sentence, when I saw these children’s cheerful smiling face in the hot wind of early summer.
Kite Flying festival were organized almost ever weekends from early spring to the late fall. Every weekend with big winds, people who live near this park likes flying kites will take their favorite kite to this place not only having fun, but also have a competition sometimes. The winner for this week is a lean old man who looked had glory in the past. His entire arm, especially the right one didn’t looks strong, but it does was very powerful. It was powerful enough to hold the string which I was hardly to hold easily and controlled the way the kite went with noticed the direction of the wind, just like the sailor who takes care of the sail in a ship.
The festival is not very long. It started when the sun turned to orange, and ended when the sun hided himself behind the horizon.

Church

During the Christmas holiday, I went to the preachment in the Church of Mochou Road.
That was my first time join the religion event and I was late. I came into the church during when people are sing Christmas songs in the front of the church. Almost all the seats have someone on it, and I was hardly found a seat. What I could do is to stand there and listen to the songs and pastors’ words. A few minutes later, came me a pastor and asked me if I want to go upstairs to have a sit. That what I extremely want to do, have a seat and enjoy my first religion event.
The next part of the preachment started with the drama which about things happened after the Chris’ birth. The lines they used were old English with a lot of terms which I almost couldn't’t understand any of their sentences. Luckily, the small red self-printed books have all the Chinese lines of the drama on it. The drama’s general idea is after the born of Jesus, three sage gave him frankincense, myrrh, gold as the present and bless him will grow healthily.
Even that was my first time join in a religion event, but I could still felt the solemn atmosphere in the church. Atheism always said that religion the tool that the tyrant used to control the mind of public, but what I think is, the event like that really could help people free their mind and had mentally relaxation.

Drama

A few months ago, during the Christmas holiday, I went to Shanghai to watch a drama named the Mousetrap which was transformed from a well-known detective story written by Agatha Christic, not one of, but the best detective story writer.
The drama started at 8:00 pm, at the Shanghai Drama Theater. The weather there is below the frozen point, but I didn’t felt cold at all. That was my first time watching the drama. I was so excited about it.
The theater is not the traditional one, which I usually see. The seats are around the stage like a square instead of in front of the stage. On the other hand, there was no clear line of demarcation between the seats and the stage. We were a part of the drama, like the set on the stage. The actors were not far away from us, they stood in front of us, made me like I was a role in the drama, but nothing to speak. That was I have never seen, even heard before.
The drama started with the dark silence in the stage, though the time past, the story was more and more close to the time of climax. The atmosphere of nervous fluctuate in the theater, after the gush of truth, came the end of the crime and the story. What I think about this drama is that if I could use the curve to illustrate the story, I will use wave of heart which is up and down very often.

Work experience 2

During last few weeks, I worked as a video editor in the Nanjing Military Region, which made a TV series named The Undercover General. The first day of the work, I spend most of the time on sitting next to one of them and study the skills and knowledge, which I have to know for the next few days. They are so many big differences between the pro person and students who makes video like me. At first, the computers they use usually connect 2 scream together then they could see more part of the video and it will be much easier to editing. On the other hand, the software they used are much professional than the Ulead Videostudio which most of students like us usually use.
At the first few hours, I was totally doesn’t understand what the person sat next to me was talking about, I really didn’t know what he was talking about. That was the most difficult time during the whole work days. For my surprise, he didn’t get mad even though I don’t understand. He helped me instead of yelled at me. I didn’t learn very fast, but I keep doing, which also means still learned not that less.
After a few hours, I finished the basic thing I have to know for my future, but what happened is after I finished it, all the part that will use these were all finished. I finally have nothing to do, so the leader of the office asked me to fix the script clerks’ working mistakes, which was watching all the parts of the video and check if the first script clerk had recommend all the things like in what time who picked up the stone from where and did what to that stone. I did these kinds of thinks for 3 days. Thanks the first script clerk, he was very responsible, it was great that he finished almost all the works that he suppose to do. I just add a little details that he forget about the video, which also means I had a easy work.
A few days later, the really challenge came to me. I was told to be a editor assistant, which will means I would finally do the work of editing. Seriously, this is very hard. Firstly, the video are not in the correct order, which should be the same as the scenario, so I have to read scenario once and once again to help me put them in order. On the other hand, the photographer used at least 3 video cameras in one set, in different directions and angels, and also when the actor failed once, they shoot again, and I have to choose the best one with excellent directions, angles, and even the actors’ emotion. These were the entire element that I have to think about during the editing.
I think not everyone has a chance to do this kind of work like me and get the experience, so my experience is extremely important for me.
