A touching love story!
To those who are married, .. Not married .. and soon to be married, I hope you will be touched with this story...
MARRIAGE
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly.
Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning.. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.
Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.
On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore. She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart. That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage! If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you. If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Brother Sharp (Xī Lì Gē / 犀利哥) (2010)
Just read about this touching story online..
Dubbed as the hottest homeless man in China..
He was finally found and reunited with his family when a photographer happened to take his photos and posted it up on the web. To his surprise, the photographs begin to gather a lot of attention and thus leading fans and reporters to go down and find out more about this man.. Read on..
Below information extracted from here.
A homeless man who spends his days and nights wandering the streets of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, has almost gained star status, thanks to his “good looks and sharp dress sense”. A growing number of Internet users are tracking the whereabouts of the still unidentified man, whose “fans” have nicknamed him Brother Sharp (犀利哥). He is one of the most talked about personalities in Chinese cyberspace today. Several netizens have dubbed Brother Sharp as the “most handsome underdog of this century”.
“He has a very special temperament,” stated Mr. Tu, “so I couldn’t help but pick up the camera and take a few shots.”
Later that day, Mr. Tu went home and sent his photos to the website, but had not expected to receive the upcoming attention.
On February 21, a Tianya Club forum user posted a thread, titled 《秒杀宇内究极华丽第一极品路人帅哥！帅到刺瞎你的狗眼！求亲们人肉详细资料》, roughly translated as “Behold the number one ultimate, gorgeous, handsome passer-by! Blind your dog eyes! Seeking detailed information on his flesh.”
-“…a starkly handsome Chinese man walking with a model’s measured gait, and wearing a rag-tag but well coordinated overcoat on top of a leather jacket. His eyes peer into the middle distance, in what one fan described as ‘a deep and penetrating way’, and he strides confidently forward.” Photos of the man’s handsome features, from the eyes, clothing, hairstyles, uninhibited decadence, and even smoking facial expressions, were all revealed. Netizens dubbed the homeless man “Brother Sharp” because of his “sharp style”. Brother Sharp had become a fashion icon, catching many attention not only in China, but even in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
Forum users had immediately started posting their own take on Brother Sharp
Just five days after, on February 26, at 20:00 (CST), the Tianya post hits millions of views and Google searching “犀利哥 (Brother Sharp)” presented 463,000 search results. An update on March 5, Google searching “犀利哥” will give more than 15 million search results. Ever since his picture was discovered, people had been trying to locate this mysterious man. Many netizens find it hard to believe that such a handsome man could be homeless. Could he be just a model? The Tianya Club vigilante group, Human Flesh Search expanded their efforts into finding Brother Sharp and knowing more about him.
Ningbo Internet users proved that Brother Sharp is a genuine beggar; not an actor or posing model. He is often found at an infested area near the East entrance of the Xinhua Bookstore. Apparently, he is mentally unstable.
Due to his growing popularity, the main-stream media decided to get involved in this internet phenomenon. Locals had suggested to send him to a homeless shelter due to his unwanted presence on the streets. However, netizens opposed to this idea, and started to resent promoting Brother Sharp’s popularity. The mass-media were constantly harassing him with questions and urges to go receive help. Many went to find him, but when confronted he would become frightened and just cry without speaking.
His identity was discovered on March 5, when his younger brother met him in the hospital and recognized him as his long lost brother. Brother Sharp’s real name is Chen Guorong, born October 10, 1975, and is from the Boyang County, Jangxi province. He left home to work 11 years earlier and his family lost contact with him.
On March 8, 2010 Brother Sharp has been reported to have returned to his home in Poyang when his family found him due to his unwanted fame. Locals and authorities supported his homecoming by sending the family food and supplies. One local logistics company offered to donate 2000 yuan, and the local government helped the family apply for subsistence allowances.
*The wonders of the internet!
I'm truly happy for him and his family! =)

Origin
On the morning of January 30, 2010, a photographer took his new SONY camera to Tian Yi Square and decided to try out his new lens, by shooting street scenes for the photography community forum, www.fengniao.com. The photographer, Mr. Tu, captured a few shots of a homeless man, who he said was “bearing dignification” as he walked down the busy streets.“He has a very special temperament,” stated Mr. Tu, “so I couldn’t help but pick up the camera and take a few shots.”
Later that day, Mr. Tu went home and sent his photos to the website, but had not expected to receive the upcoming attention.

Korean Drama - Temptation of Wife / Cruel Temptation
Recently got hooked onto this Korean Drama Temptation of wife, a.k.a Cruel temptation.
Initially I thought it was another boring old Korean love story, but it came with an interesting twist!
Maybe it was also because I have this interest to find out how a family breaker a.k.a third party sees or thinks before she breaks up a family that makes me want to carry on watching...And now I'm hooked...!!
The TV series is going very slow and I'm hoping it would speed up soon..
An hour a day is not enough as the plot thickens and more complications are brought up!!
Just when you thought that the female lead could finally have her happy ending..the supposedly dead real Min So Hee reappears!!
There's never a boring moment and it makes you tug at hair when you see the evil counterpart Shin Ae Ri triumphing. It tugs at your heart when Goo Eun Jae couldn't get to be with the man she loved!
There's a total of 129 episodes and all 3 of the main leads have gotten an award for this drama series.
Cha Soo Kyung, the singer of the theme song (I Can't/ Won't Forgive) for this drama has strong vocals and a beautiful voice and the song is really good! It's full of feelings and sounds really sad and painful...just like how the female lead suffers..Here's the english lyrics for the song..
| I Can't Forgive (Ballad) |  |
| Why do you want to meet me Why did you bring all of my pain I paid for you all But why did you return to me full of tears Because you hurt me So I have to reborn Do not call me a bad woman Because you people can't be forgive The cruel fate, like love in general This is not part of our future road Sometimes we can not make this section of track brake If you love will feel regret when the end of That love given to us only hatred When the love when you need to beg That original's heart had been gradually distance I hate those cold eyes Traction of you is that heart Will encounter Another section of the temptation to Love is what it would be suffocating Do I also once thought to seize the You do that treacherous Why do you want to meet me Why did you bring all of my pain I paid for you all But why did you return to me full of tears Because you hurt me So I have to reborn Do not call me bad woman Because you people can not forgive Thanks to http://houseoflove2005bluegal.blogspot.com/2009/11/cruel-temptation-theme-song-icant.html for lyrics!~ | |
Support the Drama!
