Quod vitae sectabor iter?

重看 1999 年的日記發現了那時寫下笛卡兒的一句話：「Quod vitae sectabor iter?」

Merry Xmas

馬賽克

人生有時都很馬賽克，看清與看不清之間。

怎樣才可以高興呢？別人簡簡單單，吃著一些小食已經很開心。今晚，看著三個外甥，笑著笑著，內心也笑了出來。想起 Nieve，很想與他分享。有時，看著 Nieve 或者聽著他的話，心情也輕鬆得多，只是他不相信我的話。

今天，我見了工。離開 Sakai Group 後第四次見工或筆試：R Tomas, Kampf, Ondra Solutions, Gracias Kapital。其中 Ondra Solutions 請了我，我亦上了班。然而，內心總有一些不爽。我知道問題所在，但不想在此詳談。

工作

找找尋尋，工作是甚麼？發現只是人生的一部份，人生應活在工餘，有多少人是工作與生活都是一樣呢？不多。既然不可以，就放工後找回人生的樂趣吧！

停頓

人生的意義為何

生有何戀
死又何妨

追趕甚麼
跑來跑去
除了虛空
還是虛空

脫下舊衣
展著無限怨氣
供世人失望
令自己失落

想穿新衣
但找不著
無奈攻入
信心失守

人生的意義為何

Handcraft Papercutting

In Beijing, one of the most impressive folk arts is the papercutting (Chinese: 剪紙). It is the handcraft of Chinese people which use a skillful and creative technique to cut the paper and turn it to a very attractive decoration on the doors, windows, columns, walls and lamps. Every time when I visit Beijing, I take many photos for the papercuttings as they are very beautiful and unique.

Checking the history, the tradition for papercutting was started in 6th century. It was served for religious purpose at first. There are two ways for doing the papercuttings: scissors method and knife method. Today, papercuttings are chiefly used as decoration in many special events, like Chinese New Year, Marriage and cerebrate the birthday.

There is a quite funny study: In the countryside, papercuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the crafts that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides. Professional papercutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have guaranteed incomes and work together in workshops.

You can have a look of our papercuttings, we have many different kind of topics, like the Chinese Drama Face, Dragon, Butterfly and many other different animals.
