About Me

My name is Edith Chan. I am a designer and illustrator based in Seattle, USA. I love dreaming, writing and drawing. Pencils and paint brushes are my magical wands giving my imaginations form. I was born and brought up in Macao, the first and the last European colony in China. Living in Macau gave me the opportunity to explore western and eastern arts. I have spent most of my life in this little city, until 2007 I moved to the United States and started this blog to document my adventure in America. You don’t have to be a Blogger or Google member to leave comments. Please take a moment to let me know you were here. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

那個是本?那個是末?

來了美國之後我很努力去學習英文, 但最近寫中文開始力不從心。 我的英文水平根本表達不了我的內心思想, 現在中文又漸漸褪色......於是我想起一個移民到美國的中年人曾經這麼說過: "不要放棄中文, 放棄了中文就連人都做不成!",我現在終於明白他的意思;但是我的外國人朋友又對我說,要學好外語,就必須放下毋語。有時候我會很矛盾,創作講求的是點子,連語言都掌握不好,更不用說什麼邏輯什麼修為。

那個是本?那個是末?英文不可棄,中文更不可棄。也許是我的中文根基不夠穩固,也許是因為我的英文詞彙不夠廣泛。但是兼而容之,談何容易?

浮生若水

May 04

久仰林夕大名,郤一直没有留意他的作品,直到最近聽到他為"太極"電視劇主提曲"浮生若水"所填的歌詞,不得不慨歎在現今粗製濫造的歌曲年代,還有人能用心寫出如此出色的詞。詞中把太極道家理論巧妙地和劇情意境相比襯融合,再注入現代主意和流行曲的原素,一擺傳統古裝主提曲的守舊陳腔,讓觀眾產生共鳴。總的來說,我認為"浮生若水"是一首成功的創新電視劇主提曲。

作曲:鄧智偉. 填詞:林夕

即使身處逆流未畏懼 

我兩手一轉勢便浮浪午睡

任潮浪再巨

也沖毀跌碎何妨學習輕舟懂得戲水

假使所愛流離在對岸

我的心肯輕放便難被碰撞

為誰而震蕩

沒法守便放

離離合合悲悲喜喜似水 別強擋

善莫善於水 輕與重 也借勢推送

柔弱莫弱於水 水轉動 卸去了心痛

容大莫大於水 將壓力化清風

磨到 頑石也融 將恨意歸空

不爭先氣度才無處覓

永遠不執於有敵才無固敵

動搖沒法靜

要懂得用勁

浮沉順逆轉身不沾背影 像泡影

善莫善於水 輕與重 也借勢推送

柔弱莫弱於水 水轉動 卸去了心痛容

大莫大於水 將壓力 化清風磨到 頑石也融 將恨意歸空

善莫善於水 水向下 退了也可進

柔弱莫弱於水 水舞動 哪裡要操控

容大莫大於水 山與岸 亦蓄擁

直到頑石失蹤 至望見清空
