Just finished watching a great new hongkong movie " Wu Cien Dao."
The lyric of the song is great.
Certainly, it will become a hot song for Kareoke....

This lyric induces me to think about WCK....
Just some thoughts.... about WCK, Chan... future of WCK...



------------
Wu Cien Dao ( Un interval Way) (translation of lyric)



No, I am not willing to conclude.
I have not concluded.
(This) un ended journey.
Look at me, The non stop foot steps.
(I) have forgotten where am I located.


Who can change one's life span
Who understood how scary is Eternity.
Who realized living often is much cruel then faith
It is just no one willing to admit (one has) lost.

We all continously keep our foot steps (but) have forgotten about Way out.
Within (our) hopeless (we) search for temperaly satisfaction.
We all release our pain while awake within dreaming (while we sleep)
Drifting in the place where light is dimming
Can't reach the final destination, return to the starting point.
"Enjoy" that never ending journey.


Since there is no ending and return to the starting point.
I think we all never mind about it at all.

While Acting for audiance within this journey, we act dumb.
While Recalling the past within this journey, we act numb.
Within this "close relationship" in this Un interval path
Let me imitate (copy) you (on what you do) , you imitate me.
How can we be "lonely"? "


------------------------------------




The revolution has failed.
The Hung Mun and Taiping had lost to the Qing.
Our so called advance martial art doesnot gain us victory against Qing army
and the western fire arms.
Ancestors fleets.....
No one said this is not sad.


It is 2003, 163 years after 1840.
Red boat era has long gone....
He who still following the foot step of the revolutionist's Un interval path
have a choice to let go and travel the way out and free...and living in this
instant.
or keep figthing the Qing in the past.



"We all continously keep our foot steps (but) have forgotten about Way out.
Within (our) hopeless (we) search for temperaly satisfaction.
We all release our pain while awake within dreaming (while we sleep).
Drifting in the place where light is dimming
Can't reach the final destination, return to the starting point.
"Enjoy" that never ending journey......"


In the name of Chan or Siu Lien Tau some keep on fighting.... fighting.
In the name of Chan or Siu Lien Tau some got the way out.



Which is the teaching of the Buddhas of ten direction and past, present, and
future?
Fighting or let go?
You make the choice.
Who can change one's living beside oneself?
How can spring come if Winter eternally never gone?

Second movie I watched title: Hero

A great movie.

The philosophy in the movie state that

for third level sword man:
his hands has sword thus his sword is fast.

for second level sword man:
his hands has no sword but sword in the heart thus he can use Sword Qi...

for first level sword man:
both his hand and heart has no sword. Thus.... Hero...


In chinese, there is a term : Chien Dee (mandarin) or the Ground of Vision.
Capability can be easily check with one's Chien Dee.
Only he or she with the Chien Dee can desribe specifics in details.... very details.


Such as, if Taxi driver in LA can tell one about LA in no time and in details.

Those are old chinese way of transmition.. ... on Chan's mind seal.... kung fu.....
But, one can only see that in the movie like Hero only now.

That too has long past similar with the red boat era...

I read from newspaper that "Wu Cien Dao" has a slightly different version specially released for mainland China and SEA markets. The reason is that these markets prefer good over evil. So Tony Leung didn't die. Different markets, different endings. Guess what happened in the elevator is open for imagination.

I happened to have bought the mainland version (which is cheaper). After watching I felt I should have bought the HK version which is in Cantonese. Guess I prefer my own dialect over others, Cantonese has more of that HK feel than Mandarin or Fujianese. People choose to write/read in the language that is more natural to them.

Second one I watched was "Minority Report". Eventhough the guys know what their future is like and tragic paths seem inevitable. They still have a choice to turn things around and pull themselves out at the very critical moment.

I see "Wu Cien Dao" here in this forum, yet everyone still has a choice.

Matrix 2 and X-men 2 should be good......

Good never die because it is good.

The people in Wu Cien Dao will find way out only when they found out they don't have to hugging a wood and walk around. they can be free and live freely and respect other's freedom.

Often people hugging wood will think they are the saviour of the world. But doesn't realized they have been trap by thier transparent belive......




That is Wu Cien Dao
No I am not concluded
I am would not like to concluded.....

That is how one spiral in....
They thought they win but they have sunk.
