EL: The Sky is Blue and Black
Well have been visiting many relatives and friends and find that “All happy families are alike, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”.--- TolstoyLL’s wife is quite beautiful. They say her own family is much richer than LL’s, so LL’s family is always looked down upon by his wife’s family. Poor LL! He and his parents are rather rich and respectable among us.
XX’s wife turns out to be a vixen. She is stupid, lazy, selfish, wasteful, uneducationed and bad-temper. Once XX quarreled with his wife, his wife threathened to throw their son off from the seventh floor. XX is unhappy. But it is his choice. Who asks him to marry her?
AA is 70 years old now. This time she looks much older than last time. In many people’s eyes, she is very good luck. Her family is a little richer than other common families. Yet her son died last year because of over-drinking.
MM’s husband is ill today. MM feels that life is quite meaningless. Yes, her life is also better than the majority, yet her husband is ill recently and they don't have any child. So even though they have so much money, yet life is quite meaningless.
FF always sighed in the phone that life is meaningless too. Her husband is not good to her. Her son is not good to her. Her beloved father is far in another country. She always says that ten years ago when she still lived in the poor village she was much happier. Now she is in a developed country, but she has lost her happiness.
TT’s eldest son suddenly becomes paralytic. But they are so poor that they don't have enough money to cure their son.
JJ has a stroke. Can not believe it. He is just in his 40s. I still remember before he liked to show off his money. He and his brother are richer than the others. At those times he always liked to show off his money, his house, his car, and his business. Now he has a stroke. They use up all their money and borrow much money. His wife goes to other city, they say she goes to earn money, but who knows what she is doing in that far place! So this is exactly that saying: thirty years up and down. Don't be too arrogant when you are rich. You can’t always sit on top of the hill.

People always ask what fate is. By watching people's life and living our own life, we can get the answer...The bad is the shadow of the good. They are not opposite. They are twins.
Yes… I look up. The sky is blue and black.

Just two things that...
I think the good sometime is the shadow of the bad too! :-)
And the sky for me, it’s blue, black, grey and white, sometime red! :-)
And then, I might go a little off the subject, but pardon me I admire your quick speed and of writing new blogs as though you were writing Chinese! What's your secret?
Not so terrible in my case.
And I forget, its a little violet too.
That is when the sunset going down near the blue sea… :-)
Hi mimi.
Yes, the good comes after the bad. We should have some hopes.
Actually when I wrote this blog I was listening to a song. Its name is “tian hei tian lan”. When translated, it should be like this: The sky is blue and black. An old song I listened ten years ago.
Sunrise and sunset will make the clouds and sky red or orange or pink or yellow. Beautiful.
Hi yan.
If my memory is not wrong, this sentence should be the first sentence I could read when I opened Tolstoy’s novel “Anna Karenina” many years ago. It was written in Russian first. Of course I read the Chinese translated version.
The secret… I guess the real life is the source of writing, no matter it is a long novel or just some simple, short, casual words. My cs blog is just some simple, short, casual words
Hi hugh1. thanks. Yes, perhaps those stories are too messy. But I guess you just need to read the beginning and the end, then you can get the message.
Hi ben. Yes. There is something called “insecurity” or “fear”. From the earliest beginning of human beings, insecurity and fear have taken root in out hearts. Though we claim human beings are complicated advanced creatures, however, in 21st century, we still can not get rid of them.
Good night everybody!!
