Kite 風箏

 

有人說: 夫妻關係就要像風箏，要懂得放手才能飛得高。再讀一次，這句話我有不同的體會，放風箏的人终究還是拿著線。我想，没有人能藉由一條線（或任何方式）去控管另一個人，每個人都有權利安排自己的生命、生活。

Some said the relationship between husband and wife is like flying the kite.  We need to give the other the freedom to fly, so it will fly high.  I can not agree. Because one still holds the string and decide for the other.  I think the bond between the two should be invisible and no one have the right to use the string to control the other. 

The past few days, Suzhou was covered in the Sand-dust-storm.  I suffered from respiratory problems especially during my sleep. For 3 nights, I had to struggle to breathe and wake myself up, otherwise I might had been dead in sleep.  I spent lots of time cleaning the house and doing the laundry during daytime.  Yesterday the weather was a bit better. The sand dust level was reduced a lot.  We went out to a Farm restaurant.  In the evening, we flew the kite. We had been swimming on the Sundays the whole winter.  It was the first time we went outing this spring.  This is my second Spring in China.  I am not as surprised by the spring flowers as I was last year.  But I still appreciate the spring blossoms very much.

Kite-flying 风筝的季节

Again, Winston and I went out to the park to fly kite on this windy day. This time we used our new kite, bigger and better. No much effort, the kite was high in the sky. The wind and the quality of our new kite just made it possible for us to sit and eat on the ground while flying our kite. We only need to make little adjustment when the wind changed.

To some point, family relationship is like the string of the kite. If the string is too short, or if we are afraid to let go, the kite can never fly high. However, without the string, the kite would easily fly along with the wind without any pull and fall unrecoverable very soon, even for the best kite.

For parents, if they always keep their kids so close on sight, their kids could never reach some point high. Parents give advice when needed so their kids would not lose themselves in the turbulence of society chaos.

The same may apply to the relationship between husband and wife, between friends, and maybe between people and God.


最近的气候很适合放风筝，在Park放风筝後，回到家里，往窗外看还是一堆风筝在天上飞，好一个风筝的季节。这时候，如果不想放风筝，千萬别到公园或绿地，因为会不断有卖风筝的人走到你面前推销，直到你也放上一个风筝才罢休。

Some food and water for a picnic.

Go for Kite-flying!

This kite flies so easily. I can sit, eat, and fly kite at the same time. Piece of cake!

Kite 风筝

After lunch，Winston and I went out to fly kites. We saw some frogs in the waterway of the park, and one toad. Frogs were too sly to be photoed, but the toad stood still for some time so we were able to take some pictures of it. The wind was strong intermittently,instead of continuously. It was not easy to fly our kite. But we made it twice high in the sky. On the way back, Winston took pictures of many objects. If he was not in the picture, he was the one holding the camera. He even took a picture of his own shadow.

金鸡湖看风筝，溜直排輪

天氣好，我们走去金鸡湖溜直排輪，花了不少时间穿上装备。今天人多风大，很多人在放风筝，晴空下飘扬着各式风筝，好像上演了一场风筝秀。我们找了一个人较少的区域溜直排輪玩抓人的游戏。
