First of all, I am extremely grateful to Mr. Gdufs and Ms. Seib, for their enlightening. They have been witnessing and guiding in my everyday struggle I have experienced during these years. Without them, I can never imagine how hard the job would be to bullshit within 31,932 letters, or rather, 6,600 words, in English especially!

    I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to Ms. Library who assisted me with her wondrously limited resources to obtain invaluable data for my thesis. It is her generous help that made me wonder if her office really worth .2 billion RMB.

    Many other people gave their hands to assist me during this long journey in the dark. For instance, Mr. Google and Ms. PC never failed to remind me to take a timely rest during a hard work. From time to time, they hanged down to warn me with the importance of keeping the work-life balance. Even after being reseted, they showed me nothing but a dead-end. An other sort of health-advocates is my room-mates, they saw noisy or dirty movies, played guitars or sang F-songs, drove the pig into market and I am highly entertained by and appreciated with all of their efforts.

    It is simply impossible to acknowledge all the help I have got from my surrounding in detail. All their kindness and help will imprint on my mind forever. Because during composing this paper, I feel I’ve been fucked million times a day—and what’s worse, I felt good!

Today would be a day to remember, for I am going to buy a camera, a dream one—LOMO. Hesitation makes coward, and I think I was. That’s why LOMO have become my dream so long but never come true. Sometimes, I have to admire the French people—even though they wanna be distinguished, they share something in common, that’s art-loving, with all their hearts, with utter purity. I once mentioned that to Athena; she just gave me a smile in return, seeming she didn’t understand completely, but I do really mean it. As a trend of “just shooting”, a fashionably casual vision, a style, an art, a sort of philosophy, in a word, a kind of feeling-free.

This time when I am home, I talked about my childhood with my parents. Such conversation just simply started—I cannot even memorize the starting points. Mama said that I was a timid guy when I was young, and she said if I hit my childhood album, I would totally agree with her. She’s right! I would! And if you guys are lucky enough to look at those worm-eaten pictures, you would, too, because what you would see is a little boy seldom smiled, esp. in front of the cameras. Consequences laid in my sub-consciousness; even today I can see their tails. The timid little boy was scared with standing before the lens for he thought snapping seemed formal; he took it dead serious, no smiles, never mention feeling-free…

Before Buying LOMO

At KFC

I bought it! A LOMO Holga Flash Camera! It’s not a decent time to write blog but to “just shoot”. See ya, guys…
