pieces。|| wondering Shanghai。漫步上海。may.夏.2012 ||

 

I love wondering in the city that I am living in. I sometimes believe that the beauty of the city is on the street.


我很喜歡漫步在我居住的城市裡。因為我常常覺得城市最美麗的一切往往都在街道上巷弄裡。



Shanghai, for me is full of various cultures and makes me feel really curious about it. I feel like it's a lady in a very fancy Qipao.


對我來說, 充滿文化衝擊的上海,總是令我十分好奇。有時讓我覺得她就像是一位穿著優雅旗袍的女人。



This lady has very classic appearance. She wears Qipao all the time, but when you look close to the detail, it somehow adopted some elements from the west. Maybe the cutting, or the print. Make her look modern but still classic.


她雖看似古典優雅, 但是仔細看看她的旗袍就能發現有著很多西方的影子。可能是剪裁可能是印花, 都讓她看起來多添加了一點摩登時尚的氣息。




She loves making friends from all over the world. She is always open mind and curious about everything, but she can be quite conservative in the way of thinking and traditions. Because after all, she is a Lady.


她很愛交朋友, 世界各地的朋友。在這典雅的外表下其實是充滿著好奇心跟能夠接受所有文化的廣大胸懷。但是其實在某些程度上還是十分保守內向的。誰叫她怎樣都還是個有家教的東方女性。(這裡形容的是上海這個城市, 不完完全全是指上海女人)




Why I see Shanghai more like a woman than a men, probably because it's a city that can be so relax and sentimental, also elegant and careless. Like all of us. Very Contradiction.


為什麼我說上海就像是個女人而不是男人, 可能因為這個城市給我的感覺時而放鬆時而感性, 有時優雅但也有時粗獷。就像我們所有女人一樣, 十分矛盾。




So Cheers Shanghai, hope I can know you better one day.


所以...乾杯上海。希望在未來的日子裡能對你有更深的瞭解。
