Une jeune fille de 20 ans qui a quitté  l'université depuis un an pour mieux découvrir l'essence de la vie, mon amie Kris est une professionnelle dans les domaines de musique, de philosophie et d’anthropobiologie. Elle est née dans une famille du Yi (un groupe ethnique), au sud-ouest de la Chine. Elle maintien toujours avec moi une bonne relation amicale, libre, alcoolique, révolutionnaire et académique.

Kris

Yan(ip)

thai is an ethnic group or thailand?

Kris

didn't know you care so much for ethnic groups..actually my first stop is lao

cai,vietnam..thinking of doing some field research there

Kris

anthropology rocks

Yan(ip)

Yan(ip)

i love north-eastern asians

Kris

Kris

Yan(ip)

koreans suck

Kris

m'kay how about chinese?

Yan(ip)

nice

Yan(ip)

yummy

Kris

Yan(ip)

japanese r super

Kris

well..im actually going with a japanese hottie

Kris

her same is sanah and she's super hot and nice

Yan(ip)

well i m a chinese from the great north

Kris

have you read the Duras book?? titile sth like" lover from Northern China"

Yan(ip)

japanese chix r nice, u dont tell, be they sincere or not

Kris

dat's true..tho seem nice all the time

Yan(ip)

no i m very much interested tho

Kris

magarite duras is THE best writer in the world

Yan(ip)

i trust u, as always, in all the fields where im not learned

Yan(ip)

where can i get it

Yan(ip)

and this person is an american?

Kris

you can get her books in all the public libraries in france.she's french

Yan(ip)

cool. i will do it very soon

Kris

her most famous book LOVER is about her teenage relationship with a chinese man.she explores

all the erotic and philosophical human sensibilities in that book...it's been made into a

movie..casting Liang Jia Hui ..and surprisingly it's not bad actually...worth watching

Yan(ip)

in viet-nam?

Yan(ip)

i saw it actually

Kris

yes..all of that happened in vietnam

Yan(ip)

in a place called SIGON or so

Kris

rite...it's called ho chi minh city now

Yan(ip)

because of communism

Kris

rite..but saigon is a way much better name, very exotic

Yan(ip)

on that I can still sense the heavy french sensibilities in a normal french family

Kris

what's that like??heavy french sensibilities?

Yan(ip)

not exotic at all , very erotic tho

Yan(ip)

dunno how to describe in detail

Yan(ip)

a bit of tradition that has been lasting long, which is also superficial. not apparently

superficial like in the States

Yan(ip)

the superficial sensibility has been lasting too long, sweet jesus!!!!

Kris

superficial sensibility...reminds me of chinese

Yan(ip)

what chinese? Qianyishi lol no it’s not relative at all

Kris

how about family values? have you sense a bit of fake morality dominating?

Yan(ip)

this is a sorta traditonal philosophy that u can use a certain methodology to preview, not

like other dynamic ones that u youngsters think is cool and are willing to follow

Yan(ip)

so u may think this is boring or they r lazy. but despite whatsoever, they r happy

Yan(ip)

happiness lies just in the family value

Kris

it's probably true

Yan(ip)

we need to restrict our mentality before getting happier

Yan(ip)

this is a good model of culture-prison

Yan(ip)

the best so far i've ever seen

Kris

knowing how to restrict and tolerate is the only path to freedom and happiness

Yan(ip)

true, girl. we have drawn the conclusion, which is cliché

Kris

you can always deconstruct cliche first then build it again in another language..this is

what we do

Yan(ip)

it's fakely innovative to be multilingual, then

Kris

multilingual is more about perspectives i think...you can hardly expect to be smarter by

being multiligual,but it sure makes you flexible and easier to get along

Yan(ip)

and unluckily when it comes to mix up with the cultures, u may find u r confused. so i

guess the best way is to stay well in one language while exploring the corresponding

culture

Yan(ip)

so precisely, dialects and accents serve greatly

Yan(ip)

not to mention vocabulary

Kris

i dont know what's best...but knowing one foreign culture can save your life sometimes when

u are being murdered by one...taking alternatives is not optional for everyone

Yan(ip)

if u think u r suffering from one, ok.... but multiculturalism is not made for taking

alternatives, but to pursue and absorb happiness while shifting. gosh when u r doing that,

u feel high

Yan(ip)

like u can taste sweetness both from communism and confucius or even Falungong

Yan(ip)

not to mention religions and cultures... life is beautiful, girl

Kris

absorb happiness? i think that depends on your whole philosophy.but there's a presumption

that everyone is a rationalist

Yan(ip)

true. natural sciences help me lot

Yan(ip)

being an extremist or foolish is not that bad, as long as sweetness exists

Kris

but for someone who totally have no identity like me...it's difficult to to be certain or

extreme or foolish about anything..thus sweetness cannot be gained

Kris

im just pathetic or on the other hand everything is born to be meaningless

Yan(ip)

so i would say the essence is that i am extremely adaptable. adaptability, in normal view,

is the opposition of extremity. but being adaptively extreme is dangerous. knowledge thus

is gained to torture ur life

       Un baiser d’adieu  Yan  01/01/2007

Quand le train est parti
Le cœur est sorti

Quand on s’est dit bonne année
Les larmes désormais se sont tues
Un coup d’œil sur le passé
Un baiser d’adieu sans vue

Je demande
A la pluie en Bretagne
A la rue vers Paris
Qui me précisera la retrouvaille?
