I always wanna tell the story to my classmates or someone speaking English. But I never had the opportunity. Seems that no one cares and no one wants to listen to me, as my poor English.
The wall I use of my computer is a picture of a Korean TV-series. In one sentence, the story is about a princess who fell in love with the prince of her enemy country. A classic tragedy, as my studio professor said, who is the only one knows the story here.
But the tragedy has more dimensions rather than the love story.
The princess was supposed to be killed when she was a baby by another wife of her father, who killed several persons to make sure her daughter was the only princess to inherit the Crown.
Her name is Ziming, which means crying by herself to arise someone's attention to let her be saved. Ziming was later the name of the drum supposed to protect the country, by sounding by itself to kill enemys.
Separated from her own country and parents for more than ten years, she met them again as the arrangment of destiny. Her sister also had a crush on the prince of enemy country who loves Ziming but has to take advangtage of the only princess of the country.
Ziming chose to protect her country and betrayed her lover, while her sister did oppositely. The country extincted at last, and Ziming became the only one had to fight with the strong enemy. She said that her parents as well as her country, although who never did anything for her, mean so much to her. The position of them in her mind, however, sitll couldn't win the prince. But she still couldn't betray her country, the only thing she chose is to leave her lover and then try to kill him. She was born for safeguard.
Ziming stands for love, faith, courage, protection, sense of responsibility, kindness and sacrifice.
While her sister, who destroyed the drum for the prince, seems to be selfish and foolish, maybe also deserve forgiving.
There are always two faces of one person, one is Ziming, one is her sister. Sometimes you have to do what you should do, but you still have the right to do what you want to, even there is a conflict. This is the tragedy of everyone's life and destiny.
Did you find your prince in life? Do you know what's the real precious to protect in your whole life?
