昂贵生活:生活的代价

说不出这片子英冠算是轻喜剧还是什么,很好奇为什么有人给了它喜剧的标签.

看完片子,似乎从中找到了自己,也发现了别人. 也许最像自己的,就是那个窘迫的餐厅老板. 当然我比他还要窘迫, 但是当我看他的心理活动描写时, 感觉简直就是在审视自己.

不仅仅是发现了自己的影子, 同样发现了别人, 这不是给人一一对号入座, 而是, 生活中这样的人的确存在着, 并且存在着许许多多的典型, 有很多正是你所认识或熟知的.

这片子不由让我想起刚才收到的两封邮件, 我不知道它的真假, 但我情愿相信它是真的. 那是一个患绝症的老太太, 希望用自己毕生积蓄的300万美元帮助那些需要帮助的儿童.

第一封是自我介绍:

My dearest in the lord,

Love and Greetings to you in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you very much for your mail which I received with thanks. Thank you also for your sincerity in this matter. I want you to devote yourself for this mission, to the Glory of our God in heaven. There is no special process on this matter, as much as you can co-operate with me. I will be very interested for this fund to be released to you for Gods work as much as you keep to your sincerity in this matter. I am rest asured that through you on this fund, God will save many souls and build Kingdom for himself, to his own Glory ( Amen ).

There is no specific church for this money to be used in. Motherless Homes and also the less priviledged ones. Beloved, I have no doubt that you will handle this mission effectively. As soon as you receive this money in your bank account, I will want you to withdraw money from it and comedown here to take me with you to your Country where I shall be treated and where I will mornitor the Use of this money by His Grace. May God help you in Jesus Name.

As a Christian the first thing I did before contacting you was to deny the devil, despart my condition I went into fasting and praying, After that, it occured to me to write you after all the contacts before me. I hope that you will not betray this confidence I am about building on you. I therefore want your maximum co-operation in this regard so that we can work hand in hand to make this objective a success.

I want you to be honest and work with me on this as I STAND in AGREEMENT with you in the prescence of God Almighty. So you are free to come for us to see face to face, if you wish. I pray that God will keep me alive until then.

Again I will want you to always remember me in your daily prayers over my condition. I know that doctors has proposed but my faith tells me that God surely will intervane .But even if death should come now nobody will lay claim over this money, automatically the financial institution will claim it. Therefore, I will appreciate your effort in this matter to be a little bit faster. As for death, I will have nothing to regret for I have accepted Christ and He knows every thing about my life. Please, I do not expect any delay from you as my health condition cannot be predicted.
As I told you on my last mail, this money ( 3 Million Dollars ) is secured in a Bank here in Abidjan Cote d'ivoire by my husband before his death.

i would like you to pray over it and commit it in the hand of God according to the book of Proverb chapter 16 vs 3. If you do that, God will direct you.

我回复了她,因为我情愿相信这一切是真的,也希望她在上帝召唤她之前能够幸福,快乐:

Dear Madame,


Thanks so much for you email and the kindness in it, May God bless you for always, I'm sure He will.

First of all, May I ask you a question about helping the children? I'm not sure that whether you're willing to help those children suffered from the holocaust during the war in Gaza Strip. The thing is that they are muslims. I understand what your religion is and that's why I ask you this question. Nonetheless, frankly speaking, I believe that no matter what religion it is, the basic principal of a religion includes helping the poor and suffered. Perhaps some people would say that helping those Palestinian children might be viewed as feeding the terrorists, but I have to say: No. We can't blame on these children just because their parents or their families hate the Zionists. What we should do is not ignore them or desert them but help them reduce the hatred in their hearts by using our love on them. Nobody can predict a future for anybody even if we have the magical Tarot cards. However, we could doing something at least for the love of God in different religion, at least we could do something positive to get this world right because we're living under the same sun, and we're all human beings. Why can't we use our love on them?

In fact, I started a program for providing humanitarian aid to those children suffered from the holocaust in the confilct in Gaza Strip. Although I'm not a Christian nor a Muslim, I believe that we can't live without love. Love is not only about ourselves and our families and our friends, it's more about respecting the human being and helping them as much as we can. Under this consideration, I decided to hold a charity concert in Beijing in order to collect enough donation for the hospital in Gaza helping them buying some highly-needed medicines, medical treatment, hiring doctors and buying food and water for those homeless children. Besides, I wish this charity concert could call for more and more attention from the Chinese civilians to the people who really need help and love. During the planning of this charity concert, hundreds of thousands of friends offered various types of help and support, some of them helped me contact the bands we need, while others helped me communicating with the media and NGOs. All these efforts and kindness are warmly appreciated whereas I do find it hard to cover all the aspects because it needs a team which work together neck and neck to realize this dream, or let's say, this project. The most important thing is that, since this charity was started by me, who's a purely civilian without lots of social resources nor capital, everything's moving slowly, far beyond the speed it needs. But, no matter how difficult it might be, I won't giving my efforts until I realize this dream. May God understands me and bless us.

I'm not sure whether you're interested in my plan. I wish I could communicate with you by all means. My mobile phone can't dial the number overseas but it can receive the calls from other countries. If you like, I would like to tell you my plan and the progress of it by far.

My mobile phone is: 86-138-1082-8074. Also, my msn is: mynameisiloveu@hotmail.com. My email: mynameisiloveu@hotmail.com/mynameisiloveu@gmail.com
I can speak fluent English, Chinese and a little Spanish. Call me Galano,plz.

Finally, wish you good luck all the way and may God bless you, dear Madame.

Peace,
Galano
