Tears are Made of Ocean Waves
One time when my daughter was four years old, she cried over a trivial matter. She licked her tears.
I asked her, “What was the taste like? Was it salty? ”
She replied, “Tears are made of ocean waves.”
On the left-hand side screen, one sees our living room, and the changes of light and shadow on the floor. Our dog enjoys the sunshine on a winter morning. The elements of a living room-- curtains, a sofa, cushions, and a rocking horse-- are stark and simple, and yet they convey the magical feeling of home. The light and shadow follow the camera poetically to the twins on the right-hand side screen. The kids go roller-skating in a park, clunk happily on the piano, and delight in skipping the waves in Qixingtan, Hualian. Their daily life changes constantly, and yet it is comforting in the way it repeats all the same. Children’s talk is as bright as pearls. Text and images interweave to create more imagination for reading.
眼淚是海洋作的
女兒四歲時，一天為了雞毛蒜皮的事雙淚垂，她舔了舔眼淚。
我問：什麼味道，有鹹鹹的嗎？
她答：眼淚是海洋作的。
左銀幕以家庭客廳為場景，地板上迷人的光影變化，小狗享受冬日早晨陽光，窗簾、沙發、抱枕、木馬等充滿家庭氛圍的物件環繞其中，光影詩意地隨著鏡頭落到右螢幕的雙胞胎身上，孩子在公園溜直排輪、或生疏或愉快地練琴、到七星潭踏浪，這是日常，不斷變化也不斷循環。童言童語如珍珠般透亮，文字與影像的互文組合產生更多的閱讀想像。
