Sorry, Fan Xian, move over as the sex symbol of this drama. Wang Qinian has just become an example which all men should follow and a goal for women to aspire to.
when the “leaders” of the world are doing everything they can to scare us, I published my photography book full of erotic, sensual joy of life… A moment to continue to enjoy the pleasures of life?
We, the humans, do not want war. And when the cruelly ill perverts in the swamp of politics dream of venting their terrifying total impotence in fantasies of destruction and spreading hatred, we should remember what distinguishes humans from the inhuman warmonger: our ability to love, to give joy, warmth and security.
“Even if I knew that the world ended tomorrow, I’d plant a tree today” is a well known quote that expresses what I think and feel: let’s give each other and enjoy the best of what we have and live every moment we can, grateful and loving.
For my artistic work, this means that despite all threats I continue to portray the beauty of erotic pleasure, sensual desire, in my photographs.
Or maybe even: now more than ever!
Young women, no matter from where in this world and also without any experience, are welcome as nude models to express in my photographs their joie de vivre despite everything, their hope and desire for a future of friendship, full of intensity and passion (contact me per email [email protected], sessions/travel expenses paid, conditions apply).
I love how Fan Xian while sensible is also fucking over the top extra.
You want me to write a great poem in order to win a bet? Fine, I’m gonna fucking write one of the BEST poems in history with my mediocre calligraphy.
You telling me I can’t execute the murderer of my friend? Fine, I’m gonna fucking walk up to him in the middle of the fucking day and stab him till he fucking dies.
You want me to prove I didn’t rip off a great sage’s poem? Fine, I’m gonna get smashed and RECITE 300 of the best fucking poems ever written in Chinese history, and make you puke blood based purely on my skill with words.
You accusing me of invading the palace? Fine, you can check my semi nude body to see just how NOT hurt I am, AND make you APOLOGISE to my sister.
Crowd yelling at me for being from another country? Fine, I’m gonna jump on top of this carriage, unroll my country’s flag (just happen to be your enemy), and I’m gonna fucking challenge all of you fuckers.
And these ar just some that jumps straight to mind, there is so much more.
my one tiny regret about recommending Joy of Life to non-chinese viewers is how culturally specific some of the humour is
i know so many people who loved it through english subs because there’s more than enough to love, but believe me when i say that it’s 3x better in chinese
like zhang ruoyun’s thick Beijing accent and modern speech juxtaposed against the ancient setting (like, i’m pretty sure he’s the truest Beijinger out of all popular actors of his generation)
and the underwear joke (internal treasury sounds exactly like underwear)
and the fact that they named a character fansizhe (Versace) and they kept saying his name?!
Watch“Joy of Life” they said, it will be fun, they said… I was laughing, but I was also fecken crying!!!
I was in the countryside and for some reason, tumblr wasn’t working on my travel laptop (it’s light, easy to bring around but has an old operating system, needs updating). What to do while lounging? Well, watch Asian drama! Bad decision really, relaxing flies out the window and you get really invested. Defeats the whole purpose of going to the country and not doing anything!
My“Dramapocalypse“ peeps, why, oh, why, do you give me dramas with the most convoluted plots?!!! Unfortunately for me, I loved this!!! but most unfortunate of all is… it’s not bloody finished!!! and it looks like, we are going to wait for a long while… and some of the cast might not be the same because of scheduling issues, and talent fee issues, which means the plot line might drastically change!!! You must really hate me to make me love this and make me wait!!!! I was blissfully ignorant of this cdrama!!! Why did you all drag me into this!!! (I know, I know, loads of exclamation points!!!)
‘Uncle’ Wu Zhu was… whoaaaaa, *fans self* Come to think of it, majority of the characters that I love are the strong stoic types.
I love, love Little Bamboo - Xiǎo Zhúzi! Sad that he did not have many screen time. Oh, and I’m 100% sure he is an AI!
So, my dear “Horsemen”… I’m not going to listen to you anymore!!!
