You cannot see the pictures ?
I can see them without any problem. |
Same here.
Jing, you could see my pictures, right? My first thought was maybe photobucket (Eri's and mine pics are on photobucket) is restricted in China, but this cannot be the reason. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Thanks Heike for confirming.
I hope you can see them, jing. Was it because too many photos at one time and taking long time ?
BTW,I noticed the thing I didn't see carefully at the time.
If you see the last two pictures about Yip Man's clothes.
"Close and Hat of Yip Man" (These kind of mistakes quite often seen in Japan as well.) |

yitian,
Not closed yet. A little more.
jing, thanks for the information.
Lin Zexu is certainly very important person in the history of HK and China.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lin_Zexu
I can understand the meaning of the couplet, but I cannot translate into English. (Perhaps direct translation is not understandable)
Something like, "Even if you want to know a secret of a long life, it is not possible" "Don't be greedy, know enough and stay humble." ˇH
If someone can explain it, please do. |

Thanks jing for pointing out the couplet, there is always never-ending learning process . It’s great to see the photo of the street where Ip Man came from (培德里叶, hihi). Thanks for sharing jing .
Wow, what can I say, Eri, thanks for all the pics, plus the translation of the couplet . I was wondering whether you took a photo with your goodself sitting on the stairs; and then superimpose it with a screenshot from The Grandmaster international (also US) version .
You are right, Eri, that simple translation of the couplet will get everyone lost. A scholar could write a long essay based on these 2 lines. Here is little information I dug out of the web: 嵇康 (Ji Kang, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ji_Kang), aka 嵇中散 and 马少游 (Ma Shaoyou) are 2 famous historic figures mentioned in the couplet. Ji Kang was a Chinese author, poet, Taoist philosopher, musician etc; he wrote several books on healthy living. Ma Shaoyou was famous for longing an easy and carefree life. A simple and straight translation of the couplet would be “Learn nourishing life from 嵇中散; Match life satisfaction to 马少游”. I hope Lin Zexu would not tumble in his grave when his spirit saw my translation here…... |

yitian,
Actually, I had a photo taken sitting on the stairs.
Thanks for explaining the couplet. Now I understood. I didn't know that last 3 characters were names, so I thought that was part of the poetry or something. (or kind of double meaning with these names ?)
One Chinese character possibly mean so much, it is very difficult to translate it in other languages. I really felt that when I was watching The Grandmaster.
I had to check a lot of things after watching the movie.
Helga,
Thanks for enjoying all of these with us. |

Thanks
It looks to me that people actually live there, in Chikan Village. I wonder where did they go when WKW rented the entire street for 3 years in order to shoot his film ?
AND, I forgot to mention , Eri, your picture taking skill is really good . |
