人生如舞台
舞台如人生
人生随岁月流逝而变化
舞台随角色充实而丰盛
舞台是一面镜
把人生反影得无所遁形
角色是一串水银
无孔不入地投射到观众
的眼中 脑中
不断的钻动     钻动     钻动
人生如舞台
舞台如一面镜
不断地转变

A lonely drinker under the moon. Taken from a poem, Lee Pai the poet danced with the moon and his shadow.

花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。 举杯邀明月，对影成三人。 月既不解饮，影徒随我身。
暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。 我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。 醒时同交欢，醉后各分散。
永结无情游，相期邈云汉。
《月下独酌》李白

A group pf youngster living in hopeless and fearfulness. They want to tell others about their unlucky fortune.

你关心他们吗？你认识他们吗？你愿意坐下来听他们说一些心中话吗？|

I’m getting older……..

我已逐渐老去，在等待的岁月里，昨日的壮志风华，已飘落成雪，在发际里，亦如乡愁。已在脸上侵蚀出斑驳的文里，如果生命是往事和希望成长的历程，在将有限的明天里，我将只剩下回忆。
