George Santayana, a Harvard university professor, inherited a fortune while he was 50. During his class on a beautiful april morning, he saw robins singing outside on top a tree. He grasped the beauty and, turning around, announced, "Gentlemen, I have a date with spring." He walked away and never came back.
It is such a romantic life that I can't afford. But as Li Ao, one famous Taiwan writer, say, I am pessimistic with my reason but optimistic with my sentiment. I always wait and expect my date with spring. Anyway, I will have a one week vacation in the spring festival week this year. So, at least, I have a date with spring festival for 7 days.
Recently, I have a chance to sit on a girl's car re-listening to the theme song of "I have a date with spring(我和春天有個約會)", a musical turned movie in Hong Kong. The story is about the friendship of four ladies in a humble musical production house. Though with low budget, it stirred quite some rememberance of nostagic stories with lovers and friends back then in the early 90s.
