I have been feeling rather tired as of late and wondering whether it is the warm weather that is making me feel this way. Andrew suggested that I make an appointment to see the doctor. I don't feel however , in this moment in time that it is necessary. I know there is a condition known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - I hope I haven't got that...
My favourite movie of all time is The Joy Luck Club - it is a film based on the experiences of four Chinese mothers who fled China in the 1940's and their very Americanized daughters. I first watched it way back in 1994 and it moved me to tears every time I used to watch it. It is a story of tragedy, personal sacrifice, bravery and strength. The film is based on a novel by author Amy Tan which became a phenomenal success worldwide.. Amy herself as a child was not happy with her outward Chinese appearance as she was growing up.....and felt she did not fit in as far as American society was concerned. Anyone who is interested in Chinese culture should definitely watch this film! (See bottom of page for trailer.)
