微笑 - Smile

住在這社區

鄰居遇見都會友善的互道日安。

每當遇到那位眉頭深鎖，

面容憔悴的鄰居太太帶著孩子們進出，

我都會含笑向她打招呼。

然而她總是面無表情，若有所思。

轉眼間

孩子們一個個長大，搬出去獨立生活。

偶然會在電梯，走廊看到她悠閒的身影。

今早走過社區花園旁時，

遠遠看到她燦爛的笑容，

對我大聲說了一句：「日安夫人」

我也報以微笑向她問安。

當下的我感到驚喜、快樂與感動。

看到一個人經過漫長歲月洗禮

的轉變⋯

我為她歡喜。

Live in this community

neighbors are greeting each other

whenever we meet. 

Except one Madame,

She often wore a worried frown,

weary , uneasy and frowning with her children.

I always said hello to them with smile.

However, she just looked at me blankly. 

It's been over so many years,

children have grown up and moved to live a life of independence. 

Occasionally to see her leisurely figure 

in the elevator or corridors.

As I walked past the garden this morning,

saw her with a bright smile from a distance and said aloud to me : 

“ Bonjour Madame “

I also greeted her with a smile. 

I am so amazed, happy and moved. 

Seeing a person's transformation 

over a long period of time…

i'm happy for her.

Elsa Schiaparelli （ 1890 - 1973 ）

in different fields ,

she was poet, artist…

with special source and inspiration of art.

And she began to contact with fashion 

when she were in Paris.

Her first creation of optical Illusion in 1927

has been unprecedented success.

So much painting, art…

as comeliness poems in her works.

With surrealism and innovative methods for elegant appearance, dynamic

in clothing.

Elsa Schiaparelli has many friends 

in the world of art

and keep on working with them.

Salvador Dali also collaborated  with her.

The  second world war outbreak forced her companies and factories to halt production.

However, until now, 

she still has so much influenced

for fashion stylists.

She reminds us …

but also her works of aesthetics, 

especially inheriting art and culture of living. 

維也納 - Vienna

記得年少時

曾來到充滿音樂的美麗都會維也納 -

莫札特，蕭邦，李斯特， 貝多芬，

舒伯特，海頓，

約翰史特勞斯等名家,

都曾駐足於此。

市區有經典歌德式古老美麗的

聖史蒂芬大教堂，

還有巴洛克式國立歌劇院⋯

漫步在街頭

傳來悠揚樂曲。

聽到那首『藍色多瑙河』時

天邊正飄下雨點

彷彿隨著華麗優美旋律起舞。

而今重遊舊地，

美景依然，

不同的是增添了許多時尚名店，

與絡驛不絕的觀光客乘坐馬車之馬蹄聲

傳遍大街小巷。

欣喜來到莫札特之家。

曾被音樂大師柴可夫斯基讚譽為

「音樂的救世主」的莫札特

他的作品總是如此輕盈純浄，

充滿活力。

音樂廳堂的樂曲飄掦在庭院⋯

天空顯得更湛藍亮麗。

When I was young,

once coming to Vienna -

The music metropolis,

Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, Schubert, 

Haydn and Joann Baptist Strauss had stopped here for their participation of music creations.

Gothic architecture Stephanasdom 

and Baroque opera house…

Gentle and graceful melody among 

the streets. 

When I heard 

“ the blue Danube “  

It was drizzling slightly

seemed danced to the graceful music gradually. 

Now and then,

here is still beautiful,

however, more fashion, exquisite boutiques

and tourists by horse-drawn vehicle.

We heard the horse's hoofs clattered everywhere.

Delighted to go to Mozart house.

Mozart had been complimented by Tchaikovsky : “ Messiah of music “

His musical compositions  and works

are always purely, slim, graceful

and full of vitality.

Melodious music 

went through the concert hall 

into the garden…

The sky looked more blue and brighter.

佛登斯列‧漢德瓦薩 Friedensreich Hundertwasser（ 1928 - 2000 ）

是奧地利20世紀末期最有名的藝術家。

他繪畫作品的哲學觀，

環保主義的建築設計⋯ 等多元藝術

充分表現他不同凡響的才華與見解。

維也納藝術之家

絢麗色彩，活潑生動的每個角落

令人感受生命的律動。

尤其是節能環保意識設計的建築作品

給予社會卓越貢獻。

他認為理性主義的思維方式

令我們以自然和萬物為代價，

投向稍縱即逝的文化與生活。

巳令我們的心、生活品質

瀕臨破裂。

的確，人類更需要以愛與和平對待自然萬物

這才是恆久的價值。

Friedensreich Hundertwasser

（ 1928 - 2000 ）

He is the most famous artist of late  20th century in Austria.

His philosophy of his paintings 

and environmentalism of architectural design…multicultural art 

fully express his extraordinary talent and insights.

Museum Hundertwasser -

Brilliant colors, lively every corner

make me feel the rhythm of life. 

Energy saving and environmental protection awareness design of his architectural works especially make outstanding contributions to society.

He thought the rationalist way of thinking would make us pay the price of nature and enforce the culture of transience and disposability.

Indeed, humans need love and peace to be with natural and all things.

This is the lasting value.
