I never pay too much attention on movie or TV stars, the reason: firstly, I don't have much time watching TV; secondly, once I was absorbed by a TV series, I would feel so regret if I missed it due to frequent
business trip or meeting. Therefore, no view no regret.
However, I knew Little Swallow instead, when my daughter was screaming for her, when the wall in her bed room was full of countless big eyes, when my daughter occupied the single TV set in my house, I was forced to know her -- "The Little Swallow".
The TV drama "Princess Huanzhu" (HGZZ) brought Little Swallow flying into millions of family. All in a sudden, Zhao Wei became so hot all over the country. I was falling love with her pair of big eyes at the first sight. They are so rare in the yellow-race. They are so pure without any flaw, they are so sincere that make your mood like blue sky without any clouds. In fashion words, Little Swallow is a cutie-beautie, she is so nature and vivid that easily cheers you up like bringing you spring breeze. Life is too frustrating, the appearance of this mischievous girl cheered up millions of people in deed, she brought a shower of happiness to the whole country, and made an unprecedented record of several dozens of TV stations in China playing HZGG at the same time.
After that, I was too busy to care about Little Swallow. I just found myself carelessly humming one or two familiar lyrics, a rainy butterfly silently touched my heart. Or, when I cleaned up my daughter's room, my eyes would contact with the big eyes on the wall.
"Love until heart breaks, no one should be blamed, because our meet is already too beautiful..."
Yes, meet is very beautiful, no matter with man or woman. So I kept Little Swallow in my mind, I hummed this song, in a joyful mood or in a dreadful mood.
The next time I saw Little Swallow was on 21st July, in the CCTV3 program "Art Life". Little Swallow leaned on a bar-seat which was held by two steel pipes. When I was worried if they could hold the weight of 100kg, I suddenly caught the big eyes covered by long hair. I almost burst into tears!
Were they eyes of Little Swallow? No! No! They were still so big in size, still sharply black and white, but, where is the pure happiness and innocence?
During the interval TV commercial, my daughter showed me a pile of newspaper and magazines. So many media were focusing on her, positive or negative, but too many of personal attack. Today, with binoculars and cameras all around, even ordinary people have no guarantee to keep their privacy, not to mention those pop-stars. But Little Swallow is just a girl, if spying on stars' private life is attributed to people's curiosity, then why cannot people have more leniency and less harshness? Every one has his personality, which is hard to be described or imitated, personality shows his own charm. However, many of the media and folks are stifling others' personality. Every one hopes the others follow his style of life, we've been educated in this way, since we were ever born. Vicious circle! That's why our folks
are suffering from tiredness, pop-stars' situation is worse, Little Swallow's is the worst. For a girl just over 20 years old, such a stormy experience was too cruel. So she cried in front of the public for more than once. The tear drops fell from her eyes must be very big in size, heavy in weight.
The program ("Art Life") was going on, Little Swallow was answering host and audience' questions, with caution and careful considerations. A gentle boy asked such a question, "Zhang Zi-yi, Zhou Xun, Xu Jing-lei and you are chosen to be four top actresses in China. Within the four, in which place you think you are?" In silent for a while, Little Swallow answered, every one has her own characteristic, it is hard to make a comparison. That boy pushed forward, "Please answer the question straightly."
"We belong to different types, how can you tell which type is the best?" She answered, with a very calm and sincere tune. It seemed plain but convincing. That boy who raised the question relieved his feelings and said, "Now, I know, you will never cry in front of the camera lens."
Audience on site applauded, while my heart was sinking and sinking. I felt a kind of tragedy sense in Little Swallow. An outstanding and prospective girl of some 20 years old turned to be some kind of sophisticated... Little Swallow smiled in the applause, at the same time, tears burst out of my
eyes.
Little Swallow, are you still able to fly without any anxieties?
