也許 我從來不是一個好孩子，
Maybe… I have never been a good son/daughter
也許 我管不住自己的叛逆，
Maybe… I cannot control my rebellious nature
也許 我從來沒有讓你滿意，
Maybe… I have never made you be proud of me
但，我還是想讓你知道……
But… I still want to let you know (I love you)…
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, so here’s a song paying respects to all mothers… Happy Mother’s Day…
(more…)This is a video demonstrating some creative ways to wrap Chinese dumplings and also making fancy cookie shapes.
(more…)“Do you know what kindred spirits are?”
你知道什麽是知音嗎？
“Yes, I know, I have been feeling it too.”
我知道，我一直在聼。

This song is the ending credits song from the 2016 Chinese LGBT-themed web series, Addicted (上癮). I can’t remember how I came across this song in the first place last year, but after I first heard the song, I love it due to its very hummable melody, even though I have not heard or watched the web series. So with lockdown and so much time being trapped at home, I searched the series to watch recently. Then… I realized the wildly popular web series was banned by the Chinese authorities in China after 12 of the 15-episode series were broadcast. Worst still, the two lead actors were also banned by the authorities to appear together in front of the cameras! What, this is the 21st century, and things like this still happened, unbelievable!
