My thanks to all who have helped me with the book. 

I am also uploading a "poem": Life as a Feather: Watching Forrest Gump. I felt I was pretty much like Forrest Gump the first time I saw it in the 1990s. I wrote this poem in English in 2009 after I watched it another time (I cannot remember how many times I watched it, so many). I translated the poem into Chinese. My gratitude to all who care to read my writing. Whenever possible, I will have both Chinese and English versions.

Life as a Feather: Watching Forrest Gump

Cynthia Zhang 

2009

Tears, thoughts, and destiny.

A simpleton of Forrest Gump

Brings joy to the meaning of life.

"When you love your creation,

Miracle happens," the producer says.

Well, then, I believe you, my dear lady.

I will work on my miracle 

To see it in the rainbow at the end of 

My road.

羽毛般的生命- 观阿甘正传有感
张柏青

泪水和着对命运的思索
因着愚笨单纯的阿甘
尽情流淌着
生命有意义
更有喜悦

导演诠释阿甘：
“当你深爱自己的创作时，
奇迹就会出现。”
我相信你，导演女士。
我就朝着我的奇迹努力吧。
祈祷与彩虹
在我的路尽头相遇。
