Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At 21:00 on September 3, Beijing time, a Boeing 777 bound for Los Angeles took off from the Capital Airport and began a 13-hour flight.

    The business class cabin is very quiet, with passengers watching TV, playing computer games, talking and resting in their seats.  Ye Wei was sitting back in his chair thinking about things. He had been busy from the evening of the 28th until now. Looking back, his mind was a little empty, but he had a clear conscience for this trip.

    The last two columns in the "Los Angeles Times" have been about travel notes, and the Chinese travel note for tomorrow, September 4th, has been written.

    Two days ago, he personally wrote an English version of "Bring the Baby Home" and posted it on his English blog. Previous translations by Western media had many inaccuracies. He explained it, not wanting to be misinterpreted and used to create trouble.

    It¡¯s okay. He has always been in the left-wing camp. The film and television entertainment industry is generally left-leaning. The more Stephen Colbert scolds the president, the more he gets angry. Moreover, there are many circles in this industry, including the Scientology gang. The "Fat Girl Incident" is not  It will affect your career, but only the performance of the movie will.

    The next step is to establish a charitable foundation. He will provide the money and leave the affairs to professionals such as Salton Lawyer. CAA has this kind of service.

    In fact, it was not just her own good deeds. Ye Wei then learned that Rooney Mara had recently visited the Kibera slum southwest of Nairobi as a volunteer, which is the largest slum in Africa and the second largest slum in the world.  When he was dating her, he said he wanted to go to Kenya to see the Mara River Crossing and visit orphans in the slums.  She went first.

    In any case, this wealthy young lady was also shaken to her heart. She wants to start charity work and is establishing her non-profit organization. She wants to build a large orphanage in the Kibera slum, planning to occupy 5-10 acres of land.  Provide shelter, food and medical care to orphans.

    Now in the fundraising phase, Rooney is preparing to host several charity auctions of Giants and Steelers memorabilia, and she invites him to attend and join her in doing so.

    ¡°My organization is going to be called ¡®Faces of Kibera¡¯, what do you think?¡± Rooney asked him.

    "Where's Elu's face?" he asked.

    He and she have some differences. Rooney wants to save Kibera first, and he wants to save Eru first, but his charity focus is on China.

    During the few days in Beijing, Ye Wei not only recorded the program, but also met with some people. Things can be done, but the road must be long and long.

    The foundation has not yet been established, but it has already received a lot of proactive pledges of donations.  They are both in China and the United States. Rooney wants to donate money; Angelia Jolie wants to donate money and adopt a fat girl. It is great to have her join. She has great philanthropic power and experience; Amy sent a text message to ask  Is there anything she can do to help, like being an ambassador for the foundation?  Forget it, Emmanuelle, Brother Wei is the ambassador.

    There are many enthusiastic people. "Baby Come Home" is full of hope and will always be of some help.

    Ye Wei thought for a long time, looking at the beautiful stewardess walking by, and then stopped thinking for a while.

    The original travel plan was not completed and we did not go to Chengdu Wolong Panda Base. Naturally, the photo of the giant panda sniffing lilies was not taken.  After the Fat Girl incident, I was so busy that I could only make a simple version of the short film "The World Is Lily".

    The more he thought about it, the more he felt an unspeakable feeling.  It was as if he had been in a sweet dream. When he arrived in Africa, he was half-awake by the shocking things. When he arrived in China, he felt like he had completely woken up from the sweet dream.  He saw the reality of a world where his horse was an idiot.

    Thousands of thoughts are entangled together, and I seem to have lost the ability to dream.

    But I have a new understanding of what Shelley said: "Love and hunger rule the world." There is love, one's own hunger, and the hunger of others.

    Although he was keen on charitable donations in the past, he did not do much charity activities, and the school¡¯s community services were treated in a low-key manner.  After he was no longer hungry, he seldom looked at the hunger of others. This journey inspired him that he should see more and take care of it, otherwise he would not be qualified to talk about the world.

    The earth is small, but this world is really huge. There are so many things that can be done and done, not just love, not just movies.

    Movies are a kind of narration, questioning, and sharing of insights, not answers.

    As he thought about it, Ye Wei had a sense of certainty that he had really become better and stronger. He gave strength to the children, and the children also gave strength to him. He had more dreams and a greater sense of responsibility.  He quite likes it, but

    Love is not the slave of time, nor the slave of hunger, nor the slave of anything.  Love is love, independence is there.

    Does she like this better Ye Wei?

    A face with thick eyebrows appeared in front of his eyes, and Ye Wei couldn't help but smile. He didn't know what he was feeling. More than half of that rainy night had passed.It's 1 month, is she okay?

    I will go find her when I get back to Los Angeles.

    ¡­¡­

    At 17:00 on Sunday, September 3, local time in Los Angeles, a Boeing 777 from Beijing successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

    I learned the news about the return date from Ye Wei¡¯s blog, and came here to fight with the paparazzi who had been guarding the airport for a long time. As expected, Ye Wei appeared in the terminal with the passengers not long after.  More than a dozen paparazzi walked up one after another, pressing the camera shutter and shouting with smiles: "Viy, welcome back!", "Well done!", "Your pictures are really good!"

    Ye Wei was wearing a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, dragging two large suitcases and carrying a canvas travel backpack, and walked in calmly.

    "Wei, look over here!"

    Jeff Fleet is an expert in taking photos of viy. Many street photos and gossip photos were taken with his camera. He was also given the middle finger when Ye Wei was dating Lindsay Ellingson.

    It is said that Africa can change a person. After not seeing each other for a while, Fritt also has the feeling of "viy has changed" that the media has been talking about, just like he is photographing the young Bob Dylan, Sean Penn, James  People like Dean and John Lennon, this strange mixture of maturity, profound wisdom, literature, art, anger, rebelliousness, and tranquility, are basically not found among today¡¯s young people.

    It¡¯s not that people around the age of 18-21, like the recently popular Jonathan brothers, can¡¯t do it, nor can they do it between the ages of 21-24, and it¡¯s hard to see them between the ages of 24-30. The 25-year-old Joseph Gordon-Levitt can¡¯t do it, he¡¯s not that type.  27-year-old Heath Ledger comes close but can't.

    ¡°Nowadays, these young people who grew up in the new century lack a mature conflict with the times, society and the world. They live too comfortably and have too few talents.

    Fritt captured the conflict from Ye Wei very early on, and it is even clearer today. This 18-year-old genius prodigal looks like a cultural idol from the old era.

    ¡°Viy, what do you say?¡±, ¡°Tell us about those polar bears?¡±, ¡°Tell us about your charity?¡± the paparazzi said one after another.

    Ye Wei said nothing and walked directly past them.

    The dog team continued to follow him outside the terminal until Ye Wei got into an RV that came to pick him up. This was another vehicle that viy had.

    ¡­¡­

    When we returned home to Brentwood, it was already past six o'clock. The RV stopped in the driveway outside the front lawn. As soon as Ye Wei got out of the car, Toto was the first to pounce on him excitedly. Almost at the same time, Duoduo burst into laughter.  He laughed loudly and shouted: "Brother, have you ever climbed the Great Wall? Brother! What delicious food did you buy back? Brother!"

    "Hahaha! Of course!" Ye Wei picked up Duoduo and lifted her up high. She was healthy, lively, happy, and innocent, which was great.

    Both his parents were looking at him with a smile, and his father suddenly praised: "Son, you really make me proud." My mother nodded, with a look of relief on her face.  For a woman who is a full-time housewife, her children are her life.

    Ye Wei was not lying when he said that he learned "Thousand Words" when he was 2 years old. When he was a child, he was tortured by his mother's education. At that time, his mother had a "super baby" plan that combined Chinese and Western methods.  He always felt that this led to his later rebellious psychology. It was only after Duoduo was born that he felt better.

    "Buxiaozi seems to have really grown up, and my mother must be happy."

    The whole family worked together to move their luggage and came to the living room laughing all the way.  Duoduo was excitedly circling the two suitcases, anticipating what gifts there would be. Apparently she would get the same treatment as he did when he was a child when traveling to China, as if she had arrived in the ideal country in the hearts of the Beats.

    "Gift time!" Dad cheered, and he and Duoduo opened the gift box like a philistine, while Toto joined in the fun.

    The smiling mother finally lectured: "Wei, mother is very proud." He shrugged: "I haven't done much." The mother smiled and said: "It's a lot at your age. Finally, mother doesn't have to worry about you.  "

    "I don't believe it." Ye Wei smiled after hearing this, "I will be nagging you all my life. You are my mother."

    "Then I will take care of you and do charity, but don't waste your youth." My mother said, "you only have one youth, what you have to do is enjoy it. Your father and I have suffered a lot just for you and Duo  "Take it easy, don't be so tired."

    Ye Wei couldn't help but look at her mother funny, "Mom, you are so funny. When I was playing, you told me not to play, and when I stopped playing, you asked me to play again. This has been the case since I was a child!"

    Mom patted his shoulder without saying anything and walked over to open the gift together.

    "Duoduo, you are so beautiful." The father put a colorful Kenyan bead necklace on his baby daughter, and Duoduo danced with her hands.

    "That's called Marseille beads." Ye Weixiao said, introduced them to many gifts, and held upHe walked upstairs and said, "Dear friends, I'm going back to my room first. I have something to rush for."

    The three people in the gift carnival said: "Go, go." Toto followed him.

    Arriving at the bedroom on the second floor, Ye Wei used his computer to copy the short film "The World Is Lily" to DVD. Although it was different from the original script, it was still simple.  Poems are not good, gifts are not good, singing is not good, and excuses are not good. As a filmmaker, this is the bottom line. I hope it can make beautiful people smile.

    He took his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lily: "Hey, are you at home? I'm back from traveling and I have a gift for you."

    There is a terrible fact. This is the first time I have sent her a text message in more than two months, and I don¡¯t know if I have been blacklisted.

    Looking at the screen of the mobile phone, Ye Wei felt that his heart was tight, stuffy, sore, and painful The feeling was unchanged from before, as if he had never been on that journey.

    After a long time, the phone suddenly rang a beautiful ding, and Lily replied!  He quickly opened it to check, it was true!  I saw a text message saying: "Thank you."

    Thank you?  What do you mean, can I see you?  Ye Wei was confused for a moment, and then shouted with joy: "This is it!" He had the nerve to say that he was a master of picking up girls, of course he could!  If a girl hesitates, it means she has a chance. If she doesn't say "no", it means "yes", and you are not on the blacklist!

    I just said, good people are rewarded, haha!  She likes this about me.

    Just as her heart was as comfortable and active as dry grass watered, a new text message came from her on her phone: "I'm not at home. Don't go to my house, be careful of the paparazzi. Just go to the street north of your house and give the gift to my nanny."  OK, thank you. Don¡¯t get me wrong.¡±

    Don¡¯t get me wrong?  What's the misunderstanding?  Don't misunderstand "I'm not accepting you, this is just etiquette", or don't misunderstand "I'm not rejecting you, this is how it is for now"?

    The former is more likely.  Ye Wei wrinkled her face. She didn't tell me where to look for her, nor did she explain that no matter where she was at home or where she was, she didn't want to see me.  Soshe doesn't hate me as much as before, maybe she still has a good impression of me "he helped some children", but she doesn't like me like she wants to get back together.

    No matter what, when she receives this gift and the rogue confesses his love again, she will give an answer.

    Ye Wei put the copied DVD into a kraft paper envelope, wrote "to-lily" and "v" with a black marker, and walked out of the room.

    The sky was still bright and there were no paparazzi. He walked to the north intersection of the street. After waiting for a while, he handed the gift to Madeline who drove up. Without asking about Lily's current situation, he greeted her with a smile.  Madeleine left in a sentence.

    "It has been handed over. You must open it and read it today." Ye Wei sent a text message to Lily.

    "Thank you." After a while, she replied again.

    All right.  Ye Wei took a walk, walking on the clean streets, looking at the large high-end residences on both sides. Some people had children playing on the lawn in their front yards, and there were bursts of laughter. Such a beautiful community was too much.  It's touching.

    When we get to the old place on Sunset Boulevard, nothing has changed.

    A thought arose in his mind, and he walked towards a bush on the street. On August 14, he found that the message airplane was still there, intact at the time.

    I can¡¯t see it in the bushes now. Was it picked up by someone?  Is it her?

    Ye Wei's heart jumped a little, but as soon as he looked carefully, his heart suddenly sank, and he saw that the paper airplane had fallen into the depths of the bushes.  He picked it up and looked at it. It seemed that it had not been opened, because it was almost rotten into a small paper ball from being watered and wet.

    He silently and gently opened the paper airplane. No words were added to both sides of the paper, but the words he wrote were blurred and the original appearance could not be clearly seen.
