敢问路在何方?The Long and Winding Road


有许多关于路的名言警句,随手拈来:“路是人走出来的”,“天无绝人之路”,“敢问路在何方”,“路遥知马力等。消极的也不少:“走头无路”,“死路一条”和“无路

路也是人类联系最古老和最有效的方法;路也是经济发展最基本的条件。中国改革开放有句话:“若要富,先造路”,可见路的重要。

这几年拍摄风光所体会的是:好的景色往往出现在崎岖和陡峭的路上。这次去西藏阿里拍摄就是好例子,好的景点不是在拉萨市,而是在最艰苦和最缺氧离市区34千公里外!

同样的,人生的成功幸福之路往往也是一条崎岖陡峭之路!与大家共勉。


In Chinese language, there are many words or phrases associated with ROAD. Among the most common one are: road is made by human footsteps, there is always a road (way) for those who are optimistic, the strength of the horse is measured after a long and winding road etc. Some of the phrases are negative like: no road, death road etc!

But road connect people, like it or not, road is also a prerequisite for economic development as you can see what have happened in China.

For me, good landscape pictures are always found in the end of a long and winding road, at least this is the experience during my recent shooting trip in Tibet-Ali.

Similarly, the success and happiness in life are normally found after a long and precipitous winding road.
