A reflection on the film ‘My Architect’

Tracing your footsteps in the hushed world,

I see your shadow casting on my face and my soul.

I hear the echoes of your voice, 

The whispery sound I used to be familiar with, when I was a child.

Here, light and shadow transform along with the time,

Day after day, I see invisible presence

A thread of warmness, a glimmer of hope

The light cast nothing else on the walls and floors

But, the feeling has been deeply engraved in the heart.

It was beautiful and unforgettable memories

Isn't this just as our life? 

We come to this world in a hurry, 

Running through time,

And one day we leave in a hurry.

Just as after the wind has passed,

It leaves no rustling sound among the trees; 

After the geese have gone, 

The pond doesn't retain their reflection.

This is the stillness of the world.

So why chasing after fame and fortune?

After all, we are the light, 

Devoting ourselves into responsibilities should be enough.

Kahn's love for all things 

Has been deeply embedded in the his buildings.

Some people describe that

Architecture is the solidification of music.

We may say that it is also solidified love. 

This love is a broad love.

Love for nature, 

Love for mankind

Love for civilization,

Just like how light chooses to illuminate everything, 

Empowering wind and rain to breed the land and lives.

Because of love, 

We choose not to be fooled by the material world, 

Not to follow superficial social trend. 

Like his buildings, Kahn is strong and persistent. 

Ultimately, architecture becomes a tangible expression of his love. 

Even though he has gone, we are forever touched.

我将一朵小花种在心里
你的微笑是水，是阳光，是空气
我需要的不多，只希望仰起头时，看到你幸福的脸

可我明白，这不是温室里的花儿
虽然我呵护着用尽千方百计，可也避免不了坏天气
就让它经历些磨练吧，至少它能勇敢着成长

如今，风雨如磐，
花儿却十分坚强，因为那永久呵护着它的土壤
它不可轻易倒下，为了那一天，沐浴在温暖阳光下
