聽說電影芳華出事，未能在大陸國慶檔期推出。我八卦，網上又輕易找到嚴歌苓那不太長的原著，於是拿來翻看。不料還是卡在瓶頸，不想讀下去，幸好昨晚用上很管用的招式，在臉書公告天下我正讀芳華，給自己壓力，不能讓半途而廢惡習戰勝。終於讀完了！1、基調不同：小說以「觸摸事件」為核心，來反思當時環境對人性的壓抑，以及事件發生後劉峰和四個女兵不同的命運走向，電影則更多表現出對集體主義生活中的女兵、男兵群體的浪漫想像，對集體主義的懷戀情緒過於濃郁。小說重點在反思集體主義生活對個體的傷害，對情感的壓抑。電影中男兵、女兵生活化的場景表現，像一個兩小無猜的大觀園，其中隱含的人與人之間的緊張、對立減少了，尤其是小說營造的禁慾主義的氣氛沒有了。
我們幹嗎那麼對劉峰？ ... 其實當時紅樓裡每個人都跟我一樣，自始至終對劉峰的好沒有信服過。就像我一樣，所有人心底都存在著那點兒陰暗，想看到劉峰露餡兒，露出蛛絲馬跡，讓我們至少看到他不比我們好到哪兒去，也有著我們那些小小的無恥和下流 ... 一旦發現英雄也會落井，投石的人格外勇敢，人群會格外擁擠。我們高不了，我們要靠一個一直高的人低下去來拔高，要靠相互借膽來體味我們的高。為什麼會對劉峰那樣？我們那群可憐蟲，十幾二十歲，都缺乏做人的看家本領，只有在融為集體，相互借膽迫害一個人的時候，才覺得個人強大一點兒。
黎清妍繪畫風格強烈，其人像作品，模糊的表情，不合比例的巨大身驅以表現心理狀態。

Chalk Girl: a protester at the heart of Hong Kong’s democracy movement. Two years since her arrest made her an accidental infamous hero of the pro-democracy umbrella movement, the 16-year-old must decide whether to rejoin the battle alongside the 'localist' youth. As elections loom, Chalk Girl is torn between wanting to respect her family, who are concerned about the risks of her activism, and standing up to Chinese interference. Young localists see themselves as being in a fight to save their beloved city, and in the middle of it all, Chalk Girl is just a teenager wanting to feel part of something bigger.
Lee Wei Ling and Lee Hsien Yang, the younger children of Singapore’s founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, are disturbed by the character, conduct, motives and leadership of their brother, Lee Hsien Loong, and the role of his wife, Ho Ching. Wei Ling and Hsien Yang have stated that they feel extremely sad that they are pushed to this position.
The values of Lee Kuan Yew are being eroded by his own son. Our father placed our country and his people first, not his personal popularity or private agendas. We are very sad that we have been pushed to this. We feel hugely uncomfortable and closely monitored in our own country. We do not trust Hsien Loong as a brother or as a leader. We have lost confidence in him.
It is with a very heavy heart that I will leave Singapore for the foreseeable future. This is the country that my father, Lee Kuan Yew, loved and built. It has been home for my entire life. Singapore is and remains my country. I have no desire to leave. Hsien Loong is the only reason for my departure.
I generally avoid commenting on Singapore politics, but this is an exception.
In the last few years, my immediate family has become increasingly worried about the lack of checks on abuse of power. The situation is now such that my parents have made plans to relocate to another country, a painful decision that they have not made lightly.
I have set up a new Facebook account which is under the name Wei Ling Lee. Future posts will only be in this new account on which no one else can write anything. When I hv news I will post on Wei Ling Lee and open to public to follow. I am doing this as no public media dares to disobey Hsien Loong and Ho Ching's commands.
I am deeply saddened by the unfortunate allegations that they have made. Ho Ching and I deny these allegations, especially the absurd claim that I have political ambitions for my son.
Our letter was carefully vetted by our lawyers and obviously not in my own voice.
The most important point I want to put across is if PM can misuse his official power to abuse his siblings who can fight back, what else can he do to ordinary citizens. But our lawyer edited that main message out
