Where do people go when they're...
Like, dead.
Well, hi, Michael.
I've just finished my photography homework, which is asking us to take photos of a certain famous building from different angles, at different times, under different weather. I chose the Mercedes Benz Arena, anyway, didn't know why. But when I recalled the open plaza beside it, whose name is the ceremony plaza, I also remembered those concerts held here, every year since Shanghai EXPO was over. Well, the M.B. Arena was also built to be the big stage. Nowadays it's the best place for the most outsdanding performers around the world to held their concerts in the magic city of Shanghai.
If you are still with us... This arena may be what you shouldn't miss. You once said that the London 50 ones were the last show. Though your leave wasn't a coincidence, in some way, I still believe that this is the place where I should have met you, in my own eyes.
Then suddenly I fell into deep and eternal sorrow. A sense of loss.
I don't meant to talk so much about the arena, I just wanted to mention the homework and then shift into the BBC TV drama I'm watching recently. <SHERLOCK>, oh yeah.
It's totally amazing, I don't know whether you loved detective stories or not, but you'll like the brand new story as l do.
First about Sherlock the hero. He was smart and cold, in some way, I don't know how to describe it precisely in English, you know. But that's just his mask. He is protecting London all the time, and his brother is protecting him. He never thought he'd have a friend, but one day he had Dr. Watson, oh. They were made for each other.
But men's .love isn't actually the case. Friendship is afterall different from love. There're two women around Sherlock that arouse my attention. She found boyfriends, but I can see, she always loved the wierd detective. When the plan was being carried out, Molly helped Sherlock to place the fake body, after which Sherlock came in breaking the window and kissed Molly gently. Pitifully this was just an imagination. Sherlock was smart enough to know that Molly had someone that she love from the bottom of her heart, but he was too silly not to realize that the man was himself. Why am I preferring Molly as Sherlock's Ms. Right? Maybe it's because I'm always in the bad place when chasing my love, failing, just like Molly.
The other woman is Irene Adler. She's kinda fond of ... with girls. That's why I don't like her. But at last when I saw the text messages she had sent to Sherlock, I found she (thought she) was also in the weak place. 'What are you doing now, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?' 'Your hat was so funny.' 'Watch BBC1, it's so amusing!' 'Shall we have dinner together, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?' 'Merry Christmas.' 'Goodbye, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.' That's just me myself.
In John Watson's case, since it's already very late, I'll just talk about he and his wife Mary. She was an agent, but in order to get an ordinary and peaceful life, she married John and fell in deep love with him. Some time after John found something about her real identity, he decided to throw away her past and live with her as his previlege. Then Mary died saving Sherlock Holmes, which made him extremely angry about his friend and extremely sad, frequently seeing Mary around, but actually in his mind. Mary was still graceful, instructing him how to behave and save Sherlock which was also to save himself. John told her the truth how he cheated her and cried badly. Mary just, smiled.
It's very hard for John, to be alone again and again.
Now tell me Michael, what really is death? Where do we go when we die?
Can you convey message to us? Then what's the point of so many letters I've wrote to you?
You know I miss you so much and regret so much not to be born in an earlier age. I wanted to create the romance between you and me and try to save you from the bad guys, but how can we fight against destiny?
I suddenly have no idea about what to say. Good night then, I'll be right by your side to save you, even you can't remember me in that world.
Love from Jessica Jackson Shanghai, CHN.
