4th)AsSaSSinS aNd BodYgUARd

After such a big decision of whether or not i should go for my drama show on tan kah kee , i decided to go since it is a big activity and i am representing hwa chong instead of myself.I recalled that in the morning , we watched another movie in our sabbatical class. it is called 十月围城, which in english is called assassins and bodyguards. It is about 孙中山, arriving to hongkong and how they try to protect him from getting killed by the british since he supported the' three principles of people' which will make china a free, prosperous and powerful nation. British did not want china to be a free nation as it will cut off the advantages it is gaining from china. Thus, they wanted to kill 孙中山. Before he arrived, there is a man called 李玉堂, he supported 孙中山, thus, he organised a group of people to safely escort 孙中山out of danger.his son went to be the substitute of 孙中山to lead the assassins away.A lot of people were recruited as body guards and to fight the assasins. a lot of people died in the battle but 孙中山was safe.I dont really get the main idea of the whole movie but it was very nice with lots of fighting scene. It was also very touching when 李玉堂's son went to be the substitute as he was the only son, his father is rich and wanted the servents to act as the substitute fearing that his son might die, but his son said 'that all man were born equal, why cant i die and why can the servants die?'
Anyone watched the movie? Leave a comment please.

Hi Qiyu,

I don't know why but I am quite attracted to your blog. Perhaps it is the way that express your thoughts is quite unique. Well, personally, I watched the movie recently on a VCD. I do admit the movie is quite difficult to understand, but I think it has something to do with revolution of China.
After watching the movie, I think the reason why Lee Yu Tang's son wanted to protect Sun Zhong San is because he felt that he was also a part of China, and did not see why he could not serve his own country just because he is an only son. I also felt that the bodyguards were very noble in the sense that they sacrificed for their country and did not expect anything in return. I think this movie made me appreciate more what I have in my country, because it made me understand that many sacrifices is needed to built a country. That is what I think. Perhaps you might want to improve your blog post by writing your opinions and reflections of the movie.
Qiyu, I really enjoy reading your blog. Keep on blogging!

Cheers,
J-Loh :D

Thanks Jloh, btw, all the body guards have different goals, some for money, some for woman but all their goals combine together in that particular day, and formed a common goal, to protect sun zhong shan.thanks for all ur compliments, look out for my 5th post later
