LOL

I hadn't intended to blog today, but I just saw this MTV that I simply must write about.

The Song: Luo4 Ye4 Gui1 Gen1 (loosely translated as 'Returning to your roots') by Wang Lee Hom

The Story:
1. Wang Lee Hom as a little boy playing his violin under a tree in a park.
2. A crowd of people listening to him.
3. Out of this crowd, a little girl emerges and hands the boy a green clover leaf shyly.
4. As the girl walks away, she keeps turning her head back to look at the boy.
5. Gradually, she disappears into the crowd...
6. Will they meet again?
7. Will their parting be forever?
8. Many years later...
9. Wang Lee Hom has grown up and is now quite the dashing young man.
10. He is still busking under the same tree in the same park with his fiddle (!)
11. He seems distracted as he plays.
12. Is he waiting for the little girl from so long ago?
13. Waiting....waiting....
14. And she appears!
15. Wang Lee Hom pulls out the (now brown-coloured) clover leaf that the girl gave to him many years ago.
16. They stroll in the park, they chat, he teaches her how to play the violin.
17. Eventually, they embrace--
18. But the girl pushes Wang Lee Hom away abruptly and dashes off.
19. The girl is back home.
20. We realize she has an ang moh husband. (a chorus of groans for Wang Lee Hom)
21. The girl has fallen asleep.
22. She is still clutching onto the clover leaf.
23. Her hand loosens.
24. The clover leaf is carried by the breeze out of the window.
25. The girl wakes and chases after the leaf.
25b. (Can you guess where the leaf's blown to?)
26. And you guessed right! It flies towards the familiar tree under the park.
27. And Wang Lee Hom is still playing his fiddle there!
28. The girl is totally engrossed in getting her beloved leaf back --
29. and she does not notice--
30. a car coming her way!!
31. She is knocked down and killed.
32. The clover leaf lands in her hand.

Do you find this touching? Do you feel like weeping now?

The song is quite nice though. But why the need for so much melodrama in the MTV? LOL
