Beautiful Story

Even though I have no idea on the lyrics. The imagery seems to tell the story very well and with very strong emotions. Excellent work all around!

I enjoyed this music video very much. I agree with David, there is so much dramatic pull to the story with the way it's directed and shot, and the performances of the actors, as well as the music's lending its own emotional undertones, that one can understand what is going on without understanding the words of the music. Really beautifully done!

Hace mover el corazón

Realmente es una historia muy buena, excelente música, la fotografía muy buena, los actores son geniales en especial esa señorita que me hace olvidarlo todo y desear vivir con una mujer tal cual como ella.
Èxitos con ese video.
If you want, I can move that video for this part of the world.

Lyrics

Cliff

Songs/Lyrics: Bo-Wei, Chen
Director: Pink Hsu

Two faces of the same ocean.
A clear sky, perfect day
The same landscape, two sensations
A storm –
The billows that breaks my newborn hope

I stand on the edge of the cliff
The wind blows away my tears
Forget me not… the flower of the bordello

Stand on the edge of the cliff
Waves that wash away my rouge
Remember me… the daughter, the drifter

If there will be a day
when sails home like thousand stars
All the lost to find its belonging

I'm a woman standing on a cliff,
Once I turn, I fall. – Guan Xiu Qing

the Story

Guan Xiu Qing was one of the major figures in Collective Of Sex Workers And Supporters. COSWAS emerges as a counter action towards the abolishment of legal sex worker in Taipei, year 1997. It creates a big discussion and turmoil inside the intellectual and social movement circle. Underground sex worker suffers from local gang, mafia, clients and police.

She is famous for her line: The people who spend life in air-conditioned office will never understand what it feels – the feeling of standing on the cliff, if I step back, I fall.

When Guan Xiu Qing was fourteen, her father dies. She was sold to her husband for 600 US dollars. Only thing she brought to the new family was the cloth on her. Her meager dowry makes her marriage life rather difficult, it ends after three years. For supporting her blind mother, her children and her younger brother who was in a car accident, she became a legal sex worker for thirty years.

She was found suicide by drowning in year 2006.

Wow

Quite a few thoughts drift into my head about this piece. Amazing work. There are so few directors of music videos that really embed their own passion into a project. The shoes at the beginning, what a way to make a statement. Excellent work. I look forward to seeing more in the future.

Thanks again for the inspiration.
