45、e of Mr Ben s Coiffure.The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount (打折) on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 am.

46、p litter(乱仍的杂物) by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. Id sleep in the car on the way home.I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime.

54、l injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with a glance in his eyes.

55、l stop to his war trilogy(三部曲) last month with Purple Sunset. The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World War II was drawing to an end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the ho
56、pe that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arrive in a Japanese base. Humanisty(人道主义) prevents them from killing the young, innocent(无辜的) victim of Japanese militarism. This humanisty, the longing for peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite. “If people are touched by
57、 justice, tolerance(容忍) and unselfishness, I think I have achieved my goal,” Feng said. Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film, such as tanks fighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive, to show the cruelty of the war. But thats never his personal preference, he says
58、.“Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I detest war,” he said. “I wrote all the things for my war films by myself. Whenever I finished one, I felt as though I had suffered great pain.” Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity
59、. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the snowy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau(高原) in Lovers Grief over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used to study art, a
60、nd I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”71.
