dinglover as a mother of a four year old, i absolutely feel that nobody can substitute the role of 'mother'. i really care her more than myself, and i cannot imagine any other one could be as caring and as sensitive as me to my own daughter.

crystalfealy520 @crystalfealy520 (50) • China 2 Dec 09

In nowadays, education seems to be necessary. Children are forced to study. They work hard in order to find a good job. I worked hard for almost 15 years just for a good job. But after a long tiring study, i just find a just-so-so...

dinglover Gone with the wind is one of my favorite. After I watched it first time, I rushed to buy a copy of the book, and finished my reading within just 2 or 3 days. The four-hour movie is wonderful and very loyal to the book. I like both.
