1. Over the three weeks of CID lessons, I have learnt many things. The most important things that I have learnt are that a picture speaks a thousand word and not everything is what it seems. In one lesson, we were shown a picture of a young girl in Africa who was very very skinny with a vulture standing by her. This picture made me feel very sad as it symbolized death, the death of the starving girl. And yet at the same time it made me quite angry as the photographer did not bother helping the girl by giving her some food, but that was not up to me to decide. Thus through a simple picture like that, tells a lot of different things and make people feel different emotions. Another time, there was two pictures shown to us, a picture of a man beggar and a lady beggar with a child. Most of the people in our class, including me, thought that the lady was the real beggar that we would choose to help but in the end we realized that she was actually part of a group of people to 'fake' beg, to get money from people, and that the man beggar was really the one in need. Thus through these three weeks, I learnt quite a lot.
2. When thinking of Chinese New Year, the first colour that pops into my mind is definitely red. Every year, my house will be decorated in red ornaments and decorations and it's just such a great colour for the occasion as it is prosperous. A symbol that I will think of is probably a water droplet, probably because I feel that the Chinese New Year is a time for us to start a fresh year, and start the lunar year with a clean start.
For me, I chose this picture because I love to eat, and my favorite thing to eat during Chinese New Year is definitely yu sheng. I just love the whole process of mixing it and definitely love the process of eating it. I and just very excited for the time to lao yu sheng.
