When I was travel in Europe,I had been sitting on the world famous boat-Gondola, and enjoy the feeling of being touched by the gentle and soft wind. Just in a moment,I saw a fascinating picture:there is a beautiful girl with blond hair,sitting against the wall of a magnificent building and holding a cigarette gently by her forefinger and middle finger;I even can saw the light-blue smoke gone with the wind. Under the sunshine,I was totally attracted by her blurred eyes and the persiste mist in the air.Then a sentence emerged in my mind:
the women who don’t somke, have no history;
the women never eat ice cream,don’t know how to enjoy the ongoing life;
the women who don’t use perfume,will never get the clue of the future.
Let’s ignore the judgement of right and wrong of this sentence,only read it in our heart,we can find that only the first sentence is already enough for a deep thinking.
After the entering of tobacco products from America and European countries to China,during he Qing dynasty,more and more people thought that smoking is a really bad behavior and will hurt the graceful situation of public places. China,a country which is famous for it’s well-bred culture and ritual,always pay much more attention to people’s behavior and courtesy. Under this situation, when we saw those female smokers who hold a cigarette in her mouth, and release smoke mist through their nose, most of the people will think that she is annoying and impolite. Many people even hold the opinion that smoking is as bad as binding the feet of women. And in the modern movies,we can see lot’s of hockers and those "bad" women often holding a cigarette. It’s not unforgivable to say that smoking can be seen as the symbol of female spyers and prostitute. But we can’t deny that those spyers and prostitutes have more stories lying behind their life than normal people. Maybe she is a hocker with sadness and miserable past,maybe she is a spyer live with a life full of fear and worry. Doesn’t this has already proving the before mentiond words "the women who don’t smoke,have no history".
Smoking is a kind of elegant gesture. This is said by Miss Ailing Zhang. The women who smoking are enjoy and experiencing the feeling of grace or desolate. Hapiness and sadness are existing together, while those female smokers are demonstrating that hapiness is transient and sadness is permanent, by themselves. Life just like the cigarette, its burning is short while its tastes in the mouth will last long.
Smoking leave us a feeling of dispirited. But the women who are smoking can show us a kind of expression of beauty in an appropriate situation. Most of those women have lots of special life experience,they know the other side of life which is not knowned by most people. When they are boring or worrying for some reason, they hope all the bad feeling can gone with the smoke mist. Decadent and overindulging are telling the story of cigarettes and women; or, the women who are holding a cigarette don’t enjoy smoking it, but watching the smoke generated by the cigarette. Maybe they just enjoy the feeling of releasing something from their body, just like unburdening all the heavy stress, and diluting those unhappiness. The burning cigarette is a really live show of vivid life.
Beautiful lonliness, light smoke cicle, a woman with complicated memory.Just this.
