一個在歐洲長大的朋友早陣子從捷克跑到法國跟意大利中間的一個國家旅行，現在又到了西班牙讀書，學的正是西班牙文。世界三大語系分別是中文、西班牙文、英文，更有資料說西班牙語現已超越英語成為全球第二大語系。西班牙語在歐洲、美洲、非洲、亞洲等超過五十多個國家通行，作為官方語言的，有超過二十多個國家，總使用人數近五億之多。

西班牙擁有世界自然及文化遺產之數量居全世界第二位，是世界三大旅遊國之一。我也曾到過西班牙，那裡不只有多不勝數的宏偉建築和熱情的音樂舞蹈文化，舉世知名的偉大畫家巴伯羅畢卡索(Pablo Picasso)也在西班牙南部安達魯西亞(Andalucía)出生，不過印象最深的是聞名的陽光、海灘與美女！

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me
Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……
“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.
“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!
“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.
