-To understand the love of a father-
Never have I been the kind of girl who likes daddy more than mommy. As I grow up, I find it harder and harder to communicate with dad, not just my dad but fatherly figure in general. This also happens in other families, even my mum talks more with my grandma than my grandpa. I could easily start a topic with my mum or any auntie and chat for the whole day but with dad or uncle, nah. I suppose this is normal for a girl but I don't think this is healthy, yet it just so happens that I tend to fail miserably when communicating with any fatherly figures. I guess this somehow partly blocks me from getting closer to my father in heaven. And he knows it. Then I got a role in this drama. The story is based on a family with a dad who raised 4 daughters and 3 other kids on his own after his wife passed away. When I first read the script, I was really worried. "There is no way I will be able to say those things out loud." Those "I love you"s and "sorry"s and "thank you"s may be things they say everyday in western culture but for Chinese, these are big words. So big that it takes so much courage to say them. Frankly, it'd be so much easier if I have to say it to a motherly figure. Yet this is just how amazing drama and acting can be. Being casted as one of the daughters, I had no choice but to due with those cheesy lines. Fortunately, we have an awesome director (aka father in the story). He explained the meanings behind some of the lines and the story. And so the non-stop rehearsals began. It's very difficult for me to explain what it's really like, all I can say is, at one point, when I was looking at "dad", I wanted to say nothing but "I love you" and "thank you" and "sorry". The lines I said, I meant them. From my heart. Through a drama I understood the way how a father loves his family and through a character I finally felt the love a daughter should have for her dad.
