power of hands
December 1, 2008
At first, I can’t decide what to film, I wanna find one thing which is really full of power, and I walk in the street, I always feel upset. What is the power? The word is so wide and abstract, I try my best and want to find a special thing to illustrate power, but I can’t find the one which is really suitable for the word. One day, one of my friends broke her hand, and she told me because of the broken hand, everything becomes incommodiousness. Because she has to protect the broken hand keep away from the water. So I start to think, what kind of thing is really powerful? The hands, it’s so important for everyone of us, but we always ignore them. Everyday, we use our hands. For example, we say goodbye and wave hands, we write something, we drink water, we turn on the light, we do some cleaning, we text to friends, etc. It seems that we can’t do anything without our hands. And in the history, about 2200 years ago, the Great Wall in China had been totally built up. At that time, there’s no any modern machine to help people to build the Great Wall, what they use just the hands. And the same as the Great Wall, the Pyramid was built all by hands. They were called the miracle in the history.
Because we use our hands too often, we take them as apart of the body and we never think about that the human civilization and the social civilization were just set up by people’s hands.
