　　【原文】

　　那時候，我已經將近三十歲了。古人說：三十而立。而我連自己的生活都還沒法自立，怎么辦?繼續等待，還是就此放棄心中的電影夢?幸好。我的妻子給了我最及時的鼓勵。

　　妻子是我的大學同學，但她是學生物學的，畢業后在當地一家小研究室做藥物研究員，薪水少得可憐。那時候我們已經有了大兒子李涵，為了緩解內心的愧疚，我每天除了在家里讀書、看電影、寫劇本外，還包攬了所有家務，負責買菜做飯帶孩子，將家里收拾得干干凈凈。還記得那時候，每天傍晚做完晚飯后，我就和兒子坐在門口，一邊講故事給他聽，一邊等待"英勇的獵人媽媽帶著獵物(生活費)回家"。

　　I was approaching 30 back then. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, a man is supposedly independent at the age of 30. But how could I move on when I was still financially dependent? Should I keep biding my time or simply let my movie dream go? Thankfully, my wife offered me much-needed encouragement just in time.

　　My wife and I were college mates. As a biology major, she graduated into a small research institute as a drug researcher with awfully meager pay. Our elder son Li Han was born into such a struggling family while I was going through a rough patch in career. Those were the tough years when, apart from reading books, watching movies and writing screenplays all at home, I took care of house work all on my own, ranging from grocery shopping, cooking and babysitting to housecleaning, simply to offset my sense of guilt deep down. As far as I can recall, whenever the night fell, I, as a rule, prepared dinner and sat at the doorway with my son, telling him stories while waiting for “the brave hunter-mother taking home her game (i.e., our living expenses)”.
