Rainbow's Tour: she lived, and she shone, but so soon her lights were gone <BR>（Part Three）
--"Did you hear that? They called me a whore! They actually called me a <BR>whore!"
Vincent: Bitch. Slut. And whore. While the academic name is prostitute. In <BR>official tone of language we may often use prostitute for formality.
Ms. FinalFantasy: Guess what. I'm feeling disgusted. You annoy me by <BR> mentioning such words.
Vincent: I didn't mean so. But there was one very famous first lady in <BR>Argentina, by the name of Eva Evita Perón. This lady is the first female <BR> president in human history. Did you hear of her before?
Ms. FinalFantasy: Of course. But rather I would call her some first female <BR>vice-president for accuracy.
Vincent: Yes-oh yes. You're right. Her name received world renown after her <BR>trips to the Europe in the late 1940s of the last century. A very, very <BR>great woman who in her 33-year lifetime rewrote the history of Argentina and <BR>let all Argentines remember her name till today, and for good and all if <BR>nothing will go wrong in the future.
Ms. FinalFantasy: What makes her so famous?
Vincent: On one aspect, the Rainbow Tour. Her trips to Spain, Italy and <BR>France as diplomatic measures proved a great success. The whole Europe <BR>continent was captivated by her charms. This Argentine beauty found her <BR>supports from overseas consensus and the enemies in Argentina were suppressed.
On the other hand, when a woman of a lowly background climbed to the top <BR>of power of a nation and spoke for the benefits of peasants, workers and all <BR>any other people in poverty, it was reasonable that she had a lot of enemies <BR>from the middle class and the wealthy. She grasped the opportunity and <BR>married Colonel Juan Perón (who had great political reputation in the nation <BR> then), and helped the latter to become President of Argentina by half acting <BR>and mainly devoting to the cause of the working class.
She didn't go back on her word. As First Lady of Argentina, she went <BR>hither and thither through factories, hospitals, and orphanages to help people <BR>at the bottom of the society. The famous "First Lady Fund" was set up to give <BR>out money for welfare in health-care and college education and so forth.
And I'd like to quote the lines said by President Perón in the film <BR> "Evita" <BR>: She's been out there doing what we just talked about. For instance, <BR>: gave us back the businesses; got the English out… <BR>To talk about her accomplishments, to name just a few.
Ms. FinalFantasy: The film acted by Madonna? And at which part these lines <BR>come out?
Vincent: At the meeting between President and other high-ranking officials <BR>to disscuss whether they should elect Evita Vice-President of the nation. The <BR> music is excellent and touching. (And after seeing this film, you learn <BR>several expressions of prostitutes.)
Ms. FinalFantasy: Indeed a great woman.
Vincent: She was called "diamond in the tribulation", "rose of Argentina". <BR>But the name of her trips "Rainbow Tour" best describes her whole lifetime. <BR>She lived, and she shone, but so soon her lights were gone.
Ms. FinalFantasy: "The kind-hearted people won't live long; while the evil <BR>keep alive for a thousand years." An angel leaves the paradise for too long <BR>and God makes the decision to summon her back. We in our humble eyesight <BR>couldn't cherish the best moments of an angel, a goddess. By the time we <BR>realize the loss of a great soul, a great spirit of all ages, everything is <BR>too late.
Vincent: Not really. It will never be too late for Argentines to name their <BR>girls as Evita; never be too late for them to mourn every year on July the <BR>26th; never be too late for them to put flowers and pay respects at her <BR>graveyard. <BR> (the end of Rainbow's Tour专题) |
