Hi everyone, long time no see and this is Panda’a diary again. This is a rather peaceful week and we three brothers have a very good vacation together. Grizz and Ice don’t need to work since they ask for a vacation for themselves. We just stay at home, watch football and basketball games together, have the party with Chloe, and go to the cinema watching some movies. One of the films that we watched is Parasite. This is really one wonderful movie and Ice and I watch for two times. We hear about the news from Chloe that this movie wins four awards at the Oscars 2020, which are four Academy Awards at tonight’s Oscars including Best Picture, Directing, International Feature Film and Writing (Original Screenplay). Though we bears seldom pay attention to those honors and awards in the world of human beings, we also think this film is very very wonderful since Chloe is so excited when she recommends this film for us.
After watching this film, Ice and I went back home by foot. Ice asked me if this film is wonderful. I said yes, but it is also very depressing. When the whole family is living in the basement, I am touched. Not because the terrible living environment or how they work hard to seek a better life but because I suddenly have a resonate with their experience.
When Grizz, Ice, and I were still very small, our lives were no better than living in the basement. When we decided to settle in this city, many problems were just coming to us one by one. We had little money to buy a house, no one was willing to hire us or raise us since we were animals, we sometimes were chased by some people who thought that we should be sent back to the zoo, we were teased by those children in the park and ……Anyway, because were were bears, it was extremely hard for us to live in the city and treated by others equally. Ice was so good at cooking and I can swear that he can be the best cooker in this city. However, when the manager saw his bear face, he would kick Ice out without giving him any chance to cook for him. I believe this is his pity and also his loss for the while life. No matter how we made the efforts to struggle for a work, we would be kicked out eventually by human beings.
One night, when we were so hungry and we wandered on the streets to find some food, we saw Chloe and her family members. They had just finished their dinner from the restaurant and prepared to go home. Since they ordered too many dishes and did not eat them up, the waiter was preparing to clean the table and throw the food away. We were so excited and wanted to eat the food. While the waiter did not permit and even asked the manager to kick us out. The manager was so rude that he even called us “beast”. We were so angry as he was insulting us and were going to fight with the manager. However, Chloe just heard the chaos and walked to us. Knowing the whole thing, Chloe just asked the waiter to package all remained food and give us. Also, she bought some other food for us since she worried that we would hungry on the next day. Due to this thing, we became good friends and Chloe. She suggested us to live in the forest and sometimes, she would recommend some work for us so we can making a living.
Thinking of those past things makes me feel that we are so lucky that we can meet Chloe several years ago. Without her help, we may continue to live a terrible and poor life without having a house to live. I say to Ice: “Do you think we are just like the family in this film?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“We both have big house.”
Ice should misunderstand me. “I mean the family living in the basement.”
Ice does not answer me at once. For a while, he says to me, “No, we will have a better life than theirs”, Ice turns to me, “And our friend Chloe will not treat use like the wealthy family does.”
“Yes, I believe too.”
A Cute Panda
