Comment by Guangdong Modern Dance Company on May 15, 2012 at 11:04am: About "Being"

What exactly is the ocean?

What is the sea?

But the answer isn’t something you will find in a book.

To really know what the ocean is, you have to see it for yourself.

You have to see it and taste it.

You have to feel its power.

As living beings who share a fragile plant with us，

Every breath we take and every drop we drink

depends on a healthy ocean.

Now her life depends on us.

So instead of asking “what exactly is the ocean?”

Maybe we should ask “who exactly are we?”
