I prefer Western festivals such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Halloween; they all have a view of the horizon. 'Horizon' means 'happy'. I love to mess around with English words and turn them into Chinese ones, which shows my patriotism. I don't really like some of the Chinese festivals where family and friends just get together to crack sunflower seeds, peel peanuts, eat candy, play mahjong, feast on chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and watch various gala performances - it's so cliché. Chinese festivals lack excitement and are filled with a heavy traditional atmosphere that I don't enjoy. I usually sleep through Chinese holidays. Western festivals are different - they're more exciting and crowded, and people tend to go wild. Among the three major Western festivals, I love Halloween the most. It involves mystery, debauchery, romance, and eccentricity, where people aren't quite human and ghosts aren't quite ghostly. Since there are too many days when people look human and ghosts look ghostly, we need a breakthrough, a reconstruction, a moment of unresolved passion between humans and ghosts. Therefore, this year on Halloween night (October 31st), I plan to host a "Human-Ghost Fusion Halloween Party." "Your soul is a carefully selected landscape, where the charm of the masked Bergamo dance unfolds" - this is Paul Verlaine's exquisite poetic symbol. On Halloween night, one must appear in a mask. I've chosen a mask made from the portrait of William Shakespeare, the king of drama and poetry during the British Renaissance. I'm currently practicing English recitation because there will be many foreigners (we Beijing residents often refer to them as 'ghosts'). So, I plan to shock these 'ghosts' with my English chanting, delivering Shakespeare's famous lines - "Men have hearts of marble, women of wax" - in a tone that's neither rhythmic nor arrhythmic, but still manages to convey the message. Ghost Festival shouldn't be overly solemn. Using Shakespeare's mask and poetry for a grand opening, followed by an electrifying pole dance. Pole dancing originated from a fertility worship dance in a primitive tribe in the 12th century, and later became popular in Canadian strip clubs in the 1980s. Dancers usually dress provocatively, using the pole to seduce the audience with suggestive eyes and fiery dance moves. However, we won't do anything so vulgar. We'll perform a white-collar lady's dreamy pole dance. It must feature an office lady dressed in professional attire stepping onto the stage. As the high-energy music plays, she slowly removes her work clothes, revealing her arms, shoulders, waist, and hips. She should exude a touch of workplace confidence and perhaps some romantic grievances. When she fully reveals her lacy bra and black suspenders, the crowd will erupt in cheers and whistles. Then, the cold and elegant white-collar lady will release her long hair, letting it flow gracefully as she dances sensually between the poles, resembling butterflies fluttering or swallows darting. Remember, the pole dance performance on Halloween night must not resemble the provocative style of Coco Lee or Jolin Tsai; that would ruin the mood. We need to recruit white-collar cultural women who are pure at heart and have extraordinary dance moves. Their beauty should be refined and not lewd, as if they are building a steel pole within their souls. Now I understand why the upright British people love poles so much - because the central pole can make a woman with both courage and gentleness burst with passion. Don't forget to put hundred-yuan bills into the various stockings of the elegant and sensitive white-collar ladies dancing between the poles - it's a must! Last year, one of my tall sisters from a foreign company spontaneously danced on the pole at a nightclub. Many bills were slipped into her stockings. Surprisingly, one of them was a twenty-yuan note. Who could be so stingy? How can they face the woman's passionate dance and beautiful legs?
