If you love your husband, leave him alone. And if you think you are attractive, don't say it.

This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have  41  the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain."

Ang Lee was  42  upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a  43  husband until 1990.

Jane did not for once think of leaving him,  44  would many modern girls who are  45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're  46  on their luck.

47  despair surrounded her now and then, Jane  48  Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius  49  - only his time had not yet  50 .  For six years, Ang was supported  51  by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States.

At one time, Ang wanted to  52  computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane  53 . She simply would not let her poor but  54  husband go out and find just any old job.

In  55  six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook.

Ang has said time and  56  that he would never have  57  without Jane's love and trust.

But  58  an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said  59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone."

The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 —as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past  60  were never superficial.

Where the heart is?

In three days I will leave China behind for a few weeks and head back to Australia to spend time with my family and friends. This will be a very   31   trip for me as, for the first time ever, I will not be   32   to my hometown. You see, my parents sold their house in my hometown and moved about 500 kilometers away.

As it   33  me I would be returning to a whole new place, I was   34   with two questions: Do I still have a hometown? Where is my home? I needed to do some research.

After reading A Story from the Chinese Diaspora, I learned I was not alone in feeling   35   about where I call home. In the story, a Chinese American girl   36   with finding her identity and   37   her past with her present. I realized the place we live now and the place we lived then, have a great   38   over who we are, where we long to be and where we feel   39   and safety.

Back to My Motherland   40   of a woman who left her motherland years ago and started a new life in America--the place she now calls home. But,   41   some people move on from their hometown and   42   a new life somewhere else, others have a strong   43   to the city that they grew up in. In Hometown Boy we learn of a man who clings(坚持) to his   44  and continues to make his hometown a   45   of his life for now and for the future. He makes it his   46   to give back to the community that has given so much to him and his family.

As I   47   the days until I head back to my motherland and   48   where exactly my home is, I am   49   to decide where my heart is. And quite   50  , my heart is wherever I am.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he  31  from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months  32  it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收缩). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch  33  on his face.

I said to my son, “Keaton,  34  will pay any more attention to your scar  35  you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother  36 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  37  high — glad he was alive.

  38 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better,  39  you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer  40 .

But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your  41 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false  42 .

One of my friends in college was very  43 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his  44   for about 10 seconds. This man felt  45  about himself and spent most of his time  46  about other people’s comfort and welfare.  47 , people ignored his looks. What people  48  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.

Therefore, concentrate on what you value  49  yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same  50 .
