Posted by: Brendan at January 4, 2004 01:41 AM personally I think 'serendipity' is a poor choice for yuanfen.
Posted by: Karen at January 4, 2004 06:40 AM Yuanfen is definately one of those words that I never bother to translate to myself in my head.
Posted by: gansa at January 29, 2004 06:48 AM It is hard to say whether the word"yuanfen" is a word of superstition, in our real life, it does give people a perception that it is a thing that is predestined by the creator of the world.
However, the public perception that Cantopops are second class music was yet to be changed.
Around 1971, Sindokla (仙度拉), a minor singer who had never sung Cantopop before, was invited to sing the first Cantonese TV theme song, "The Yuanfen of a Wedding that Cries and Laughs" or "Tai Siu Jan Jyuan" (啼笑姻緣).
The beautiful music, the Classical Chinese lyrics, the increasing popularity of televisions, and the rising of Hongkonger's self-respect were the reasons that "The Yuanfen of a Wedding that Cries and Laughs" became a big hit.
Reflecting on their experiences in Shenzhen, Dr. Fan’s respondents referred often to such fateful coincidences (yuanfen), those unplanned occurrences that decisively influenced the eventual shape of their lives.
Wang’s early dream to study abroad was dashed when her belongings–including her money, visa and airplane ticket–were stolen.
While destiny (mingyun) has its deepest roots in the Confucian understanding of ‘heaven’s will’ (tianming), coincidence (yuanfen) is more intimately linked to the Buddhist worldview.
Yuan (缘) o Yuanfen (缘份; Pinyin: yuan=2 fen=4) es un concepto chino relacionado con el budismo que significa el principio predeterminado que dicta las relaciones y encuentros de las personas, generalmente de manera positiva, tal como la afinidad entre amigos o amantes.
El Yuanfen pertenece a la familia de conceptos conocidos en teología como determinismo.
Algunos creen que las fuerzas que manejan y las causas detrás del yuanfen son las acciones hechas en las reencarnaciones previas.
The evening Min first spies the pale Chinese violinist who will be her husband, she senses the sorrow her life will hold.
Her mother had told her of the Chinese myth that every man and woman "was joined at birth to their mate by an invisible, enchanted thread." She had also spoken of a kind of fate called yuanfen: "that apportionment of love which is destined for you in this world." Min's yaunfen proves greatly insufficient.
Her thread turns from enchanted to constricting as her husband brutally trains their youngest daughter to be the successful American violinist he missed becoming himself.
And what websearch is complete these days without consultation of wikipedia.com, which I think perhaps has the most educational definition.
I especially like how it explains what yuanfen is not, and where it is correctly used and what the opposite meaning would be.
Educational purposes aside, I think I like the “fateful coincidences” interpretation the best, even though it might not academically be the most accurate.

There's a remarkable thing about being a foriegner: you can be an instant friend to anyone.
I love this concept of yuanfen, especially as it applies to relationships: of lives colliding in the darkness, meeting people you never expected to, learning new things and gaining new perspectives and then moving on, like a shadow retreating at daybreak.
