Dude,u don't know China!

If u are courageous enough to stay,U are gonna get used to it.

But when that day comes,U will hate yourself.

No matter how hard you try,u can never be somebody that u are not!

With the most "successful" Olympics going on,they think that they have made all people in the world believe that China has changed for the better.As a matter of fact,they only have a better disguise,which is for our "national interest" of course.In face of national interest,each individual's interest is totally negligeable.Don't ever tell me that it's for the long term,it's all for our own decendents,blah blah blah.We don't live in tommorrow,we live in today.And if our basic rights are not respected or even granted,we are then not sure any more if we should have any decendent to suffer from all these despicable violation of HRs.It's ture that this has never happened to me,but I'm gonna be old one day,like these two respectable and honorable old ladies,would I be ready for the sacrifice to the national interest?

P.S. CCP,I wish U a long long life!

Two great Olympic jokes circulating in Beijing

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:43:19 GMT

Here's one shared by Tim Johnson of China rises:

“At the closing ceremonies, International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge announces that the IOC has decided that the next Olympics will be held again in Beijing instead of London since the games were so successful. The news sends millions of Chinese into a faint. Even the doctors swoon. Only the police are strong enough to withstand the news, and they immediately shout in unison: “Go to hell, Rogge!”

The other joke is on "You and me" the song sung by Sarah Brightman and Liu Huan at the Olympic opening ceremony which is now said to be a song about rising oil and food prices, since "you" in Chinese is a homonym for oil (油) while "mi" sounds like rice (米).

La chanson du jour/Song of the day:New York, I Love You But you're bringing me down

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:11:26 GMT

New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, you're safer
And you're wasting my time
Our records all show
You are filthy but fine
But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they'd run out of crime
New York, you're perfect
Don't please don't change a thing
Your mild billionaire mayor's
Now convinced he's a king
So the boring collect
I mean all disrespect
In the neighborhood bars
I'd once dreamt I would drink
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
There's a ton of the twist
But we're fresh out of shout
Like a death in the hall
That you hear through your wall
New York, I Love You
But you're freaking me out
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
New York, I Love You
But you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool
Where I'd happily drown
And oh.. Take me off your mailing list
For kids that think it still exists
Yes, for those who think it still exists
Maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And myabe you're right
Maybe you're right
Maybe I'm wrong
And just maybe you're right
And Oh..
Maybe mother told you true
And they're always be something there for you
And you'll never be alone
But maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And just maybe she's wrong
Maybe she's wrong
And maybe I'm right
And if so, is there?

“杨沛宜小朋友的落选主要是因为考虑到对外形象，是为了国家利益。”-陈其钢

"Our little YANG Peiyi hasn't been chosen mostly because of her appearance,which is in the interest of our nation"-Mr.CHEN Qigang

"Notre petite YANG Peiyi n'a pas été choisi surtout à cause de son apparence,ce qui est dans l'interêt de notre pays"-M.CHEN Qigang

2008北京奥运会开幕式音乐总监陈其钢在一个专访中透露，开幕式上那首震撼人心的《歌唱祖国》并非舞台上的“微笑天使”林妙可所唱，那个稚嫩、真挚的声音来自一位7岁的小女孩杨沛宜。

　　陈其钢透漏，杨沛宜小朋友的落选主要是因为考虑到对外形象，是为了国家利益。

对陈其钢的这个说法，部分网友表示认同，称林妙可与杨沛宜都是“英雄”。但是也有网友进行了反驳，认为“假唱不好，让小孩假唱更甚”、“请把最后一点纯真留给孩子”。

　　据悉，7岁的杨沛宜是北师大附中的学生，开幕式后，杨沛宜接受了央视记者的采访。当记者问她有没有觉得遗憾时，她回答说不遗憾，开幕式上有自己的声音已经很满足了。

Mr.CHEN Qigang,chief executive of music in the opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympics has revealed in an interview that the raw and sincere voice we've heard in the opening ceremony was actually not from LIN Miaoke who has been metioned as "smiling angel",but from a 7-year-old girl,YANG Peiyi.

"Our little YANG Peiyi hasn't been chosen mostly because of her appearance(her buck teeth to be exact),which is in the interest of our nation."Mr.CHEN said.

Some of the netizens agreed with Mr.CHEN claiming both LIN and YANG heroes;while others disagreed and disapproved of lip-synching let alone that from a kid,they also urge the society to preserve the innocence and purity of the kids.

It is reported that YANG Peiyi is a primary school student from the Middle School attached to Beijing Normal University.After the ceremony,she accepted to be interviewed by a CCTV correspondent.She said that she had no regret at all and felt fully contented to have her own voice heard in the ceremony.

---------------------------------------------

I hesitate to make a comment on that partly because pratically nobody reads my blog,and partly because I've been acting like a radical youth according to some friends of mine.But I just can't help,to hell with it all!!!

Alright,what I'm gonna say is that the whole story really reminds me of our national policy of building a creditable society.I wonder if they mean what they say at all.When in rome,do as the romans do;When in China,do as the CCP members do.Honestly,I'd say it's way too hard for u,my fellow chinese to be creditable, and there's a thousand and one miles to go,BON COURAGE!!!

Quote of the day from "Le Monde"

Sat, 02 Aug 2008 03:45:34 GMT

"Nombre de Chinois, et pas seulement ceux qui soutiennent le PCC, ont du mal à s'affranchir d'une vision paranoïaque de l'histoire. Ils sont convaincus que l'Occident conspire afin d'entraver l'essor de la Chine, jadis humiliée, aujourd'hui renaissante. Il faut qu'ils comprennent qu'une puissance n'est grande que si ses minorités souhaitent l'intégrer sur une base volontaire, et non forcée."

Due to some political reason and the sensitive period we're in,only the english tranlation is available here. You all understand english,don't u?

Many Chinese,not only those who support the CCP,have difficuties freeing themselves from a paranoid vision of history.They are convinced that the western world are conspiring to impede the development of China humiliated in the past and re-emerging nowadays.They need to understand that a great power is powerful only when the minorities are willing to be part of it,but not forced.

Oh,No,oh~what?wha-wha-wha-whawhat?......U thought u were so prodigious?And it turns out that u're nothin!nothin' at all,like we say in chinese,go find a corner and cry out loud for your pitiable artistic creativity!If u guys still don't get it about what I'm talkin' about,let the pictures tell u everything.

Look at this first!Yeah,could we possibly be more familiar with this gigantic nest?Ai Weiwei,son of the renowned revolutionary poet Ai Qing,and most importantly,member of the designing team once said,"the bird's nest is the place where ambitions and ideals of our time crash and clash",see how hard he tried to impress innocent and ignorant people.

But hold on a second,take a deep breath,and get ready for the next picture

So from the lovely picture,u can see a bunch of peasants in south china(that's where we can find bamboo) building something,wait,doesn't it look similar to...what is it?Sorry,anybody gives me a clue?Oh,yeah,the bird's nest which has cost 2.2 billion RMB and some unknown migrant workers' lives.The peasants said when they first saw "Bird's Nest" on TV,"hey,that's like the basket we use everyday...let's have some fun and make one like that in our village!"Thx,my country brothers!You're a perfect example of how people make history,Bravo,and thank u again and again.

P.S:Give me one more reason to trust U ballyhooed "artists"!

LoL,show time!

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:53:07 GMT

This is my first laughing-out-loud since I don't know how long,so I'm feeling this urge to share it with u guys.

No kidding,that's what I called creativity & imagination!

I hope u all wil enjoy it and laugh,cuz it's good for your mental health!hahaha~

Sometimes U just don't need to give a damn about others

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:15:10 GMT

It's amazing when you can just give give give and never having to care about what u gonna get in return.I tried it.But then I realize it's totally unfair to myself.Everybody's got his or her principles,a basic one of mine is that I don't wanna be a disturbing person under any circumstance,which has as a matter of fact made me rather self-concious.

What's wrong with me?Or should I say what's wrong with my country or people?Take the "holy" olympic for example,my fellow bejingers almost give up their life routine for the day planned to include so many "eight"s carrying the superstitious wishes of become richer.Unfortunately,u r probably gonna find the reality going exactly to the opposite.10 years of careful planning,a budget of billions,and the tears of blood of tens of thousands of migrant workers(though they're always grining in the camera of **TV),just to make a good impression,nothing more.Even "senior citizens" have begun to learn english as if they didn't have to worry about their pension scheme or the housing loan of their children.No, aparently,they don't.That's the power of the "holy" olympics,isn't it?It can help u forget all your pains better than any pain killer,or any sort of self-hypnosis or brain washing.The CCP is happy,so are the media.It looks like everybody's happy!What a wonderful world,isn't it?

But wait!!!!Weren't we weeping over the tragic earthquake?Weren't we giving our possesions to show that the victims were not alone.And now,nobody cares any more.Any teenager talking about that with his or her pals would be considered uncool.'Cause the Oylimpics are coming.Yeah,let's go to beijing,to our beloved capital where grandpa Mao used to live and kill.But the road to beijing has a series of toll-gates,U barely reach the last one when some cute guys holding guns and dressed in green ask you kindly to go back to your couch to watch.'cause beijing has been reserved for international friends,easpecailly those with blond hair and blue eyes.Don't bother to argue that the olympics are supposed to be the people's Olympics.Don't be surprised when you see radars or artilleries near the national stadium,scientic and technological olympics,the slogan remeber?The Central party always keeps its promises.And the new slogan has recently been annouced as "safe olympics","See?that's how we keep our promises!"

Oh!!!!My almighty lord!If u can hear me pray,would u teach my people to be proud,only a little prouder would be enough.'Cause what I see aroud me are just spiritual slaves,wake them up!Tell them that they won't be veritable respectable just because human-beings from the west say that they are,and they won't be losers either only because the westerners call them that.

A Midsummer Afternoon's Dream

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:40:36 GMT

I just had a dream about you,just 1o ten minutes ago.

And now I'm enjoying my half piece of watermelon to the melody of Jack Johnson's new album"Sleep through the static",what a coincidence!

"Can I call u my watermelon girl?"

'Cause my mind is now filled with the warmth of your smile,the touch of your curly hair,and your voice so soft that used to take my breath away.I can feel the summer breeze caressing my cheek just thinking of you. I tried in vain to remember every single detail of my midsummer afternoon's dream.The only image that survives from my forgetfulness is me trying to talk to you on the phone,and u tell me that u're on the caribean beach getting suntanned.That's my only chance to talk to u since I ran into you on the street that leads to your senior high.God,it feels like ten years ago!What kind of woman u've grown up to be?Do u still remember me?Did u have any idea that I always liked u,I can't say love,because at that time I didn't know what love tastes like,even now it's a pretty vague concept to me.How could u know?U were so spoiled by all the boys after you?Are u married?Are u happy?Do u think of me sometimes in your beautiful life?If u do,is it when you're high or low?All of a sudden,I feel like crying like a kid,like when some older kid has snatched the ice cream from his grip.It would be easy if it's just an ice cream,no,it's my youth,my innocence and naivety,my puppy love,and my unsent kisses that are fading away from my life.

I could've finished reading the text of Aldous Huxley, but I dosed off in the middle of it.

I'm glad that I did.

He Posted a Plea

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 14:17:14 GMT

On a Sunday evening last November, Patrick Moberg, 21, a website developer, was in the Union Square subway station in New York City. "Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed this girl," he says. "She had bright blue shorts and dark blue tights and a flower in the back of her hair." New York's fun if you're a guy -- the city's lousy with gorgeous women. But this one was different. She was his perfect girl.
When the number 5 train pulled into the station, the two got on. "I was enthralled," he says. "I noticed details like her braided hair and that she was writing in a pad. I couldn't shake the desire to talk to her."

Taking a deep breath, he headed her way. Just then the train pulled into the Bowling Green station. The doors opened, a rush of humanity swarmed in, and then suddenly, she was gone.
He considered giving chase, but there's a fine line between blind love and stalking. He thought of plastering the station with posters. Then a brainstorm: the Internet. "It seemed less encroaching," he says. "I didn't want to puncture her comfort zone."
That night, the world had a new website: nygirlofmydreams.com. On it, Patrick declared, "I Saw the Girl of My Dreams on the Subway Tonight." He drew a picture of the girl etched in his mind, along with a portrait of himself with this disclaimer pointed at his head: "Not insane."
The website spread virally, and soon he had thousands of leads. Some were cranks, and some were women offering themselves in case he struck out.
Two days later, he got an e-mail from someone claiming to know the girl. He even supplied a photo. It was her. She was an Australian interning at a magazine, and her name was Camille. And she wanted to meet too.

Their first meeting was awkward. And why not? It was set up by Good Morning America. Like the rest of the media, GMA saw a great love story and pounced. But being sucked into a media maelstrom isn't necessarily conducive to a nascent love affair. "There was a lot of uncertainty on how to act around each other," Patrick said. And in the back of Camille's mind, a nagging thought: Who is this guy? The media circus eventually moved on, giving the two a chance to talk without a microphone present.
"Everything I found out about her was another wonderful thing," says Patrick. She was smart, funny and a big personality, a nice fit for this shy guy. "And," he continues quietly, "we've been hanging out together every day since."
Thinking back, he sighs. "It's amazing everything went without a hitch."

Karma,is it?

Stream of Consciousness

How come this time the waiting period seems to be exceptionally long,so long that I don't really care about the results anymore.Things have been so emotional lately,and i feel a little exhausted mentally,probably because I've been repeating the same series of facial expressions time and again.

I didn't do the tutorial today,for my "student" is kinda busy.Actually I was happy to hear this,I finally get to treat myself a cosy weekend. Guess what?I made salad for myself,god I miss that taste;It's certainly no big deal,but after I tell u about the first thing I ever cooked successfully,u'll understand what I feel.

To tell the truth,I miss more than just the taste,I miss the sunshine,I miss the azure,I miss the rosé,I miss the music at la fée verte,I miss the parties,I miss the midnight drunk walking...these are the past,I can't dwell on the past,I got to move on,although I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna live that kind of life again sooner or later.This is what we call destiny,it's not that I base all my decisions on it,but that I chose to follow it without even being aware of its existence.The idea is that destiny is in fact the embodiment of your inner thoughts.Okay,I should stop playing John Locke.

Happy end of the weekend,by the way.

La vie est un trésor!

Wed, 21 May 2008 04:02:21 GMT

Il y a eu trop d'émotion ces temps-ci,la revolte au tibet,le séism à sichuan,puis j'ai appris hier soir que mon oncle est décédé.Je me disais qu'il était temps pour moi de retrouver la tranquililté.Cependant,la vie n'as pas encore cessé de m'offrir de bonnes surprises.Ce matin,j'ai eu de bonnes nouvelles de Victor.Il m'a expreimé des sentiments très sincères à propos de notre amitié,ça m'a fait énormément chaud au coeur,et je me sens fiers d'avoir un ami qui me comprend tellement.Comme je lui ai dit,il y a 6 milliards de gens sur la terre et nous nous sommes devenus des amis,c'est vraiment un cadeau de la vie.Je suis submergé de gratitude et de joie,merci,Victor!Je t'adore!Tu étais,tu es,et tu seras toujours mon meilleur ami!Vive l'amitié!

Realize

This song by Colbie Caillat is probably gonna be one of my "songs of the year".Everytime I listen to it,I just can't help imagining what my life would've become if I had realized something and if somebody had realized the same thing.However,what's past is past.Life is beautiful just because it's unpredictable and irreversible,isn't it?

Enjoy the lyrics!

"Take time to realize
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in
Take time to realize
That I am on your side( This all can pass you by)
Didn't I, didn't I tell you
But I can't spell it out for you
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I can't spell it out for you
If you just realize
What I just realized
That we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realize
What I just realized
We'd never have to wonder
If we missed out on each other, now

It's not the same,no it's never the same
If you don't feel it too
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way
It could be the same for you"

I despise U people!!!

Tue, 13 May 2008 12:23:29 GMT

Yesterday afternoon I learnt about the earthquake in Sichuan which has shaken and shocken the whole country including Shanghai.On the next day which is today,I asked a guy if he felt anything.He said no followed by a black humor--"there's one thing in China that I wish to become less,it's the people,so let 'em die,after all,no severe earthquake can possibly happen here in Shanghai." I immediately felt offended and my sense of justice challenged,so I responded:"Would u say the same thing if one of your family members were travelling there when the quake happened?"He then was made speechless.Is it a good timing to show off your "hukou(literally means residential registration--one of the most absurd things existing since humanity)"? I'm not against any sort of humor,but it can only be told when the timing is right,or it becomes harsh and mean.

I have to confess that I once made the similar kind of remark luckily interpreted by my french teacher as black humor when SARS was raging in China.His kindness actually taught me a lesson that I should never make jokes about others' misfortune,that's what uncivilized people do in general.

So if Shanghai wants to become a so-called cosmopolitan city like NYC,London or Paris,civilize your indigenes first,Otherwise it's just a china vase stuffed with high-rises, brand shops and snobby people speaking pidgin english.

Last but not least, I wanna pray with all my heart that the rescued will live in happiness,and that the dead will rest in peace ever after!!!!

Is life a test?

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:48:45 GMT

I've been through so many exams in my life,so many that I can't even count them out.So logically,I should be used to taking tests or being tested.What I find hard to understand is that,the more tests I take,the more nervous I become before the test.Like I did this afternoon,once I stepped out of the "test room",I just could help smiling as if there were a hanger in my mouth.As soon as people who were waiting ouside saw my face,they murmured that I must be sure to pass,which they thought is why I smiled.As a matter of fact,I was laughing at myself for having been so nervous before the test and so awkard during it.I might be too strict with myself,yeah,possible,but this is just not the way I like it to be.And the word I'm now looking for is "anyway~~~" ,it belongs to the past.People get sick if they dwell on the past,don't they? Thinging about the tests I'm going to take,I came up with the question"Is life a test?"It sort of is for sure.

What the hell is goin' on?

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:38:30 GMT

I do surf the net everyday,and I'll be upset if don't have access to the internet for one single day,BUT DO NOT CONFUSE ME WITH THE NATIONALIST NETIZENS,PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!!

I added the red heart to my msn user name only because my friends asked me to,and disppointing them would be the last thing I want especially on this sort of occasion.

To be honest,I really don't and can't appreciate this kind of fake patriotism,which is to my eyes extremely akin to the "Support the Troops" bumper stickers on SUVs in the U.S..I am actually the one who got really disappointed.I'm so disappointed that my people still don't get it,they just don't realize to what extent they are manipulated.Believe it or not,I'd rather trust god than politicians. And call me a traitor if it makes u feel any better!

As for boycotting french brands,I just wanna say "don't be ridiculous" just as what I said to the people trying to boycott everything related to Japan a couple of years ago.Probably,they are the same bunch of people.Go for a walk on the major commercial streets,if u don't find sony product,come to me and get paid $10,000,000,I'm serious.Of course U have the right to express your anger and to show your "chinese heart",but will it help bring down the CPI or the rocketing house price??? Maybe a lot of people will lose their jobs if this boycott goes on determinedly to the end. Is that what u want?

I can't help remembering the quote from Celine Dion :

"I'm not a politician, but I don't think it's about politics either. We're talking about Olympics. We're talking about hardworking people. We're talking about young kids who have dreams, and I think we should give them a chance to go on with their dreams. Let's reunite the whole world together and make it a peaceful moment and event."

Simply inspirational!

So for the kids,stop the crap so that u won't feel embarassed by the innocent questions from them.

Am I ready to get involved in another relationship?

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:26:15 GMT

I can hear the message that somebody sent to me,I know my heart's been calling for love ,but my past life story has made me quite self-conscious.A guy with nothing really worthy of being noticed,eithor physically or mentally,this image I have of myself won't fade away until I succeed academically and become financially soluable,which means I don't actually have much time to waste,of course whether having a raltionship is a waste of time is yet to be discussed.What I do know is that a relationship is more than just kiss or sex,it's a commitment at least for a period of time of your lifetime.And I don't want to hurt anyone or get hurt myself,which is why I'm so cautious about it.I admit that being all by myself is not the best lifestyle,but isn't that worthy when I trade some loneliness for a sense of achivement and self-confidence?Yes,this is what I need for now.Like I always said,life is a drama,what u've got to do is to fully enjoy your part in it.Although it's not my favorite movie genre,I do wish my life drama a romantic comedy instead of a horror,tragedy or even an adventure with a happy ending.From time to time,I surprised myself with how much more rational a person I've grown up to be, maybe that's what it takes to be a man.

Shanghai State of Mind

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 15:52:44 GMT

I freaked out once again an hour ago.

I should say sorry to myself for saying these curses to somebody I care about.I swear it was just some emotional impulsion,I mean, I was totally carried away by my emotion and I never meant to hurt anyone.

I've been trying to be a nice guy since forever,unfortunately,I'm not nice enough by nature.There are some corners deep in my heart where my purest and most vulnerable feelings are hidden,well protected.And if in any case these feelings are disturbed or maltreated,my defensive nerves will imediately be activated,and the whole me becomes out of control.The darkest side of mine will emerge from my seemingly gentle face.This is absolutely what I wanna live without,but my every attempt to get rid of it ended up in vain.

All I can say is sorry,and all I can do is to be a better me.

The Understandable Einstein

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 14:46:46 GMT

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...

"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.

"My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude..."

"My political ideal is democracy. Let every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized. It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and reverence from my fellow-beings, through no fault, and no merit, of my own. The cause of this may well be the desire, unattainable for many, to understand the few ideas to which I have with my feeble powers attained through ceaseless struggle. I am quite aware that for any organization to reach its goals, one man must do the thinking and directing and generally bear the responsibility. But the led must not be coerced, they must be able to choose their leader. In my opinion, an autocratic system of coercion soon degenerates; force attracts men of low morality... The really valuable thing in the pageant of human life seems to me not the political state, but the creative, sentient individual, the personality; it alone creates the noble and the sublime, while the herd as such remains dull in thought and dull in feeling.

"This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of herd life, the military system, which I abhor... This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism on command, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism -- how passionately I hate them!

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man... I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence -- as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature."

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 05:46:04 GMT

Sorry,I just freaked out about nothing.And that was really not supposed to happen.Then I tried to squeeze my mind for a reason,and I realize seeing somebody happy can be hurting in some cases,especially when you haven't experienced true happiness for a long long time.Do you guys know about the question that I fear the most? Et voila "Are you happy?"Of course I can say "Yes,absolutely!" to any of the askers,but I can never fool my heart.And that's the very problem.Can anybody teach me a sort of trick or magic to fool my beating heart or to ignore what my heart says.

A friend just said to me:It's all your fault,it's you who have put yourself under such great pressure. When someone is so yearning for success,they are likely to neglect the tiny simple happiness in their life.Give yourself a break!"This is really heart-warming.Thanks,pal.I feel a bit relieved at the moment,and yet I can't have a "take it easy"attitude towards my future.C'est mon avenir qui est en jeu.Maybe writing this note is already a relaxing"break",so I think I'm just gonna start hitting the books.

人質

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:28:52 GMT

我和你啊存在一種危險關係 You and me, stuck in a dangerous relationship
彼此挾持這另一部分的自已 Both of us have held hostage a part of each other
本以為這完整了愛的定義 Imagining this would be a completion of love
那就乖乖的守護著你 And we would belong to each other for ever
相愛變成猜忌懷疑的爛遊戲 When love is turned into a sophisticated mind game
規則是要憋著呼吸越靠越近 And when its rule is you and me getting closer and closer,holding our breath
但你的溫柔是我唯一的沉溺 But I'm so much drown in you,in your tenderness
你是愛我的就不怕有縫隙 You do love me,don't you? Why do I see fears of freedom in you?
在我心上用力的開一槍 Shoot at my heart, with all your strength
讓一切歸零在這聲巨響 Let it all go back to nothing after the blast
如果愛是說什麼都不能放 If love means never let go
我不掙扎反正我也沒差 I won't struggle,'cause it won't make any difference
人質在這一刻得到釋放 Hostages of ourselves will be freed at last
相愛的純粹落得如此下場 If our love ends up like this
你滿意嗎我們都別說謊 Will you be satisfied? Let us quit lying

Right before I post my translation of "Hostage"by A-mei, I found a better version in a blog,which has blown me away.'Cause it's much more lyrical and rhymed.It's an enormous pity that there's only four lines.Gosh,Do I wanna be enchanted by the whole version!

在我心上用力的開一槍　　Put a bullet into my heart
讓一切歸零在這聲巨響　　In this thunder all shall restart
如果愛是說什麼都不能放　If love means never let go,
我不掙扎　　　　　　　　I won't struggle.
反正我也沒差　　　　　　Difference there is no.

And the whole note is well written, so i'm posting it as well,without the writer's permisson.But I ensure you all that there's no business purpose and I 100% support the intellectual property rights!

【電影】Harold and Moude, and Freud's death drive

I could not help thinking of Freud while watching this movie. This is one of the most terrific films capable to review and to re-examine his concept of 'death drive'. In rough definition, death drive refers to "the bodily instinct to return to the state of quiescence that preceded our birth":

The death drive, according to Freud's later writings (Beyond the Pleasure Principle, "The Uncanny"), explains why humans are drawn to repeat painful or traumatic events (even though such repetition appears to contradict our instinct to seek pleasure). Through such a compulsion to repeat, the human subject attempts to 'bind' the trauma, thus allowing the subject to return to a state of quiescence (ref.1).

And in psychoanalytic theory, the death drive seems to oppose Eros: "Here Eros is characterized as the tendency towards cohesion and unity, whereas the death drive is the tendency towards destruction" (ref.2).

It seems that Harold would be the prefect example covered the vast shadow of death drive, for his thousand-times committing (performing) suicide, and for his eccentric addiction to death, as he re-decorates his Jaguar into a hearse, and attends funerals (instead of churches) for his own peace.

But, is Harold's queer behavior a repetition of painful or traumatic events? Do these acts oppose to Eros? Is his action a pursuit of returning to a state of quiescence? How could an action be a painful repetition and meanwhile be a pursuit of quiescence?

Obviously, Harold's case is not only the prefect model of 'death drive', but also the one to challenge the idea: the reason that Harold performs suicide is not a repetition of any traumatic events in his life, but an intention of grabbing other's (his mother’s) attention. What he hungers for are not any of destructions, but for the care, concern and love from his mother. In this point of view, Harold's act is far from the opposition against Eros; on the contrary, it is still a pursuance to Eros, which is actualized by his eagerness to mother's care and love, his tendency toward cohesion and unity (a state like an infant in mother's uterus). And In this point of view, 'death drive' is no longer the desire of returning to a state of quiescence; it is a proclamation in which the subjects shout for their instinct for Eros. It is an inmost desire of returning (or attaching) to the big Other, to the structures, and to Eros.

This is the essence of human living. Unlike sexual drive which compels people to attach to certain structures (big Others), death drive is the impulsion which stimulates people to change, that is, to detach from current structures (and seek for other ones). In fact, sexual drive and death drive should be two sides of one coin: wherever there is a structure, there is resistance; whenever there is attachment, there is detachment, and vice versa. In this frame, death drive is the core of our resistance, and thus is the kernel of human action. And these do explain Harold's dilemmatic feelings: he not only longs for Mother's love, but also tries his best to get rid of his mother's control at the meantime. In fact, Harold's performing suicide designates a 'triple death': first in the symbolic level, a pseudo-death he performs carrying out all those meanings behind; second in the imagined level, a death resisting the carelessness of the mother; and third in the real level, a death resisting his entire reality, his entire existence (which does not really exist, due to the totalitarian control of his mother).

Therefore, concealed by the images of death, the main thesis of Harold and Maude is indeed existence, is indeed living. Death images are just another pseudo-death; they cover the inmost eagerness of living of this fantastic film.

---

P.S. As the kernel of human action, death drive can't be more ordinary in our daily life. A-Mei's song, Hostage, is one of the best examples. Describing a dangerous relationship between lovers, it says:

在我心上用力的開一槍　　Put a bullet into my heart
讓一切歸零在這聲巨響　　In this thunder all shall restart
如果愛是說什麼都不能放　If love means never let go,
我不掙扎　　　　　　　　I won't struggle.
反正我也沒差　　　　　　Difference there is no.

Obviously, it is a metaphor of death drive. It is the awareness of realizing that death, is the ultimate escape from any predicament, and the final place where his eternal peace rest in.

Pas encore prêt à aimer le Microsoft

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 07:01:54 GMT

C'est bien le Microsoft qui a dominé et qui domine le monde informatique,et j'ai toujours le windows installé dans mon pc.Mais j'arrive pas à aimer quoi que ce soit qui est lié à cette multinationale,y compris son patron.Parce que Bill Gates a une très mauvais influence sur les jeunes qui se prennent pour un génie et qui arrête l'école en imaginant qu'ils peuvent faire du miracle un jour.Mince,j'suis allé trop loin.

Voilà, j'écris cette note juste pour parler de mon Live space.Je peux pas y accèder toute la journée,c'est vraiment embêtant.Poutant,je peux toujours écrire et me plaindre et puis envoyer sur mon blog avec windows live writer.Quelle ironie!Enfin,bref,j'en ai assez de tous les bugs dans mon système,de tous les virus, et de tous les mis-à-jours qui ralentient mon pc...

La solution ultime? Il faut que j'achete un macbook.

Celui qui conduit, c'est celui qui ne bois pas

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:55:44 GMT

Je suis allée à une party, Maman
Je suis allée à une party,
Et je me suis souvenue de ce que tu m'avais dit.
Tu m'avais dit de ne pas boire et conduire
Alors j'ai pris un sprite à la place.
Je me suis sentie fière de moi
De la manière que tu m'avais dit que je ne pouvais pas boire et conduire
Même si tous mes amis m'ont dit que je devrais.
J'ai fait un choix-santé Et ton conseil était judicieux
La party a finalement pris fin
Et les jeunes sont partis de la place quasiment tous saoûls
Je me suis rendue à mon auto
Certaine de revenir à la maison en une pièce
Je n'ai jamais envisagé ce qui allait se passer
Cela aurait été la dernière chose à laquelle j'aurais pensé
Je suis maintenant allongée sur le pavé, Maman
Et j'ai entendu le policier parler
Dire que le jeune qui m'avait heurté était saoûl
Maman, sa voix semble loin
Je baigne dans mon propre sang
Et j'ai essayé très fort de ne pas pleurer
Je peux entendre l'infirmier dire
'Cette fille va mourir'
Je suis sûre que le jeune ne sait même pas ce qui s'est passé
Pendant qu'il était très saoûl
Vu qu'il a choisi de boire et conduire
Maintenant moi je dois mourir
Donc pourquoi le monde le fait? Maman
En sachant que ça ruine des vies
Et maintenant je meurs de douleur
Dis à ma soeur de ne pas avoir peur, Maman
Dis à Papa qu'il doit être brave
Et que j'irai au Paradis
Écris La fille à Papa sur ma pierre tombale
Quelqu'un aurait dû lui dire
Que c'était mal de boire et conduire
Peut-être que si ses parents lui avaient dit
Je serais vivante aujourd'hui
Mon souffle diminue, Maman
Je commence vraiment à avoir peur
C'est un moment si soudain
Et je ne suis tellement pas prête!
J'aurais aimé que tu me tiennes dans tes bras
Pendant que je suis allongée et que je meurs.

！！！切勿酒后驾车！！！

前言~Foreword~Avant-propos

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 13:34:18 GMT

为什么有些人能够轻而易举便可功成名就，而有些人却要为此付出艰辛？甚至还有些人一切努力都付诸东流？为什么会存在这种差距呢？原因肯定不是外在的。否则，外表最完美的人一定是最成功的人。那么原因一定是内在的，差距必然是心理上、思想上的差距。由此可见是思想，这个创造力的源泉，把人们区分开来，让每个人成为独一无二的个体。也是思想，让人们在人生路上适应各种环境，冲破重重阻碍。

思想的创造力若能得以充分领会，其影响将是惊人的。可是，如果我们不够勤奋、专注，不能对其合理运用，影响有多大，就难以保证了。读者会发现，主宰思想世界的法则同物质世界的法则一样恒久不变、毋庸置疑。要达到预期的效果，就必须了解并恪守这条法则。只要这样，一定能达成目的。倘若读者懂得了力量来自于内心，懂得了自己从前的懦弱是因为依赖外界的帮助，就会毫不犹豫地去思考，端正自己的思想，昂首挺胸，以积极的心态，去创造奇迹。

显然，那些不能透彻研究这一史无前例的科学的人们，就如那些那些不承认、不感激电学原理研究为人类带来的便利的人一样，很快就会被时代甩在后面。

当然，思想能产生积极影响，必然也会产生消极影响。当我们有意无意地感到匮乏，局限，或者不和谐的时候，消极的影响就会出现。而这种消极的影响正在不知不觉中伴随着许多人。

这条法则同其他法则一样都是一视同仁的，但又在永不停息地运转着。它会毫不留情地根据人们的所作所为来“回报”他们。换句话说，就是“种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。”

财富的基础是对财富法则的认同。思想是这种法则的创造者，而且是唯一的创造者。当然，要创造一种事物，我们要先确定这种事物是可创造的，然后再能做出适当的努力。当今世界，较其五十年前（本书写于1912年），并没有多了“电”这种物质。在没人认可电可以为人类服务的时候，电是毫无用处的。现在，电的原理得到大家的认知，几乎全世界都被点亮了。同样，只有那些认可并遵循财富法则的人，才能享受财富。

现在，科学精神领导着每一个领域。其中的因果关也不再为人们所忽视。人们懂得，每个结果都对应一定的原因。所以，当人们想达到某个目标时，就会去探寻达成这一目标的条件。

所有的法则都通过归纳推理得出的。归纳推理是对大量的不同实例互相比较来找出它们共同因素。正是这种研究方法让一些文明国家更加富有，也让这些国家的人民更加博学。它让生命常青、让痛苦消亡，它跨越了洪流，它用白昼的光辉照亮长夜的黑暗；它拓展视野、加快运动、消减距离、促进交流，它赋予人类能力以翱翔长空，探幽深海。于是，人类想要尽其所能地把这种研究方法运用于自己的思维方式中，这也就不足为奇了。特殊思维方式产生特定结果，当这成为必然的时候，我们只需对这些结果进行分类处理。

这是一种科学的研究方法，只有它能保证我们的独立与自由，我们也习惯于把这种独立和自由看作不可剥夺的权利。因为一个民族的安全若要在本国和在世界上得以实现，这个国家就要作好充分的准备，也就是说，公民健康程度不断提高，公共事业和个人事务效率节节攀升，科学与艺术持续进步，并把上述内容及其他国家发展的内容作为重心集中一切力量，以艺术和道德为向导和动力，让每个人和全民族的生命得以升华。

《财富金钥》是以绝对科学真理为基础的。它将揭示我们每个人的潜能，并教会我们如何发挥其强大作用；它会帮我们提高效率，给我们注入能量；它让我们拥有更敏锐的洞察力、更灵活的头脑。读者若能领会本书中呈现的心理法则，就能掌握一种本领。这种本领必定带给读者从未奢求过的成功，让成功的滋味妙不可言。

本书从本质上介绍了精神的接纳作用和能动作用。它引导读者发现机遇、增强意志力和推理能力，如何培养和更好地运用想象力、欲望、情感以及直觉反应力。读者会变得积极主动、执着于目标，能作出明智的选择、萌生理性的同情，并全面享受更高层次的生活。

《财富金钥》传授的是意念力本身的运用，而不是介绍一种意念的替代品或者对意念的歪曲理解。它与催眠术、魔法毫无关联，也不会象任何迷幻骗术一样，让你误认为可以不劳而获。

《财富金钥》培养和开发读者对肢体的控制力，从而对健康发挥作用。它能改善和加强记忆力，开发洞察力。这是一种罕见的洞察力，一种成功人士共有的杰出特性，它让人在任何情况下都同时看清难点与可能性，能把握眼前的机遇。而其他人却让这些机遇从指缝中溜走，仍在为一些不会有任何回报的事情费尽心机。

《财富金钥》开发读者的精神力量，从而使其他人本能地认同你的能力与个性，他们将甘愿为你效劳。换句话说，就是你对人和事具有吸引力，你就是人们所谓的“幸运儿”，凡事都如你所愿；你领会了最基本的自然法则，拥有了天时地利人和；你发现自己没有极限。你懂得了吸引力法则、自然增长法则和社交、创业的制胜心理策略。

精神力量是一种创造力。它让你能够自我创造，而不是掠夺他人。这有悖于自然规律。自然的力量让小草每个叶片上又生出一对叶片。精神的力量能对人类产生同样的作用。

《财富金钥》使人明察秋毫、远见卓识，可以增长才干、陶冶情操、赶走疑虑、消除恐惧、化解抑郁。任何瓶颈、匮乏、软弱、痛苦和疾患都将不覆存在。它发掘潜能、提供动力、补给能量、注入活力，并激发人们对艺术、文学、科学的鉴赏能力。

千千万万人的生活因为这部经典籍而改变，他们放弃了模棱两可的思维方法，而遵循了支撑所有效率体系的基本原则。

美国钢铁集团主席埃尔伯特-加瑞说过：“尽管企业顾问、培训师、效率专家在大型企业的成功管理中功不可没，但是我坚信，对正确原则的认知和采纳更加重要。”

《财富金钥》给你正确的原则，教你如何实际应用-这正是它与众不同之处。《财富金钥》主张任何原则的价值都在于他的应用。许多人一生都在读书、自学、听讲座，试图证明相关原理的真正价值，却从未取得任何进展。《财富金钥》为你提供方法，让你在日常生活中以实践来证明所授原则的价值。

如今，人们的世界观已经发生转变。这种转变正在我们中间上演，成为自异教衰败以来最重要的思想转变。

这场不同文化程度、不同阶层的人们共同经历的思想革命是史无前例的。

重大科学发现不断涌现，各种资源取之不尽，科学领域充满了未知力量与可能性，这使得科学界人不再把任何理论当作不可置疑的绝对权威，也不再把任何理论归为无稽之谈。一种新文明诞生了。繁文缛节、残忍野蛮都化作历史的尘埃，被远见卓识、执着信念与服务观念取而代之。人类文明已挣脱了传统的束缚，摒弃了物质至上的糟粕。思想已经得到解放，真理也如日中天，呈现出惊人的力量。

整个世界都在目睹一种新意识的产生，见证一种新力量的出现，从而对他们有了全新认识。如果说过去的一个世纪是物质空前发展的世纪，那么这个世纪将是精神力量崛起的世纪。

物理学证实了物体由分子组成，分子由原子组成，原子又是由量子组成。正如皇家学院的安布罗斯-弗雷明先生谈到的，我们现在该做的就是证明量子由意识组成。量子的最终本质得我们人类来说是难以理解的，但是我们可以借住于它的直接表现形式——意念或意志力。

我们来看看自然中最强大的力量吧：矿物都是固态的、稳定的；动植物却在互相取代、不断演变的；在大气中，我们可以发现热能、光能、电能。每一个领域都朝着更微观的方向发展，正如在精神领域，研究对象也发生着从可见到不可见、从粗糙到精细、从低能到高能的转移。当我们了解了不可见的存在，就如同我们获得了最纯净、最活跃的能量。

正如自然界的主宰力量是不可见的，我们可以认为人类最强大的力量也是不可见的，即精神力量。精神力量在人类身上产生作用的唯一方式就是思考，换句话说，精神力量的唯一活动就是思考，而思想就是精神活动的唯一成果。

因此，加法和减法是精神力量的转移，推理是一种精神活动，想法是精神概念，问题是精神的探照灯，逻辑、论证和哲学则是精神活动机制。

思维活动会激发生理组织、大脑、神经系统、肌肉的活动。这种活动将会改变人体组织的结构。所以，只要进行一些特定的思维活动就可以彻底改变人体的生理组织形式。

这是一个将失败转化为成功的过程。勇气、力量、灵感与和谐将取代失败、绝望、匮乏、局限和纷杂，并在心中生根发芽，生活将被新的曙光所照亮。我们将脱胎换骨，并被赋予强大的精神力量，心中盛满欢乐、信心、希望和能量。已知的机遇不会再擦肩而过，未知的机遇也会接踵而至。我们将用成功的信念去感染和影响别人，促使他们协助我们不断进步。这样，我们可以吸引很多更多杰出人士加入我们的行列，更让我们周围的环境成了成功的土壤。可见，仅仅通过思考，一个人就可以改善身边的环境，更可以为自己创造条件。

你将会看到，也必须看到世界已经步入了新纪元。你将发现一个奇妙迷人的世界，充满着无限可能。一个世纪之前，任何人，只要拥有一挺格林机关枪就足以歼灭一支使用当时落后武器的军队。由此可见，只要掌握了《财富金钥》的精髓，便占据了不可思议的绝对优势，必将出类拔萃、傲视群雄。

Farewell,2007

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 04:20:48 GMT

I used to hate birthdays,because on that day everybody would ask me about my birthday wishes,and because I could not stand it when I said something without originality.The same with christmas and new year!Now you see where I'd have trouble-New year's resolution!And it's about time to reveal it!

Let's start with some flashback.2007 's been a fresh start for me.I came to this metropolis for the first time.I can say with pride now that I've been to both the occidental and the oriental paris.It's such a fascinating and booming place. And if you listen very closely,you can almost hear the city saying I'm changing,I'm vibrating!No kidding at all.

Here comes the end of 2007,I figure I can move on to 2008 with no regrets,cause I did achieve some stuff which has made my family and friends quite proud of me.Still The best part is that I've realized how much I've got to improve both physically(I've put on some weight) and spiritually.

Alright,ladies and gentlemen,I hereby unveil my new year's resolution!My new year's resolution for 2008 would be to do well in my studies,especially to pass all the exams and to stay positive and passionate in life so that I can be there for my familly and friends whatever happens.That's pretty much it!

Last but not least,I wanna wish a Yummy New Year to my Mom and Dad and all the family,Vivian in Birmingham,Victor à Lyon,Johnny in shanghai,Noriko in Tokyo,Nitcha in Bangkok,Emily in Boston...

Joyeux Nouvel An et Bonne Santé à tous!

Que l'année 2008 soit remplie de bonheurs et de belles surprises!

简介

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:11:01 GMT

自然迫使我们在生命中不断成长。无论多么不情愿，我们都无法停滞不前。每一个思想健全的人都不会只满足于身体长大，而是希望心智也同时得到健全完善，以实现身心的全面发展。

这种发展只有在个人思想、理想和行动力共同发展，并在适宜的充分条件下才能发生。因此，研究创造思维的产生过程以及如何对其应用具有极其重要的意义。其意义就在于我们能够了解生活在地球上的人类是通过什么来加快和提升自身的进化过程。

人类一直热衷于寻找真理，并探索各种通向真理的途径。在此过程中，一部特殊文献诞生了。它集思广益，超越前人之见，贯穿各派哲学，到达至高无上的真理的高度。它就是《财富金钥》。

这把“金钥”为读者打开了知识宝库的大门，引领着每一位读者把雄心与梦想变成现实。

在我们身边，由人类通过主观能动性创造的每一种事物或者机制都来源于人类意识中的一些想法。因此，这些想法是富有建设性的。“天地万物，皆有灵性”，在人类的身上通过思想意识的力量得以体现。《财富金钥》将教会读者如何灵活地、有效地运用这种力量。要想创造某种东西或条件，我们必须先在头脑中把它们勾画出来。这本书将向读者解释并引导读者如何去实现这一过程。

本书出版之前，《财富金钥》一直以二十四课的函授课程的形式出版，学生们每周会收到一课。而本书读者能够一次拥有全部二十四课，所以我有一条忠告：请不要像读小说一样阅读本书，而应该像读教科书一样，循序渐进，每周一课，认真研读。否则，读者将很难理解后面的内容，这样只会耗费精力，浪费金钱。

如果使用本书并能从中受益，读者将会发掘一个更伟大、更优秀的自己。用新知识武装头脑，去追求更崇高的人生价值；用新本领突破自我，去体验生活的奇妙与美好。

P.S:Not until I started to translate did I realize how poor my chinese is. Pathetic,huh? What's more pathetic is that the more i read it,the more i hate it. I'll post it despite it all, or you'll never know that i hated it. Haha~
