May 24 lets travel...Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the log cock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains. - John M 第一篇中文捕捞个(BLOG)如释重负,李大哥今天说我的论文算是过关了,关于答辩问题,我先不管,要是抽到我,我们组多的是文学奋青,都抢着闹着要答辩的那种,所以GNN我连PPT都不准备了。一切见机行事。李大哥家里刚添新丁,一个男娃娃,所以注意力没有以前那么集中了,估计看我们的论文也像看他娃娃用过的尿不湿一样,颜色相近内容也差不多撒。。。
那天班长跑到房间里交给大家一人一个信封,里面装着PP纸头,说是写毕业感言,弄得大家还蛮伤感的,环顾一圈,姐妹们好像还没有动笔的趋势,我也先不写,写着估计我就会哭的,大学四年,值得回忆的东西好多好多,一旦开笔,不是想刹就能刹的住的。大概一直被加拿大,欧洲还有工作的事情弄得焦头烂额,有时又兴奋无比,以至于我还没有意识到毕业的存在,眼光好像太靠前了,老是想着去了加拿大UBC以后,温哥华多么多么的美,帅哥多么多么的多,不想当NERD但是好像不拼命读书是绝对混不下去的,忽然间,论文过关了,意味着我的大学生活,至少是学术工作到此结束,愣得一下有些若有所失的感觉。四年前我这一个小P孩从杭州跑到BJ大首都读书,在天安门城楼下看升国旗都会让我的心怦怦直跳,现在每次去天安门都是当导游“毛主席左边的是中华人民共和国万岁。。。”在这个校园里,四年,天呀,四个春夏秋冬,这里我有我的爱情,友情,本来要说不满,但是人即将走,其嘎嘎也香。。。要不怎么觉得宿舍的那个厕所也格外的可爱,于是乎有了前段时间的厕所奇遇记,每天在这个小小的阴阳失调的世界里重复同样的线路,送走一波波食堂的承包商,看着学校装上宽带,改了厕所,添了葡语意大利语系,装了N个摄像头,报刊亭越办越大,电梯小姐年龄越来越小,学生活动多多,多了好多社团,新生也越来越D。。原先体育部的部员总说要最后聚一聚,可是每每看到他们,都好像在疲于找工作,没有人牵头,除了我以外也没有人响应了。。大学四年,我就要和它说再见了,真舍不得,太舍不得了。。毕业的时候我一定会哭得哗啦啦的,像我这种泪弹。。。怎么办呢,总是要毕业的呀。
我的那些花儿和草儿们,你们一定要好好的啊!宿舍里的那五朵花儿我一定最想念了,还有宝宝,对面1111的JM们,借我开水的JM们,借我笔记抄的JM们。。。她们都是牛人,其实我们宿舍的几个我还有点放心不下呢,太会享受了有嗒时候。不过FINGER CROSSED,但愿姐妹们都好好的,健康最重要的,spaces.msn.com/foreverlove1112.../先打个广告,我们宿舍的BLOG,暂时还没有内容,以后会有,到时候 CHECK IT OUT YOYO。。。
April 18 bathroom adventurefunny thing happened..i just got stuck in the bathroom for like 10 minutes...the lock was broken..and i couldnt open the door..no one was in the room except a sleeping roommate..i felt scared..it is rare..i dont feel scared very often..at a time i wanted to stop trying to open the door by bumping it really hard and trying to pull the lock out with a foot highly lifted stepping against the door..what a pic!! after i stopped doing this..then i started to walk around inside the small space,trying to figure out a way to get out..the room doesnt have a window..stinck of course..toilet paper in that basket..(almost full)..dirty..low that i almost have my head hit the ceiling..once i wondered if there was a dead body hidding above the plastic board..that was in the first year of university..the time when i watched the only horror movie in my entire life..."the ring"..
the bathroom caused a lot of troubles in my dorm. it is in the chinese squating style..it is said to be a progress in the dormitory revolution here in china..cuz there used to be only one public bathroom on every floor, i remember i talked about that with my high school friends when i first came to this uni..and they looked really jealous of me when i told them we had a seperate single bathroom in my dorm..now i doubt if it is a proud thing....anyway..6 girls live here at the same time..early in the morning we could really feel the urge to have more than 1 bathroom..that is going backwards to the behindhand toilet culture..
now i am out writing this..the bathroom is just 2 meters away from me..i could turn around any time and look at it if i need any inspiration..the small black space..with filthy stink smell coming from it..gosh i really need to switch a seat..last night..i talked to a friend about saying good bye..why people call it a "good bye" if there is nothing good..he said there were hugs and letters..well yeah..but it is an end of an era..and i hate it..last time i said good bye was to the pauls family and i still want to cry when i recall the scene..soo damn sad..only 2 months left..i mean with my university life..cant believe i have spend almost4 years here..almost 4 years live with that bathroom until today i finally have a closer look at it..i feel i need it only when i am in hurry..cant remember how many times i pee in it..haha..gross..:P..the last 2 months.there are a lot of things to do..a lot of things to look at with my widely open eyes..to feel them and to last time enjoy them...even something gross..that is part of my uni life and thats my memory..my wealth...i am gonna enjoy every second that has left until the final moment comes..i dont want to think about it now..i know how it ends..
roommates all come back and i am plucked outside the nostegia mood...hihi roommate..how is ur trip to the dentist...sucks huh?..oh the bus was crowed..haha..yeah..ur body was twisted..:P..i will be very busy in the next few days...friends come to visit..and party and fun fun fun..talk to everyone later..ciao!!
susu..peace!! April 12 in the book barright now i am in the book store&cafe place writing my thesis about the chinese fairy land poet gucheng, everything feels so pefect,fine jazz,fast internet,cheap and nice food and most important, great books, except....each time people go into the bathroom behind me the gross smell coming from it.anyway...my nose doesnt work properly right now because the cold i got 2 days agp...so...this is still a nice place, peaceful quiet little corner away from all the worries especially my professor's call...:S...being surrounded by all the books makes me feel so wisdom even i havent read any of them yet, and the more i touch them the more they stiminulate my longing for knowledge("the searching for love, the longing for knowledge and the unbarable pity for the suffering of man kind.".). also it reminds me of the scene in harry potter..without the owl..:D
the only thing i am worrying about is my thesis...kinda going through a dry spell, poems are difficult to annalyse..especially a misty the works by a poet like the one i picked..as most of the poets,he killed his wife first with an axe and hung him self on oct13,1993. He refused to grow up, refused to accept even his own son which he takes as a symbol of responsibility that only adult people...He built his own fairyland in NZ,an island where him and his wife raise chicken for food and eggs.."he is building up his own fairyland..and adapt a life style that is queer to others..but in his poem..he can always predict or mention something normal peOple think is the future....his poems are very clean..and beautiful.....reading his poem is to bring myself back to my childhood..some times the literature world likes to categarize poets into different trends..and mention the deep thinking mostly social and race awareness of the main poets....but this poet..he is kinda neglected by the literature world because of his attitude of life..he lived in an island in kiwi NZ with his wife..and never had a job..and his poems are very"childish"..but thats why he is outstanding..his life and his work is combined together..life is his work..and work is his life..."------from susu a few days ago..
back to work...yawn..need a nother cup of coffee...
February 10 my dayhave you ever started a fight just for fun and made the other person really angry at last? i did it today..have you ever be blamed for getting someone into trouble with his psycho gf just because you wrote something honest and sincere on the one's blog, i had it today..those are the 2 things i had in a single day..actually in a few minutes ago..that is a surprise of life i can say that..
it feels really bad to be blamed on something u didnt even do...and the thing is something not even worthy of any thinking or considering..but now it was like a on going torture inside my mind at the moment....and what makes it worse is the one who is torturing me doesnt respond..and leave me like i am acting like someone sticky and weird...and i am not..so i think i need to think and try to figure out a way to make myself feel good..
thing i leant from this one..u cant make everyone love you..and no matter what they say before they fall in love..they are completely idiots and phychos when they are..well..at least at the very beginning...pride is a very important thing..stand straight when necessary...not every person can be ur friend..only good people and bad peopl,race/nationality/culture matters but not much....and the rate of japanese women to be sex addict and phycho is comparatively high...no matter how normal and frendly and housewife like they look...
and i just want to tell mark brown that i had a bad day and i was kidding when we were talking..and i am sorry..hope he would give me a call sometimes..his call is always welcome..sweet voice and calm silly state..bring me a lot of strength and have the power to make me feel relaxed all in a sudden...
and except those things..i really had a great day..tired..but great!!!
peace!! January 09 most wonderful day ever!!watching the new born baby..sharing the happiness of being parents..get those touching letters from the friends of the underground hotel..enjoying the real heart communicaiton between people and doing what i like while getting paid for that..getting to know the city better..msg chatting with Ryan first time through cell..listening to the romantic love story of Romain and his wife.and his adventure in Africa....knowing the french culture more...bathing underneath the sunshine while standing on the frozen lake..oh one more thing..eating the best pizza in the world..wow.today...it can be count the most meaningful day of my life...
we started the day in one of the maternal hospitals, trying to interview one pregant woman..well..not only to interview but we also want to go inside the delivery room if possible..follow the chinese way of journalism..we must first get the permittion from the director but he seems a bit worried..hope everything will be ok..gonna fax him tomorrow...when we were sort of in the dilemma..the elevator door opened..the nurse was entering into the room..holding a new born baby..wow..my first time to see a new born..sooo holy..like an angel..fresh..blood on her face..it is a girl...8 pounds..her mother was still inside the operation room..it was not natural labor...the father was soo excited..couldnt stopped smiling..for a man..he could get any kind of title he wants...but to be a father..he needs holy power..:P
today i got those letters from my friends inside the "underground hotel"..the 17 year old boy was home already and wouldnt come back to beijing again..i know he hates the city..he wrote on his small piece of paper" sister Fang, I will be at home when u see this letter, the best thing ever happened to me during this time in beijing was to meet u and Mr.Romain at that night, you2 are the only good people i met in Beijing...you came to stay with us in such a horrible place..and u dont look down upon us.." why would i?..he is the youngest also the most friendly one in the hotel..always being curious about anything..the french.the big city..the new ideas...he worries a lot that he might bring bad image about china if his pic is ever published...he found life hard..he started to realise how important education is..not an obligatory any more but the real possesion to survive..he regreted quitting school so early...he wanted to go to france..he wanted to watch the world cup..he wanted to have his own company...his dream was kinda destroyed after the trip to Beijing..not supposed to find a job here..only came here to have an eye opener...and the city is much more than just an eye opener...I really wish him good luck..so young and soo motivated..being a Min gong all his life is such a great waste for him...he got the purest honesty inside his heart..i remember the conversation with him was soo nice..the shabby bed was nothing...
Liu the glasses guy wrote me in the letter with a very sagacious sentence" the real life is not the ideal..the ideal life will never be real..the life going on here is the real one...not exciting and flashy..but full of empressement and honesty...."
they wrote "happy new year" on the big piece of paper and the young boy..wrote"how are u doing"..the new sentence i taught him to greet except "how are u" which he already knew..i couldnt stop thinking..what i have done is soo little..and cant really change anything..this minority group..they need people to pay attention to them..they need people to care..even if it is just a normal greeting..or less..at least treat them as equal..but still..it is hard for some people..the most painful and pathetic thing between human being is not anger but indifference..the mental distance..big gap...which is made out of nothing...

January 03 Beijing underground forbidden city------>part 2The inside of the “underground Forbidden City” by Fang Su It is 9 meters from the ground at its deepest point while the average depth is 5-6 meters, the safety level that was believed enough to prevent nuclear radiation. There are mainly 4 kinds of rooms inside the hotel, 30 yuan for a single room and 20 yuan per person for a double room, besides, rooms that can hold 4 or 8 or more are also available, with a much cheaper price from 5 to 10 yuan. Damp, moldy, even spooky, far from what its name suggests, it is never an exaggeration to the whole place a “mouse burrow.” Dim light, just like the gaze of a sly mouse, keeps being sent from those bulbs sticking on the wall in every 10 meters. However, visitors still need to hold a torch when they for the first time go there due to sudden darkness. Some rooms are parallel, connected by devious internal channels, the others are pell-mell so that people could easily get lost without a good sense of direction. No ventilation, no electric signals, no flow of information. The rooms and the fading number written on each door somehow give a taste of a prison. The furniture inside couldn’t be easier: only a few wooden beds, iron bunks for 8-people room, and a small clothes closet. Sheets and blankets are only supplied when people move in. Careful observers could discover the traits left by previous guests on the wall. Those big pencil paintings almost take up the whole wall with images such as dragons, phoenix in enormous cloud, cranes and young girls. The painter shows us his, must be a he, exquisite technique and ambition as well as boredom. Visitors would find the bathroom as the biggest problem in the hotel because even the simplest sanitary condition is far beyond consideration. Tens of rooms share one bathroom, a filthy and nasty one with human excrement spilled out of the tank., giving out a smell of decaying, just like the meat gone sour. Things will be worse if the bathroom is undergoing a leaking problem because you need to not only worry about the sewage on the ground but also above your head. Obviously, it is such a wonderland for flies and bugs since they are the only guests that will never be forbidden in this “Forbidden City.” to be continued... December 30 Beijing underground hotel and its citizens....part 1Finding the city written by Fang Su
On the ground, it is the busiest and most prosperous street, so called the Champs Elysées in Beijing, the “Wangfujin” (Prince Mansion’s Street). Towing big shopping malls filled of people stand along the avenue, with enormous neon lights sparkling tirelessly outside 24/7, even at the first glance, we know that it is the place for the Chinese well-off to enjoy life.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle of Wangfujin, if you walk inside one of the annex streets hundreds of meters away and make several turns, after entering a deep narrow street for 10 meters, you will find the gate leading to anther world, which is 9 meters underground, occupying almost the whole area as big as the up ground street with its spider-net-like branching system. That, is the “underground Forbidden City.”
After the 1969 “precious island issue”, Chairman Mao mobilized the while Chinese nation to build bomb shelters in case of potential wars. Under such a summon as “dig the hole deeper, store more food”, many local Beijing landers, especially young generation, started to join the constructing team voluntarily, using 10 years to finish the “home might-be”. According to the record until Dec.2002, there are all together 20740 bomb shelter rooms in Beijing, much outnumber the 9999-room-scale Forbidden City up ground, and that’s how it gained its name.
Some of the bomb shelters are converted into cheap hotels and now there are mainly 6 still run business. The tablet hanging outside the gate, though too tattered to notice, says the name of the this one, “Beijing heaven and people hotel”. It was deputized by Mr. Sun’s family since10 years ago, who invested 1.6million Chinese Yuan in it. “During its best business time in early 1990’s, when the reconstructive project of Forbidden City not far away was undergoing, there were more than 2000 people fill up its 500-plus small rooms, every day.” says Mr. Sun proudly. “most of whom were construction workers and farmers who would like to seek a living here in Beijing”. to be continued....December 19 anger!!fury!!link from :
强烈鄙视南昌大学科技学院!丑陋,痛心!!!
我有一个很好的西班牙朋友,出生在西班牙和德国混血的家庭,从小在马德里长大。爸爸是个地道的中国迷,喜欢中国戏曲和所有的古典音乐,中国的历史和文化,向往所有中国的东西。为了爸爸的中国梦想,她从自己懂事后就开始学习汉语,并决定一定要来到中国留学。 她是个十分勇敢和阳光的女孩,有一个和她一样孪生的弟弟,虽然从小她就有先天性的腿疾,但是她从未放弃过对生活的热爱和对自己理想的追求,她在杭州浙江大学学习和生活了2年多,已经可以说一口流利的汉语,她已经非常的热爱中国,她渴望留在这里,但是她需要一份工作签证,她看到南昌大学科技学院的招聘便决定来到这个这个学校教授德语,很快发送一份简历到这个学校。很快收到这个学校的回复,到这个学校工作,她喜出望外,因为她觉得在结束自己的圣诞假期以后终于还可以留在这个她所神往的国度继续她的梦想。于是,她便决定来到这个她将要工作生活的地方看一下。但是,当她坐12小时的火车,才发现一切都太天真了。这个学校接待的老师看到她走路的样子就吓得躲了起来,她来到办公室,他们让她马上离开这里,他们说他们不需要残疾人,不要她在这里工作,不看她的简历,也不要跟她说话。她说她要见他校长,他们说他出差在香港,马上要她离开,在这里工作不可能,她很无助的哭了,就在他们的办公室,可是没有人要理她。她的母语是德语,而且非常擅长英语,还有非常流利的中文,可是他们都不要听这些,让她马上离开这个学校。只有一位好心的老师很同情她,也很失望的哭了,并且给她回家的路费。 我真的为自己的同胞感到遗憾,我的朋友少年时就来到挪威读书,去过欧洲和亚洲的很多国家,她去过中国很多地方,去过广西、云南看到很多山区最贫困人群的生活,她来到一个广西少数民族的家庭看到他们过着非常艰难的生活,生病并且没有钱医治,她便拿出自己积蓄来帮助他们,并且安慰他们用她所学过的心理学的知识,帮助他们重新燃起对生活的希望,她曾经不止一次的跟我提过那个贫困的家庭、那个可怜的孩子!她一直跟我说,她最大的心愿是留在中国,这里的人都是那么的善良和友好,她是如此的热爱这里他们,她渴望来到云南作一个志愿者来帮助他们,教他们外语和很多他们需要的东西,心理学的知识还有对生命对生活的憧憬。可是她从未受到过如此明目、如此不加掩饰的歧视。一个如此善良和健康的女孩,我的脑海中总是浮现她在十字路口等路灯的情形,当绿灯闪过,她马上努力而敏捷的向着马路的对面走去... 我真的为那些自诩老师的最虚伪最丑陋的人感到羞耻,他们在嘲笑别人的时候,他们是否发觉,一个心智不健全和无知的人要比身体的缺陷要更加来得可怜和无可救药!!缺乏一个人最起码的尊重和同情心,我真的不知道,他们凭什么去面对他们的学生,他们的工作,他们的家人... Human right for everybody!!!
December 14 i am learning life through suffering..:Dmy brain is spliting...throat is burning...just woke up but i think
going to bed again is the only right think i should do now....i saw my
msn windows..some messages from friend..one guy told me to drink more
chicken soup..and thank you:D..though no one will make me one cuz we
dont have a kitchen..and the chicken flu horror...still thank you...now
i am learning happiness and love through suffering.. the basic assumption behind buddism is suffering, the Buddha taught that each individual has the power to overcome suffering, although all the world views try to offer comfort to their constituents through supernatural solutions, buddhism is quite different, in its traditional form, it holds that our salvation from suffering lies only in our own efforts. The buddha taught us that only in understanding how we create suffering for ourselves can we become free. birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, worry, misery, pain, distress and despair are suffering; not attaining what one desires is suffering. buddha is not pessimistic; he was in fact, concerned with the cessation of suffering , so he strove to help others by teaching them to identify the causes of their suffering. now my cold is suffering too..i know how important health is by being through all these tortuing feeling..the head..the throat..the nose..the sour in my eyes..and the whole body..friends are important when you are sick..my roommates just shouted at me "for god's sake go to bed!!...dont dwell online any more.."..and i am saying"..got it got it..".with a little unpatience...but i am enjoying this bitter sweet blame..haha... so many things havent been finished...now i have to give up everything..and head to bed..and sleep til tomorrow afternoon..i just log off my msn and log in again so every body could see my inscription of being sick and dont bother me any more..but more people said hi...funny...i am leaving anyway.. thanks Mr Brown..i just want to cam with u..and u are the only one i trust when i am sick..people are vulnerable and sensitive when being sick..now u see my horrible look. the messd up hair..and big big coat..bit red cheek and a miserable loooking face..well..it is just the outside..not the inside...Mr Brown..thank you so much for telling me that i still look pretty and even toasty like that...very sweet words:P...ok....gonna go now..cough and sneeze...gonna have a good sleep... peaze:D December 12 A generation!!!December 03 my day alone in ShijiazhuangIs it not a very big city,but kind people here, it is bit polluted here, but you can eat Great and Cheap food!!I love the city of Shijiazhuang, I have been there 3 times, all because of my Toelf exam (registration number is running out here in beijing so i have to go there to take toelf..soo many people want to go to the north america!!!)...and this is the third time for me to come and get the score, I guess later i will seldom come here but you will never know:P
well..not a good beginning though,over slept in the morning because of the stay up so late the night before, I missed the train at 8:10 and the next one with seat is at 11am. because of that, my company, Chris the American guy left me and I had to go there alone, it was my fault, I think i might turn off the clock without even knowing it..stupid me..thank god I didnt succeed to buy the tickets the day before cuz it was too late..the door closed..
when I got there,already 2 pm,so I rushed to the uni and got the score...sealed envelop..I didnt open it..already know the score..so then..as planned..I went to the people's heros memorial park.more than 300 heros who died during the liberation war against Kuomingtang are buried there..inculding several foreigners like the canadian doctor Norman Bethune and the Indian doctor Dwarkanath Shantaram Kotnis. Not some many people in the park..actually only a high school class and me were inside..those kids were reviewing the day they joined the youth league..I am also a member of the league so felt glorious and proud..hehehe
I took many pics inside(though it is not allowed.but no officer said no to me..maybe i dont look like a trouble maker)..and afterwards..I went back to the railway station and got the back trip ticket at 5:58pm (T514)..still had some time left..I went to the district where most of the snacks were...haha...it was wonderful..all together I tried 8 kinds of different things and fed myself one kind after another til I am too stuffed like the beijing stuffed duck..all the food tasted wonderful and I think that would be the things I will miss the most about shijiazhuang!!!
this is just a travel post...I tried to tell everything in my life so might not be soo beautiful..thanks for reading..and Paul family!!i really miss you a lot...think about you all today..*^^*Marisa and Emma..kisses!!!hehe December 01 today's adventruenow it is 9:54am, and later i am gonna go on an adventure in one of the underground hotels in beijing, i dont know what is inside, friend told me criminals might be there and people..mostly poor people..very poor people..and ok..i will check it out and tell everything when i am back..see ya all!!! November 26 quotes I learnt today:)here are 2 quotes i learnt today..d like to share here:P
What was once called the objective world is a sort of Rorschach ink blot, into which each culture, each system of science and religion, each type of personality, reads a meaning only remotely derived from the shape and color of the blot itself. -----------LEWIS MUMFORD
We think so because other people all think so; or because after all, we do think so; or because we were told so, and think we must think so; or because we once thought so, and think we still think so; or because, having thought so, we think we will think so. ------------HENRY SEDGWICK November 24 saying goodbye is the hardest thing for me to do...forever!!I didnt think about the hard moment of saying goodbye until yesterday at the pizza hut,Emma said it was like Su's goodbye party,though later she "sealed" her mouth and threw the "bad news" far away, but it still kept me thinking about the hard moment now and then,on the train, on the taxi, on the way back home yesterday..I tried to enjoy the happy time that has left...and I told myself must not cry...
But I failed..when we arrived at the hotel..and we got off the taxi..the two girls came up and tried to hug me and hold me soo tight and kept on saying "su we will miss you and I love you" so many many times, how is it possible to hold my tears!!I just cried like a kid as never before...soo many good memories they all flashed back..one scene after another.....the first night at the airplane and the forbidden city and the hutong..the summer palace..the great wall..the acrobats..the panda...the bargain and the peking opera..and all the sightseeing part is only small part of the whole happiness..what I enjoyed the most is the communication, the intimity and the trust..the kids are like angels..they are soo cute and innocent..I told my roommates about Marisa that she cried when her brother said panda was not as cute as tiger..I never thought a foreign girl would like panda soo much..she even draw" Marisa loves panda" on her palm with a little heart in the middle and "decorate" her hand in different colors...no chinese kid would ever do that though we all love panda..and Emma..I remember the first night..she asked me" do you have to leave?" and gave me a big hug the next morning when we met..that was sooo sweet..and we always hold hands together.....and grandpa..he hug me even when we first met at the airport..the hug has removed every doubt in my mind about their generocity and kindness..the hug was much more than a greeting..it was also a motivation and a sign of trust..and the boy Tyler..he has a museum full of different things..like the coins the fossils and now there are many new chinese "stuff"to add in..he is a little gentleman..I still remember when his dad gave him the 1 kuai bill with the great wall on the back..he was soo excited and we all made fun of him..and later he said "thank you dad" politely..that was out of my expectation... in china..people dont say thank you to parents cuz they think thats what they should do..give us all they have..which is very bad..and Paul..the funniest american I have ever met..Man you are awesome!!(do I sound like an american?)*^^*listen to the stories about the business..the travelling experiences...stories of your crazy youth..and the romantic love story of you with Trina and everything..oh and the cliche words you taught me..you have changed my image about america and their people just as much as the trip to beijing has changed your image about china and our people..Its been a great experiences for me..and Trina..I start to believe what you said in the car..we can pray with faith and "he" will help us and guide us..because I am soo grateful to meet you and your family and these 3 days has been perfect for me..
Later on the train..I read the letters everyone wrote on the book word by word and I cried with everyone looking at me with a wildly open eyes..well..I dont care any way..and I called my mom about everything that has happened...she was so happy about that..she always worries about me cuz she thinks sometimes I am too kind and might be cheated by other people..this whole story proves that she is wrong..what goes around comes around...
Now I am gonna write an email to Mrs.Avril..the grandma..and I just hope your family will go on ur wonderful trip around Asia..and continue your luck just like in Beijing..I will pray for you..and God will bless you all!!! November 17 a letter to my friendDear friend:
The thing I am going to tell u is all from my heart. Except love, you must find something that can make you stand up straight. You must find way to survive. Now it is not too early to consider this. I never think diploma is important, but without it you cant even have the chance. You must change your floating and sensitive thoughts into clear and simple words. The extravagance and braveness can not sustain long, you know, giving words large charge is not enough, what really matter are the content, the thought, the setting, the soul, the spirit and the wisdom. Don’t read the works of those of the same style as you have. Trivialness, moaning is not a necessity of life. Do not write without thinking. Don’t cry over the small goo. Friend, I want you to believe in warmness, happiness, trustworthiness, dignity, being strong those old words. I don’t want to see you be rebellious, vacuous, lost and harm yourself and the others. I don’t want to see you handle your life in a mess. Reserve your emotions. Not everyone is worth your attention. Enjoying life is one thing but it is not an excuse to indulgent yourself. It is not cool to being called “cool”, the real cool is from the heart the inside. As long as you have the strong power inside, no matter how long the time is, your belief is as unremitting as it used to be. Do not say I love the world only because now you are in the campus where you think is a pure and honest world. Say it after you go to the real society and after having seen all the darkness of the society. Friend I want you to love, to live. Life is soo short and don’t complain the flying time. Sometimes you can stop and have a rest but not stop and look around. When you start a road, stick to it and keep walking, do not look back. Ask yourself what you are doing recently. Cry wildly when you feel sad. Wash your face later and give a smile to your self. Forever believe you have a dream. Stop and watch the sky, also remember to see what is underneath. Any time, any one ask you how many relationship you have, the answer is twice. For one time he loved me but I did not love him. But the other time I loved him but he did not love me. Always believe the next relationship will be much better. Don’t give the same man 2 chances of hurting you. Don’t believe the promise man makes on bed. Don’t be ashamed of having desire, enjoy it but never give man the chance to insult and neglect you. Believe me the the number of good man is much more than the number of 3-legs frogs. Don’t say “love” easily, believe in your instinct. Don’t have affair with those in relationships unless you love him very very much and he is worth your love very very much. Don’t go out with someone think you are similar with their mothers or sisters or ex girlfriends. Don’t go out with naïve men, don’t go out with literature men and mid-age men. If a man try to get u by hurting himself, then don’t believe him because the next hurt might be on urself. Observe the friends of the man u are going out with, see how their friends treat women. Never go out with someone who is not willing to introduce his circle to you. When a man is only willing to call you “honey”, ask him to call ur name. If a man never come to you, don’t go to him. Don’t believe in those play tricks in relationships. Don’t curse when breaking up but learn the lesson, don’t regret cuz that does not work. Don’t rip all the pictures and love letters and the diary, the things which only the characters in rubbish tv soup opera do. Believe in true love, always bear the idea that ur mr.right is always there waiting for you, unmarried, and he is looking for you among the crowd. Don’t say something like “ no man is good”, people would think you might have a lot of experiences. Promise me don’t be those girls go to one mans house in the midnight and then another. Love material but in a proper way. Always think the spirit is more important. Watches of famous brand and all the fashion stuff are beautiful but what is the more beautiful is yourself. Never look down upon the working class, don’t look down upon working. The earth, the sweat is not smelly. Respect those who live in a lower life level than you do, because in other word this is respect yourself. Always care for those people because they might be one of our relatives. We are not noble. Every penny is precious, try to earn it and you will know. Never doubt friendship even your friends hurt you, but be aware of those who have betrayed you. Forgive but not forget. Be “childish” to your friends sometimes. Be happy be open minded be perseverant be kind. This has nothing to do with personaility. Sometimes you have to be tough especially when someone try to take advantage of you. If so, fight and get it back. But don’t hold the grudge, just let them go, and left your elegance on them. Learn to forgive the world and yourself, tell yourself, you deserve the best!!!!!! November 14 poem en espanolTu
Eres energia
La que me inspira
Y da tiempo
Mirame a los ojos
Y dame amor
Salvame de este mundo
Dame dos alas
Y vuela conmigo
Encuentra mi alma
Y alimentala con gracia
Dile la verdad
Dime que me quieres
Porque,
Te quiero tanto,pero tanto, tanto
Que no se vivir sin ti.
Luis Reardon 14/nov/2005..3:am November 11 my grandpathis is the assignment i have to turn in last week..the teacher asked us to write someone familiar..so i wrote the story of my grandpa..he is already passed away..10 years ago..today..i posted it here..to let u know the sporadic memories between me and him...(this article got an "A+")*^^*
我的外祖父姓庄,全名庄业兴,如果十年前的那场心脏病他能挺过,今年应该已经七十八岁高龄了。外公原本不姓庄,是后来加入共产党革命以后,地下党给起的名字。用着用着连原来的名字都不记得了。他十几岁就当了兵,赶上了抗日战争的末尾和解放战争,还有后面的抗美援朝,从死人堆里爬出来无数回。上甘岭战役的时候,大冬天,穿得单棉衣,一个团的人第二天起来就只剩下外公和另外一个战士活着,别的人都冻死了。外公经常和我说起当年打仗的情景,每次陪他看电影《大决战》百万雄师过大江的场景,外公总是激动地指着竹筏上的某个战士说那就是自己。由于打仗勇敢,立了不少战功,外公一路从战士变成了班长、排长、连长、营长、团长。军功章集了满满一盒。外公说要找一天把每一个军功章的故事都告诉我,可是没有等到那个机会他就过世了。 外公当上团长的时候中国就解放了。他的祖籍在江苏,但是军队驻扎在浙江,他的根也就落在了浙江,在这里他认识了外婆,一个20岁的余姚姑娘,大家闺秀和军人的结合在那个时候是最完美的。后来被分配到了海运公司,军人的天性始终无法割舍,只会冲锋陷阵,不会逢迎拍马,升到一个小官就再也升不上去了。单位给外公分了一个小套间,家里添了三个孩子,略显局促。照理说按他的级别,可以享受更好的待遇,可是他总是把机会让给别人,外婆怪过他,他说,战争里过来的人,活着就是福了,哪里还有那么多要求,想想死去的弟兄,也就知足了。 我见过外公年轻时候的照片,非常的英俊。极其清晰的轮廓,四方脸,浓眉大眼,嘴角收着,有点像京剧里人物的亮相。除了皱纹和点点老斑,其实他的长相其实到老都没有怎么变,只是多了一个啤酒肚。到了夏天,外公会拍着自己的肚子,摇着蒲扇,躺在老凉席上,让我猜他肚子里是什么。他总是说里面是一个弟弟。我是家里的第一个外孙女。妈妈说,外公一直想要一个男孩,她怀孕的时候外公就夸下海口说只要是男孩就归他养。戏剧性的是,医生已开始把我的性别搞错了,报的是男孩,后来就发现不对,是个女的。可以想象外公当时的失望,虽然后来他还是最疼爱我,我也不觉得女孩又什么不好,可是我还是总觉得挺对不起他的。可惜,这一幕重复了三次,他的三个孩子最后都生了女儿,所以他报外孙的希望算是破灭了。 外公给我留下的记忆是片断的。听说他年轻的时候脾气火爆,舅舅老和我说他当年逃课被外公用皮带拴在门上拿鞋底抽,听得我直哆嗦。印象中外公从没有对我发过脾气,只记得又一次,很小的事情,我去一个姑姑打工的小卖部玩,走的时候姑姑给了我一块印有蓝精灵的橡皮。回到家,外公看见了,问我: “橡皮是哪里来的?” “去姑姑店里,姑姑给的”。 “付钱了没?” “没有”。 “没有就给我送回去!” 虽然知道不能和外公拧,但是我还是很委屈得把橡皮送了回去。后来妈妈和我说,姑姑刚从农村来城里打工,我去她的店,她总是会从柜台里拿一样东西,给我当礼物,虽然价钱不多,也不是白拿,但是外公说这种习惯不好,公家的和自己的东西一定要分清楚。 另外一个片断,是在89年台风的时候。当时全家都去抗台了,只有我一个人在家,晚上,没有电,外公陪着我。当时非常害怕,一切黑漆漆的,父母不再身边,我也不知道台风到底是什么,只记得一楼阳台里多年的葡萄架被连根吹起,记得马路上的玻璃和树枝摔得嘣嘣作响,马路上一片狼藉。外公躺在我的身边,和我说,台风是天上的一个魔鬼,人越是怕他,他就越是凶狠,要敢指着天说,“老子不怕你”,他就会被吓跑。于是我和外公一起冲着阳台外漆黑的天空,拿起我那可以调各种声音的电动手枪,冲着天“射击”,大声喊着“老子不怕你”。那一幕成为我永远的记忆,在后来成长的日子里,我也经常在内心里这样喊着,驱散心中的恐惧。 记忆中,外公从不夸奖我。但是有一次,我刚去学手风琴回到他家,他正好要出去会老战友,就顺道把我也带了出去,连同我的手风琴。后来他的战友看见我,都要让我表演,我就拉了几个曲子,正赶上我练的是《红星闪闪》。结果那些战友特别高兴,回家的时候,除了外公那骄傲的表情,我们还捧了几个大西瓜,都是那些战友送的。后来这件事被传开了,每每有老战友见到我,都要我表演,而外公也总是骄傲得让他们把西瓜准备好。 夏天的时候我经常去外公家玩,他的凉席年头比较久,特别的凉快,还有一个特别的竹片枕头,常被我当成婴儿床来玩。我总是和外公并排并躺在那张凉席上,或者爬起来把耳朵凑到他的肚子上,说要和小弟弟说话。外公会抱着我,感觉特别温暖,当时不知是不是预感,我真希望能经常被外公抱着。可是不多久外公就心脏病住进了医院。 他在医院的时候我去看过他两次,同屋的病友都挺喜欢这个老革命的。经常一起下棋,说笑。最后一次去看他的时候,他嘱咐我要好好学习,好好练琴。穿着蓝白相间的病号服,外公的脸略有些浮肿,我从没有想过他会那么快离开我。 那是一个周日,我去妈妈单位,一个电话打来,匆忙上了一辆同事的摩托车,我们来到了医院。路上,从妈妈的表情和电话里的声音,我猜出是外公有事了。冲到病房,看见外公吸着氧气,闭着眼睛,嘴巴一张一合,似乎想呼吸却徒劳,突然觉得那么凄凉和无助。我被吓住了,冲出病房,不敢再多看一眼。当时是在9楼,我跑到楼梯口,跨着5级台阶往下蹦,说只要我蹦过去了,外公就一定没有事,口中念念有词得说着“老天保佑”。我从9层蹦到一层,又大踏步地爬回9层,可是看见的是妈妈的泪水。妈妈抱着我,在旁边的房间里等着,隔壁突然传来一阵哭声,我知道外公走了。 现在已经整整十年过去了,这十年里,每一年的清明我都去外公墓上,向他汇报我所有的成绩。记得我来北京上大学前的清明,我把通知书给外公烧了一份,告诉他虽然琴已经不再练,但是我依然会听他的话,好好学习,变得有出息。 November 10 emotoday...after 5 hours of surfing on internet..i think i kinda hav the idea of what "emo"is....hehe.. here are some website of definition and the emo fashion..check them out... 1.urban dictionary:this is a funny website defind every new come word..very nice 3.Aldroid's emo fashion:this is a shop selling emo clothes..he is not an authority though.. |
