Be the Change

                                                                                      Be the Change

 

“The Analects of Confucius”, written by Confucius, “History Speaks” written by Si Maqian, are two of the books considered as the basic books Chinese must read by some famous scholars like Liang Qichao and Zhang Yan. The two books are the most precious treasure in Chinese history and literature area. However, there is only one in ten or even less Chinese university students have read them. The lack of knowledge of history and culture is very serious in campus. I’m very worried about the situation now.

I think everyone knows the importance of culture and history to a nation. China has a long history and we are proud of it. Our country not only has a beautiful appearance but also has contents. Culture provides positive links between the past, present and the future. History and literature are of course the most important parts of culture. We should learn them.   

The next thing I want to say is the situation now. Hundreds of thousands of university students even don’t know much about the Dynasties or famous people in ancient China. On the contrary, they know most of actors, actresses and singers. For another example, nowadays, western festivals are very popular in China. Many people celebrate Christmas, Valentine’s Day and so on. What about our traditional festivals? We even forget our Dragon Boat Festival. Several months ago, Korea made this festival into The World Cultural Heritage. This is satirical, right? We should think it carefully. China has become a strong country in the world and we are influenced by many other countries and their culture. But we should never forget our own history, culture and root.

In fact, many people have realized this problem now, especially our university students. All of us are eager to change the situation, too. But what can we do? It is said that: “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” We are highly educated and we are the future of our motherland. People all of the world will know China and Chinese culture from us later. We have the responsibility. Imagine that when a foreigner ask you a easy question about our history, but you give him or her a wrong answer or you even know nothing about it. How will he or she think of Chinese educated students? How will you think of yourself as a Chinese? The only thing we can do now is to change ourselves.

How to do it? The answer is not difficult. Read more books; see more programs like “Chinese Culture” and “Lecture Room”; strengthen your knowledge of culture and history; try to be a person with “content” and tell more students to be concerned about Chinese culture. The activity of “Read Good Books” in my university these days is very good. Take myself for example, I’m reading “The Art of War” written by Sun Tzu and “The Analects of Confucius”, written by Confucius recently. I found that I was fascinated by these books, and I have learned not only the history and literature of ancient China but also how to be a real man from them. I hope that more and more people, especially our university students will know more about our country.

The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, China. This is a rare chance to introduce our country to the world. We have the responsibility to do this. The world gives us 17 days; we give the world 5000 years. Don’t hesitate, Do it right now and try to change yourself. We are united and we have the power to change the situation. Everyone, just do it!

Dream

                                                         Dream

 

Dream is a natural effect that everyone had experienced. To most of people, dream is mysterious and untouchable. Through our dreams, we enter a fascinating world where the rules of reality do not apply.  

Some of my friends always tell me about their dreams during the sleep. I think it’s very interesting to share the other people’s dreams. I seldom have dreams and I don’t know why. Sometimes when I get up, I forget my dreams during the night. However, I enjoy the feeling of dreaming, too. Dream moderately is good for people’s sleep and health. I remember one of my dreams very clearly. It happened when I was about ten years old. I had the same dreams for more than three times. There are beautiful sea and lovely dolphins. I rode on the back of one dolphin and I was very happy. This dream was so active that gave me a very strong impression. It was the first time I found that I can gain happiness from a dream and the feeling was unforgettable. At that time, I even didn’t know that dreams can be interpreted.  

Yes, interpreting the meanings of dreams is feasible and popular now. “The Interpretation of Dreams” written by Sigmund Freud is a classic work on the research of dream. It is considered as one of the “one hundred books you must read in your life”. I’m very interested in this book and want to read it very much. In my mind, dreams are unique to everyone. No other individual can have your background, your emotions, or your experiences. Every dream is connected with your own “reality”. From the dreams, you will have a better understanding and discovery of your true self. The unconsciousness effect is very important. In this way, interpret the meanings of dreams is not only interesting but also meaningful.

Although I don’t know much about dreams, I think this topic is fascinated to discuss and explore. I like it and I will study more.

After reading “Peeling Bananas”

                                      After reading “Peeling Bananas”

“Peeling Bananas” is written by a Chinese American student named Wendy Lee. Here banana means that outside she has the yellow skin of a Chinese, but inside she was white like an American. I think this analogy is good, but I don’t think this is a very big problem. In my mind, a person’s own thought about him or herself is much more important.

The first thing I want to say is nationality. Everyone knows that a person can’t decide his or her own nationality, country and living environment at most of the times. There is not big difference whether you are living in China or America. Life itself is the same. In the second place, culture difference is undoubtedly existed. People in different places studies different things. They are influenced by their own culture and environment. Thirdly, everyone has his or her own opinion. I believe that in everyone’s heart, there is a place called “home”, his or her own country, his or her own hometown, and the place that he or she belongs to. This has nothing to do with one’s nationality or other people’s views. Take myself for example, I was born in Hubei province, and I moved to Shenzhen when I was fifteen years old. I loved Shenzhen very much, and I felt very happy to live in there. When someone asked me “where are you come from?” I was proud to say that I was born in Hubei province, but Shenzhen is my home and my favorite city.

 Huang Quanyu, the writer of the book “Quality-Oriented Education in America” is a famous scholar. He has a son named Kuangkuang. He was growing up in America and he appreciated American education very much. I like one of his books about his American teachers a lot. Liu Yong, a renowned Chinese American writer has a son who grew up in America, too. His name is Liu Xuan and he graduated from Harvard University. They are both “bananas” but I like their lifestyle very much. They are American, and they like the environment there. However, they never forget their root, they can speak good Chinese and they like Chinese culture very much. I think this is the right attitude.

 To choose a city, a country is to choose a way of life. Don’t be unhappy about other’s opinions, you must decide it by yourself seriously. This is what I want to express.

学习“医疗救护”

     参加了红十字会的“医疗救护”培训之后真的感慨很多。其实参加这个培训的原因很简单,只是希望当万一发生什么紧急事件和意外的时候,能够自救,也能够为对自己重要的人做些什么,而不是什么也做不了,软弱无力。虽然培训是在星期六和星期日,还要很早起床,但是学到的东西却让我受益终生。
     雪和子鸣(我的室友^^)和我一起参加了培训。上理论课的时候,老师给我们讲了人类的呼吸循环系统和运动系统,还举了很多例子,而这些真实的让我们了解到了人类的生命真是脆弱和不堪一击。一整天的课,大家都听的很认真,因为我们真的很无知。无论是人工呼吸,心肺复苏还是创伤救护,都和我想的完全不同。真实的数据,图片在眼前,真实的老师的声音在耳边,真的无法形容当时的触动。
    与理论课相比,实践课的气氛是很轻松的,特别是创伤救护的实践,因为是拿旁边的同学当实验对象,顿时满屋子的“木乃伊”。心肺复苏考试的时候,其实有很多人都不熟练,特别是开气道不到位。不过我可以自豪的说,我做的很好^^。虽然是在假人身上实践(一个假人要一万二啊。。。),当想到自己是在救人,而一个不小心就会导致严重的后果时,心里涌起的是紧张,还有责任感。当然,我们三个人都顺利通过了考试。其实真的很累啊。。。
    拿到一张医疗救护的初级证书无疑会成为我们2008年奥运会志愿者申请表上的一个亮点,但这次的培训对我的意义是更加深远的。老师讲了一个例子,两个人同样是颈椎骨折,一个人现在还活的好好的,而另一个却是上位截瘫,过了两年就死了。只是因为现场救护的问题。所以,我学的,是救命和自救的方法。真的很庆幸参加了这次培训^^

After Watching “The village”

 

“The village", directed by M. Night Shyamalan is a very good movie. I think scaring and suspending movies give people lots of thrilling feelings and pleasure. Of course I’m very fond of this kind of movies, like “The silent lamb” etc.   M. Night Shyamalan is so gifted as a filmmaker and this movie, “The village” express his own ideas.

The story happened in an isolated village where the villagers lead a simple and peaceful life. No one ever leaves or visits the village, since there are monsters, they were called “Those We Don’t Speak Of” the villagers wear yellow cloaks, because that is the “safe” color, and they avoid the “bad” color, red, because it is the color of the monsters. One of the villagers called Lucius, wants to acquire some medicine from a outside town because it can help to save the villagers in the future. However, his idea is not agreed by the elder people. Lucius is in love with Ivy, who is beautiful and blind, and they become engaged. Tragedy happen when Lucius is injured badly. The only way to save him is the across the  surrounding woods, go to the town and get the medicine.

M. Night Shyamalan is always trying to give his movie a unpredictable, “twist” ending. About this story, I really can’t find the ending and I think this ending is reasonable and good. In fact, the monsters are not real, the elder people moved into the woods because they suffered a lot in the outside society. The death of their relatives make them become disappointed about the society, so they moved to the woods. I’m really surprised about this ending. However, M. Night Shyamalan’s another movie “The sixth sense” is much better than “The village” in my opinion. “The sixth sense” was so attractive that shocked the world in 1999.

Different people may have different opinions on what the movie is trying to express. Some people hold the opinion that “The village” have something to do with the politics, society or something else. I don’t want to think this question too deeply, what I want to say is some direct feelings of mine. “Love makes the world go around”. I think love is definitely the theme of this movie. The elder people in the village have their own horrible and unforgettable experience in the real world. They are scared of the society and they don’t want to believe love and friendship. Use not existed monster to keep them far away from the reality. I think they are absolutely ill. Only love can rescue them in my mind. Because of love, Ivy wants to across the woods to find medicine. Whether good or bad, love opens a door and bring changes to the village. I don’t know what will happen to the village next, but I hope the villagers will have a bright future.

Although this movie is a little boring at the first hour, it’s a good movie and gives me lots of pleasure.

蜂蜜与四叶草 完结纪念

  《蜂蜜与四叶草》的漫画板和TV版在大家的感动和不舍中相继完结了。真的很喜欢这部差不多陪伴了我一年的难得的好作品。
  《Honey and Clover》被形容为“所有人都在单恋的作品”“目睹处在人生转折点的青春”“清新又有点凝重的少女漫画”等等。不管怎么说,每个人心里都有自己心目中的《Honey and Clover》;都有自己心目中的森田,竹本,阿久,山田,真山,阿修;也都有自己心目中的大学和青春。当然,我也是这样。
  6张榻榻米的面积,无浴室,到大学步行需10分钟,已建25年,房租3万8千元,墙壁很薄,隔音很差,房客全为学生。滨美大学的学生竹本,森田,真山居住在这里,而故事也由此开始。贫困但却快乐的大学生活因为新生,可爱的阿久的到来而产生了阵阵涟漪。竹本和森田同时喜欢上了阿久,真山爱恋着建筑设计师理花,同是美院学生的山田却一直喜欢真山。。。真是两对难解的三角关系啊。。。然而《Honey and Clover》却不是一部肤浅的爱情作品。不论是淡淡的友情,淡淡的忧愁,烦人的爱情,恼人的工作,时常有的欢乐和哀愁都是那么的真实而且贴近我们的生活。让人无法不被触动,无法不去细细品味。
  “在我很小的时候,骑着那辆无论走到那里都陪伴着我的蓝色单车,有时,突然想到,如果一次也不回头,我能走到哪里呢?那个时候,我想尝试的,究竟是什么呢?”作为男主角的竹本是所有人中个性最不突出的一个,无论是太阳一般的森田,天才阿久,还是成熟的真山和阿修老师等等,不管过程怎样,都有着自己的人生目标,而竹本却很迷茫,完全不能确定自己的未来,他不自信,不成熟,虽然珍惜生命中的所有经历和感动,憧憬着未来却不知道未来在哪里。虽然这样,竹本却是整部作品里成长最多的人,也很让我感动。在大学的最后一年,面试了20间公司,终于找到一份工作,结果那家公司又在一周后倒闭,看着痛苦的阿久,思考着为想做的事而哭泣,比起找不到目标而哭泣,哪边会更痛苦呢?什么是自己想做的事?怎样才能找到自己的目标?骑着单车,带着空空的自己,竹本踏上了寻找自我的旅程。无止境的前进,风餐露宿,在差点与卡车相撞,在尖声叫出来的时候,终于了解到了自己一直在害怕,害怕看不见的未来,害怕不知道要干什么的自己,更害怕每天毫不留情流失的日子。。。在移动的庙宇修建工程队里打工。做饭,实地学习,然后继续前进,直到日本的最北端。其实自己真的能从竹本身上学到很多的东西啊。。。让人高兴的是,他在毕业后加入了那个特别的工程队,终于找到了自己想做的事。
  一不小心就写了这么多关于竹本的事,可能因为他代表了很多现在的年轻人吧。。。在《Honey and Clover》的故事里,大家都各有各的烦恼,真山单恋着比他大很多的理花;理花因为自己间接导致了丈夫的死而一直伤害着自己;阿久背负着天才之名一直生活在压力之下,又因为意外的玻璃事故而右手神经受伤;山田坚守着自己的心,坚持着单相思,那种美丽和脆弱感染了每一个女性观众,女孩子们在她身上看到了自己,还好后来出现了野宫(我真是太喜欢这种类型的男人了^^);阿修老师看似最没有烦恼,其实他也让人心疼啊。好多人跟我说她们对于结局很意外,阿修竟然喜欢自己堂兄的女儿阿久,而阿久竟然没有选森田,而是和阿修在一起。。。我本人也很惊讶,年龄差距很大还是近亲,不过,对于阿久来说,选择阿修却是最正确的,我是这样想的。
  嗯嗯,接下来要说的是整部作品里我最喜欢的人物--森田忍。看过《Honey and Clover》的人应该没有不喜欢人气NO.1森田的吧。虽然森田被形容为“没心没肺,毫无廉耻,大学本科读到八年,肆意浪费天才,挣钱机器加吝啬鬼,损人不利己的变态,简单的说起来就是无耻”但他毫无疑问是那么的耀眼,那么的吸引人,就像太阳一样。“他的无耻行为不断刺激着他身边的人,经过他的折磨,即使是行尸走肉也会活蹦乱跳地抓狂,而当森田的无耻被他的同情心战胜的时候,他会做一些对你真正有帮助的事情。”他内心里真正关心着这些朋友们。而在第二部里,知道了他的过去,为什么疯狂赚钱的原因,对他从未露出的有些哀伤,孤独的表情而心疼,而且更加喜欢他。关于森田的爱情,他和竹田对阿久都是一见钟情,但是示爱的方式却完全不同,一个简单易懂,一个极度难懂。虽然森田总是捉弄阿久,让她避之不及,却真心喜欢着他,不论是那双凉拖,亲手做的脚型纸镇,小鸟徽章还是那个“红色围脖的Kiss”都让人羡慕不已啊。。。很多人,特别是女生们都很高兴他最终没有和阿久在一起,因为在她们心中,太阳的轨迹在天空,即使它很孤独,我们却需要他的光芒。而我觉得这个结局是有些遗憾的,因为他们都喜欢对方,但却不能在一起,他们都是天才,都为对方的才华所折服,甚至相互竞争,他们都有尖锐的刺,都无法为对方牺牲自己,只能相互伤害。只能说是一种遗憾吧。最终森田只身去了美国,彼得的电影特技工作室,因为他在那里找到了跟自己一样的“怪人”。虽然动画已经完结,我想我不会忘记用酱油画画的森田,认真雕刻的森田,躺在枫林里的森田,安慰山田的森田,用6个闹钟都叫不醒的森田,因为吃太多免费航空食品而住院的森田,露出悲哀表情的森田,许许多多,各种各样的森田……
  关于音乐,毫无疑问是大量的经典,第一部动画光是插曲就有14首,而且都是佳作,营造了那种淡淡的青春的氛围,宁静和快乐,矛盾与伤感,让人深深沉醉于画面和歌声中。我最喜欢的是第一部的插曲《夜を駆ける》和第二部的《Happy Brithday》。
  传说中,一叶的三叶草是祈求;二叶的三叶草是希望;三叶的三叶草是爱情;而四叶的三叶草是幸福。不停旋转的自行车的车轮,不停旋转的摩天轮,《蜂蜜与四叶草》其实就是每个人追寻着属于自己的幸福的过程。清新的风格,精致的画面,悠扬动人的音乐,细碎的生活情节,纤细的感情历程。这部动画深深打动了我。而与她一起度过的时间,感动,笑容,泪水,都是我心中独一无二的宝藏,让我无法忘怀。“时间流逝,一切的一切都成为回忆的日子终究会到来,但是,有我,有你,有大家,只为寻找同一样事物,那些奇迹般的日子,无论到何时,伴随着喜怒哀乐,在大家的内心深处,一直盘旋翻腾。。。”

十一漫展&Cosplay

   太久没有写什么东西了,主要还是因为太懒了。。。
  说到“十一”,在休息的七天中,我基本上都在睡觉,吃饭,看电脑,过的很舒服也很颓废。这次“十一”值得纪念的除了看了几部好文之外就是参加了石景山漫展的Cosplay比赛。我和同校的好朋友们在“五一”时就参加过龙潭湖的漫展,那次的Cosplay虽然没有什么成绩却让我们非常高兴和自豪。现在校里的动漫社发展越来越好,大家对这次漫展也报有期待。
  我还是和上次一样Cos桔梗,其实我对她并没有太深的感情,似乎当时大家想Cos犬夜叉,就选了这个角色,我认为自己还不错哦。。。这次Cosplay也是出杂的,火影,死神,犬夜叉,浪客剑心和Peace Maker 。剧名叫《BT宠物店》,很不错的搞笑剧,不过最出彩的是走台之前的Dance,配乐《紫阳花物语》。我非常喜欢这个舞,之前也花了很多时间练习。据台下的人说超级不错哦,真高兴。。。
  Good news!我们这次进十佳了,接着要参加十一月地坛公园的决赛,还要继续加油啊!
  总之,这次漫展除了地方太小,人少了点之外还是让人满意的,和朋友们在一起感觉真舒服啊,以上。

好累啊。。。

  昨天看完英格兰和葡萄牙那场球后就睡了,不过做梦倒是梦到法国赢了,没想到起来看新闻居然是真的,呵呵。除了支持乌克兰以外,我是一个很中立的球迷,所以并没有特别高兴或伤心,比赛精彩更为重要吧。。。
  不过,这几天生物钟完全颠倒,早上用了闹钟也爬不起来,晚上翻来覆去也睡不着,所以总是全身乏力,还要复习,准备考试,真是太惨了。。。看来还是要调整状态啊。。。头晕
  看了CCTV-5的一个关于被淘汰球队的剪辑,在<Don't say goodbye>的背景音乐中,巴西,阿根廷,英格兰,荷兰,澳大利亚......一一的告别世界杯的赛场,不少球员和球迷都流下了伤心的泪水,从某种意义上说,这也是世界杯的魅力吧。有成功就有失败,有人欢笑就有人哭泣,我们无能为力。3000多年前的希腊,战士跑回雅典城后说的唯一一句话是“We are victories!”也想对黯然离开绿茵场的那些球员们说:“你们也是胜利者!”

Apple

嗯,口语课上的讲稿,整理了一下。。。

很喜欢这个Topic,之所以这么喜欢apple,和TF是分不开的啊,尤其是Fuji,这就是所谓的爱屋及乌了吧。。。笑^^

 

 

Today, my topic is this, yes, apple. We all know that it’s one kind of fruits, with smooth, lovely appearance and cheap price. It’s one of my favorite fruit, I’m also very interested in it. So let us share something about apple.

Firstly, about apple’s history. The Apple is a fruit of the temperate zones and only reaches perfection in the cooler areas. It’s brought from Europe. Apples of some sort were abundant before the Norman War and were probably introduced into Britain by the Romans. In the Old Saxon manuscripts there are lots of mentions of apples and cider. Archeologists have found evidence that humans have been enjoying apples since lat least 6500 B.C. Apples were the favorite fruit of ancient Greeks and Romans too.  Earliest printed books containing botanical information (being printed at Cologne about 1470), gives a chapter on the Apple, too.

That’s the real facts about apple’s history, but I think apple is very mysterious to some extent because it’s regarded as a “forbidden fruit”. There are many stories too. I want to say something from <The Da Vinci Code>. Most of you have read this novel, right? I like this novel very much. The code to open the scroll is:

In London lies a knight a Pope interred

His labor’s fruit a Holy wrath incurred

You seek the orb that ought be on his tomb

It speaks of Rosy flesh and seeded womb

Yes, the answer is “apple”. The orb from which Eve partook, incurring the Holy wrath of God, original sin. The symbol of the fall of the sacred feminine. The Rosy apple that fell from Heaven, stuck Newton on the head, and inspired his life’s work, his labor’s fruit! I think this is the most thrilling moment in the novel.

    In fact, apple is a number of the rose family is a very important fruit. There are 7500 varieties of apples are grown throughout the world in all shades of reds, greens, yellows. Apple varieties range in size from a little larger than a cherry to as large as a grapefruit. Some varieties are very famous like Golden Delicious, Fuji, Gala, Ginger Gold and so on. The largest apple picked weighed three pounds. World's top apple producer is China, and then United States, Turkey, Poland and Italy.

 

And then, I want to say something about apple’s nutrition, In fact I like study nutrition and cook very much. A medium apples is about 80 calories.

Apples are fat, sodium, and cholesterol free, too. It contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. They help to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of blood vessel walls, thus reducing the incident of heart disease and some other diseases. It is a good idea to eat apples with their skin. Because two–thirds of the fiber and lots of antioxidants are found in the peel, they are very good for health. In fact, apple is regarded as the “best fruit” in the U.S.A. On the other hand, if you want to keep slim. Apple is definitely a good choose. There are hundreds of dishes are made from apples too. Apple also has lots of medicinal uses. The apple acid is very precious, it’s good for liver. Apple juice is good for stomach and teeth. Just as the old saying goes: “ An apple a day, keeps the doctor away ”. This saying comes from am old English adage, “To eat an apple before going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread.” It’s reasonable. So, in the end, I want to say, please eat more apples and take care of you health.
