00038: fragile life....

    I thumbed through local newspaper during the lunch time and planned to talk about some interesting news here tonight. However, I changed my mind after receiving a phone call from my former classmate this afternoon. She asked me some questions about interest rate we offered to our clients in domestic banks and then told me a death-news of my former roommate. 

    He, my former roommate in my master degree study, was dead in a medical accident during a tiny surgery operation last month. I was stunned and have been immersed in a deep thought until now. I still remembered the first sight I met him nearly four years ago. He was tall and muscular. He looked handsome, with short hair, thick eyebrow and big eyes. So many things and impression suddenly rushed into my brain and I found myself remembering every detailed things about him.

    I think over and over again after I heard of the news. We are fragile. We are taught to cruise in life. We are taught to realize that we are the host of our lives. On the contrary, on one understand who really control our fate. No one can choose his family and his nation. Some people have a good luck to be born in rich family and country. Others are born to suffer a misery life. No one knows what the next day will be, to win a lottery, or ........

    Where am I going?! Is it a time that I should live for myself?  Is there a crossing road standing in front of me that I have to make a decision now?! 

    I do not hope to feel regret when I ...........Therefore, I conclude a solution today that I should be happy everyday, even pretending to be a happy man!!!!

    Carpe Diem, to me and to everyone in this world.

PS: The attached photo was taken at the People's Square in Shanghai. The world is going ahead like nothing has happened. You are nothing to this world, but you are everything to yourself!

00037: AIDS Day in Shanghai

    It is a special day for all the people in this world, a day for a sort of disease that human beings still can not entirely know about. We have landed on the moon. We have dived into the deep water. We have shoot man-made spacecraft into the Mars. We learn so much about the natural world rather than ourself. 
 
    AIDS was first discovered in the early 1980s. The entire human beings have been involved in great horror after then. Sex is no longer a pure and safe enjoyment for people. Although we have conquered many difficulties and discovered lots of new scientific theories, we have not found any effective way to cure AIDS diseases. 

    Today is an AIDS day. We Chinese also pay great attention on this disease. So do the mass media. The local news paper posted a detailed report on AIDS situation in Shanghai. Our Premier Wen Jiabo donated his 5000 RMB yuan salary to AIDS contracted people. It was reported that the first government-financed gay bar would be opened Dec 1st in Dali city(a tourist city in Yunnan Province)on yesterday newspaper. However, we get to know the bar is shut due to some special reasons. 

    Shanghai Authority released that 392 AIDS cases was discovered in 2009, up to 886 cases in total over the years. According to an investigation, 38 percent of AIDS people  in China were contracted the disease by homosexual activities. I also read a piece of news saying that there is a group of gay volunteer in Shanghai, who open the first gay hot-line in China. These volunteers go to deliver free condoms in some sauna places regularly at the same time.  

    I see too many red ribbons today in newspaper and TVs today. I believe it is a good starting point that we begin to care about AIDS and AIDS people. I sincerely wish we can do it everyday rather than the December 1st. We should learn how to protect ourself, and do not pose discrimination on AIDS people. More importantly, we ought to cherish our life. I remember a sentence which is saying that " Cherish yourself because you will die for a very much long time!!!!".  

    Best wishes to you all.

00036:writing something without any purpose...

    I stopped writing and updating my blogs for several days again. I know I have gradually become a person who can insist on doing something for a long time, especially for those things that I am not interested in. I put much stress on me. I always feel that I am undertaking lots of burdens and never have a chance to take a breath to enjoy a happy life.
    I wish I could find a good job that I do not need to drink beers and do not have to accomplish many unreasonable and inhumanity sales targets. I wish I can have my own house which I can decorate in accordance to my favourite style. I wish I could find someone who deeply love me and deserve I love. All these things are like clouds floating over my head.
    I am totally lost in this modern city now, not knowing what I am really wanting, scaring being fired and unemployed. I always believe that one can realize his dreams with his hard working. However, this belief is nothing but shit in this city. The up grade people become much wealthier and on the contrary, the lower grade people never have a chance to change his life now.
    Where shall I go?!

00035: the reported effective Chinese Traditional Medicine for anti-N1H1...

    As the increasing dead N1H1 cases appeared in China and the sudden cold weather swept across the whole motherland, governments and citizens drew much more attention on prevention of N1H1 now. Beijing Chinese Traditional Medicine Regulated Authority released four series of CTM prescriptions for four different group of people, including the adult, the kid,the old and the pregnant. All released prescription were carefully verified, regarded as an effective way to protect from affection of N1H1 flu viruses.
 
    One of its prescription is as follows:
 
honeysuckle flower: six gram
FOLIUM ISATIDIS: six gram
Peppermint: three gram
Licorice Roots Northwest Origin: three gram
 
    Here are the steps for using these herbals. Put all these herbals in to water, five minutes for dipping and 10 minutes for boiling. Take out of the boiled water and add some water again into the left herbals, 10 minutes again for boiling and take out of the second boiled water.  Put all the boiled water together and drink it twice a day.
 
    Just for your reference. Anyway, we should keep a good rest, wash our hands more and do more exercises so as to keep good health. Best wishes for everyone reading this article.

00034: Obama in Shanghai

    US President Barack Obama arrived in Shanghai yesterday evening and started his first official visit in China today. It was reported that President Obama had a conversation with local officials on this morning. What made me interested was that Lovely President Obama joined in a dialogue with Chinese youth people in Shanghai Science and Technology Museum afternoon, where used to be a spot for APEC event in Shanghai several years before. I focused on the live report on Internet and witnessed the whole process this enthusiasm brainstorm. 
 
    If you thumb through today's newspaper, Obama's face were always put on the headings. He has become the first focused people in China now. I believe believe his visit will enhance the mutual understanding and cooperation between two countries.  However, most of us think that RMB will suffer a big threat of  appreciation after then,which is not good to our domestic economics.
 
    On the other hand,  Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock market boomed today, which was regarded as the welcome of President Obama.
 
    I attached a photo in this blog, which was taken on my way home. All belonging bags were asked to be scrutinized before we entered the underground. Local authority seemed to upgrade level of risk prevention.

00033: Singles Day....

     Today is November 11th, a very special day for Chinese people. Today is the Singles Day, which is also named as Guang Gun Festival in vernacular. As the date of today contains four same number ONE, we clever Chinese symbolize it as someone living alone without a companion beside and then name it as the Singles Day. 

     Some students in colleges or some youth usually hold different activities on this day. These various events are all in the purpose of helping bachelors say goodbye to single status.  Some young people will choose to take parties and hope to find the other part on this day.  It was reported on the local newspaper that one group people would held an interesting party this evening in Shanghai, offering quite a few games such as SanGuo Sha(a very popular  card games in Shanghai now, I will introduce it in my blogs next time) to provide opportunities  for those single attendants. 

    However, some young couples choose to register marriage on today. They believe four number ONE represent only one in one's heart and its symbolization will bring a good luck on their marriage.

    I am still officially single now. I was absorded myself in my work the whole day.  I have been making great efforts to change this status, but the result is far from my satisfactory. There is an old Chinese saying "nothing is better than everything". And I always hold the point of view that there exists fate which will bring two people walk together at last. I also wish it was my last Singles Day. 

    Good luck on me and every singles in this world.

00032:N1H1 in Shanghai....

     Government carried out a free vaccination program for students in primary and secondary school in Shanghai today.  It was reported that nearly 80 percent of the students join in the vaccination program. According to the policy, the whole class will not be able to be access to the vaccination if one of the students in this class has been being affected seasonal flu. And those students will take vaccination in 7 days later after the sick one recover. It is a good way to eliminate and reduce adverse effect of N1H1 vaccination into the largest extent.

    The second round of N1H1 influenza has geared up all over the world, which is also on the rise in China.  In total, the Chinese mainland has reported  59478 confirmed cases of the virus by Nov 8th, including 242 serious cases and  30 died cases. In the early spread of the flu, the majority of cases came from abroad, while currently, more and more citizens are being infected within the country. The infection of N1H1 is estimated to account for 80% of the total influenza cases, reported by authority. I can see more and more people are wearing mask in the metro trains, including me.LOL.... 
   
    It was ridiculous that the Chinese media(newspaper and Internet) reported quite officially that a new kind of high-tech N1H1 mask had been successfully invented, which could kill nearly 92% N1H1 viruses. However, director of National Influenza Testing Center declared the new N1H1 virus masks had never been tested and  verified by any Chinese authority yesterday. Some doctors also wrote articles on the local newspaper and said most of masks with 9 layer fabric could prevent N1H1 viruses effectively.

00031:Metros in Shanghai

I am sitting in the metro cab currently and just leave my office.thats why i suddenly would like to talk about something about metros in shanghai.
There are more than 12 metro lines in shanghai,whose number and density may be inferrior to those in such cities like New York and Tokyo. However,shanghai has the most developed metro lines network compared to other cities in China. We can go to nearly every important CBD and transportation center through metro lines and most people choose to take the underground to the offices in shanghai.
The biggest advantage of metros is the timetable can be accurately controled especially in the morning or evening when the traffic become terrable on the road.
The first metro line one opened to the public more than 15 years ago in shanghai. It started at the North railway station and ended at Jingjiang Park,only around 10 stops at all. The gov prolonged some important metro lines and extended those line`s stops up to 15 or 16 at last.
Currently, the network of metro lines in shanghai has covered most area of shanghai city,from urban and rural area. It is reported that the metro line 9 will be extended to Chongming Island through Changjiang Bridge-Tunnel.
If you take care of some passengers' behavior on the metros,you will find that about 30% play with their cell phone,including iphones,nokia,sony ericcesson and so on. Nearly another 30% use their mp4 player listening music,watching movies and reading ebooks.About 10% passengers play games by psp while 20% often read newspapers and books. Most of the others usually take a nap .Reading ebooks or playing games on my dopod c720 is my first choice to killing time...And it is the first time im trying to write this article in the metro train!

00030: what happened in last 9 days...

    Sorry, everyone. I was in breach of my promise again. I realize that I am only a ordinary people and find out the impatience is one of my big weak point. I once read a survey that only half of bloggers can insist on updating blogs frequently after 3 months. And only one tenth of bloggers can continue updating theirs blogs after 1 year. I dont how long i will hold on after today, but I will have a try and hope to be one out of ten. 

    Turning back to the main point, it did occurred lots of important things or incidents in Shanghai and Chinese circle during the past 9 days.. 

1. Shanghai Changjiang tunnel-bridge opened to the public on Oct 31th. The project consists of Changjiang Bridge and a Tunnel part with the total length of 25.5 kilometres. The overall investment reached nearly 12.62 billion yuan RMB.  The bridge starts from Chongming Isand and ends in Changxing Island. And the tunnel brings the Changxing Island and Shanghai land together then. It is a momentum for the local citizen that people can take bus or cars to go Chongming or Changxin Island, where were only reached by ships only. Many Shanghainese now are hoping to have a short tour on Chongming Island, including our family.

2. Qian Xuesen, the father of China's rocket and the Space Program, died on Nov 11th. He used to study in Massachusetts Institute of Technology and came back to China and made great efforts to the development in China's space technology. Mr Qian was not left a deep impression among the so called 80's or 90's youth people, but he was respected and revered by most of people as my fathers age. My father once told me before that Mr Qian was a real scientist in his image at the time when my father was young. 

2. The construction of Shanghai Disney Land was finally approved by the government on Nov 5th. All the local newspaper and mass medias placed this breaking news on the headline. I believe it is an cardiotonic to the local economics. Sorts of local stocks related to the project of Disneyland had witnesses a sharp increase in price during the past half year. The floor price of the crude land where the future Shanghai Disney Land will be located doubled during the past one year and reach a high point at 14000 yuan per square meters. Although we local citizens welcome the Shanghai Disney Land, we also have some worries about it, such as the future price in real estate market, the threat against local market and so on.

    Life is going, and I will try to continue doing some valuable things rather than wasting my time, which will make my life much more meaningful.....

00028: Windows 7 is coming...

    Microsoft China started to sell Windows 7 in the mainland simultaneously on October 23th, 2009. Windows 7 Home Edition  is priced at around RMB 699 Yuan, lower than the price in other countries. It is reported that it is the first time Microsoft software sells cheaper in China than other Nations. The launch of Windows 7 has attracted much attention by PC companies,technology manufacturers and customers. Lenovo said that its service system had been prepared for the launch of this new operating system.  I believe Windows 7 is welcomed by most PC companies and hardware manufacturers, as its a good opportunity for them to launch new products and eliminate old ones. It is also a good chance to push the whole electronic technology into a high level.

    However, I am still using the computer I purchased six years ago, equipped with Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz, 256MB memory, 17' inches CRT screen. The operating system of this computer is windows XP. I have never planned to upgrade to windows 7, although I am sooo shocked at the beautiful operating interface and desktop of Windows 7. I even love the transparent manus of Windows 7, which impressed me deeply. But the reason why i do not make a change may be as follows:

1. windows xp can meet most of my working and entertainment requirements
2. windows xp is much more compatible than windows 7, i supposed. New system always has some problems in computability.
3. my hardware may not meet the minimum requirements for installing windows 7
4, at last but not least, my windows xp is cracked version.  I can not upgrade to the new version.

   Although the new windows 7 is sooo attractive, the only thing I could do now is to make a wish that windows 7 can be sold well in China and win the victory in the final competition against cracked software market!!!

00027:Liu Xiang.....

   Liu Xiang won the first prize in Chinese National Sport on the day before yesterday. I believe many Chinese people were sitting in front of the TV sets watching and witnessing this exciting moment that time. 
   
    Liu Xiang, born and grown up in Shanghai, was famous for his breaking record in 110-meter hurldes in 2006. He set a new world record in the 110 metre hurdles, at the Super Grand Prix in Lausanne on July 11, 2006, with a time of 12.88 seconds. It was the first time Chinese people conquered other atheletes in the world track and field sports races. 

    Liu has become so popular since then. He took part in many comercial activities and was attractive toward big companies. We could always see lots of TV advertisments played by him at that time.

   However, to all of us surprise, Liuxiang quit the 110-meter hurldes in Beijing Olypics last year, which irritated some Chinese people. Some people thought he did it on purpose as he was afraid to be defeated by others. But others believe the official explaination that Liu did had some problems with his legs.

    Liu seems to be a national treasure in China now. He represents the Chinese image, speed and spirit. No matter why he quit the olympics, most Chinese people love him as much as another sports star Yao Ming  who is as a basketball sportsman in NBA. 

   Anyway, as far as I am concerned, I always marvle at his the exaggerated movements and expressions......

00026: Chung Yeung Festival

    Today is the traditional Chinese festival called Chung Yeung Festival. Chung Yeung Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. People usually take part in some tradional activities on Chung Yeung Festival, such as go climbing and eat Chung Yeung  Cake. 

   The following story is taken from the internet. 
    "Traditionally, people go climbing on the Chung Yeung Festival. This custome come into story from the Han Dynasty tells of a man named Huan Ching who was studying the immortal arts from the Taoist monk Fei Chang-fang. One Day Fei Chang-fang warned Huan Ching that, "On the ninth day of the ninth moon, great calamity will strike your home. You must quickly tell your family to sew a cloth bag and fill it with dogwood branches. This you must hold tightly in your hand and ascend to the mountain top and there drink chrysanthemum wine. If you do all of these things as instructed, you will be able to avoid disaster." Huan Ching heeded Fei Chang-fang's warning, leading his family to the mountain top on the specified day. When the family returned again at dusk, Huan Ching discovered, as the Taoist sage had warned, that all of his chickens, dogs, and sheep, and other animals had been violently slaughtered. Upon hearing this news, Fei Chang-fang went to Huan, telling him, "All of this has been done so that you may escape death!" And since that time, the customs of ascending high, drinking chrysanthemum wine, and carrying dogwood branches have all become part of the Chung Yeung Festival"

   As it's not easy for people living in cities to climb mountains, most of people choose to eat Chung Yeun Cake. Here is another story about Chun Yeung Cake I read from Internet. 
    "The tradition of eating cakes in September is originated from the ancient times. Though the name of "Gao" started from the Six Dynasties, the cakes had already existed in Han Dynasty, which was called "Er" in Chinese at that time. It is made of rice flour, which is classified into two types: paddy rice flour and millet rice four. They are streamed together, which is named "Er". In September, the millet is ripe. It is regarded as the food just in season, which is offered to ancestors as sacrifices. Chongyang Cake comes from the food just in season in September. That is why Chongyang Cake is recommended for offering sacrifices to ancestors on the day of Chongyang Festival."

    I went to a food grocery named "Shen Da Cheng" in Nanjing Road after work today, which is famous for their Chung Yeung cakes. To my surprise, I marveled at how many people lined up in front of the store when I arrived there. I finally bought a box of it. My parents were so happy when I sent them the box of Chung Yeng Cake. And I feel so relieved at the same time.

    The attached photo in this blog is the cake I bought today.

00025: we want a job....

    I read a news on today's local newspaper. It was reported that twin sisters named Christi Bali and Kitty Bali struggled to find jobs since May last year in the United States. They have sent out hundreds of resumes on Internet and attempted to do more than 150 jobs.The twin sisters have done such jobs like waitress in a bar, mailing for the old, cutting the grass, or even helping an Animal Protectionism to bury accidentally died animals on the road. They spent most of time on Internet to grasp any job opportunities, checking mailbox and browsing craisglist frequently everyday.  However, they are still unemployment at present.
   
    The article vividly portrayed the difficulty of job seeking for new graduate students in United States. However, there was another news report drew me attention today. There are many Overseas Education Exhibition held in Shanghai and across China these days. More and more college students choose to go overseas for further study so as not to work or seek job immediately. The statistics shows that over 16 thousand student went abroad for study in 2008. And the number will be expected to reach 20 thousand in 2009. United States and Australia are two hot spots for Chinese students. 

    Frankly speaking, the employment ratio of new graduated students in Shanghai is far from satisfactory too. I talked on this topic with one of my colleague on my way home last Friday. She was graduated in the summer of this year and employed by our company several months before. She planned to be a teacher but become a salesman in our company at last. She told me most of international companies closed or stopped their employment plan on fresh graduates in China, such as Big Four Accounting Firms, Investment Banking Corp, famous Consulting Companies, which used to be attracted by lots of Chinese fresh graduate students.

    So we are all facing and suffering the negative effects on global economics recession. 

    Although I am not happy with my current, I have a job at least.......

00024: a sport competition and loving of campus....

    Today a sport competition for our company was held at a playgroud in a high school near the office building. All staff were divided into several groups to take part in different sport events, such as standing long jump, basketball, running, tug and so on. I was so excited in this sport competition, standing alongside and cheering for the athletes all the time.  I suddenly learned something from today's competition.

1, Sports have some magic which can bring all the people together.
2, We are taught to learn what is competition and trained to be much more competitive in sports,  which help us survive in this cruel society.

    As our sport event was held in a high school, it provided me a good opportunity to enjoy a short campus life again. I was deeply moved by the peace of surroundings in this school. The buildings stacked with red bricks, the yard with deep green grass, the trees swinging under slight wind, the golden sunshine casting on the grey wall.... I was absorbed myself in everything in it. All anxieties and worries for salary, social position, career, performance in work and so forth were absolutely thrown out of mind.  It seemed to exist an invisible wall between campus and society. You could just  hear your inside voice in the campus and took a breath to think about yourself at that time.....

00023:Swimming...

    I have to admit that swimming is an very important activity in my everyday life now. I go the the gym and swim nearly everyday. However, it is quite ridiculous that I started to swim because of a person whom I loved very much. For the purpose of forgetting something and trying to distract myself on someone, I registered a membership in a gym and started my swimming life in the end of January in 2008. It has been more than one year and a half since I started my swimming life. No matter how terrible the weather is, I always appear in the swimming pool in time everyday.

    I still clearly remember that it snowed so heavily like dog and cat in Shanghai last year, the biggest snowing which never occurred in this city before. I sticked to swim during that period of time. I was naked inside of the room and swimmed freely in the water, while I should wear thick clothes and walked on the slippy roads covering with frozen snows then. The feeling was so great!!!

    The reason I love swimming is as follows. At first, swimming is good for one's health. Secondly, it can make my body much muscular and sexy. Thirdly, persisting in swimming everyday is not a piece of cake for me. It do challenge my will and brave. At last but not least, I met up some friends in the swimming pool.

    Finally, as I was major in economics in school, I'd like to introduce the average fee in swimming in Shanghai. It cost about 20 yuan once, slightly different from different places. However, the cost can be reduced if you apply a membership in the gym which is equipped with swimming pool. It cost me about 3200 yuan in the gym named WELLNESS for a 19 month membership. If I go there everyday, the fee will only be around 6 yuan once a time. It's not very expensive yet, just as equal as to buy two cups of Coke:)

00022: If I become a millionare overnight

     I passed by a lottery booth today and glanced at some information and numbers on the board put in front of this booth's window. Although these information is none of my business, it still occurred to me the incident that one person won 88 top prizes in China several days before, amounting to about 359.9 million yuan.

    Until now can it make me believe it is a true story. Can you imagine that people  dared to buy 88 same lottery tickets of the same number at one time?!  And what coincident is that all amounts of money in the bonus stock or bonus pool is just the same as the guy who won 88 top prizes! Anyway, I have not any further proof to demonstrate my suspicion. One thing I sometimes think about these days is if i become a millionaire overnight, what I shall do next....

    If I win the top prize of the Union Lotto, I will have got nearly 4 million yuan after tax. At first, I will spend 2 million yuan to purchase a sound good department in the center area of Shanghai city. The average personal revenue per month in Shanghai is around 2500 Yuan, which means i can save about 66 years to have my own place to live.( 2000000/2500/12=66.67). Then, I will spare about 20 thousand to travel around world. To see the whole world have been one of my biggest dream since I were young.
Thirdly, I will quit my job without any hesitation. I will spend one year on going over my high school courses and plan to take the entrance examination to the university again. And this time, I will choose biology as my major rather than the economics. I have been interested and keen in animals, plants and so on for a long time even since I were a child. I will devote all my life on it after then.....

   Sigh... All above is only thing I daydreamed in my mind. I am still a ordinary people in this city, doing what I am not interested to do, earning salary which only nearly cover monthly expense of mine.....

   Holding On for Dear Life FOREVER....

00021: a new starting point

    I still can not log into blogger.com website to update my blogs today.  The website is blocked by chinese government. I try to visit and write something on Wordpress, however it is blocked too. At last, i find out nearly most of the famous Web 2.0 website such as blogger.com, Wordpress,com, Twitter, Livejournal and so on are all out of service in Shanghai, China. Fortunately, I remembered opening a service in blogger.com, which let me update my blogs via email. I wish it can work now.

    I just want to write something in English. The 5.5 point  I got in IELTS writing test did hit me a lot and break my dream away(although i got the total score in 7 point, including 8 points in reading, 7.5 points in listening, and 6 points in speaking
). I had planned to go to Autralia, but it is only a dream now.
    Why I choose to fly to Australia?! It is pity that I have not got the answer yet. The only thing I can figure out is I eagerly want to stop working, quit the job and leave the city or country I am living now.
     I met up one foreign friend in the swimming pool this evening. He is from US and being a teacher in Shanghai at present. I asked him if he likes what he is doing now. He answered yes without any hesitation. I said to him he was the most fortunate people in the world.
     On the contrary, my life and I is nothing but shit.
    
     I picked out my English learning book from bookshelf and started to go over something at home in the evening. Although the life is not like what I used to dream, I am doing something to change. Although I am not happy and satisfied with it, I am doing something to chang it. I wish today is a good starting point for me, a turning point in life. 
     I believe I will find myself one day!!!!

Fortunately, I remembered opening a service in blogger.com, which let me update my blogs via email. I wish it can work now.

    I just want to write something in English. The 5.5 point  I got in IELTS writing test did hit me a lot and break my dream away(although i got the total score in 7 point, including 8 points in reading, 7.5 points in listening, and 6 points in speaking
). I had planned to go to Autralia, but it is only a dream now.

    Why I choose to fly to Australia?! It is pity that I have not got the answer yet. The only thing I

00020:lost in alcohol

00020:lost in alcohol
I am sitting in the ktv room now,singing with my colleagues,after drunk a lot at dinnder tonight. I am really lost now. It`s not the life i wanna to have,and i even feel nasty of it now. I always believe people become real friends and establish true faith against each other based on the honesty,careness,and respect.however,alcochol plays very important roles in networking in china.i hate it!!!does alcohol really bring people together? I wanna live a life without alcohol.i wanna get rid of alcohol to keep good health. I hold the point of view that i can make money depends on my professionals rather then the volumn of alcohol.
Thouth i have not figured out my next stop yet, i start to think  of my future now.
Quit or holding?Is it a time for me
Be my self.......
God bless me

00019:I was cheated by my friend to come out.....

    I always treat my friends honestly and friendly. However, one of my close friend broke the game rule yesterday. He was my colleague and also my close friend. We are working in the same group company. We knew each other last year and were enrolled to this company at the same time. We worked together for only one month and a half and then were assigned to the different outlets. Tough it is not convenient for us to see each other every day, we still keep close contact via msn, qq, or sms.

   He is a cute and lovely guy. I like him at the first sight of him. Frankly speaking, thats why i tried to be closer to him and then made friends with him. We shared a good happy time last week. We even stayed very closely during the three-week training course. He told me that their parents introduced him a girl for him and it was the first time for him to have so called girl friend. However, he said goodbye to her after one month later.

   He sent me a sms for greeting yesterday while I was really quite busy at that time. Hearing from him always made me so happy and excited that I replied him directly. I still joked with him and asked whether he had a girl friend yet. To my amazement, he told me he was a gay and questioned me if I were interested in him.

   I answered Yes.

   It was a trap. He cheated me. He suspected me for a long time. He even replied me a happy face symbol when kwowing the deepest secret of me.....

   I was crying when coming back home. I couldn't help crying. I just felt like that one of my close, beloved friend were getting away. And I am still not figuring out why he did it.

   My heart was broken again yesterday.

00018:Does it make any sense if you change yourself?

    I spend the whole day, sitting in front of the computer at the office and write a half year performance report for the manager.  Sometimes I wonder if i shall work like this for the whole of my life. I never like to do the job like this. I did not like economics since I was in the college. I even hated it when I was in my master degree study. I am constantly questioning myself why i chose to continue my further study in master degree of economics, why I was finally employed in this department. Though I always force me to endure a little bit more, I start to think where i shall go and how I spend the rest of my life. Currently, it's not the life I used to dreamed.
 
   I just saw an advertisement of VISA in TV. It's an American man dancing in the different cities across the world. I read more stories about him on local newspapers and Internet. I believe only Americans are able to do such sorts of things. We Chinese young people shoulder too much responsibilities and expectation from their family and society. They are taught to earn money for buying their own house, get marriage and breed babies as earlier as possible, take good care of their old parents, and also accumulate some money for illness and their own retirement life.
 
   There is an old saying that if you can not change the world, just change yourself. However, as far as i am concerned, it's just a bullshit. Does it make sense if you change yourself? Will you become happy if you always try to adapt yourselves this questionable society, especially in Shanghai, China?!

00017: The sharply uprising price of housing in Shanghai

   If you thumb through the mainstream medias, newspapers or Internet website, you will find out that the price of house and apartment is rising day by day in Shanghai again these days. The newspapers are filled with reports and advertisements about the real estate, which attracts great attention by the citizens and help to launch a hot discussion about the housing issue in Shanghai. My colleagues talk about it everyday. And I even heard many people talking about it in the underground railway on my way to the office.
 
   As far as I(an ordinary 27 year old young people) am concerned, the uprising price of housing in Shanghai can only lead to a misery for me. I will never be able to afford buying an apartment in my life. 
 
    My salary is about 3000 RMB after tax. If I want to buy an apartment of 90 square meters which is located in urban, I have to pay for about 1,800,000 RMB now. It means I have to save all my salary for more than 25 years. But I should warn everyone that this calculation is excluded other economics factors or variation. 
 
    The actually current situation in Shanghai, or other cities in China, is that  the gross increase of the price of house and apartments in Shanghai is around 20% in the past five years. On the contrary, the gross increase of my salary is nearly 5%. 
 
    Well, just like Americans says, I shall hold on for the dear life  and continue enjoying the "happy" life staying with my parents. Further more, I shall always believe and trust the Communist Party, making a beautiful daydream that our lovely Communist Party will ever solve the problem in the future.
 
    How long is the future? Am I able to see it?!

00016:the day I went away....

    I am now sitting in front of my laptop to write this blog. It is so hot here in Shanghai. The temperature in the room is around 31 degree centigrade. The television set is switched on playing CNN News today. Writing a blog is my last thing I ask myself to do everyday before going for sleep, as I wish I could keep the proficiency of my English. On the other hand, these words posted on the Internet will demonstrate there is a ME living in this world.
 
   Turning back to the main point, it is the first day of the work this week. I always feel soooo sick on Monday. I think the reason is that I do not like what I am doing and sooo confused of my career in the future.
 
    I leave home at about 7:10 am and arrive at the office by the underground railway before 8:30. I should make several phone calls to my customers to deal with post-credit management or just keep contact. I have to write many reports to apply credit line for customers. And I also have to answer endless questions from some SMEs to solve settlements problems.Our salary is closely connected with the volume of deposit and loan of the customers I server for. This is the first thing that make me sick a lot. Further, which I feel mostly sick  and nasty is that WINE PLAYS A CRITICAL IMPORTANT ROLE IN MARKETING AND NETWORKING!!!!
 
    I HATE WINE!!
 
    I often finish my job and leave my office at around 5:30 pm and go for swimming for about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. I often watch CNN to practise my English and read newspaper in the evening......
 
    That's the day I go way, the ordinary day life of a 27 years old young man in Shanghai, China.
 
    HOPE YOU ENJOY IT:)

00015:visiting my grandparents

    Today is the National Dad's Day. I go to my grandparents home with my father and mother. It has been nearly half an year since I visited my grandparents last time. What impress me most today is I do realize my grandparents is old and nobody can not keep young forever.
 
    My grandfather was born in 1919 and my grandmother was born in 1923. Life is not easy for them now. As they refuse to stay in beadhouse, they have to take care of each other by themselves. They should prepare food,cook, clean the house and do other sorts of chores everyday. Everything seems to be difficult for them. When I chat with my grandparents and adivise them to employ someone to help with the house working, they reject. Perhaps what we think is totally different what they are considering.
 
    91 years old....How many years are left for my grandparents? I lied on bed yesterday and suddenly asked myself a question. If the god give me ten days left for living in this word, and can realize my ten wishes in the seperate day, what I shall live on the left ten days, what the ten wishes are?!
 
    I am 27 years old now. The earlier I make out a list of the ten wishes, the better life it may be for me in the future, I supposed, because I will know what is much important for me.
 
    Answer this puzzle in my next blog. I am tired now.....

00014: unsuccessful "rape" tells me that friend is much more important

     It has been one week since I invited one of my best friend coming to my home.  My parents were out for travel last week. I had a chance to stay at home alone. As it was unusual for me to have so much freedom and privacy room, I asked one of my friend L to come back home with me.
     L was one of my college classmate. We have knew each other for more than eight years. He is a eally cute guy, simple and easy going. We shared lots of happy time together in the four-year campus life. I always suspected that he was a gay at that time. Anyway, I knew I got the correct answer last year.
    When he arrived at my home, we opened TV and started to watch sorts of videos whiling chatting and joking. After warming for about an hour, I began to touch his arms, pat his head or push him gently in purpose. Finally I told him that I was going to hug him and hoping to stripe him of.
    To my disappointment, he refused and told me that friendship was much more important for him. We were too familiar with each other to do something like that.
    At the moment, when I am trying to going through all the memory again, I am questioning about something. Do real friendship or love between men? Do you believe gay-love? Do you put the sex or love on your boyfriend?
    I had to admit sex was getting more important for me before. I had believed love but was abandoned by love. It's too tired and difficult for me to find true love again. Sometimes sex was quite simple.
   Not until this unsuccessful rape did I realize that the existing of love, or the friendship between two men. We shall never rule out it, or we will have no difference with the animals in this world. For now, I wish I could say sorry to LMZ. 
   Good luck and best wishes.

00013: The Blogger is Blocked by Chinese Gov Again.

     I can not log on blogger.com these days. Though I did and never posted any blogs concerning about Politics Issues of the mainland China, the website is still sunk under the Internet now. I can not visit it, update my blogs or contact with others.

     The reason is relatively obscure. However everyone of us see it clearly now. Just like what I saw in CNN news.

     In order to practise my English, I start to watch Live CNN News by satellite.  It was amazingly for me to watch the report of Tiananmeng Crackdown on the day before June 4th.  I was only nearly ten years old at that time and can not remember anything about it. All I knew about this accident was from my parents or the elder people. Everything about this accident is full of mysterious. But I was really shocked when I saw the scene played in CNN News. Was It real?

    Anyway, as far as I am concerned, I am just an ordinary citizen, living peacefully and disciplining myself in accordance to every rule and regulation in China.
  
    I am always confused about the surroundings around me and also myself. Why do so many people living unhappily in Shanghai, China? Why am I suffering so much from this society?

    I wish I could find an answer one day! 

   Further more, this is the only way for me to update my blog via email. Sincerely wish someone could read this blog and give me some information back if you happen to see it.

    Best wishes and God bless me!!

00011:REINCARNATION


I read the word "REINCARNATION" in an English book long time ago. It probably means someone has a new fresh blood, spirit or body. Although I can not comprehend the meaning of the word correctly, I still would like to use "REINCARNATION" as the title of this blog.

I watched News Programs when I had my dinner a moment ago. The News media said there is only less than one year left before the opening of Shanghai World EXPO. I even suddenly realize there is only less than 3 years before the thirtieth birthday of my life.

Several months was passed since I posted my last blog. It seems that the time gear runs faster and faster. During the past few months, I was indulged myselves in working, swimming and deeply thinking over my life, my whole life.

I always encourage myself that EVERY THING WILL BE BETTER. However, on the other hand, I was living passively. But now I decide to change something, striding a big step toward my new life.

I will not give up hopes, give up English, give up my belief, and also give up blogging.

This is a new point, which is verified by my blog here!!!!
