David's blog

After the security update of DNS server, the opera community's domain name, my.opera.com, was available in China mainland.Nowadays, the opera community and the Chinese authority seems to have found a way to be in harmony.Opera makes a new set of addresses just for China,my.cn.opera.com . Chinese IP will be redirect to this address and access to the blogs which belongs to Chinese users will be blocked with this page showing up,Blocked."We are sorry, but some pages on My Opera community are not available within the People's Republic of China".However, access to the foreign people's blog pages are not blocked.

I have no idea, why my opera blog, which is just a tool for me to practice my English and communicate with interesting people from all around the world, is "still not available within the People's Republic of China".

On the other hand, this new way of blocking seems to give us a new hope. Because the opera finally finds a way to cope with the authority's demands, in the meantime, maintaining most of it's functions. The unblocked address, my.opera.comis still accessable.This means direct access of the unblocked pages are still available.

How can a human being, attack, murder innocent women and children, destroying his own city?
I just don't understand, the murderers are insane. What make them like that?

I am back! As you know opera community has been blocked in China for a long time, so people in China have to use proxy sever to view myopera page. However posting text to the blog is always a problem. This time I use tor and firefox with the torbutton extention. Now it's working fine!

The chart below may show some basic differences:

• West / East
• One God / Many gods
• All powerful / Limited power
• One truth / Many truths

In China, there is actually never be a God that people believe. There are many philosophy genres that tried to explain the truth of life and universe, most of them rose during the warring states period, including the famous "Confucianism". Buddhism and Taoism(a indigenous religion that calls for harmonious relationship between people and that between people & nature) are also popular, each has its own "God".
In fact, the vast majority never believe that there are a God with human spirit. The philosophers believe that through self self-discipline, self-improvement and a whole system of society philosophy, people will finally get to a civilization stage. So even there is a God, he can never influence people's lives.
