I have just finished the book "The stories of Bible" by Hendrik Willem Van Loon. Before reading this book, I actually know little about the Bible, God, and Christ. As a young Chinese who merely care nothing about religion, I just hear about these things from western movies or TV series.
The book tells stories from the creation of world to Saint Peter.
I have to admit that the Old Testament was quite boring. A tribe rose from the desert and became a great nation of Jaws, with all its killings and murderings.
But when it came to the New Testament, the stories of Jesus and his disciples give me the ideas of how these people, changed the world.
They believe everyone should be equal, should be loved, cause they are all loved by God.
Jesus tells people to love others as themselves.
Actually, I believe in miracles, but not supernatural. The Jesus turning-water-to-wine story will never make any sense to me.
But I do believe that everyone has his own God, who leads the soul and comfort it.

I have been playing Wow for nearly 2 years, and have 2 60levs:a nightelf chaser and a human warrior, both are female characters.
I was absorbed into Wow the first day it came to this country. There once was a fever with it among the youth, everyone want to try to play a real 3D online game, and also it was free that time.
With no particular reason, I choose the name "hdhao", and built the character, a chaser. That's the character I played for almost a year, I never thought I would do so when it began to take up all the time I have: even in dreams.
Then, on the request of some of my classmates, I changed a sever, and got another character, a warrior and played with them. With this new one, the real meaning, the true Wow idea turned up: the Dungeons, the raid, the guild. Every minute in Wow we are raiding, or preparing for raid and the Blizzard was adding new and more powerful Dungeons patch after patch!
Since the burning crusade has not yet come to China mainland, the most powerful Dungeon now is NAXX, people really get freaked out in there! They pour more time, or even money in it just wanting to get the most powerful equipment.
That's what they do: they spent hours after hours in raiding, got the best equipment that anyone else have never seen, stand in the crowd and show themselves. And that's what they want!
I admit the most exciting things about Wow is that it requires largely of cooperation, and the joy of defeating monsters after monsters with your friends, often with hardworking. But why are the dungeons become so powerful that many player just can not have their fun in them any more?
Everyday farming, everyday raiding.
So, the players leave one by one. Some of them wait for the burning crusade, some just quit. Anyway, the "burning crusade" will never be available before May, cause the 9th City( the company that operates Wow for Blizzard in China mainland) have just got in handy a new game coming to China, the guild war, so the "burning crusade" have to make way for it. That's something to wait for! That's one reason why the Wow player call the "9th city", "dog city". A name with "dog" in it will never be a good name in China, you know.
A month ago, I finally quit. Since then, I've got to wonder why I lost myself in such a game for so long. Sometimes, people's getting lost in something is just fine, at least we should have sometime to relax, but why we are absorbed in such a game so deep, and the result hurts us so badly?
World of warcraft have some magic hidden in it, I guess…
YO, I've got another question to ask, do you have a "month card" for Wow so that you can play as long as you wanna in a whole month?
We do not, the "dog city" wouldn't do such a thing...so every hour, 0.4yuan.

I have changed the face of this place for a grand new spirit, a green mood.This will give my page a bright background and a green environment.
Actually, I want more green like a bamboo forest in my page like this:

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
不知哪的牛人绝译如下：
一个人要走过多少路，
才能被真正地称做人？
白鸽要飞越多少海洋，
才能栖息在沙滩上？
到底要经历多少枪林弹雨，
武器才能被永远的禁止？
朋友，就让答案随风而逝。
即使抬头仰望，是否能看见蓝天？
即使当权执政，是否能听见民众的呐喊？
即使死了千万人，是否也永远不够？
朋友，就让答案随风而逝。
在河水干涸之前，青山是否依然存在？（这里明显不对，原文根本没提河水，和下句联起来似乎有沧海桑田之时，自由才能重获的意思，但又不好合起来，不知道怎么办了）
在重获自由之时，人类是否安然无恙？
是否转过身去，就能装作看不到苦难的脸？（我译作：人们要到什么时候，才能正视人间的苦难？）
朋友，就让答案随风而逝！
