On the journey with dreams

On 7 Nov, there's a Beer Festival in Crown Plaza Hotel Shenzhen. It was fun, lots of beer,dortmunder,buffet dinner and so many people around. Also there's a Germany band performing on the stage and that made people even more excited.Dortmunder tastes good,I love it,but not as much as Kingway.Here're some photos, check it out.

As the title,what is the filter software actually filtering? Really only porn and ill info? Or more?
Google was expelled and a filter software named Green Dam will be installed to every PC very soon.

This place is regarded as an Internet black hole,what are those things that they're are so afraid to let us know? Why they're keeping this from us? Even the My opera community was reedited and became a version of their own here.

So sick of this......feeling like a fool......

The lunar year of 2008,is the year of RAT according to Chinese culture.
There are twelve different animal signs,鼠：Rat，牛：Ox，虎：Tiger，兔：Hare，
龙：Dragon ，蛇：Snfke，马：Horse，羊：Sheep，猴：Monkey，鸡：Cock，狗：Dog，猪：Boar,
each one for one lunar year. Different sign represents distinct meaning.
Every 12 years is a circle.
(Wanna know more? U gotta check it on line or come to me.)

Born in 1984,the year of RAT,I meet my second year of fate this year.
It's said that one would enjoy great luck or be enmeshed in misfortune.
One's fate would go to extremes in the year of same animal sign.

I konw RAT is not an pleasing animal both at home and abroad.
But I don't take it for granted that it will certainly bring me bad luck.
I know I'm going to meet big changes in 2008,but I will adjust my psychology
so to meet all the changes and seize chances.

In 1996,my first year of fate,I met great changes for thr first time in my life.
I moved to a new city and began a different life.Making new friends, learning something new,
life also taught me a tough and profound lesson. I became strong and independent at that time.
Tracing back to that period,I am still so grateful that I had the chance to meet changes,
for I'm not only changed, but changed for the better.

Now, another year of fate has arrived, I don't know what are waiting for me in the following days,
something good or something really bad.But I understand clearly that I'm meeting great changes right now, however, I'm looking forward to! I believe that I will make wonderful progress, too.

There are several years of fate waiting for me in the future, I wish I'll become a better person each time.

Yesterday, my teacher showed us this vedio in our class--Appreciation of Greek Mythology.
It's hard for us eastern people to understand the meaning.
Why it's called A Greek tragedy?
In a sense,it expressed about feminism.How do you think of it?
Which scene showed this meaning?
Could you please write down you understanding here?
I have my own understanding,but I don't think it the best answer.
I want to understand it better.
If anyone write down a comment,I would be very grateful.

FOXES have been popular characters in Chinese fables for two millennia. They first featured in their original animal form before gradually taking on the persona of spirits, both benevolent and malevolent, in the guise of bewitchingly beautiful, charming young women.
Famous Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) writer Pu Songling’s stories about fox spirits in his well-known Strange Tales from Make-do Studio characterize them as beautiful creatures that embody the finest human virtues of fidelity, love, generosity, justice, and willingness to help others. Over the past three centuries, readers of Pu Songling’s work have come to refer to these characters as “fox angels” rather than “fox spirits.”

Women of the Dream World
Xiaocui is a charming fox spirit story in Pu Songling’s work. Xiaocui is lovely, vivacious fox spirit with the outward trappings of a beautiful young lady. One day, her fox mother takes her to the Wang household and steals away, apparently abandoning her daughter. Wang is a local official whose only son is mentally challenged. He has neither playmates nor marriage prospects, but Xiaocui befriends and later marries him. Although the Wangs initially love Xiaocui, her unruly ways antagonize them, and they often scold and upbraid her, but Xiaocui accepts this treatment with equanimity. When Wang is framed by his political enemies Xiaocui’s wisdom saves the family from disaster. She also cures her husband’s mental illness. But Xiaocui knows that her parents-in-law will never be able to accept her rebellious attitude towards the feudalistic conventions of the time. She finds a young woman that resembles her and arranges for her to take her place in the Wang household. Before stealing away, Xiaocui confesses to her husband that she is actually the daughter of a fox. Decades previously, her mother had sheltered from a thunderstorm under Wang’s robe as he himself took refuge from the storm in a temple. Although Wang had not been aware of the help he had given the fox mother, she felt beholden to repay him the kindness he had done her. It was for this reason that she left Xiaocui in his care.


Though some fox spirits are regarded as benign,there are some evil fox spirits.


Vituperative Vixen
[ Daji, heroine of Canonization of the Gods, exemplifies the evil fox spirit.
Daji is a fox spirit in the form of a beautiful young woman who is sent by the deity to bewitch King Zhou and bring about the downfall of the Shang Dynasty. Her reward is immortality.
This novel is a main reason why feminine charms are frequently equated with evil fox spirits, and why calling a woman a fox is generally intended as an insult.

The Classic of Mountains and Rivers, a geographic and mythical encyclopedia compiled more than 2,000 years ago, describes the fox as a nine-tailed, man-eating monster. The Shuo Wen Jie Zi(Explanation and Study of Principles of Composition of Characters), China’s first dictionary, written between 100 and 121 during the Eastern Han Dynasty, however, defines the fox as “a bewitching animal ridden by devils.”

It is probably a mixture of resentment and admiration that caused Chinese literature to portray the fox as alternately benign and evil.
