my.opera-quick-reply.js is an Opera User Javascript by Ayush (Modified by Tamil... and now me - who's next ?) that allows to add formatting tools into the text area of comments in my.opera, and with extra animated smileys (including your own if you want to).

To have the same thing in Firefox (please, don't tell me you use Internet Explorer ...) you have to:
-install the "GreaseMonkey" plugin in Firefox (after installing it, you will have to restart Firefox)
- download this file : my.opera-quick-reply.js
- save the file as my.opera-quick-reply.user.js for example on your Desktop
- open the file in Firefox (drag and drop from the Desktop to the address bar of Firefox, press Enter)
- a dialog will open, asking you if you whan to install the script, accept the install of the script

From now on when you open a Opera comment page in Firefox, you should have all the edition buttons (bold, italic, and so on), including a very smiling smiley, when you click on it it will show all the smileys. Click on a smiley to insert it where the cursor is.

This version of the script also works as Opera UserJS (but you should keep the original name: "my.opera-quick-reply.js") and fixes a problem with the original script : the extra animated smileys can now be inserted into a text line (with the original script each appears alone on a single line, due to the use of the Opera [img] tag).

Title : English title: "No puedo vivir sin ti" / Chinese title : "不能沒有你" / French translation: "impossible de vivre sans toi"
Informations : taiwanese movie - Drama - 1h 32min - 2008 - (beautiful) Black & White
Language :Mandarin and Fujian Dialect - English sub-titles
Director : Dai Liren = Leon Dai : very good director, quite classical direction, sensitive but modest touch.



characteristics (from my point of view) :

• masterpiece : definitely MUST SEE.
  
• direction : very soft, and with a great sense of the picture composition and framing.
  
• story : a father, his little daughter, and the indestructible love they have for each other, confronting to the stupid rules of bureaucracy and to poverty. And the industrial harbour as the third main character.
  
• very good actors, Chen Wen-Pin (the father) which uses his body as a language, Chao Yo-Hsuan (the daughter) very calm and cute, and the "uncle" (Liu Chin-Ju?) with an amazing ability to express contained interior feelings.
  
• THE (two) things that will keep in my mind: the last sequence, a perfect movie sequence (except maybe the music), with a last picture, perfectly framed and played by Chen Wen-Pin (the father). And the sequences viewed from underwater, where the father is looking at his daughter that is surveying at him from the boat.
  
• noticeable information: Chen Wen-Pin (the father) is also the producer and co-screenwriter of the movie, with Leon Dai, which is first an actor.
  
• Open question: Why the official English title of this Taiwanese film is a Spanish title?

There was a time when France was smart and friendly with China...
Here is a testimony of the french man who initially negotiated with the Chinese authorities the diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China (leaded by chairman Mao Ze Dong) by the Republic of France (leaded by president Charles de Gaulle), in 1963.

This man was Edgar Faure (富尔 in Chinese), former Prime Minister of France.

This is a chapter of his memoires. I found the original french version on the french version of the 人民日报(Le Quotidien du Peuple). This was translated with Google Translation, and rapidly checked. Sorry for any English mistake that may still exist.

Thanks to Aprilsnow to indirectly make me discover this text, while I was searching for the French name for 富尔.

MEMOIRES of Edgar Faure, the envoy of General de Gaulle

My first trip to China took place in 1957, in early June. It was a personal journey. I was invited by the Chinese government and I had to be one of the first Western statesmen, perhaps even the first one but I do not guaranteed, to cross the Chinese border, with a visa on a loose sheet, because there was no passports, due to the absence of diplomatic relations with China.
