shagoogooмарта 19 Civilised CityMy city has been endeavouring for the title of 'Civilised City'. It may be interesting to see how municipal officers fought for such a title. Afterwords: The city won the title but things got back to where it used to be immediately. Long way to civilisation. (Written right after the scandal of milk tainted with melamine.) Rampant Licence PlatesIt's not surprising to see limousines with military licence plate everywhere. Let alone their drivers' rudeness and condescendence, both when driving and in person, people can't help wondering why our military can afford such expensive privilege vehicles.
There may be several explanations for such a phenomenon. Explanation One: all those expensive, flashy wagons really belong to the military. Wait! What's the use of extravagant limousines in the military, or to be exact, in war? What about for high ranked officials in the military? But who deserves them costing half a million yuan or even more while most of the soldiers are lectured to come over the hash living conditions with strong willpower? Even if it's plausible that some of them deserve this luxury, yet the amount of such vehicles is, in some sense, appalling. Are there really that many high ranked officials? As is known that there are strict regulations on number and price of the military vehicles, such a fact can only prove that the regulations remain merely on paper.
The first explanation seems flimsy. What about this one: they belong to bosses doing big business. Possible and plausible. But why can they use military licence plates? Such licence plates have become commodities? Anyone who can afford the price can have one? If yes, isn't it forbidden to allow anyone outside the army to use military licence plate? (And if yes, tell me how much one costs and how to purchase one.)
This last one: the licence plates are counterfeit. As mentioned above, the number of vehicles with military licence plates is appallingly big. Fake licence plates are believed to outnumber real ones by times, not exaggeration at all. Why can't the supervising authority do anything?
All the words above are clichés, but the problem is that although everyone knows the root cause and is positive that such a situation is ridiculously wrong, no one can do anything to ameliorate it or no one wants to, even if they can. января 16 On Guangzhou MetroSome Advice for Guangzhou Metro Being one of the millions of passagers in this city, taking the metro between workplace and home almost every day, I believe I can have a say on how the metro can operate. Here is my advice: 1. According to the official calculation, when the number of cartridges is half of the designed one, there will be a double train schedule, which means within a time unit, there can be two times of trains running on the rail. My suggestion is, reduce the number of cartridges to half of half of the designed one so that more trains can run faster and every 10 seconds, there will be a one arriving at the platform. 2.In order to achieve space efficiency inside the cartridges, benches and handrails should be removed. According to observation, the space occupied by one bench can actually hold 5-6 persons. On the other hand, one handrail, which prove to be totally unnecessary in such a crowded cartridge that no one inside is possible to fall over, can take around the space for one person. By doing so, more space can be set free to contain far more people than present.
Guangzhou Metro, take my advice and I bet you can earn far more money than at present. января 08 Bonne chance M. Chen!Monsieur Chen Yang, un présentateur connu, a été viré à cause de l'oppression du Gouvernement. De parler pour les peuples est l'avis de M. Chen. Mais ce n'est pas une bonne idée à propos du Gouvernement qui accentue l'harmonie irréelle et qui réprime des discours libres. C'est tragique dans une société qui est toujours parlée d'être à les peuples mais ce n'est pas rare dans une sans démocratie. M. Chen, bonne chance bien que vous ne puissez lire ce passage. октября 04 I am Waspman!Within one year, I have been stung twice by wasps.
This afternoon, I was being diligent washing the tent and the matt. After finishing the matt, I washed a long bamboo which had not been in use for long. I was surprised to see a whole on the bamboo. Thinking the hole was made by my father, I paid no heed to it. When I was about to hang the matt up, I stroked the bamboo to put it over between the roof and a beam. An electric shot infiltrated my ring finger, making me drop everything in my hand. I found the finger was stung with a tiny red spot and when I shifted my eye to the bamboo, a black insect was swaying its tail, seemingly protesting at me in the bamboo hole.
To be honest, I have already become an experienced 'stingee'. I know how to deal with such a situation. But this time, I was outranged. I rushed to the market for pesticide and took revenge on the assasin. Afterwards, the finger and the hand swelt so much so that I had to go to hospital.
(After careless checking, the doctor prescribed an expensive injection and bondage. The nurses said I came across a 'good' doctor- doubtless, a good one at cheating money.)
According to Hollywood Movie Theory, I will become Waspman shortly. But before I become an insect hero, I wish my ring finger and the back of my left hand would deflate soon. Otherwise, I could not use them dextrously to fight against the evil. мая 03 Being WiseWisest is she who knows she does not know.
Hopefully, I could be such a he.
Looking back into the years I have spent in learning English, I only find that my English is, to be honest and unfortunately enough, rather poor. However, I used to think that I outstood the others.
Comparison makes no sense, and most importantly, non-sense comparison even less.
Perhaps I cannot be that wise. Anyway I will try.
апреля 17 An Activity in ChildhoodOne Saturday afternoon, when I was at elementary school, as pupils did not have classes then, we just ran wild on the street where our school was located. Right opposite to our school gate was a wooden door which could not appear to be more common. But we never saw anyone come in or go out of that door, as it was always closed and we noticed that the door led to no house at all, and seemingly it was standing all alone. Then, no one had the idea about who did the bravest thing that afternoon to open the door, which proved to be quite a mysterious one. We kids, standing right in front of the opened door, were amazed to see a staircase connecting it to an obscure bottom downward. All of us were so curious about what would lie there underground. When we were wondering, some other kids came with torches and candles and they lit them calmly and each one hold one in their hands. We set off to explore this enigmatic cave! As we descended along the staircase, the summer heat outside was prevented. Droplets fell from above our heads, and short sleeved T-shirts were far from enough for the coolness all around. We started to trembled a little, not only for the chillness but also for the world totally unknown. Soon we landed and saw a long passage before us in the wavy candle light. We touched the walls, which were roughly cemented and we found the floor muddy and wet, but no signs or frescos we imagined. Along the passage, there were several turnings as made us believe that this was really a labyrinth. As we proceeded, those with torch and candle chose different turnings. Having nothing in hand, I just followed my schoolmate who I knew little about. A group of us walked on in the dim light of the candle, we saw nothing more than passages, and heard nothing more than our footsteps on the muddy ground and water dripping from the ceiling. All of a sudden, some naughty boy cried out ghost. Though all of us knew it was merely a trick, yet it provided us a reason to leave the place. With almost all our clothes and shoes soaked, we only felt the way out since the candle holder gathered imaginable energy to run faster than ever. The frequency of our feet accelerated till we saw the exit, which was exactly the entrance, and became relieved. Later, teachers came and searched for anyone who was supposed to be left in the cave. When we attended school the following Monday, those who went for this adventure were punished. Me? I escaped. Perhaps no one recognised me, for I was famous for my cowardice when I was a kid. Afterwards, we got to know that it was an air raid shelter built in the 1960s or 1970s. The network actually covered most of the area to the south of the Pearl River on the city. As time goes by, such a huge shelter is gradually forgotten by people and destructed with reconstruction of the city. Air raid shelters nowadays are actually underground shopping malls. As a result I always doubt if they could shelter us from real air raids. I attended this adventure over 15 years ago. But I still remember the incomparable tranquillity I found in the shelter. I would go back to it if I could. |
