Fragrance of the soil

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

One day,suddenly, I died and lay in a casket. People around me lamented,all share their tears. I can hear them and I can see the world far far clearer with my mind’s eye than when I was alive,however,I just lay there still and silently. Besides people’s crying and howling, there’s also funeral mucis drifted in the air which I enjoyed very much. My photo was hung in the middle of the room,my casket was surrounded by oceans of flowers, they deliver fragrant scent,perfect,I love it and draw a deep breath of the heavenly scent.

From now on,I say goodbye to my short sighted eyes,crystal clear mind’s eyes take place of them. I don’t need food or drink any more which always makes feel uncomfortable in my stomach for I always eat too much and drink without limit.My head sobered from mess on the minute I died,no more headaches,no more worry. The lines in “Desperate housewives” echos again and again in my mind,those lines are so true to a dead person as I am now:

Ah, But Underneath Yes, as I look back at the world I left behind, it’s all so clear to me. The beauty that waits to be unveiled, the mysteries that long to be uncovered. But, people so rarely stop to take a look. They just keep moving. It’s a shame, really. There’s so much to see.

Pretty Little Picture Yes I remember the world. Every detail. And what I remember most is how afraid I was, what a waste. You see, to live in fear is not to live at all. I wish I could tell this to those I left behind, but would it do any good? Probably not.

As a dead person,I feel an impulse to tell people who are still moving around in the world,to be slow down and easy minded,there are much more important things than what you are pursuing for.Don’t walk so far away that forget what you are going for.Why do you toil or even torment yourself for nothing?

Hmm, finally I am settled into the earth, it feels so good,the soil smells good.Will you get your nose close the earth and sniff the fragrance of it when you come by my grave?
Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glints on snow

Brutal and Bloody

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I’m a gril who seldom cries,however, my eyes whelmed with tears while going through the bloody pictures of Urumqi Roit. Though the roit has been passed for more than one month,my anger was ignited again when listening to the news yesterday.The brutal scenes makes my flesh crawl,give my heart great ache. I do not want to discuss the roit with politics,the one I wonder so much is how can human beings be so cruel to his brethrens .(To be frankly and to some degree,talking about politics seems so disgusting to me ! )

Do you have the heart to kill a little dog or cat? I even feel sorry for the dead mosquito in my hand.Let alone to treat human beings like dirt.Person in pictures were bleeding and my heart was bleeding as well. What are the killers hearts made from? Iron or stone? How can they be so cold-blooded? Where’s their humanity gone? Just a bunch of thugs! Shit! May my worst curse cause you great pain and bring disasters to you!

I wish similar things won’t happen in the future any more.Look back upon the Wenchuan Earthquake one year ago,so many people shared their heartfelt tears and offer help to the suffered rigion in various ways. It’s caused by nature,the natural world can be merciless sometime,BUT how can the Urumqi Roit happen? He who manipulated or cospired this event should go to the hell right in the next second!

Three Gorge Dam

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Today I read a news on internet, which is related to Three Gorge Dam. Three Gorge is famous travel destination to tourist acround the world. But the nowaday Three Gorge is big different from previous one because of Three Gorge Dam existing. Three Gorge Dam project can be ranked No.1 Dam project in the world, it cost a lot of money of Chinese. It is one of huge human activities, most of time, those human activities will bring the unexpected fatal harm to ecosystem on the earth, and the Three Gorge Dam is no exception.

As I remembered, there were many wonderful spectacles on the both sides of Changjiang river in Three Gorge area, such as ago-old village and town on the riverside. But everything disappeared when completing Three Gorge Dam project, because the water level is high up more than 100 meters. About the dispute of this project lasted for many years, but decision-makers had no far-sight, they refused reasonable advices and forced to start this large project. The ecosystem of Changjiang river have been damaged. Now, the environment of Three Gorge area is becoming worse and worse, the situation look like out of control.

Chongqing should belong to Three Gorge area, in past it’s climate was normal except for hot weather in the summer. But in these two years, Chongqing people always experienced severe flood and drought. What’s reason of this climate change? I think it is the result of Three Gorge Dam.

The National Grand Theater has been constructed nearby the Great Hall of People in Beijing, the Tian Anmen square is between on these two structures. The Theater’s shape likes as a egg. This structure has totally different style from the age-old structures in Beijing, which is more stranger and ultramodern. This is very very expensive project in China, one seat in Theater cost up to 600,000 RMB after assessed by an institute. That is to say, there is no chance to retake Theater’s cost in the future.

From my point of view, I opposed these two huge projects, it cost a lot of money from taxpayers like us. We are working hard everyday, and paying tax to government every month. But some governors always like to make wrong decision on the large-scale project. they don’t care the concerns from people across country. Sooner or later the people will lose their confidence to government if this situation will not be changed in the future.

Wipa Typhoon

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

This is old article:

Today, the typhoon is landing costal cities, it is named of Wipa, it is the most severe in a decade, wind speed is very high, it seems that the trees can be broken by this wind.
I watched news on TV, many costal villages or small cities have been flooded by downpour. Many peoples have been evacuated safe place

Most of people were staying in temporary refuge. I paid the big pity to these people, this should be unfortunate result from unbalance nature.

I also remembered the flood disaster in Chongqing this summer, many victims were suffering from flood which is the severest in record history, I even doubted this disaster is the serious result of that human destroyed the ecosystem in past several decade years. Unbalance ecosystem certainly will lead to make climate change on the earth, and more and more flood, drought, land solid, wet flow will take place frequently. Cutting forest, water pollution, reduction of the field, are typical activities to destroy the balance of nature. And the human will have to face more and more nature disasters in the future. How to protest global environment is becoming a big challenge to most of countries on the earth, especially for huge developing country like as China and India.

The Wipa typhoon is going to land shanghai city now, in urban area, the railway transportation will be shut down if wind speed is up to 9 level. Governors informed the citizens of security awareness through different channel such as TV, radio and short message of cell phone. It is better for urban people to reduce outdoor activities when typhoon is coming.

Go back home town on National Day

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

It is really exiting for me to go back hometown tomorrow, a beautiful county nearby Chengdu. I would like to thank for the modern transportation shorten the distance between my hometown and Shanghai city. At best 3 hours will be taken by plane, next afternoon I can arrive at my home and stay with my families.

I still remembered the great time at home last National Day, which is perfect holiday because of Mid-autumn festival also coming simultaneously, this is first time for me to go back home and have Mid-autumn day with families in a decade, it is wonderful time in fact. I have begun to dislike mooncake since I was children, which is too sweet for me, but I hope I can stay with families on Mid-autumn day which is traditional festival in China, the round shape of mooncake means the reunion of a family.

In fact, I prefer finding a job at hometown to working in shanghai, but I have to make more money for living. The air ticket is expensive for passengers in China, I have no choice to select by plane because of short vacation. I am eager to go back by bullet train running on high-speed railway. According to 11th five plan of Chinese government, a high-speed railway link will be accomplished between shanghai and Chengdu. If this is possible, I only need take 12 hours to go back home, the major advantage is train ticket is far cheaper than air ticket. It is my significant dream in the further five years.

First seeing my house

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

This national day, I eventually had a chance to see my house in Chengdu, which was bought by me in two years ago. I didn’t go to see my house although I already have got house key for more than one year. It might be unbelievable for other people, but for me it is a truth.

I bought this house before the price of real estate was soaring in Chengdu. At that time, the situation of real estate in Shanghai awaked me, I felt the real estate market would crazily rise sooner or later in Chengdu, after all which is economy development engine in Southwestern China.

No enough money is the major reason of that I hurried to buy house, because the speed of salary rising always far lags behind the speed of price rising of house. Deposit money in bank just bring out low added-vaule , in fact deposit will devaluate your money because of inflation. The fact proved my decision is correct, nowaday price of my house soared up at least 70% than two years ago. Who can increase his deposit up 70% base on 40W RMB in past two years? I think few persons can meet such thing.

I satisfied my layout of my house, it has one big drawing room, one sanctum, two living rooms, two toilets, the dining room also is enough for 10 persons to enjoy dinner at the same time. I never dreamed to buy a house like it in Shanghai. Just this buy already made me clean my pocket.

The environment of this community is very beautiful, which is suitable for people’s inhabitation. The security system of property management company should make people set their heart at rest.

I am happy when I have a own house, but I am also unhappy because I have to pay back to bank every month within a decade.

Good friend visiting me Last night

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Last night, my friend came to visit me. We ever have worked for the same company for many years, we are keeping good friendship since we well knew each other.

Due to long time no see, we took a long talking about respective life and work before going to sleep.

My friend bought a house in shanghai early this year, which also make his pocket clear. Now he is taking great effort to deposit more money for the decoration of new house by end of this year. His house is outside the Outer Ring Road of shanghai, which is at suburb and far from the downtown. At least one hour need be cost to take bus on the way to his office. It is really inconvenient for him. He certainly know this, but no choice because of the high price of house in urban area in shanghai, which is soaring up to 15000 RMB per square meter at average level. It is amazing price which can make poor people crazy.

This is shanghai, it is the heaven of rich people and the hell of poor people. Here, some people is becoming richer and richer, some people is suffering from the poverty. I actually dislike this city but I have to make more money here for living here.

Don’t easily trust those doctors.

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I am a frequenter of hospital because my health is no good, I have to often see the doctor. but my illness is not serious, such as stomach illness, cold.

Basically I have no confidence on those doctors’ medical competency, many experiences in hospital lead me not to trust them. Most of doctors always like to show apathy when they facing patience, it’s hard to find any sympathy from their face.

Many doctors are not good at finding root cause of patient’s illness, their strongpoint is on selling all kinds of expensive medicines to patients. Even some of them have no basic capability to deal with ordinary illness. They can receive rich brokerage from medicine-sale companies if they successfully recommend those expensive medicines to patients.

Most of doctors’ checking the patients’ ill totally rely on modern medical instruments. Even deal with ordinary cold, they always let patients to do physic check by modern instrument, the fee certainly is very expensive, which result in that many people will not go to hospital even if they have a cold or stomach illness. Buying some medicines form drugstore looks like more economical.

I often met this kind of doctor, when I sit on the front of them, I told them my stomach was no good, they would ask me: which kind of medicine will you like to have. If you have no answer, then they would recommend several kinds of expensive medicine, you have to pay more money to buy these medicines if you have own idea. Generally I am able to distinguish which is my need, which is not, I always refuse expensive ones and select effective and economical ones.
We need be clear about a common awareness: the doctors in modern hospital are completely different from traditional doctors, we should have some basic judgement, don’t trust them easily.

My birthday today?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Tomorrow is my birthday, really? I felt a bit surprise when my GF told me this by phone call yesterday night. Obviously I really forgot which day should be my birthday. Different from most of people, I always don’t like to celebrate my birthday with other persons. Perhaps I have been living in other city far from my hometown, it was difficult for me to find a chance to celebrate birthday with my families, this case maybe make me easily forget it.

I still remembered something about my birthday in my childhood, generally my mum cooked two eggs and the delicious food for me on my birthday, actually so-called delicious food always was fired pork which is no any attraction to children nowadays. But at the time of planned economy, it’s actually the delicious food, most of people could not eat pork once in a year. People lived in poverty society environment, they had no way to make themselves eat full each day, rather that pork.

My families could remember my birthday, they always called me on this day. Nowadays, my GF also cares my birthday, she is becoming a alarm clock of my birthday. Even though she and I are living in different city, we cannot celebrate birthday together, but the phone call is enough for me.
