My First Performance, Auld Lang Syne

2010-04-13T23:38:00.000-07:00

Waterloo Bridge

My father told me, I was dancing at the Eastern Sea University music hall to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. That I can't remember. So I guess it was with my aunt for her graduation ceremony. It has a beautiful Chinese translation, Soul Lost in the Blue Bridge. This is from the Chuang Tze's love story about a man Wei Sheng, who refused to leave the site where a vow was made, a flood came to wash him away, and yet he was holding the post to wait for his love. The movie began from Air Raid on Waterloo Bridge. The British film and manners has been imprinted on many Chinese military such as my own father. My aunt majored in foreign languages, and her studies included Shakespeare, and Mansfield. She also studied piano in Nanjing as a little girl. She was in the university's chorus. So my sister and I possibly went on dancing to bid farewell for my aunt's graduation party to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne." This is a Scottish folksong which was recompiled by Robert Burns and made popular to the world. A very good sentiment. We Chinese love this humanity from the English world, as we most still live under the shadow and scar of the Opium War. Thanks for the artists of the English speaking world, which show that other than war, there is humanity.

老影片的感情魂斷藍橋與我

父親說﹕ 妳不記得小時後在東海大學的禮堂﹐表演過“魂斷藍橋”舞蹈。。但是﹐我﹐沒有這個印象。我幼年時﹐阿姨在讀大學。阿姨是讀東海大學的外文系﹐她的書籍有莎士比亞﹐曼殊菲爾等。她也自小受過鋼琴訓練。在大學的合唱團表演﹐因此﹐我想﹐是牽著她的裙子﹐到過許多地方﹐三歲時﹐因此不記得了。依稀有大深紅色調的天鵝絨幕帘。一群小朋友們出場﹐繞著場走一圈。女主角費雯麗Vivien Leigh, 表達出英國女性的端莊風趣。她比"飄﹐Gone with the Wind" 更愛此角色。難怪﹐因為畢竟是表達自己英國人的個性﹐而”飄“﹐是表達美國南方人的心理感觸﹐難免疏離感﹐而蘇格蘭的民謠﹐Auld Lang Syne, 被Robert Burns 改編﹐讓世界都能感受到﹐一首民族歌謠的淵源流長。國與國之間﹐除了鴉片戰爭﹐還是有這麼多美好的生活方式。

Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President

奧巴馬的就職演說, 有兩點適用於中國

喝彩! 新科上任的美國總統就職典禮圓滿成功!

蓋的芝加哥小同鄉, 奧巴馬仁兄的就職演說, 有兩點適用於中國：

那些靠腐敗,欺騙和消聲異議者的緊緊抓著權力的人, 必需明白你站在歷史的錯誤一邊, 但是我們將伸出援手, 如果你願意放鬆你的拳頭.

針對全世界法西斯主義(包括了日本軍國主義) 和共產主義:

回顧前幾代人面臨法西斯主義和共產主義時, 不只是用導彈和坦克，而是堅固的聯盟和持久的信念。

他們認識到，我們的力量不能保護我們，也沒有資格為所欲為. 相反，他們知道當我們謹慎的運用行使權力時, 我們的力量更壯大; 我們的安全源出自於我們的正義起因, 有作為的實例, 以及鍛煉素質的謙卑和克制.

President Obama Inaugural Speech and Implication Toward PRC

Obama did say a couple of things that could apply to China:

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. "

"Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint. "

He also said:

"With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet."

"America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity"

Text of Barack Obama's inaugural address, 44th U.S. President

January 20, 2009

My fellow citizens:

I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.

Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.

So it has been. So it must be with this generation of Americans.

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far- reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our healthcare is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land -- a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.

Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America -- they will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.

In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of shortcuts or settling for less. It has not been the path for the faint-hearted -- for those who prefer leisure over work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame. Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things -- some celebrated, but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. For us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life.

For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth.

For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sahn. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. This is the journey we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth. Our workers are no less productive than when this crisis began. Our minds are no less inventive, our goods and services no less needed than they were last week or last month or last year. Our capacity remains undiminished. But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely passed. Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America. For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act -- not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology's wonders to raise healthcare's quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do. Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitions -- who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short. For they have forgotten what this country has already done; what free men and women can achieve when imagination is joined to common purpose, and necessity to courage.

What the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them -- that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply. The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works -- whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no, programs will end. And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day -- because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.

Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched, but this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control -- and that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart -- not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good. As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. And so to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more.

Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism not just with missiles and tanks, but with sturdy alliances and enduring convictions. They understood that our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please. Instead, they knew that our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint. We are the keepers of this legacy. Guided by these principles once more, we can meet those new threats that demand even greater effort -- even greater cooperation and understanding between nations. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan. With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you. For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus -- and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West -- know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world's resources without regard to effect. For the world has changed, and we must change with it.

As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment -- a moment that will define a generation -- it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.

For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies. It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job, which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate. Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our success depends -- hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism -- these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths. What is required of us now is a new era of responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every American, that we have duties to ourselves, our nation, and the world, duties that we do not grudgingly accept but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so satisfying to the spirit, so defining of our character, than giving our all to a difficult task. This is the price and the promise of citizenship. This is the source of our confidence -- the knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny.

This is the meaning of our liberty and our creed -- why men and women and children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this magnificent mall, and why a man whose father less than 60 years ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you to take a most sacred oath. So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow was stained with blood. At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation ordered these words be read to the people: "Let it be told to the future world ... that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive ... that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet [it]."

America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back, nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations.

Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.

蘇軾只恐夜深花睡去...

海棠

東風裊裊泛崇光，

香霧空蒙月轉廊。

只恐夜深花睡去，

故燒高燭照紅妝。

姐妹間容易發生嫉妒, 當審美觀也不同時. 有一些月曆女郎美麗動人, 大嘴巴也塗的滿滿的, 幼時外婆告訴我, 你的櫻桃小嘴最好看, 不用羨慕別人的意思, 姐姐悻倖然, 不悅, 不服氣.

少女時在香港, 看選美會, 一個菲律賓女孩子, 五官非常對稱, 外婆說, 咦, 很像你, 可是, 姐姐又說, 你哪有那麼美.

聖誕節姐收到我的卡片, 附上有我在中國旅遊的照片, 電話中她感嘆, '老了. 以前的你眼睛又圓又大..眼下也起了眼袋..'

我說, 對呀. 三舅母說我的眼睛像龍眼, 又圓又黑亮, 姐糾正我的台語發音. 龍艮

我不在意, 姐姐對我的感情關注很深, 這是一種感嘆, 可惜年華不饒人.

當年東海大學的校花是我的中文導師, 有班上的美人去她家探望產後的玫瑰皇后, 她們問老師, 老師認為誰最美? 居然, 此美女校花說是本人, 我說, 不可能.

其實我想, 不無道理, 本人當年不食人間煙火的模樣, 可能被別人當成氣質崇高.

在美國自由自在慣了, 已經早忘了煙雨朦朧的美麗眼眸.

East wind curl upward willowy sublime light Fragrant mist in the moonlight round the veranda Fear for the night is deep and flowers go to sleep I burn the tall candle to shine on the red her Written by Soong Dynasty poet Su Dongpo Sisters It is easy to have jealousy among sisters, especially when having different esthetic views. In our childhood, some calendar girls very attractive, with a full sensual mouth. Leaning next to grandmother, she said, “Your cherry lips are the best. No need to be envious of others.” My sister felt not so on her ugly duckling sister’s look.
In our maiden time in Hong Kong for summer vacation, in a beauty contest, a Philippine girl looking quite western contours, and sensually attractive, my grandmother said, “Look. She looks quite like you.” But my sister later said, “You inflated your own self.”
This Christmas my sister received my card with attachment photo of my traveling in China. She sighed in the phone: “getting old. You used to have such large and eyes so round like longan. Also, you have some pockets under the eyes.” I replied: that is right. Third uncle’s wife said my eyes look like Taiwan round and dark lustre longan.
I didn’t mind. My sister is very attentive and cares for me. This is only an aging process. We used to have the Eastern Sea University class flower beauty queen as our Chinese instructor. Some classmates went to visit her after she delivered her baby. They asked the teacher, who is the most beautiful girl in her class? They told me later that this beauty queen instructor thought that I was the most beautiful girl. I didn’t think that was real comment.

But now, I think she must truly have meant it, because I was quite different then, and very uninterested in the mundane worldly affairs. Now with the free style of living in the U.S., I have long forgotten the misty rain beauty vision of my own look. Shu Dongpo’s poem: Only afraid that night is deepened and the flowers go to sleep.

You give me hope and consolation

You give me strength to carry on

And you're always there to lend a hand

In everything I do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter

You touch my hand and I'm a king

Your kiss to me is worth a fortune

Your love for me is everything

I'll guess I'll never know the reason why

You love me like you do

That's the wonder

The wonder of you

Admiral Nimitz 五星海軍上將倪米茲

2008-01-22T22:39:00.000-08:00

As a young person, I used to walk inside the redwood forest all day, and by evening, finally out of the woods and into open buena vista! Stinson Beach.

Or simply into Tilden park, starting in the afternoon in plain air without redwood awning, and on the hiking trail. Sometimes, you see bikers in the hot sun, toiling but with an air of athlete.

Very mute in Muir Woods.

Contemplate the great human track.

I never knew that Nimitz was so nearby.

Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz, USN, GCB (February 24, 1885 – February 20, 1966) was the Commander-in-Chief of Pacific Naval Forces ("C-in-C Pac" pronounced "sink-pack") for the United States and Allied forces during World War II. He was the United States' leading authority on submarines, as well as Chief of the Navy's Bureau of Navigation in 1939. He was his country's last surviving Fleet Admiral.

ミッドウェー海戦

The Battle of Midway was a naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It took place from June 4, 1942 to June 7, 1942

The battle was a decisive victory for the Americans, widely regarded as the most important naval engagement of the Pacific Campaign of World War II.[2] The battle permanently weakened the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), particularly through the loss of over 200 naval aviators.[3] Both nations sustained losses in the battle, but Japan, industrially outstripped by America, was unable to reconstitute its naval forces while the American shipbuilding program provided quick replacements.

Strategic context

Yamamoto's primary strategic concern was the elimination of America's remaining carrier forces. This concern was acutely heightened by the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo (April 18, 1942) by USAAF B-25s, launching from USS Hornet. The raid, while militarily insignificant, was a severe psychological shock to the Japanese and proved the existence of a gap in the defenses around the Japanese home islands.[9] Sinking America's aircraft carriers and seizing Midway, the only strategic island besides Hawaii in the East Pacific, was seen as the only means of nullifying this threat. Yamamoto reasoned an operation against the main carrier base at Pearl Harbor would induce the U.S. forces to fight. However, given the strength of American land-based airpower on Hawaii, he judged the powerful American base could not be attacked directly.[10] Instead, he selected Midway, at the extreme northwest end of the Hawaiian Island chain, some 1,300 miles (2,100 km) from Oahu. Midway was not especially important in the larger scheme of Japan's intentions; however, the Japanese felt the Americans would consider Midway a vital outpost of Pearl Harbor and would therefore strongly defend it.[11] The U.S. did consider Midway vital; after the battle, establishment of a U.S. submarine base on Midway extended submarine range 2,400 miles (4,400 km). An airstrip on Midway served as a forward staging point for bomber attacks on Wake Island.[12]

American and British code-breakingAdmiral Nimitz had one priceless asset:

American and British [1] cryptanalysts had broken the JN-25 code. Commander Joseph J. Rochefort and his team at HYPO were able to confirm Midway as the target of the impending Japanese strike, to determine the date of the attack as either 4 or 5 June (as opposed to mid-June, maintained by Washington), and to provide Nimitz with a complete IJN order of battle. Japan's efforts to introduce a new codebook had been delayed, giving HYPO several crucial days; while it was blacked out shortly before the attack began, the important breaks had already been made.[26]As a result, the Americans entered the battle with a very good picture of where, when, and in what strength the Japanese would appear. Nimitz was aware, for example, the vast numerical superiority of the Japanese fleet had been divided into no less than four task forces, and the escort for the main Carrier Striking Force was limited to just a few fast ships. For this reason, they knew the anti-aircraft guns protecting the carriers would be limited. Knowing the strength he faced, Nimitz calculated his three carrier decks, plus Midway, to Yamamoto's four, gave the U.S. rough parity. (It is also true American carrier air groups were larger than Japanese ones.) The Japanese, by contrast, remained almost totally in the dark about their opponents even after the battle began.[27]

On December 15, 1947, he retired from office of Chief of Naval Operations. However, since the rank of Fleet Admiral is a lifetime appointment, he remained on active duty for the rest of his life, with full pay and benefits. He and his wife Catherine moved to Berkeley, California. After he suffered a serious fall in 1964, he and Catherine moved to US Naval quarters on Yerba Buena Island in the San Francisco Bay.

Nimitz served as a regent of the University of California from 1948-1956, where he had formerly been a faculty member as a professor of Naval Science for the NROTC program. Nimitz was honored on 17 October 1964, by the University of California on Nimitz Day.Nimitz suffered a stroke, complicated by pneumonia, in late 1965. In January 1966 he left the U.S. Naval Hospital (Oak Knoll) in Oakland to return home to his naval quarters. He died the evening of 20 February 1966. The place of death is Quarters One on Yerba Buena Island in San Francisco Bay. He was buried at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, California on 1966-02-24.

Il cielo in una stanza, 斗室內的天堂, Heaven in a room

http://www.lyricsandsongs.com/song/575197.html IL CIELO IN UNA STANZA (1960) Italian

Quando sei qui con me

questa stanza non ha più pareti

ma alberi,

alberi infiniti

quando sei qui vicino a me

questo soffitto viola

no, non esiste più.

Io vedo il cielo sopra noi

che restiamo qui

abbandonati

come se non ci fosse più

niente, più niente al mondo.

Suona un'armonica

mi sembra un organo

che vibra per te e per me

su nell'immensità del cielo.

Per te, per me:

nel cielo Mina

The sky in a room (1962) Heaven in a room When you are here with me

This room no longer has walls

But trees,

Infinite trees

When you are here beside me

This violates ceiling

No, no longer exists.

I see the sky above us

That we remain here

Abandoned

As if there were more

Nothing, nothing more to world.

Sounds harmonious

I think a body

That vibrates for you and me

Over onto the sky.

For you, for me:

In the sky 斗室內的天堂當你與我一起這房間不再有牆只有樹無垠的樹林當你靠近我 ... 不, 不再存在我見到天空在我們頭上我們在此歇息被遺忘好似都不存在完全. 世上聽似和諧地那個形體如此搏動為了你和我在天地間無限的為了你, 和我在天空裡 She carries the Italian renaissance character and opera style in expression her sentiment. Il cielo in una stanza Mina's version of "Il cielo in una stanza", a song written by Gino Paoli, was the first of many of Mina's metamorphoses, transforming her from a rock'n'roll shrieker to a muse of cantautori.[18] This introduced the singer to a much more refined genre, that she thereafter never left.[19] Topping the list of annual sales in Italy[20] and reaching 1961 US Billboard Hot 100, her unsurpassed interpretation turned the song into a classic of Italian pop music.[21] Mina Background information Birth name Mina Anna Mazzini Born March 25, 1940,Busto Arsizio, Lombardy. Origin Lugano Genre(s) pop, white soul, blues, jazz, rock'n'roll, bossa nova, nuevo tango Occupation(s) Singer Voice type(s) Mezzosoprano Years active 1958 - Label(s) Italdisc, Ri-Fi, EMI, PDU Website minamazzini.com In 1960 the young singer turned to the ballad with "Il cielo in una stanza" topping the Italian singles chart of the year and reaching the Billboard Hot 100. From that on, Mina gradually moved to a more refined adult genre. She became a star attraction of popular Italian television variety shows and to dominate the Italian charts with songs from the nation's leading songwriters.[1]

Brothers Santo & Johnny Farina were born in Brooklyn, New York of Italian origin. In 1958 Mike Dee & The Mello Tones (Santo Farina, steel guitar; Johnny Farina, guitar and their uncle Mike Dee, drums) recorded a self-penned instrumental which they called "Deep Sleep". Loosely inspired by the song "Softly, As In The Morning Sunrise (Sigmund Romberg 1929), it had the same chord progression but a much simpler melody line. "Deep Sleep" became "Sleep Walk" and in August 1959 it topped the American charts. "Sleep Walk" continues to be one of the most popular and easily recognised instrumentals of all time. (more)

In Honor of My Father, a soldier from the real Yellow River, who could not return to his homeland because of Communists and American Policy

Yellow River

So long boy you can take my place got my papers I've got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won Fill my glass high the time has come

I'm going back to the place that I love yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes

Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love Got no time for explanation got no time to lose

Tomorrow night you'll find me Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

Cannon fire lingers in my mind I'm so glad that I'm still alive And I've been gone for such a long time from yellow river

I remember the nights were cool I can still see the water pool And I remember the girl that I knew from yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love

她走過了美國場代表美國的價值與美麗由於如詹森夫人這樣的風格的大自然純朴美的女性, 我不應後悔來到美國.

Such as Lady Johnson with a pure love toward the nature and the environment I shall never regret to live here in her homeland An humanistic expressionist for the soil and wild Open her unconstrained wings Born such is the love Not Separated from a universal warmth In possession of special vision We reminisce about her Just like a wild flower in the empty valley Fragrant and unpretentious on its own, though unbeknowst to the world The little window passing the moon

I Go To Pieces

My Young Electric Guitar Idols, Peter and Gordon

青年的偶像

電子風琴與吉他

青年的夢, 夢碎後, 仍然美麗的顫抖.

絲竹之奏

絲竹是內心深處的轉承, 輕微地敲打, 飛翔久的靈魂

Electric guitar with organ chords to portray a younger note to the dream.

Though it is broken to pieces, it still holds a tone of ringing the fine love. Silk string and Bamboo pipe projects a persona to the heart chord.

That is attenuated in gentle beats.

I Go To Pieces

When I see her comin' down the street

I get so shaky and I feel so weak

I tell my eyes look the other way

But they don't seem to hear a word I say

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide

Go to pieces and I almost die

Everytime my baby passes by

I tell my arms they'll hold someone new

Another love that will be true

But they don't listen, they don't seem to care

They reach for her but she's not there

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide

Go to pieces and I almost die

Everytime my baby passes by

I remember what she said when she said

"Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"

"But until we do, all my best to you"

I'm so lonely, I think about her only

I go to places we used to go

But I know she'll never show

She hurt me so much inside

Now I hope she's satisfied

And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide

Go to pieces and I almost die

Everytime my baby passes by

Go to pieces and I cry

Everytime my baby passes by

Go to pieces and I cry

A World Without Love, by Peter and Gordon

* * *

Peter And Gordon

Peter Asher, Jane Asher's brother, and Gordon Waller joined together in 1962 and performed under the name of Peter And Gordon.

In 1964, they covered an early composition written by Paul McCartney called A World Without Love, which reached #1 in the US and UK charts.

They performed this song live at the TV special The Music Of Lennon And McCartney, which was broadcasted in December 1965.

Paul wrote two other songs in 1964 which were custom built for the duo, Nobody I Know and I Don't Want To See You Again.

Woman, another song written by Paul under the pseudonym of Bernard Webb, was given to the duo in 1966.

After the split of Peter And Gordon in 1967, Peter Asher got nominated to the post of artistic director at Apple Corporation.

He also became producer and manager of Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor.

Please lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside where I hide

With my loneliness

I don't care what they say I won't stay

In a world without love

Birds sing out of tune

And rain clouds hide the moon

I'm OK, here I'll stay

With my loneliness

I don't care what they say I won't stay

In a world without love

So I wait and in a while

I will see my true love's smile

She may come, I know not when

When she does I lose

So baby until then

Lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside where I hide

With my loneliness

I don't care what they say

I won't stayIn a world without love

------ organguitar ------

So I wait and in a while

I will see my true love's smile

She may come, I know not when

When she does I lose

So baby until then

Lock me away

And don't allow the day

Here inside where I hide

With my loneliness

I don't care what they say I won't stay

In a world without love

I don't care what they say I won't stay

In a world without love

ROC and the English Influence, Don't Dream It's Over

2007-06-29T19:05:00.001-07:00

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

Don't ever let them win

Tony Blair is gone finally. The era of Churchill still not resolved. Don't dream it's over. Who is left to unwind the mistakes, the pact with the communists that left us behind? We are to trudge on, listening to the Australian group Crowded House’s protest in Surrealism. ‘The Wall Between Us”, the heroes of Nationalist Fifth Army, responsible to fight for the British in Burma (1943), fought in the 1937 Shanghai righteous resistance battle, but were annihilated in 1949 at the HuaiHai Battle by the communists who Churchill could not wait to recognize in no time. Can we say we owe them justice? The Wall is Between Us They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win Then the Wall was collapsed by Reagan, calling to Tear Down that Wall. Now, the Wall of Lies will have to come down! When Grandpa was still in charge, all was pro-American and joint venture to the land of the wanderlust America. That’s the hope for the future. Wearing the mini-skirt, to show you have long slender legs, and how hip it is. The American way. Speaking the number one English correct in the class. In expensive restaurant, class A presidential Hotel, one woman blasts the Dusty Springfield song, “You don’t have to say you love me”, with her silky hair so cool to pour down like waterfall. American GIs are buying the bootleg records from the commercial streets, large avenues filled with Which Way You’re going, American Billy Boys, in the peak of Vietnam War. Another summer sweating, one more persecution from mainland China. Young uncle is the first electric guitar performer in Taipei gymnastics, and he is likely to jump to the front in a high class hotel on stage to performer. So the singer went dead, unnecessarily at age 59, from curable breast cancer. Don't Dream It's Over (written by Neil Finn, performed by Crowded House)

Lyrics: There is freedom within

there is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead

many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

[Chorus:]Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car

there's a hole in the roof

my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof

in the paper today

tales of war and of waste

but you turn right over to the T.V. page

[Chorus:]Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again

to the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead

barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

[Chorus:]Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

Don't let them win

Hey now, Hey now

Don't let them win

They come, They come

Don't let them win

Hey now, Hey now (yeah)

Hey now, Hey now

Al Gore speaking at the HYSTA 2007 Annual Conference, Santa Clara, CA, May 2, 2007

America Has Hope, and China Has Hope Too It is always good to listen to Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” presentation in person, after he won the Oscar Award for this documentary in 2007. Al Gore has a mind that is taking in all history with justice. He said, from this dot in the galaxy, America declared the independence, emancipation of slaves, woman’s suffrage, and fought two fascists, (meaning Germany and Japan). In George W. Bush’s speeches, many times, he omits to mention the fascist crimes that Japan committed against Chinese people. In premier Wen Jiabao’s visit, he deemphasizes Japan’s fascist history too. All this will not command Japanese’s respect; instead, it encourages the thief to deny. We love America to be led by a just mind person, Go on America Value, I’m very proud of your Mind!

打草必驚蛇﹐基於最近頻發事件﹐做一申述。如果中華民國被作掉﹐現在不論與誰私底下進行勾結﹐任何和諧口號將無意義﹐失去民心﹐僅流于口頭禪﹐永遠不會和諧。去掉蔣塑像﹐不再崇拜過去的人物﹐毛澤東不也一樣得遭人民請走﹐獲得平反﹐一個中國老百姓說﹕有補償才有平反。從此深綠的吳大使可以天天在華府智囊演說﹐他說過為何大陸不能進行普選﹐那個過渡期是何物﹖要求民主制立即得迫切實行在大陸﹐一黨專制將獲新台灣國攻擊﹐不再會給中國人的情面﹐因為他們是台灣人獨立在台灣島﹐中華人民共和國17大面臨著解體﹐包括了世運﹐胡錦濤必需改國制讓人民普選所有中央官員﹐這個要求很快會來到﹐必需要加速作準備工作﹐吳僅提前時間表讓民主來到中國﹐改動共產大體制而已。要求中華民國改憲法﹐疆域改變﹐為和諧付出﹐同樣我們也可要求改中華人民國和國為中國﹐旗子換下﹐才能和為貴﹐不能仍有‘解放軍’﹐‘解放報紙’了﹐解放誰來者﹖外交官說還在內戰時期﹐那如何和諧﹖新獨立國成立萬事皆休矣﹗ 一個中國﹐一個台灣﹐沒有中華民國﹐改定憲法限定疆土是台灣﹐再正名為台灣國﹐共黨也面臨著瓦解崩潰政治局的體系﹐台灣國的中央不會聽中共政治局。中華民國還在世界各地隨時可復興﹐只等待好的美國領導人。中共與美虎謀皮的下場﹐不要在被算計過後﹐才悔不當初﹐對不起老祖宗﹐並不是僅對不起中華民國﹐江澤民及胡溫都是皆生于中華民國的子民﹐也該永遠記得‘三月亡華’卻未亡我中華民族﹐誰付出了代價。

The Passing Love Grandfather and mother treated me as a Nationalist princess. I was above all the girls in terms of beauty, kindness, the intelligence to perhaps to find out what happened to them, the unequal wonder that once existed. Young princess, what do you know? The world is too young to comprehend that age old wisdom. That one day, I recall I was too young to find out those passing their huge love. Too Young They try to tell us we're too young

Too young to really be in love

They say that love's a word

A word we've only heard

But can't begin to know the meaning of

And yet we're not too young to know

This love will last though years may go

And then some day they may recall

We were not too young at all

And yet we're not too young to know

This love will last though years may go

And then some day they may recall

We were not too young at all

Edmond Halley (1656 – 1742)

2007-03-09T12:11:00.000-08:00

Edmond Halley (1656 – 1742)

He spent most of his time on lunar observations, but was also interested in the problems of gravity. One problem that attracted his attention was the proof of Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

Kepler's First Law

The first law says: "The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci." The mathematics of the ellipse is as follows. The equation is where (r,θ) are heliocentric polar coordinates for the planet, p is the semi latus rectum, and ε is the eccentricity, which is less than one.

My hometown monk in Tang Dynasty already discovered planetary motion, nearly a thousand years before Halley. He is the real world class scientific giant.

Red Plum Flowers in the Snow

So I see red plum flowers in the snow, as described in

the Dream of the Red Chamber, they are so gorgeous

超群絕倫的美

The exquisite beauty!

梅花三弄﹗ 是一首最古老的古琴曲

Plum Flower Three Arrangement

is the most ancient Chinese harp melody

嵇康創作的《長清》、《短清》、《長側》、《短側》四首琴曲，被稱為“嵇氏四弄”，与蔡邕創作的“蔡氏五弄”合稱“九弄”，是我國古代一組著名琴曲。隋煬帝曾把彈奏《九弄》作為取士的條件之一，足見其影響之大、成就之高。

面對司馬氏的黑暗統治，嵇康是憤然不平。為表示反抗，他經常逃入山林，与竹林七賢相与邀游。袁顏伯《竹林七賢傳》云：“嵇叔夜嘗采藥山澤，遇之于山，冬以被發自覆，夏則編草為裳，彈一弦琴，而五聲和。”

正因嵇康這种憤世嫉俗的表現，使他在音樂創作与演奏上才取得了引人注目的成就。嵇康所彈奏的《廣陵散》是這一古代名曲經嵇康加工而成的一首曲子，在長期的流傳過程中，正象一首民歌一樣，凝聚著歷代傳頌者的心血。

The green extremist view is: 400 missiles are too little for the deep hatred between Taiwanese and Chinese mainlanders in Taiwan. 800 missiles are not enough to satisfy the deep hatred by the DPP. The ROC view: The TRA fine, this arms sale does not violate the TRA or any agreements. However, the amount is not fine, it is too many missiles for little Taiwan. 100 missiles should be good enough to deter any invasion is the ROC view. The point of TRA is to allow arms sales to Taiwan. Between ROC and USA, there is this pact of American assistance Taiwan to defend itself against any invaders. However, they don’t need so many of them. So America should just sell 100 missiles to Taiwan, and hopefully this is enough to demonstrate that Taiwan can not be invaded by anyone. As far as the Extremists Green hate ideology toward Chinese, they think there are too few missiles, with such deep hatred, one wonders if 800 would be sufficient in firing toward China. Solution: In order to achieve the status quo, everyone has to give. America does not need to sell Taiwan so many missiles, China must recognize Taiwan’s right to exist within the TRA framework, in addition to the three communiqués with China and the one China policy. 400 missiles is too many, 100 should be good enough. China wishes it was 0, but as long as China’s foreign ministry spokesman still claims that “the civil war is unfinished in Taiwan”, so you can’t blame Taiwan for wanting to have missiles to defend themselves. Everyone has a right to defend themselves. 2007.03.03 中國要求美取消售台導彈美稱合法加以拒絕美國決定向台灣出售四百多枚導彈，引發中國抗議，要求美方立即取消軍售計畫。美國國務院今天公開拒絕，並表示「協助台灣自我防衛的能力，一切合乎法規」。國務院發言人麥考馬克表示：「布希政府恪守台灣關係法安全及軍售相關法條，提供軍事協助，與我們該盡的職責並未相違背。」中國外交部今天稍早對美國提出抗議，認為此舉已經違反一中政策，並將「危及台海和平及穩定，傷害中美關係」。麥考馬克對此加以駁斥，表示顯然美國每次對台軍售都會引起中國的強烈反應。他說：「每當中國抗議的時候，我們就會解釋軍售案並未違背一中政策。」

現代金聖嘆對王金平的正義批判 Modern Critique Jin Sheng Tan Satire toward Senate Head Wang JinPing

2007-02-21T00:43:00.000-08:00

現代金聖嘆對王金平的正義批判 Modern Critique Jin Sheng Tan Satire toward Senate Head Wang JinPing 對黑金的姑息﹐立法院的縱容暴力﹐無法用警力維持﹐民進黨公然毆打民意代表﹐如何讓平民百姓感到公正有仁愛仁道﹖暴民的台灣政府﹐如法國大革命後的恐怖組織﹐你對台灣百姓生民的不起。 Wang is complacent toward the black gold financial crimes, lax on stopping the police in Senate DPP's from using violence. DPP hit the legislators, how do you qualify yourself to be any leader to let Taiwan people feel this is a just society? This violent Taiwan ruling government is much like the French terrorists mob regime after the French Revolution. You owe it to the living souls in Taiwan. 連戰既已‘年老體弱色衰’﹐奉勸帥哥兒們﹐余生就多做善事﹐歷史還是會記你一功﹐不要處心積慮的偏袒王金平﹐馬擺在大家面前﹐是得分者。人生有幾度春秋呢﹖不是讓李登輝放手做過老大﹖中華民國的總統加上國民黨的主席還對台灣人不起嗎﹖ Lian Zhan says he is aging and losing the good looks, so advice toward the handsome guys are to do more contributions. History will write you down your good works. Not to be biased toward Wang Jinping, just because he is a native Taiwanese. Ma is in front of you with high rating and popularity. How many springs and autumns can one man have? After all, we let Lee Deng Hui to be in charge as the president of ROC and the chairman for the KMT. We were not unkind to the native Taiwanese. 陳水扁的犯規纍纍﹐國際上早就確證鑿鑿。 Chen Shui Bian's criminal records are fully disclosed to the international community. 若要當革命家﹐得找美國﹐蘇聯﹐英國算總帳﹐雅爾達密約致成的分裂﹐ 國民黨是受傷害者。 For a true revolutionary to embark for the justice, then he or she should look toward US, Soviet Union, and England for the past mistakes, for the problem of migrating large population to Taiwan, as a result of the Yalta betraying of the Nationalist who were the victims. 蔣家對台灣的功過﹐是一段中華民族心酸史。 Chiang Kai Shek family toward Taiwan, there wer faults and there were contributions. It was a sad Chinese national history. 國民黨在世界上是有輝煌功勞的﹐戰區國民黨﹐組織部長﹐號召民力﹐軍人及學人在盧溝橋七七事變後起義﹐全民抗戰。 The Nationalist has achieved great projects for the world record. In the battle zone, the superb organizational department head called up the human resources, galvanized and with the will to fight and to sacrifice to defend freedom in China, by the popular support, with soldiers, school teachers, students, after July 7th, 1937 the clash over the Marco Polo bridge in Beijing, it was full blown in resisting the militaristic Japan. 中國人犧牲了人民達數千萬﹐美國羅斯福的戰術﹐讓日本狂暴刺刀由中國廣大人口抵擋﹐給點區區小數﹐大家爭得不像樣﹐國民穿破布衣服﹐無衣無食克難度日﹐打敗日本﹐解決日本侵略帝國﹐中國人幫助俄國東邊領土﹐使俄西邊與英美盟軍打敗德國﹐這是舉世無雙何等的偉大的國民黨﹖ Chinese sacrificed several tens of millions, that is the Roosevelt strategy, to let the Japan violent bayonets cut through the Chinese large populations. America for a little money, and as if toward dogs, everyone fought for the crumbs. With tattered clothing, without food and they somehow fought back and defeated Japan. The invading Japan empire was capitulated under the Chinese resistance. China helped Russia's east front land, so that the peace allowed the west side to have alliance with England and America to defeat Hitler in Leningrad. This is peerless achiever under the Natioanlist leadership. 請問台灣人有替世界和平站邊嗎﹖ 莫以為國民黨虎落平陽受犬欺﹐龍困淺水受蝦戲﹐許多人將會來個總反攻﹐別後悔莫及﹐何必當初。 Taiwan, may I ask you, did you stand on the right side of the world peace? Do not think that nationalists are the tiger going to the sun down being fooled by the dog and the dragon trapped in shallow river made fun with by the shrimps. Many may re-group and fight back, then you may regret, why you are not thinking clearly about your identity? 還是把歷史任務交給馬英九吧﹐與中共談一種過渡性質﹐如何融合. 台灣之父是劉銘傳﹐小時候我坐過他建設的台灣縱貫鐵路﹐這就是美麗動人的台灣﹐軌道與管理都來自于大陸﹐台灣的本色就是大陸﹐甚至日本的東京言語﹐來自古吳國方言﹐去看中日詞典會告訴你來源。清朝加上蔣殺掉的台灣對抗人民﹐遠遠低于日本﹐為什麼你怕日本不去討個公道呢﹖日本在台灣在中國大陸實行了三光政策﹐我們的自尊與人性不容許遺忘。這就是基本人權﹐我也有﹐你也有。 Suggestion is to let Ma take care of the historical mission. To talk with mainland China about a transitional method, to preserve Taiwan attributes, but still mix well with the Chinese in Taiwan and Chinese in China. Taiwan father is Liu Mingchuan. When I was little, I sat in the Taiwan vertical railroad, it was beautiful. That track and management all came from China. Taiwan true color is China. Even Japan Tokyo lingual root is derived from ancient Wu country dialect, you should find this out from the Chinese Japanese dictionary as to the origin of the Japan language. Qing dynasty government and Chiang Kai Shek killed the number of local Taiwan resistance group combined, still far lower than Japan's killing numbers. Why are you so afraid of Japan to ask for justice? Japan administered the Three Annihilation in Taiwan and mainland China, "Kill all, rob all, burn all". Our pride and self respect do not allow us to ever forget. This is the basic human right, I have it and you have it too. This is the basic human right.

河南省開封朱仙鎮木版年畫門神

朱仙鎮木版年畫歷史悠久，堪稱中國民間藝術寶庫中的一顆明珠。北宋年間，每逢過年過節，特別是過春節家家戶戶貼門神已成為一種風尚，以祈求人壽年豐、吉祥如意、招財進寶、鎮邪除妖。後來北宋沒落、滅亡，開卦幾經戰亂，木版年畫便衰落下來。到了明代，開封年畫雖然又獲復興，但已逐漸轉移到朱仙鎮。明朝末年洪水泛濫，開封被淹沒，百業俱廢，朱仙鎮便成了木版年畫的中心。明、清時期，朱仙鎮就有３００多家木版年畫作坊，其作品暢銷各地，於是開封地區的年畫被統稱為“朱仙鎮木版年畫”，影響深遠。朱仙鎮在河南省開封市城南１０公里，雖然是個小鎮，在古代卻名列中國四大古鎮之一。特別是北宋末年岳飛曾率軍在這裏大破兀術的金兵，朱仙鎮更為國人所知。為紀念岳家軍的功績，在朱仙鎮建有一座規模不小的岳王座，而今朱仙鎮木版年畫社就設在這座古廟之中。朱仙鎮木版年畫有五大特點：一是線條粗獷，粗細相間；二是形象誇張，頭大身小；三是構圖飽滿，左右對稱；四是色彩艷麗，對比強烈；五是門神神碼多，嚴肅端莊。朱仙鎮年畫可分為兩大類，一類是神祗畫，如灶君神、天地神等，另一類是門神類，朱仙鎮木版年畫中最多的就是門神，門神中以秦瓊、尉遲敬德兩位武將為主。那些大大小小的門神畫中，兩位武將或衣著不同，或形態各異：步下鞭、馬上鞭、回頭馬鞭、抱鞭、豎刀、披袍等，不下２０種樣式。除此之外，還有各種文武門神。文門神有五子、九蓮燈、福祿壽等；武門神常是戲曲中的忠臣義士和各類英雄好漢。不同人的房門常貼不同內容的門神：已婚子女輩房門貼“天仙送子”、“連生貴子”、“三娘教子”；中年人房門貼“加官進祿”、“步步蓮生”；老年人房門貼“松鶴延年”和“壽星”之類；少年兒童居室房門貼“五子奪魁”、“劉海戲金蟾”等。

Senate Hearing on Bush’s Iraq Policy of War Escalation

2007-01-11T23:19:00.000-08:00

Senate Hearing on Bush’s Iraq Policy of War Escalation The atmosphere was very somber, and the senators, who are representing the people, are trapped between the President and the people. Their constituency is not all that calm, all are speaking with high anxiety. One person shouted out “You are all liars!” One of the few senators that agreed even partially with Bush, the Florida Senator, said, “There is only one point that I agree with the President, and that is to send 4000 troops to Anbar province. The reason is that Anbar is a Sunni stronghold, and if they are struggling against Al Qaeda, we should help their cause. But I’m against his proposing to send 17000 troops into Baghdad.” Senate Foreign Relation Committee chairman, Joseph Biden made the conclusion: To Secretary Rice, you have heard our colleagues.. 1) Making Maliki committed to “Take out the Sunnis” will exacerbate the problem of sectarian violence. Free mind comment – it is true that Shiites have been under Sunni oppression, but now that the Shiites are in power, it is not time to collaborate with the Americans to do ethnic cleansing, Americans across party lines will never accept that. 2) You have to explicitly deny that you are to go into Iran or Syria. We’ll find out if the President makes the move. If he is to pursue on the border into Iran, we will generate “Constitution Confrontation”. 3) I think what it occurs is profound and you heard 21 members with one or two exceptions, all expressed overwhelming concern at president’s proposal. He will proceed with risk if not detailed intent to bring in U.S. Senate into his proposal. I hope that the administration doesn’t think it is a done deal, with 21,000 troops, we are ranged from skepticism, to intense skepticism, to outright opposition. If we can’t figure out how to bring along the American people, we will mortgage the ability of this president and the next president, and damage our national interest because the requirement to deploy other parts. From the looks of things, the majority of Americans now disagree with Bush’s strategy, and the senators are just reflecting their constituents. The November elections were a clear message from the American people that now is the time to begin reducing troops and sending them home from Iraq. Instead the president is going in the opposite direction by sending more troops.

Chen Shui-bian Checks into St. Regis Hotel, Welcomed by the Protesters

2007-01-08T23:31:00.000-08:00

My comment: It is not so important that the self-proclaimed Republic of China president passes through San Francisco, what is important is why America lets him pass through at this point in time. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2007/01/09/2003343989 China slams US for allowing California stopover for Chen TRUE TO FORM: Beijing again charged that the real aim of Chen Shui-bian's transit stop in the US was to divide China and damage Sino-US ties AGENCIES, TAIPEI AND BEIJING Tuesday, Jan 09, 2007, Page 3 China accused President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) of trying to damage Sino-US ties with a stopover in California on the way to Central America yesterday and criticized Washington for authorizing the brief visit. Chen left for Nicaragua yesterday to attend the swearing-in ceremony of president-elect Daniel Ortega, stopping en route in San Francisco. Chen was scheduled to meet privately in San Francisco with Raymond Burghardt, chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan. Chen was to spend the night in San Francisco before flying on to Nicaragua today for Ortega's inauguration. China slammed the stopover. "The Chinese side opposes the United States and the Taiwan [sic] authorities having any form of official dealings," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao (劉建超) said in a statement on the ministry's Web site. "We express serious concern about related reports," Liu said, referring to Chen's California visit. "We have made serious representations to the US side." "What should be pointed out is that the real aim of Chen Shui-bian's `transit stop' in the United States is to carry out activities whose purpose is to split China and damage Sino-US relations," Liu added. Chen will also make a refueling stop in Los Angeles on Friday on his way back to Taiwan. Chen last year rebuffed the US' offer for stopovers in Alaska or Hawaii on the way to Latin America, after he was barred from high-profile transits in New York or San Francisco. Instead, he stopped in Abu Dhabi and Amsterdam en route to Latin America, and in the Dominican Republic and Libya on the way home, triggering criticism from the opposition that he had jeopardized ties with the US. However, Chen landed for several hours in the US territory of Guam last September during a South Pacific tour. A US official said Chen would simply "transit" this time. "We understand President Chen's activities will be private and unofficial, consistent with the purposes of a transit," an AIT spokesman said yesterday, referring to the San Francisco and Los Angeles stopovers. Nicaragua is one of Taiwan's 24 diplomatic allies. However, Ortega is a former pro-communist leader who broke with Taiwan and switched allegiance to China when he served as Nicaragua's president in the 1980s, leading some in Taiwan to fear he could do the same thing again when he retakes office. In his campaign for the November elections, Ortega vowed to recognize Beijing if elected and sever ties with Taiwan. But Chen's visit comes amid speculation that Nicaragua may maintain diplomatic ties with Taiwan in return for lucrative aid compensation. http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/01/08/18345130.php

San Francisco January 8, 2007

Many from the American Chinese community turned out in front of the St. Regis Hotel to greet Chen's VIP motorcade arrival to San Francisco today.

The turnout of Chen loyalists and opponents appeared equally divided. Supporters wore the green of Chen's DPP political party; opponents the traditional Chinese red.

One observer mentioned that Time Magazine recently did a story about the most corrupt leaders in the world and Chen ranked as the fifth most corrupt. Chen is also controversial because of his avowed desire to make Taiwan an independent country.

His opponents, composed of Taiwanese and mainland immigrants who wish to see the eventual reunification of Taiwan with the mainland drew the most attention from passerbys and the Chinese media with their cries denouncing Chen. They were especially critical of the corruption charges that Chen has been able to narrowly elude to date. Taiwan no longer has formal diplomatic ties with the United States. The People's Republic of China (PRC) has strongly protested Chen's ability to travel in the U.S. This has created little unease with the Bush administration which allows Chen to visit on occasion. That Chen should be one of a few government leaders to celebrate Daniel Ortega's inauguration draws attention to Taiwan's increasing isolation from the world community of nations. Daniel Ortega has indicated that he may break off formal ties with Taiwan (the Republic of China or ROC). The governments of Taiwan and Nicaragua have had a cozy relationship for years and Chen hopes to salvage it. George W. Bush's father's administration worked hard to institutionalize political, economic and military support for Taiwan in spite of transference of official recognition to the PRC. U.S. support today for Taiwan under his son may be less reliable however. Corporate interests are keen to make the most of the mainland's cheap labor and burgeoning market. They are also wary to placate the mainland whose growing economic reserves can be flexed to undermine an already shaky U.S. dollar. Also, critics of the Bush administration (including high-ranking generals and intelligence analysts) say that the U.S. military is now overextended and would have trouble responding to any new regional flashpoints. The U.S. must rely on the PRC to help deter North Korean aggression (even nuclear war) against South Korea. Chen's visit, while tolerated by the Bush administration, is an embarrassing reminder of neglected world tensions. Not only does it fuel divisions among Chinese Americans-- it also suggests that Chen must play every card in his deck-- or bluff-- to win approval wherever he can find it.

Nancy Pelosi

2007-01-04T21:42:00.000-08:00

Nancy Pelosi Accepts the Gavel for House Speaker On the Opening of the 110th Congress Today, the Democrats take control of the Congress after 12 years. She is the first female House Speaker for America. Nancy Pelosi said today in the Capitol, “We have waited for 200 years.” “All men and women are created equal!” “I accept this gavel in the spirit of the partnership, not partisanship’. We have the obligation to work beyond partisanship, even with divisions, for our country. Thomas Jefferson said, “Every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.” “In this House, we may be different parties, but we serve one country.” For all children, the House will come to order! She raised and touched the gavel on the table. Chinese must learn that unification is not when one party tells the rest to be silent, and despite that many are stalling the process of democracy, many still are dedicated to the sacred process of democracy within China and in the international community to raise the self-esteem in treating all citizens with equality, and not one Party which rules all, with One Country, One Party, and fragmented systems. There is but one human value, which is Equality for all.

Ford Memorial 哀傷美國福特總統過世弔唁

2006-12-27T23:13:00.000-08:00

President Ford (President from '74 to '77). Ford was APPOINTED Vice President by Nixon after the resignation of Spiro Agnew.

當我孤註一擲來到美國時﹐福特總統的照片懸掛著各公家機關。他也許並不是最完善最精明強干的領導人﹐但在他的澤幸裡﹐我們獲得滋長。福特自耶魯大學法律系畢業﹐一個密西根的小鎮紳士﹐他總輕鬆微笑﹐並不疾言厲色。世界是美好的﹐在你的笑容可掬裡﹐在共和黨水門案件時﹐出來調理舉國上下的爭議﹐ 中國出幾個福特多好﹖可以真正調停﹐處理國事﹐不是誤解﹐而是和解。福特總統您安息吧﹗ 晚安﹗ When I came to America as an immigrant, the American President Ford's photo was hanging in the public offices. He might not be the most brilliant sharp-tongued leader, but in his aura of kind dew, we gained the right amount of sunshine. Never too intense, a simple gentleman, he was a decent man when the country roiled in debates of conspiracy. A small town Michigan Yale Law School man, he ran the country. The Green Bay Packers offered him $200 a day contract. When Agnew resigned, Ford took Nixon's offer as vice president. He was the only American non-elected president and vice-president. American needed his healing. President Ford, have eternal peace now. Good night! Have a good ball game golfing or football. China should have many Fords, then we could solve problems.

中國奇跡式的山路 Chinese Style Magic Mountain Road

2006-11-03T23:06:00.000-08:00

中國奇跡式的山路 Chinese Style Magic Mountain Road 河南輝縣萬仙山風景區! 我雖然沒有到過,從像片中看到這麽天險的公路, 我真爲那裏修路的人民群衆感到驕傲和自豪!中國人民是多麽勤勞和勇敢的啊, 他們所創造的奇迹何止這條公路! 古代的不說,就說近代的,還有紅旗渠啊,也是人民用血汗修成的啊!我們的人民群衆夥了改變自己和子孫和命運,用鮮血和生命去拼搏,去創造財富.爲的是什麽?不是爲了國家的強大嗎,不是爲了改變自己的命運嗎!國家貧窮,不能出錢爲老百姓開路架橋,群衆自己組織出力修,國家對不起他們啊!不過,從這可以看出人民群衆是多麽的偉大啊!!! Here is a great example of road construction in Henan under the Communist government. What has great Communist China done for the Henan people? Chiang Kai-shek flooded most of the farm region in the name of defending the rest of the region and resisting against Japan. Both Nationalists and Communists are indebted to Henan. The dam is used for water, that submerges the land, and the water goes north. China imports 40,000 tons of bananas from Philippines, and 2,000 tons from Taiwan, touted for its generosity by Premier Wen Jia-bao. China promises North Korea to give aid to stop Kim Jung Il’s threat to do a nuclear test. China promises to float the RMB, at the same time, to buy 50 Russian battle planes in order to fill in the new three air craft carriers, of course, the new buying power internationally, has to be restrained, and withered, without the new exchange rate stronger buying power reflected. Putin’s Russia exchange rate remains constant, 30 Rubles to $1. The U.S. has forced China to float its currency, but not Russia. Why not? Russia is making a lot of money from selling weapons and oil to China. Much of the money that goes from the U.S. to China ends up in Russian hands. China Hu Jintao just promised to give to $5 billion to Africans leaders to help train 15,000 professionals. Does China have any independent original thinking? Does this show Russia have better economic stability? In Comparison to China, Russia manufacturing business don’t import to the U.S., however, the Chinese made money from the U.S., the manufacture sector from many cheap labors, and in their exchange for Russian’s natural resource oil, has transferred American surplus to feed into the Big Russian brother. So American people need to get mad ultimately at Russia, and Japan, and not the poor Chinese people, most of them still live under extreme poverty. Japan is because, China transfers some surplus to trade with Taiwan, and Taiwan rich men enriched their own monopoly business, by taking and exploiting the old Nationalist businesses and employing all racial groups in the public sector, now only limited to promotion of Taiwanese ethnics, this Japan-friendly group further makes acquirement from Japan, So China’s wealth made from US. transfers to Russia, and Japan. So please don’t squeeze more poor farmers by suspending the good virtue Nationalist government’s farm subsidy program, and forced them to starve and enrich the Philippines by 40,000 tons. Why does China need to suffer in the name of a level playing field, in order to reward the Phillippines, who has no policy, and a lazy and corrupt government that does not care for their people.

Raisa Gorbachev, the Woman Who Undid the Soviet Union

2006-10-29T01:48:00.000-08:00

Raisa Gorbachev, the Woman Who Allowed Russia to Continue by Dissolving Soviet Russia She wasn’t Napoleon, and didn’t have a great French revolution. A learned professor capitulated the very empire based on the anchor theory which was her main study. A Sociologist Dissolve the Old Shackle and Liberated Russia to Regenerate Russia As a sociology student, I watched attentively on Raisa Gorbachev’s speech and interviews, and listened with respect. She was a professor at her alma mater Moscow State University and she was a sociologist student, and taught the courses later in her university. At first, she studied sociology at Moscow State University and that was how she was trained in understanding deeply about the social structure, social changes, and the new ways to adapt in order for Russia to advance and survive. Russia must thank her for doing so, to save it from being phased out as a stagnated Communist ideology. Only someone with tremendous understanding at heart of the culture, and social structures, could have great charisma and courage to have an innovative mind and wisdom to reform, and to change, and gets the savior respect name. In her era, she was a new thinker, a woman with social conscience and social study, a professor in the theory of the philosophy of Marxism-Leninism and the Soviet life in collective farms. She must be in tune with the Soviet people and the comparison of the Tsarist serfdom and European fief, and collective farm system. To the west, it is a novelty about all these concepts, and commune way of life, as it has disappeared from the Western life, due to the alienation of workers in our form and conducts. But Chinese farmers are the most egalitarian and free group, many exiled officials could enjoy peaceful farmers life, once they are out of Central capital limelight, or detached from the official life. In truth, many want to be free farmers, not officials. From the conceptualization, of her theoretical mode of existence, and it was a must to have the 1989 forego of all this Soviet as a terrible regime in the oppression of mankind. She liberated Russia, and only from that moment, of self-determination, she founded a new Russia, a reformed Born Again Russia. A woman of tremendous wisdom, cultivation, and fortitude. Her flamboyance softened the dark Russian image the world has. Her candid speech and conducts gave a human dimension and helped tremendously in the mystic of the Russian unknown evil empire. She honestly told audiences how the black market was to buy lipstick and stockings in Russia. The black market system that the Russia people all across the living standards must go through to have even a little enjoyment. A sociology student well read in all the theories of social structures, and social revolutionary, collective movements analysis. She knew the distinction of a good social conscience movement from a blind commotion movement. China communist also has such a good thinker and he is not blindly endorsing any movement for movement sake. There are many misinterpretations coerced on blind movement and they claim from the origin of Russia. Many in Moscow study, were incarcerated, and sent to Siberia. To avoid a grand sudden unexpected capitulation, there must be good works done on the part of the sociologists, and people with great social conscience to cope with the likelihood of such events, so that there won’t be a big revolution. Reagan called “Take down that Wall!” Gorbachev and his wife did accordingly. Many lands and old country in different socio-cultural systems were back to the original form, to her, this is the falling into its original order, though to some, it is a police-state question. An international treaty needs to be broken to return justice to a country. Such as Yalta, Paris Treaty. Revolutionary needs not to be bloody. Justice can be gained without violence. Russia’s woman and resolution was achieved by a good sociologist who understands the culture and the needs to go on as Russians, not so much as Communists. What is Bush’s dream and capacity? What’s his speech about we stand down, they stand up? Iraq as a central front. Can we really reduce the Iraqi hatred and anti-American ideology? What is the Communist bloc in the pursuit of Anti-America? Do we have to polarize Socialist to Capitalist? Socialist country vs Capitalist country? What’s the training behind Gorbachev’s wife who is behind the man?

A New Strategy of Help from America

2006-10-26T23:53:00.000-07:00

Reverse the Mistake of Vietnam America is a good country and doesn’t want to be hated. How to do this? Democrats want to withdraw from Iraq for their logic of self-phobia, but Republican mentality is to hang on to get the fruits of for the planted trees to flower and to see the prospect of a new democratic life breed for Arab world. Strategy one: Get Iraqis security force up to speed, and take on the National responsibility to discipline all the radicals, either Shiite Sadr militias or the Jahid Sunnis. Americans should not kill them, and let Iraqis do the killings if they so do choose. As Maliki said, “No country can tell Iraqis any order or any timelines.” 1) Have Iraqi parents discipline their own bad kids. But don’t Americans ever go there to punish Iraqi kids. So get the Iraqi security to take on the task of getting Al-Sadr in line in his Iraq discipline. If Al-Sadr is radical or pro-Iran, this is Al-Maliki’s headache and not Americans’. Moderate Maliki should rely on Iraqi security troops to accomplish restrain radical militia Sadr at bay. If Iraqis want to kill Al-Sadr, American don’t even need to participate. So Americans won’t be hated. Note from the Shia of Iraq: "We have nothing to do with Iran. We share the same faith, but we are different. We don't want Iran to rule us." 2) Get Iraqi moderates to deal with the radical Jihad-Sunnis. History shows that America will be hated and thrown out if gets involved in dictating the government what to do. That is why Al-Maliki says, “Only Iraqis can have the timelines, and no one can impose any time line.” This is to respond to what general Abizaid and the US to Iraq ambassador Khlilzaid’s meeting to want Iraqi to get it up to speed. Up to speed in English is a polite term and in its efficiency, but translated in Islamic, it has a condescending undertone. So there is a cultural and language clash here. With all due respect, America and Al-Maliki are on very good terms, given the historic state of the things. American only wants a government that is stable and gives people freedom. This is the religious leaders’ secret wish, they wish Americans to stay, and get Americans’ support in material goods, and in support to refrain the ruling government. “For fourteen centuries, no ruler has given us justice, but we have endured.” Many Americans and the Arabic world don’t realize about geo-political significance of the Bush Administration projects. In many religious sense, it is being considered ‘positive’ and as a ‘gift’ which is foreign origin, hence the term and concept of “Foreign Gift”. Bring the Iraqi security force up to speed and while for saving face, Rumsfeld only admitted that the Iraqi equipments are backward and he will ask for more money to support the Iraqis, he vehemently denied that the Iraqi security are not make good progress. What Rumsfeld’s feeling is very justified. Rumsfeld is a good American and doing his best to get Middle East in a non-hostile American zone, and peace for all Arab nations. But what Rumsfeld fails to understand about the Islamic culture is due to his own understanding toward the western culture. For 1400 years, religious leaders and the people have endured, despite the rulers not giving justice. It should not be Rumsfeld's sole task to embark on a religious reformation along with state v.s. religion revolution, the Iraqi people must participate, and not just by elections, or by Shiites, but Sunnis should get into it. Rumsfeld can't take Iraqi culture from 600 A.D. to 2000 A.D. without the Iraqi want it also. People are stuck for 1400 years, yet, it seems that they are more complacent than Chinese. In my future book, I will tell you the secret link of China and Middle East changing great landscape at 600 A.D., few Chinese know about, rare for Middle East to know, let alone the Americans or the Europeans. The first step met tremendous applauding via the form of votes, the enthusiasm for democracy in the Iraqi national elections. Along the way, the dark side of the religion are gradually being pushed out. A silent Martin Luther like, Islamic religion reformation is underway. "The terror at play in the world of Islam, of the use of religion in the service of a cult of violence..., people are grateful for the mercy in the Islamic world for the moderation." After Jesus’s questioning the Roman God and authority, and being persecuted, the West went into a dark medieval time until 1400 years later, when Martin Luther led the religious reformation, and this enabled Renaissance’s man’s value to flourish and in his question of God’s super power, man started to embark on art and scientific projects and the western men were able to lead the world until now. But the Middle East for 1400 till today, has been in the dark medieval era where the rulers are menacing their power. So does this justify Bush’s action, albeit it is not as noble as Martin Luther, but still is a Reform and a Foreign initiated gift to the Iraqi and the Middle East. Perhaps from within, there is no hope for this Shia culture. What’s the impetus for a culture or civilization to move on unlike the high form Sumerian but all disappeared. “The Shia of Imam Ali are born to suffer. We have to be in a constant state of agitation. This agitation made us what we are. We are born oppositionists.” A Religious leader said, “Why should we assume, that the American withdrawal would be a good thing?” Americans should continue to identify the useful and respectable Sunni leaders and give them the central power, so that they can congeal the Sunni factions, and will contribute to a stable central government and manage their own fate, so not overtaken by the extremists. The world should be happy if Bush wins, because American economy is the anchor for China, for the world, and for Iraq assistance. Conclusion: Do not abandon Iraq or give up on Iraq, because many non-violent people want you to be there. But have the Iraqi security forces enforce the law and suppress the extremists, so Americans are not in the role of killing Iraqis. According to Lucianne.com blogger, that she predicts that the Republicans will win both the House and the Senate.

Song of the Exiled

2006-10-24T22:48:00.000-07:00

Song of the Exiled Xiao Hong self-imposed exile from her Manchuria hometown Harbin. The Biography of Hulan River documented that although it was a very beautiful place, the Manchurian customs for girl to jump into a hot water huge bucket and were clamored by the villagers to yell that is good for you, is as low moral and no compassion the numb race as what Lu Xun termed “Ah Q” 東北滿族蕭紅的自我流放到他鄉呼蘭河傳﹐記錄了東北家鄉雖美﹐滿族的燙人的習俗﹐還一群人站著只叫好﹐沒有人性的如魯迅的評判。魯迅痛心的看到菜市場口﹐俄日軍用槍軍刀把俘虜的中國人砍頭﹐同胞爭先恐後觀望這一齣好戲。 Lu Xun with aching heart to come to the market center that throngs of Chinese people struggled to watch a show which was the Japanese soldier’s bayonet and Russian’s killing captured Chinese. They have no more feelings toward themselves, and others. Which Chinese to think other Chinese deserved to be killed, should be killed themselves. 認為其他中國人不值得生的人﹐自己也不值一文。 To Reconstruct Our National Man’s Value As inheriting the Lu Xun’s philosophy, she believes that we must be brave to reconstruct our nation’s soul and expressed about national citizens’ survival primitivism and fallacy to the extreme clarity point. We must be brave to reconstruct our nation’s moral Character 我們要勇于改造民族靈魂蕭紅的小說創作繼承了魯迅"改造民族靈魂"的主題,她把國民生存的原始和愚味,展示到極致. We are A – Q. We are so wrong To reconstruct the National ethnical soul, is the foremost task. This is for the Communists as well. The conscience of the Communist Party, Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang. What have the Nationalists done for this country? It is in the deep conscience of the Communist Central Bureau, and recently the facts are surfacing more and more. Mao mausoleum almost time to be removed away from Tiananmen Square, which was from Ming emperor’s blessing place.

My Friend During the Cold War, Romain Roland 冷戰時的朋友羅曼羅蘭

2006-10-21T01:29:00.000-07:00

先相信自己，然後別人才會相信你。 —— 羅曼羅蘭 20世紀法國著名作家、音樂評論家，1915年諾貝爾文學獎得主 First to trust yourself, then others will believe in you. – Roman Roland, 1866-1944. 20th century French celebrated author, music critic, and 1915 Nobel literature prize winner 那個冷戰的時代﹐一個少女如我﹐夏日長假探討人生哲理﹐看了羅曼羅蘭的論著﹐這是偶然性嗎﹖ 遠在天邊香港的祖父﹐是社會學科系主任﹐他年青時代﹐也是新潮的追尋﹐造成狂瀾, 他那悲天憫人的天性, In that cold war era, a young teen age girl that I was in the long summer vacation, in my curiosity to seek out the foreign philosophy, I read some of Romain Rolland’s work about the world. Was it so happenstance? My far away grandfather was the sociology department head, and with his new wave of thinking in his youth to have created a tidal wave for China’s new breathing into free air of pursuit of foreign ideology and in his good sympathetic nature. 一個人要幫助弱者，應當自己成為強者，而不是和他們一樣變成弱者 -- 羅曼羅蘭 A person to help the weak, must to become a strong man, and not to also become a weak individual. – Romain Rolland 創造，或者醞釀未來的創造。這是一种必要性：幸福只能存在于這种必要性得到滿足的時候。 -- 羅曼羅蘭 Creation, or to foment the future creation, this is a necessity: Joyce only exists in this bound to gain satisfaction moment in time. – Romain Rolland 少女的她開始由天寒地凍的東北逃亡南下﹐僅穿薄布鞋踏在冰天雪地放不下親弟弟到籃球場去話別如同馬克吐溫中國的苦兒流浪計版本 As a young girl, she started to run to south from the freezing Manchuria, with only a pair of clothing thin shoes stomping on the icy land. She couldn’t leave her brother easily, and went to the basketball court to see him off. This is like Mark Twain’s version of Huckleberry Finn. 蕭紅的生死場。 In her life zone and death zone, she had been through the Concession’s bright light, and the Chinese territory’s death darkness. 租界的光明。華界的死亡。生死存亡生生死死絲絲入扣聽潮聲澎湃 Listen to the sound of the Yangtze river and ocean wave. Only that wave splashing is free. 唯有那潮聲是自由的不被日軍刺刀穿殺 That can’t be penetrated by the bayonet. 她又投奔到租界地 She came to the Concession. 這裡日本屠夫有點忌諱 Some scruples for the Japanese butcher In the Concession 萬馬齊喑她沒有啞然喑住做了犧牲的人民的沈默的聲音 Ten thousand horse stand mute. But she didn’t become mute in The sacrificial people’s silence 喑【yīn】 <書> silent; mute; dumb. 萬馬齊喑【wànmǎqíyīn】 ten thousand horses stand mute. Lu Xun borrowed Romain Rolland’s words to say that “Keller Hutzer is German modern’s greatest poem. It shone on the poor and the people’s difficult life and pain. This is a woman with man’s high quality, in with sensitivity in the sympathy, to keep in her eyes, in her kind mother’s wrists; there are poems to substitute those victims’ people’s silent sound.” 魯迅曾引用羅曼．羅蘭的話說﹐珂勒惠支的作品“是現代德國的最偉大的詩歌﹐它照出窮人與平民的困苦和悲痛。這有丈夫氣概的婦人﹐用了陰鬱和纖穠的同情﹐把這些收在她的眼中﹐她的慈母的腕裡了﹐這是做了犧牲的人民的沈默的聲音”。

2006年9月﹐台灣同胞在參加人民大會堂晚宴前的留影合照。這是中國人有尊嚴的一個晚宴﹐大廳堂裡面影影綽綽﹐個個人大駕光臨的神采奕奕﹐充滿希望與認同﹐回到我們歷經磨難的祖國﹐台灣經過了割讓﹐屈膝的奴役﹐南京走過了大屠殺﹐東北渡過了蕭紅的逃離滿洲國“生死場”而南下求生﹐莫忘了那巍巍的鐘山﹐龍蟠虎踞石頭城, 啊　莫想那秦淮煙柳,不管那六朝金粉大家努力向前程,看草色青青听江濤聲響,起來,共燃起大地的光明今晚在人民神聖的殿堂裡﹐這裡沒有暗泣及嚎哭﹐這裡唯有正義與光明。 9.2006, Taiwan people came to the State banquet in front of Great Hall of People This is a night with Chinese dignity. In the great Hall, every one appears with great spirit. We return to our suffering country. Taiwan passed the humiliation of the severing to Japan, and bent down the knees to the Japanese, Nanjing walked past the shadow of the slaughter, Manchuria as the writer Xiaohong depicted that she fled her home to go south to live. "Don't forget the majestic towering lofty Purple Gold mountain The Dragon circling and Tiger croutching Stone fortress city Ah, don't be pensive on the Qin Huai River smoky willowy Not to care the six dynasty women of gold power charm seduction We all need to make forward progress Looking at the grass are thriving green Lisen to the nice Yantze river ocean splashing Rise up To light the brightness on the big earh" Tonight, in the people's Great Hall palace There is no sobbing in the dark or chilly bursting cry Here only the righteous and the light

胡耀邦是中国共产党的良心 Hu Yaobang is China Communist Conscience

胡耀邦是中国共产党的良心 Hu Yaobang is China Communist Conscience Visit GongQing City, JiangXi province, Hu YaoBang’s Grave 访江西省共青城胡耀邦的陵园 "This country needs to return justice to many good men, irregardless of whether they are Communists or Nationalists." "To achieve social stability and win all hearts from across all lives." -- Free Mind http://www.epochtimes.com/gb/5/12/9/n1148750.htm 日本舆论赞胡耀邦【大纪元12月9日讯】(美国之音记者：歌篮2005年12月9日东京报导)中国政府上个月低调地举行了纪念前中共总书记胡耀邦的座谈会，日本各大传媒当时纷纷公开发表了议论。在日本各种研究中国的机构和杂志中，议论持续至今。 *中岛宏：知识份子很尊敬* 日本中国研究所出版的《中国研究月报》最近发表了研究员中岛宏有关今年8月到中国江西省参拜中共前总书记胡耀邦陵园的文章。20世纪80年代作为日本共同社驻北京记者的中岛宏在接受记者采访时回忆说，当时只要是胡耀邦的记者会，气氛一定很活跃。他说，胡耀邦一直是他崇敬的政治家：中岛宏：“所以我跟三个原来的记者一起去江西省共青城，在那里有胡耀邦的陵园。因为我80年代在北京的时候采访过胡耀邦，我对他很关心。我的朋友有很多知识份子，他们都是很尊敬他的。” *中曾根：愿种90棵樱树* 胡耀邦1983年访日期间表现出尊重知识和培育两国长期友好的决心，给一代日本国民留下了深刻的记忆。当时的日本首相中曾根康弘在中共上个月纪念胡耀邦的座谈会上寄文致辞说： “国家之间的友好、亲善固然以人民的提携与合作为本，但国家领导人之间基于人性的理解、友情与尊重，也是重要的基础。胡耀邦先生也同样怀有这种信念。如能让我在明年适当时期，在先生的墓地周围种九十棵樱树，我将不胜感激，我也恳求能有人为我照料这些樱树。” *不懂为何邀3千人访华成为下台原因之一* 日中友协常务理事酒井诚最近也在纪念胡耀邦的活动中说，胡耀邦访日时在一个面对4千名日本青年的演讲中，邀请3千名日本青年访华，会场内爆发了巨大掌声。酒井说，当时日本国民印象深刻地感觉到，中国不愧是一个大国。不过后来日本国民非常遗憾地获悉，邀请日本青年访华，却成为胡耀邦下台的原因之一，至今很多日本人仍难以理解。 *中国政要纷纷访陵园* 中岛宏说，据他所知，其实不少中共高层人物都陆续去过胡耀邦陵园：中岛宏：“陵园旁边有胡耀邦纪念馆，纪念馆有很多花圈，花圈写的名字和他们来的日子，所以我知道。胡锦涛93年4月份来了，江泽民95年3月份来了，还有纪念馆的解说员说，温家宝、吴官正、黄菊来过。” 中岛宏认为，中国在纪念胡耀邦的规格和形式上反反覆覆的过程，反映出中共忧虑政治不安，而今年1月严加控制追悼前中共总书记赵紫阳，既反映了这种不安，也反映了胡耀邦和赵紫阳生前是否完全下台的不同评价基准。 *谢幼田：不提胡赵是歪曲历史* 美国斯坦福大学胡佛研究中心前研究员谢幼田认为，中共纪念胡耀邦是明智的第一步，他相信中共也会提高对赵紫阳的定论：谢幼田：“现在讲到中国共产党的历史，好像就是从毛泽东，到邓小平到江泽民，那80年代的总书记胡耀邦到哪儿去了？赵紫阳到哪儿去了？这又是一种对历史的严重歪曲。 “胡耀邦是中国共产党的良心，中国共产党人应该学习他。你想遏制贪污，人们内在的道德觉悟是非常重要的。胡耀邦的功绩能够重新肯定，我相信对赵紫阳也是second,也是这样走的。任何一个政党如果不能适应社会发展，不往前走的话，当然历史是无情的。所以现在往前走，把胡耀邦提出来的话，是很积极，会有多方面结果的。” 中国政治如何发展？中日两国领导人是不是能像胡耀邦时代那样彼此悉心培育友好关系？在目前日本人回忆胡耀邦的时候，都成为议论的焦点。 (http://www.dajiyuan.com) 12/9/2005 9:11:09 PM

China's Treasure Artist 林風眠 Lin Feng Mian 1900 -1991

2006-10-12T01:55:00.000-07:00

近現代林風眠　秋山圖

Autumn Mountain

by NeoModern Lin FengMian 中國的國寶林風眠香江第三勢力的自由藝術家

National Treasure in Their Humane and Free Spirit Hong Kong Third Power Free Artists

Apolitical expressionist 父親談及林風眠﹐總有無限的深摯的藝術家的激賞。如今我才明白他那深厚的中原人的隱藏不語的難言之隱﹐是對林風眠有無限的同情。畢生的尋求﹐精神寄託是在丹青裡﹐揮灑他對母親懷念﹐一個少數民族被漢族給驅逐出村﹐而被賣到遠方﹐使母子無法再見面。

When my father talked about Lin Fengmien, he had a very deep thoughtful look. Only now, I understand his China Proper habit of a humanity not spoken. A sympathy of the unspeakable pain, only silence can express just like we moan with complete motionless.

His art in highest altitude, with such an unimaginable painful incidence that his mother was a minority ethnic in Guangxi province, and married to his old father, and was expelled after his father passed away due to her dating other man. Though saved her from being burned as a witch, he was holding a knife as a 7 year old to protect her, she was sold out as a maid to other place, and was never seen ever again.

The only treasure that she left behind for the young 7 year old, was the technique to paint. This gave him the impetus and reason, most importantly the basic element of a good painting, the passion to express.

So Lin became the greatest painter for the 20th century in China. 母親傳下來的唯一財產就是教過他丹青技藝，林風眠後來選擇的人生道路可謂對母親永恆的紀念。他的抽象思維畫﹐“水漫金山”﹐就是替母親伸張正義﹐解救被鎖在塔下的母親。被囚禁的生靈。林風眠的水漫金山為廣西壯族受趕出母親的永遠的悲切母親給他的是丹青以畫來追憶其母 Lin Feng Mian 1900 -1991, born in Mei Xian county, Canton. His grandfather was a carpenter, and he studied calligraphy, and Chinese painting. At age 18, Lin went to France under the scholarship work program and studied oil painting. Later, Lin went to Germany, to study classic art, and was interested in modern and impressionism. Lin returned to China in 1925 and served as the Beiping National art school president. Late 1920s, he was the Hangzhou Art school’s president. 林風眠(1900—1991)出生在廣東省梅縣一個農民家庭。祖父是一位木匠，林風眠小時候給祖父當助手，並學習書法和中國畫。18歲的時候，林風眠赴法國勤工儉學，開始學習油畫。後來，他又到德國，對歐洲古典繪畫大師十分敬仰，同時，對後期印象派、現代諸流派也懷有濃厚的興趣。1925年，林風眠回國，任北平國立藝術專科學校校長。20年代末，他又轉任杭州藝專校長。40年代後期，他離開教學工作，潛心從事創作。　　林風眠在青年時代主張為人生而藝術。他從歐洲留學期間所帶回的作品就是用寫實手法表現的主題性巨幅油畫，如《摸索》，描寫了以荷馬為首的世界各國先哲跟隨其共同探索人生真諦的內容。1925年，他創作了國畫《生之欲》，畫中4只老虎，兩大兩幼，從蘆葦中奔出，意取叔本華詩句，並吸收了嶺南畫派的表現手法。這幅畫送往巴黎參加萬國工藝美術博覽會，並且成為他從油畫向國畫的轉折點。中西融合--林風眠 His art is a combination impression of the Chinese and the West. 　　林風眠是「中西融合」這一藝術理想的倡導者、開拓者和最重要的代表人物。他吸收了西方印象主義以後的現代繪畫的營養，與中國傳統水墨和境界相結合，並融入了個人的人生經歷。是已經接近了「東西方和諧和精神融合的理想」的畫家。受到學界泰斗蔡元培的賞識與提攜，成為我國第一所高等藝術學府——國立藝術院（今中國美術學院前身）的首任院長。是中國現代美術教育的主要奠基者之一，主張「兼容並包、學術自由」的教育思想，不拘一格廣納人才。培養出李可染、吳冠中、王朝聞、艾青、趙無極、趙春翔、朱德群等一大批藝術名家。 Academia Sinica founder, great scholar Cai YuanPei appointed him to be the national art school’s president and became the modern art education’s main founder. To give the academics free spirit in education. He raised great artists such as Li Keran, Wu Guanzhong, Zhao Wu Ji etc. . 二十年代，尚在弱冠之年的林風眠先生負笈留學巴黎，自他歸國辦學及至成為名滿天下的丹青大師，都不曾重履故土，家鄉舊事對林風眠來說是一個揮之不去的夢魘。故此，作為中國現代美術的奠基人之一，林風眠在五四新文化運動中獨樹一幟，他的作品與思想充滿著對人性人道的終極關懷，他代表的是一種個性解放的自由精神。林風眠與徐悲鴻、張道藩同期在法國留學，而林與徐、張雞犬相聞，老死不相來往，當時留法的周恩來、葉劍英則和林風眠過從甚密。林和葉劍英同為梅縣客家人，林鄉情雖泯，人情卻濃；至於周恩來曾在林的巴黎寓所投宿，也接受過林的米飯與錢物接濟。然而，近朱者不赤，如此緣分，林風眠居然從未對共產主義信仰產生過興趣。 Lin was with famed artists like Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daofan. Zhou Anlai, Ye Jianying was in close contacts with Lin Fengmien. But Lin was never interested in communist beliefs. 加上林先生性格散淡，不事權貴，他在國民黨時代已被當局冷落。更為關鍵的是，他和注重美育的大賢蔡元培氣味相投，並聯手創辦了杭州西湖藝專。 Lin was already ignored by the nationalist and they were simply into art, and created with Cai Yuan pei, Hangzhou West Lake Art school. 蔡因持反蔣立場，最招蔣介石憎厭，後終被蔣所逐，連同林風眠的藝專校長之職也一並遞奪，改由張道藩出任。 Cai was anti-Chiang and was ousted by Chiang, and robbed the Lin FengMien’s art school’s president’s position, and Chiang appointed Zhang Daofan. There was another group of people, above both the communist and the nationalist, they were the free spirited alliance artists or the statesmen. Cai Yuan Pei, and Lin Feng Mien. Lin Feng Mian 1900 - 1991 just an ultimate humanitarian artist who is the number one master in the one hundred years depiction impression of China. 二十世紀已成昨日，百年回眸，誰是中國美術藝壇領導群倫的大宗師？他就是林風眠。文革中林風眠以“間諜罪”陷獄五年，經周恩來施援手而獲救，1979年林風眠申請移居港，經葉劍英親自批準，林得以離開大陸，在港定居至1991年去世。 Hong Kong is a buffer for the Third Power, and the Third Art

海邊

作詞：莊奴　

作曲：湯尼

Sea Shore Lyrics: Zhuang Nu Composer: Tangni

我從海邊走過

留下了腳印幾個

那潮水捲起浪花

把我的腳印淹沒 I walked past the sea shore Left several footprints That surging tides tossed up some waves flowers

To cover my footprints

遙望大海藍天

想起了一首情歌

那海水迷惑著我

把愛的歌聲失落 Gazing into the distant big ocean and blue sky Suddenly I remember a love song That sea water perplexes me And I lost the sound of love

你曾問我心愛的是什麼

祇怪當時不瞭解

是你關心我 Once you asked me What is my most treasured at heart loved Only I was baffled at the moment That was your caring

我從海邊走過

憶起那往日歡樂

那潮水捲起浪花

把歡樂變成寂寞 I walked by the sea shore Remembering those happy days The tides curving up the wave flowers

To turn those loud fun to loneliness

Rep. Tom Reynolds Top Aide Resigned Today

2006-10-04T22:23:00.000-07:00

Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., talks with first lady Laura Bush at a fundraiser in Amherst, N.Y., Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2006. Reynolds Tuesday denied knowing what his top aide might have done on behalf of a disgraced lawmaker Mark Foley in the days before Foley resigned following revelations of sexually explicit messages sent to underage male pages.

Following Foley’s resignation on Friday, today Oct 4, Wednesday, Reynolds’ top aide, Fordham also resigned for a link to Foley. Today, Laura is in New York to help Tom Reynolds while her husband is on a Western tour. "President Bush is coming out here not to help California but to do fundraising in California. So there's no reason for me to meet him because I am attending to business," Schwarzenegger said. Indeed, we Californians feel Bush has been very ‘cold blooded’ toward us. This is because last time when he came to visit in California, right after a rain storm, amidst surging torrid and sliding mudslide, while President Bush enjoyed with his entourage touring, he refused to show any concern over the bloated levees. Finally, the governor was fed up and stopped his begging to look for self-help.

東窗事發 Detective Version of Why the Press Was Ordered Out

2006-10-03T22:39:00.000-07:00

東窗事發

East Window Affairs Revealed

Lurid Congressional e-mail Scandal and Ethics Fallout in Washington While I was in China, the CNN story broke out that Congressman Mark Foley resigned due to the lurid email scandal that was between the Congress pages minor and him. As a bill drafter who made into law that defending the family values and the junior minor’s proper conducts, this turns to be the ultimate joke. Melanie Sloan, Executive director, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said that in fact, that they turned in the report to the FBI since July 21st portends to a bigger scandal involved in D.C. The who, when and what about the case of the Congressman’s sending lurid email to minor has yet to unfold. This destroys the trust high prestige system the American parents have toward the Congress as they send their junior high youth to be trained in the Capitol Hill. So apparently this man is gay and it is a wide open knowledge, this does implicate the House Speaker Dennis Hastert as he must have covered up his subordinate’s aggressive and often non-ethical standard behavior. Rep. Ray Lahood (R), Illinois, who is close to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, in this matter, he says, “This program is antiquated, and flawed under Democrats and Republicans.” Rep. Robert Wexler (D) Florida, says “Why has Attorney General Gonzales not investigated since May or June? If it was the democrats, they would have.” So Hastert refuses calls to step down over Foley scandal. Where does the buck stop? Should Bucks stop at the Boss, the speaker? As a detective sleuth minded person, I would ask a fundamental question: If it is a behavioral pattern of Dennis Hastert to safeguard the crime, not the value system, then he should step down. Irregardless the party affiliation, one should not be so loyal to the Republicans no matter what rights and value he violates. Something must be up when the press suddenly was ordered to evacuate the White House, after President Bush asked Josh Bolten to court the press as he took on his position as Chief of Staff. The White House correspondents have abused the power to be in the entourage, in the same hotel, and trampled on the White House as if they are the queens and kings, and not the ethical group. The reason they were suddenly got ousted is possibly due to the FBI received on July 21st, the investigation and complaint from Melanie Sloan, Executive director, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. So we heard on August 2nd, that they were leaving as the last day, and they won’t be around, until March. This is very unusual for a remodeling a room to take that long. So admittedly, there may be an unruly scandalous press behavior that needed the First Lady’s presence to say farewell to the press, as she is warning the aggressive special privileged press to be on the look out for their lurid messaging and behavior. As one reporter might be trying to implicate the President by reporting “President said privately, and in public as well...” One suspects that she is speaking the truth, and the president is lying, or she is inflating her own status by lying and the president is clean. Anyway, God seems to be on the dirty people’s case, Hastert is from Illinois and so is this girl’s school and Foley is from Florida, resigned, debunked, so is this girl’s family. So it looks like God is trying to demote her, while the president trying to promote her still. In the end, God is always superior to the King.

Nationalist on the Great Wall 長城回憶錄

2006-10-02T18:38:00.000-07:00

Nationalist Paying Tribute to the Ming Dynasty Great Wall Defense

僅代表國民黨故舊﹐

向明長城國防致崇高敬意

江山是如此多嬌﹗

“How Beautiful is Our Land!” - Phrase on a large painting in the Great Hall of the People

Nationalist Free Mind looking out from the Great Wall toward China, at the Ju Yong Pass 國民黨自由主義者由長城面朝中國瞻望居庸關, 一夫當關﹐萬夫莫開.

明朱元璋懼怕元順帝捲土重來﹐撥鉅款修築﹐

早在春秋戰國時期﹐燕國便於此設防。 At Ju Yong Guan Pass, the saying is “With one soldier guarding the pass, ten thousand enemies cannot break in”.

Ming dynasty founder emperor Zhu Yuan Zhang worried that Yuan Mongols would have a resurgence after controlling China for 90 years, from 1277 to 1368, and he strengthened this border pass with a huge allocation of funds. During the Chun Qiu and Zhan Guo Warring States era, Yan country already started the defense on the Ju Yong Sai Border.

Great Wall Memoir I speak for all the patriotic minds, spirited soldiers and generals of China in their heroic defense for the freedom of the great Chinese civilization with a powerful anchor of China Proper, by China Proper, and for China Proper. “Evolution may have erased many of the original works, but the traces of love are left for the gentle to discern.” by Elizabeth Chuang Su, descendant of China Proper 長城回憶錄長城英勇將兵們何等光榮的任務為了自由而戰鬥謀取福祉而雄峙

Great Wall Memoir

The generals and the soldiers of the Great Wall, this is a memoir for you

Profile of the just and the brave

How glorious is you mission, you fought for freedom

You are magnificently situated on the cliff to look out for the betterment of the people

保衛民族生存權力扛下綿延中華命脈

To safeguard the survival rights of a civilization

You shoulder the long line of the Chinese cultural heritage

江山代有勇者出留下丹青照汗青

Every dynasty and generation has brave men that emerge

To leave your red heart to be reflected in the records of the history

I write this memoir for you

只問坦然天高魂不做夷平地下奴

I would rather fight and be a lofty soul in heaven

Than be a flattened earth conquered slave

Beijing Excellent Trip

2006-09-26T18:21:00.000-07:00

CCTV has a way of broadcasting great mind-opening programs. As we arrived with jet lag and were watching programs in the wee hours, there was a Jiangxi Tao mountain pictures program which showcased glacial era rock formations, I believe, led to the earliest Taoist human development. This encore une fois (one more time) bravo TV program gave another marvelous show on the the First Emperor of China. It gave the jade dark green with the China Proper architecture, set in Xian, wood palaces. After 20 years since 1988 as the museum head of the Terra Cotta warriors, archeologist Yuan Muyi, gave his insights and the interview let him flow out his words after years of dedicated works, every word rings historic remarks that are not from text books. This innovative remarks come from comprehension of his works, I have similiar words and thoughts to say about Shang dynasty vs Zhou dynasty as he has the words about Han dynasty vs Qin dynasty. My specialty in Shang generates from my own heritage and bloodline, it is innate to me and Zhou finished Shang, so that Shang was demonized and nothing but criticism of unkind cruelty. This is what expert on Qin culture, Yuan Muyi said about Han dynasty, that it was propaganda about a beautiful and graceful culutre, as the advanced technology and sculpture was ranked supertbly, that no thousands of artisans worked on such a magnificent scale ever on the world terrain. What he didn't say and I would like to tell Mr. Yuan Mu Yi is that China's Shang dynasty's bronze and artisans of Sculpture predated Qin dynasty. The Qin crown prince Su and his adviser General Meng Tian built up the Great Wall, by linking multitudes of regional walls. From Qin dynasty relics (Qin is at the end of Zhou dynasty), I can see the Shang palace, and the color, architecture is all there. I like Qin Shi Huang, because I love Chinese, and China Proper and once it was able to rein in its art, military to the splendid level. Qin unified China, and the bloodline of China Proper. Its beauty was never again to rein itself on its proprietary domain, and its descendants and works of art is to leave traces only in Kyoto and enclaves of foreign lands, never to be on its soil. Once China was still not yet in one China, it has the very deep line and cultural distinction, from the border that separated Qin culture to Chu China Proper culture.

Autumnal Equinox 秋色連波 The Autumn is Coloring Wave after Wave

2006-09-24T17:21:00.000-07:00

On the first day of Autumn, I remember the Northern Soong great beautiful poem 范仲淹,字希文，北宋政治家，文學家,蘇州吳縣人

蘇幕遮（怀舊), 范仲淹

碧云天，黃葉地。秋色連波，波上寒煙翠。山映斜陽天接水。芳草無情，更在斜陽外。黯鄉魂，追旅思。夜夜除非，好夢留人睡。明月樓高休獨倚。酒入愁腸，化作相思淚。

Su Drape Cover (Missing Old Days)

by Fan Zhong Yan, Northern Soong, statesman, literature scholar of Jiangsu, Suzhou

Cloud green day, yellow leaf ground Autumn coloring waves after waves Cold frost smoky green on wave Mountain reflection sun set to connect the heaven to water No more emotion with the fragrant grass Still outside of the the slanting sun Dark country home soul Just travelling thoughts pursuit Night after night is otherwise Good dream saves for you to sleep Bright moon tall building don't lean alone on the rail The wine gets into your worrying intestine And it turns into missing you tears

Dixie

2006-09-16T23:56:00.000-07:00

The song "Dixie" was written in 1859 by a Northerner, and was used in minstrel shows, in which whites played black characters, because black performers were prohibited. The song describes a freed slave who misses his former life as a slave. This song was popular with the Southerners because of its use as political propaganda, and became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy.

Sheet music depicting a minstrel show.

The origin of the name "Dixie" is not known for certain, but one theory is that it originated with the $10 bills issued in New Orleans, Louisiana banks and printed in French. "Dix" means "Ten" in French.

I wish I was in de land ob cotton, Old times dar am not forgotten; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. In Dixie Land whar I was born in, Early on one frosty mornin, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Old Missus marry "Will-de-weaber," Willium was a gay deceaber; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. But when he put his arm around'er, He smilled as fierce as a forty-pound'er, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

Dar's buck-wheat cake an 'Ingen' batter, Makes you fat or a little fatter; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Den hoe it down an scratch your grabble, To Dixie land I'm bound to trabble. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

Flag Changing Day for the Nationalists 1928 東北易幟 Northeast Flag Replacement

2006-09-06T07:01:00.000-07:00

Flag of the Republic of China, 1928 to present

Beiyang Government's "Five Color" flag, 1912-1928.

Wikipedia gives precise historical information.

From Wikipedia's list of newest articles: Chinese reunification (1928), better known in Chinese history as the Northeast Flag Replacement is a historical term that refers to Zhang Xueliang's announcement in December 29, 1928 on replacing all banners of Beiyang Government in Manchuria to the flag of the Nationalist Government, thus nominally uniting China under one state.

Note: This is perceived as a unification day because the flags were all changed to one flag. Throughout Chinese history it has always been split and reunited, now the issue is reuniting between the Nationalists and the Communists, to come up with one flag that will be accepted by all. No one has forgotten about the history and the Nationalists, rejoice. The world has the capability to know what happened. I’m proud of being a Nationalist descendent and to see that the recognition of the proper history is done on the website of our modern day electronic Encyclopedia press, Wikipedia webpage. It gives an accurate reflection of the historical events on any particular day. The Nationalists were one of the world’s first to implement the up to date news system, in which new stories are continually updated and roll across the screen, this was done before China Sina, U.S. Capitol News, Wikipedia, Google, etc. Though retreating to the island of Taiwan, they had the most innovative new thinkers and media organizations to implement one of the world’s first versions of electronic media up to date news, only now it becomes available to the US high tech minded readers. For anybody interested in world timely news, geo-political news, it is of foremost importance to have the right tools, sources of information, data on hand, whether it is the Mexican election, assemblage of all electronics news, by writers for major newspapers such as New York Times, Washington Post, Australian news, BBC, Chinese News, all part of the web net to grasp the incoming data, and enable to see the world. Comments: Keep up with the good traditions. Discover the virtues that have been buried. Don’t give up the Democratic system in the Republic of China in Taiwan. Reunite and go back to China. But do make reforms!

花洲書院, 南陽郡, 北宋范仲淹

先天下之憂而憂,後天下之樂而樂

這是我河南南陽老家的景緻﹐請大家欣賞﹐北宋范仲淹在此設立花洲書院, 南陽郡鄧州.

很高興國內建設的頗具高水準文化觀。

1046年9月15日他在此寫下千古名篇《岳陽樓記》。“先天下之憂而憂,後天下之樂而樂” This is Nanyang prefecture’s one county; Deng Zhou’s famed college, set up by Northern Soong great statesman Scholar Fan Zhong Yan, Hua Zhou College. Flower Oasis Continent. I am very happy to see the restoration of the Historical site by the Chinese government. 1046, September 15, Fang Zhong Yan wrote this immotal Yue Yang Lou Ji, Yue Yang Building Memory: “Before the world worry, you take precaution; after the world takes pleasure and you relax and enjoy” This etched on every Chinese man’s soul, and particularly ringing in every one’s moral and instills the officials to work before the people, and to take pleasure the last. 北宋紹聖二年（1095年），範仲淹的四子範純粹任鄧州知州，整修了花洲書院。從南宋至明朝，花洲書院屢圮屢修，曾為鄧州州學。《嵩陽書院》記載：元朝時，曾作翰林院編修的蒙古族乃賢，“世居南陽，曾遊學花洲書院”。明嘉靖、萬歷年間，知州張仙、夏忠等相繼對書院進行整修。到了清朝，歷任知州更加重視整修花洲書院，辦學規模越來越大。花洲書院始建於宋代慶歷年間，北宋著名政治家、軍事家、文學家、教育家、思想家範仲淹任鄧州知州期間創建了書院內講學堂——春風堂、藏書樓、齋舍，並在書院東側創建百花洲，重修覽秀亭，構築春風閣，花洲書院因百花洲而得名。中院和後院正房及廂房設醫聖張仲景. Hua Zhou College is famous because of the 100 flowers oasis and like the continent flowers. Central Hall has China’s saint doctor, local great man Zhang Zhong Jing statue.

Town Hall Meeting

2006-08-22T21:08:00.000-07:00

I went to see the town hall meeting for our local Congressman. He is a very likeable person and the meeting was educational. He is friendly and sincere, not overly cocky or slippery. Although compared to my grandfather, he is a lot less flamboyant; my grandfather was charismatic and a high achiever. Concerning education, about what is wrong with the No Child Left Behind plan, is that some schools simply have students who are illiterate in English and their test score will flunk these students and drag down the funding for education, this only reinforces the failure rate. Regarding housing, existing military housing cannot be used for low income housing because it does not satisfy building code, but probably the truth is that local developers would not want it to stifle their profit margin.

Singing about Su Zhou River Bank

蘇州河邊

作詞：姚敏　作曲：姚敏

夜留下一片寂寞

河邊不見人影一個

我挽著你你挽著我

　暗的街上來往走著

夜留下一片寂寞

　河邊只見我們兩個

星星在笑　風兒在妒

　輕輕吹起我的衣角

我們走著迷失了方向

　儘在暗的河邊徬徨

不知是世界離棄我們

　還是我們把他遺忘

夜留下一片寂寞

　世上只有我們兩個

我望著你　你望著我

　千言萬語變作沉默

By the River of Soochow, Shanghai The night leaves a place of quiet isolation By the river side, don’t see one human shadow I link your arm, you link my arm In the dark street we are walking back and forth The night leaves a place of quiet isolation By the river side just see two of us The stars are smiling The wind is envious It gently blows up the corner of my clothes We are walking, walking and lost our direction Only linger aimlessly in the dark river bank Don’t know if the world deserts us Or we forget the world The night leaves a place of quiet isolation The world only just two of us I look at you You look at me Thousand of words become speechless

討論「現代高科技與藝術的關係」 We had a very pleasant day at Central Computer Building in Santa Clara courtesy of Mr. Saul Yeung with a symposium of art forum, and display of paintings. It was such a joyful day to be with the artists and high tech business leaders. Many professors’ comments are like pearls of wisdom. Mr. Yeung mentioned that Venice was a great seaport and the commerce there supported art. When I traveled to Florence, I could understand that as the Medici family supported artists and helped to create Renaissance, Florence became a center of art, this is a very good topic and location to discuss about technology and art in Silicon Valley. Some of them are my good friends, and I took lessons together with them, though my ideals have not been put to canvas just yet. Perhaps in a little while, I will display my works.

Blair and Pristine Pebble Beach

7th Hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links

In the woods, the deer are passing freely. A relative of telegraph inventor Morse developed this corner of the land for golfing and the Lodge, where Hollywood stars greeted a tranquil enclave. The British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited here on July 30 to give a News Corp. group a speech on the new global thinking and direction in reordering the business milieu. Il ne fault pas restriction. Both Bush and Blair are proponents of free trade and oppose protectionism, however Bush often compromises his principles for political reasons. We should not use the restraint to limit the Laissez faire spirit.

Beautiful Lovers’ Day

2006-07-31T19:07:00.000-07:00

A beloved singing icon, Teresa Teng, singing "Go take a look, the moon represents my heart."

Today is July 31st, July 7th in the Chinese Lunar calendar. It is the day for the heavenly cowboy and weaver girl to meet at the heaven river galaxy. It is said that tonight all the larks are gone. They all fly to build a bird bridge to let them pass the river and meet. It is also said, this night will rain. It is their happy tears when they meet again. No doubt this is the most romantic festival of the year and in the four seasons. It is referred to as “Chinese lovers’ day”. This is a legendary story known to every family. This night, people will go outdoors to look up at the night sky. To seek the Cowboy star and the weaver girl star to pass the river to see each other.

In Memory of Grandmother, Lady Yan

2006-07-24T21:55:00.000-07:00

Grandmother, several summers ago, I never forgot that cloudless sky but with one sole beautiful gentle fuchsia cloud looking down to accompany me, as I said farewell to you in Chicago. She contributed to my being a lady with inner strength. A very generous person and being a judge’s daughter, the aristocratic manners didn’t diminish her self-esteem throughout the wartime hardship. Grandmother, could you love me again and be my protector in another life?

After Song was finished, he was working in the Yuan Dynasty court. Not only did he make great achievements in the Arts, in the political arena he was also celebrated. He was able to fight against the corrupt officials, and was liked and commended by people.

You Can Go Home Again

2006-07-14T19:01:00.000-07:00

I’m missing home, but can I go back again? Where is my home? I think I will be happy to go visit Grandfather’s hometown, grandmother’s hometown, and Dr. Zhu Jiahua’s hometown. I don’t travel on a World Class level such as Air Force One, but what I discover and learn will make me a Global Knowledge Titan Class. I’m very glad that I went back to my father’s hometown. It is such an idyllic place. I can forget all sorrow.

Bereavement for a Dead Cowboy

2006-07-13T22:47:00.000-07:00

President Bush has been repeatedly admonishing that the US should not rely on foreign oil, but he puts the new reliance on foreign nuclear fuel and us attempting to sign America’s interests away. Many senators are against his signing an agreement with Putin during the G-8 summit for the fuel. Bush had a recent fun trip to boost Senator DeWine and dispatched his wife to Indiana. For a couple, it is necessary sometimes to go separate ways to be more efficient at raising campaign funds. On the excuse of campaign fund raising, the private affairs can also take place with unbridled desire. This takes precedence also at his birthday, when he apparently didn’t stay with his wife, but his White House Correspondence, nickname, little servitude press, to the State where she went to school. On the Fourth of July, Bush acted so cowardly in responding to the national security threat from North Korea at the West Coast, that it shocked the world, and Time Magazine termed it a ‘End of Cowboy Diplomacy’. He acted not as George W. Bush, but as if he was reduced to a puppet of some sort, with a deranged mind to simply count how many missiles, without knowing how many were coming, or whether they could hit the U.S., it looks like he gave up his identity of the U.S. President. China recently announced that they want America to respect them on the foreign policy, because their missiles can reach Washington, Paris, and Madrid.

I Spent a Day with the U.S. President – Herbert Hoover

2006-07-08T22:43:00.000-07:00

As if President Hoover will walk out of his paintings and help me. In this great era, Democrats and Republicans all need to reform and redefine of America’s future role in the new world order, with China rising as new elements in reconstructing because they are recovering from Mao’s failed economic policies. America is in a burst of social philanthropic works by the corporate executives, with Gates, Buffett, Paulson, and many to come. This rise of giving away money is a reflection of the aftermath of overabundance in cash and in the search for real substance in life, in particular, in relieving the pain, for the states have failed to do so. One of the Presidents that I believe I love with deep feelings. I love Kennedy first, and love Hoover for his philanthropic works, and his unique experiences in China, and their philanthropic relief attitude about mankind. A unique soul in embarking on geology in Stanford’s first class, he also met his soul mate, his wife as his schoolmate and the only woman in the field, together they completed his life’s projects. Both of them were from Iowa, and she lived in Monterey which has the cool air and gave a calm and rational thinking. They got married in Monterey and headed toward China in 1899 right before the Boxer Rebellion era. Though he helped the Robber Barons in China, he later became a great philanthropist during WWI. In August 1914, Belgium was invaded and occupied by Germany. The British blockaded all German occupied territories and subjected the Belgian people to starvation. Hoover organized the Committee for Relief of Belgium, which fed 11 million people, and his relief works saved many lives under the immunity. This made him a popular public figure, so that he later was elected president.

Unlike Bernanke who crashed 10% of the market with his new artificial policy, the 1929 stock market crash was not triggered by Hoover. Bernanke will have a hard time to face the second market 10% crash, as he would give to people no more benefit of the doubt as to his ability, and will be forced to step down in our time and era to monitor the government management under sharp scrutiny. As a geology engineer, his other earth works were Hoover Dam which employed many dust bowl people in the gigantic public works.

Hoover reminds me a Chinese great geologist who had helped China to advance and protect China's sovereignty, how I wish he was the president of China to save us from all this misery.

A person that was Hoover's counterpart in China also had an interest and degree in Geology, Ph.D. He helped to excavate the Shang Dynasty Relics with the employment of the first scientific methodology in China; his first love was the science institute; his education toward the young; his organizational talent all pointed toward being a great President. But his lack of schemes made his and China's fate fall into miserable hands. Grandfather was part of his line and could well be the President of China too.

Many people were under their tutelage, but they only enriched themselves and set up enterprises for themselves, rather than developing bigger projects for the nation. That is the weakness and fatality of the Chinese Nationalist, not to mention how the Communists have been in eroding their presence.

The theory to latch on the Chinese Nationalist's remarkable love and talent in defending a teetering country, and to reinvent the Communist New China Machine is the foremost task in China behind all the smoke screens of the economic projects.

To this day, only the very top tier management can appreciate this view, as their understanding of both the nationalist de facto Central Daily and Communist's Renmin People's Daily are both extinct species, with deficit and commands no interest by the people.

This is a new virgin terrain and unchartered domain of bridging both parties and win the endorsement by the people.

So Hoover’s philanthropic work on a large worldwide scale has caught on finally, now it has become a fad again suddenly.

On the Celebration of July 4th

2006-07-04T13:26:00.000-07:00

On the Celebration of July 4th America is an asylum to anchor the homeless, and refugees from broken nations like me. Japan is a lost cousin of China from Tang dynasty. Taiwan is a lost son from China Proper, the China Central State. Korea is a lost half-brother from China. So, no one should attack United States anywhere, because the lost citizens from elsewhere were expelled to America although they had contributions toward their motherland. Missile testing, to attack Northcom, to attack north, west, central, east, or south, all are not justified. I am researching the Japanese language; it is a Tang dynasty resurrection. It is Chinese sentiment in a Japanese veneer. Japanese committed war crimes, and we need to help the lost cousins to realize the human tolls and it is a tragic to others and self, this includes China, Korea, Americans, and others, but mostly, Japan itself. Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman and Marshall, had a skewed view about human dignity, and they believed that one region was better than the other. In their mode of operandi, in letting Japan take on the force of democracy, and letting Western Europe be in the same camp, they sacrificed Chinese and East and Central Europe. Huge pain collectively in both the communist domain and non-communist domain, the space exploration of Star Trek, brought the endeavor of a young country to a halt. It is a pity. The cold war needs not to resurface. When your country is still poor, you need to open up in a gesture that others can accept. I mean that North Korea should try to learn from China’s experience. China should not let Russia take $96 billion for a defunct State entity which promises oil reserves in a very long shot. While China gave the US $16 billion to attempt to quiet the mouth of the opposition, some senators are not ‘satisfied’ in addition to Senator Lindsey Graham. Money toward George W. Bush means everything, but not toward the rest of America.

I pick up pieces

萱草【xuāncao】 tawny day-lily.

In Chinese, this plant symbolizes mother

中国的母亲花萱草

香椿【xiāngchūn】 <植> Chinese toon (Toona sinensis) In Chinese, the Toon Tree is the symbol of father

"See Xu Gu Off":

I know you are leaving with heavy emotions

The Chun Toon tree and Xuan grass gentle mother lily grass in the high formal hall (symbolizing the parents residing in the high formal hall)

Your parents are sitting in the ancestral hall with full white hair like snow

I pick up pieces Two family members went to 早稻田大學 the best Japanese university Waseda to study. That was such challenging era. Here I am, begin to pick their pieces and revisit Japanese. A Number One Song in 1963 American translation of “Sukiyaki” is Hot pot Although there is no connection at all with the original song That is how I feel; grandparents and I miss all my loved ones! These poetic lyrics are depicting a passionate soul missing all the loved ones. Perhaps it is possible to savor the loss of loved ones and as a universal value and emotion. It was a demarcation line to Star Trek to navigate in search of the new order for the American adventures and in the pursuits, how many were lost? A science project in the 60s, the lost Star Trek, a lost feeling for mankind’s direction. An expedition in the world without the cold war. A brighter and happier desire to see the unified family was a remote and impossible dream for my father to see his father. So he was so all alone on the pavement to think of his family torn beyond the sky. Sukiyaki (I Walk Alone and Look Up) Translated by Elizabeth Su (Japanese to English) I Look Up When I walk My tears are flowing down A spring night out by myself I look up as I stroll out so my tears will not fall down The stars are blinking Still there is one soul in the summer night Fortune to have clouds blessing me in the sky As I walk I look above My tears are shedding I am crying by myself All just one soul in the autumn night The stars are sad With me the moon spilling that feeling When I walk alone I look up Crying so in a night alone Just one soul in this night 壽喜燒坂本九, Sakamoto Kyū written by Rokusuke Ei and Hachidai Nakamura. 上を向いて歩こう（すき焼き）上を向いて歩こう涙がこぼれないように思い出す春の日一人ぽっちの夜上を向いて歩こうにじんだ星をかぞえて思い出す夏の日一人ぽっちの夜幸せは雲の上に幸せは空の上に上を向いて歩こう涙がこぼれないように泣きながら歩く一人ぽっちの夜思い出す秋の日一人ぽっちの夜悲しみは星のかげに悲しみは月のかげに上を向いて歩こう涙がこぼれないように泣きながら歩く一人ぽっちの夜一人ぽっちの夜 Sukiyaki Released in Japan as "Ue O Muite Aruko" (I Look Up When I Walk) Ue wo muitearukou.Namidaga koborenai youniOmoidasu, haru no hiHitoribocchino yoru.Ue wo muitearukou.Nijinda hoshi wo kazoeteOmoidasu, natsu no hi,hitoribocchino yoru.Shiawase wa kumo no ue ni,Shiawase wa sora no ue ni.Ue wo muite arukou.Namidaga koborenai youninaki nagara,aruku, hitoribocchino yoru.Omoidasu, aki no hi,hitoribocchino yoru.Kanashimi wa hoshi no kageni,Kanashima wa tsuki no kageni.Ue wo muite arukou.Namidaka kobore naiyouni,Naki nagara, aruku,hitoribocchino yoru.Hitoribocchino yoru

Late Wind

2006-07-02T01:43:00.000-07:00

晚風作詞：黃霑　作曲：黃霑晚風中　有你我的夢風中借來一點時間緊緊擁擁的那個夢　像一陣風　像一陣風悠悠愛在風中輕輕送我心的愛　是否你心的夢可否借一條橋讓我們相通在這借來的橋中明天的我　明天的你會不會再像那天相擁今晚的風　和明天的夢到底在你心裡有多少影蹤是否這個晚上借來時間　借來晚風把我的愛送到你心中 Late Wind Lyrics, composer: Huang Zhan In the evening wind, it has your and my dream In it we borrow a little time to hug tight The held dream is like a breeze, like a breeze It is sent gently with love In my heart that love Is it your heart’s dream? Can we borrow a bridge to go through? In this borrowed bridge Tomorrow I and tomorrow you Will it be like that day’s embracing? This evening wind and tomorrow dream How many traces left in your heart? Can it be this evening? Borrow some time borrow some late wind To send my love into your heart Huang Zhan’s concert Huang Zhan was a Hong Kong talent in music score. In this production, he had the 100 traditional Chinese instruments. Chinese music in Hong Kong was much more developed in the 1950s to 2000. With the opening up of China, Beijing and Shanghai have taken on a more important role in musicianship. There was a time when Hong Kong was the only place that held the old Shanghai music productions, and Taiwan was very militaristic under Chiang’s martial law, and China was under Mao’s regime. The free air and art was prevalent in Hong Kong, and it was an oasis for the venue of our artistic hearts. The last president praised Elizabeth for singing so wonderfully. Elizabeth Su sang tonight for the memorial of many people, including Huang Zhan, her late artistic mother who loved to sing. This song also was sung by the star, Miss Yeh QianWen, the granddaughter of Ambassador George Yeh.

This year, the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Warren Buffett announced today that he will contribute most of his $42 billion for philantropic purposes, under the trusteeship of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Artistic Color of Money

2006-06-22T22:38:00.000-07:00

What do American men do with their money? It seems these days all the tycoons all become philanthropists. Bill Gates will be full-time philanthropist starting in 2008. Today John Edwards made a speech about eliminating poverty, a Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity Founder, so he becomes the founder of an anti-Poverty center. Treasury nominee Henry Paulson has created a legendary wealth in China. He is to sell Goldman Sachs stakes of $485 million. “Paulson, the highest paid chief executive on Wall Street, transferred about $100 million in Goldman shares to a charitable foundation on March 30 to donate to environmental causes. “ “He may sell up to $800 million of investments and use the funds to start a charity trust, the London-based Times reported on June 1, citing unidentified people at Goldman.” Compared to the best Chinese Nationalists, this may be the similarity. They dissolved and distributed their wealth and they served the country with graceful works.

Master Hong Yi and His Austrian Ambassador’s Piano Gift

Master Hong Yi and His Austrian Ambassador’s Piano Gift 弘一法師李叔同教過大姨婆﹐在南京高等師範學院。奧地利公使送給其父一架鋼琴﹐伴著他過寂寞的童年﹐但造就他寫譜作詞的才華。 Master Hong Yi, before he turned into a monk, taught art in Nanjing Teachers’ Model College. My great aunt was a college student there. My aunt had a Belarusian (translated as White Russian) piano teacher. Her piano became part of the fixture in the Austrian embassy. Just like the master Hong Yi, the Austrian ambassador gave his father a piano which accompanied his lonely childhood. But it has created China’s great passion musician and playwright. Wonder what kind of composition work would flow out if Wolfgang Mozart was ever able to come to China? 在杭州時﹐旅店供給兩瓶虎跑泉水﹐我嚐到最清涼甘甜的水。我懂他出家的因由。他選擇在虎跑泉出家﹐因其母葬於此。那泉水曾是他數日禁食的飲料。話劇藝術的先驅他把話劇茶花女引入中國﹐為何他男扮女裝演茶花女一角﹖我也明白根由﹐讀過他的傳﹐那是因為其母為小妾﹐他揣摩母親的討好年邁的父親心理﹐正如法國那茶花女是靠逢迎男人為生的﹐五歲時﹐七十歲的父親過世時﹐是在一片佛事往生唸經聲﹐他在僧人環境裡﹐會找到了最初的自己。 When I traveled in Hangzhou, the hotel gave us two bottles of Hu Pao Quan Tiger Running Fountain water. I tasted the cool and sweet water. I understood why he became a monk. He chose the site of Hupaoquan because his mother was buried there. He once was on a fast for days solely subsisting on the local fountain. He is the modern play’s pioneer. He played the lead role in Dumas’La Dame aux camellias, and produced it too. Why as a female lead role? I studied his biography and that is because he impersonated his mother as a young concubine in serving his aging father. Just like the French Camellia was making her living with humble servitude to men. He was barely five when his 70 year old father passed away in the chanting of Buddhism. So in the life of the monastery, he would eventually find his nascent self.

ROC Foreign Minister George Yeh, 1904-1981

2006-06-17T21:59:00.000-07:00

George Yeh Yeh Kung Ch’ao 1904 - 1981 It was such a beautiful summer day in San Francisco. A dream-like exhibit of the former foreign minister Yeh Gongchao (George Yeh)’s family collection of art in San Francisco's Asian Art Museum. It displayed most importantly the love exudes in the Yeh family, mutual friends, and family members all well versed, whether they are poems on the silk scrolls, or Ming Dynasty general Qi Qi Guang’s powerful writings, orchid, bamboo, rocks are in the minds of the intellectuals, statesmen, and aspirations for a nation and its people. Cultivation and art connoisseur runs deep in the family. He was house-arrested after 1961 by Chiang Kai-shek. From 1950 to 1958, he served as the ROC foreign minister, and from 1958 to 1961 he was the ambassador to the United States. We must credit to this man because he served at a time when dangerous wars and confrontations occurred, and he helped to wisely defuse the possible breakout of killings. It didn’t escalate into war and the animosity was deterred. There is a photo of him with Kennedy in 1961 or 1962. Kennedy also avoided war in Vietnam from the assessment, whereas his 2 years later, counterpart Johnson in 1965 was unable to. When we look back at history, we give calm thinking on these men and capable to distinguish the wheat from the chaff, and understand the mighty efforts from so quiet temperament, and not succumb to political rhetoric by tactless ambitions.

A Chinese Soldier’s Story

2006-06-12T23:46:00.000-07:00

A Chinese Soldier’s Story I am writing a great soldier’s story of how he defended China, liberated his counties from the capture, saved other provinces, saved the world, America, Russian, Korea etc., and then he was killed by the communists. That is a true story which illustrates the history of the highest integrity land and people, the land of the noble queen who was a beauty and philanthropist and assisted her husband to complete a great mission. This pair of emperor and empress is the ideal couple in China. This land is immortal. Perhaps that is going to touch the next U.S. President or the next Russian President, or the next British prime minister, most of all, it is releasing my passion about my men from a corner of the world that the world doesn’t know or understand, neither do they appreciate it, nor do they respect it. That is what makes my land immortal. It is not because I will be immortal but because of my works. On Great Men’s Corruption The world concentrates only on very few men’s faults, but let go of many. For example, a hero like General MacArthur is best that he didn’t become the U.S. president, though he was the boss for Eisenhower. This is because his reputation was marred by his mistress and he had to spend $15,000 to keep the Filipino quiet from the court witness. I think many great men in quagmire in their secret pursuit. How I wish the next president can have a clean conscience to help me complete some unfulfilled mission.

第一次發生愛情的人﹐ 雖未被人愛﹐卻還是一個神﹔ 但第二次發生愛情的人﹐ 依然徒勞﹐必定是個大傻瓜我--就是這樣的一個傻瓜﹐ 我又在愛著﹐沒有反應的﹔ 星星月亮太陽在微笑著﹐ 我同它們一起微笑--- 於是毀滅海涅 The first time you fall in love Though not being loved, it is a godly thing Second time it happens again for love Still futile, that means you are a fool I am--- such a fool I am in love, without reflective Star Moon Sun are all smiling So I’m smiling together Then toward the path of destruction Heinrich Heine A man’s love toward three women. Star, moon, and sun are symbolic in his life’s women. He is thinking of them looking up above the sky, starlight is twinkling, and moon is softening and tomorrow the sun will rise again. He doesn’t want to lose any. In the end, like Heine’s “I smile together with them ----- and to destructive perishing..”

Memorial to June Fourth and Premier Zhao Ziyang

Zhao Ziyang, Premier of China, 1983-1987, Born in Hua county, Henan Province

Memorial to June Fourth and Premier Zhao Ziyang With my deep pain, I memorialize a Henan man, Zhao Ziyang, who opposed Deng Xiaoping’s idea to squash the student protesters. Both Mao and Chiang Kai-Shek killed Jiangxi province soldiers unsparingly. These were all my dear Chinese youth’s sacred lives. China would have been much better off without Chiang Kai-shek and Mao, but only a few people dared to understand and to sponsor alternatives. Can anyone imagine China without Chiang or China without Mao? In fact, those two covered up all the great works that were done by so many graceful Chinese. My mission is to advise people to look beyond what they know. History is a story of the righteous and how they fought with their hands and brains. I will write many stories to advise China, US, and Taiwan on how to reconcile. My ideas are from many sides’ views and my own conclusions. Elizabeth
