jades and bronzes for ritual, luxuries for trade, ceramics for use

The British Museum has a wonderful collection of Chinese art, from the Neolithic to the early years of the 20th century, and this book uses the collection as an introduction to Chinese culture, and to the varied forms of art--bronzes, jades, pottery and porcelains, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, cloisonne, and lacquer work--that the evolving culture has produced for the past 5000 to 6000 years. The book opens with a very good but brief introduction to Chinese history and then surveys the various art forms. The color and black-and-white illustrations are glorious, and good choices have been made about the pieces to show in color (though one always wishes for more, especially in my case of Qing ceramics). I especially appreciate this more general information about various types of Shang bronzes or Qing ceramics, for example, and the detailed information about materials, techniques, and production.

Different forms of art have been influenced by great philosophers, teachers, religious figures and even political leaders

藝術作品，從來沒有新舊之分，只有好壞之分。一件好的作品，不管是古代或現代的創作，都會予人眼前一亮、歷久常新，不會過時或被湮沒。

Recently I get interested in a young Hong Kong singer, his name is Khalil, a strange name, isn’t it? He is a great singer-songwriter, I like almost all his songs. His music is R&B style.

Before Khalil, Xin is my favorite singer. I get crazy for him about four years. I have all his albums. The first song I listened is Stubborn. In that time, I’m a senior student in university. Stubborn moved me deeply. For that time, I became Xin’s big fan.

I think Xin is very handsome. I like his eyes and hairstyle. His song is very powerful. It gives me strength when I feel weak. When I listen to his music, I feel the world is full of hope, and love never leaves us. However, there are also some sad songs in his albums. As soon as I listen to his sad songs, I feel blue and gloomy. However, love is not always sweet, it also meets some problems, such as betray, separate, and cheat. In Xin’s music, you never feel hatred, he loves his lover, even she choose separate him. I think I’m cannot as open as him.

Khalil is a young singer. He has his own opinion in music. He works very hard and very talent. As a girl who likes all beautiful faces, I really like Khalil’s appearance. He usually wears a big pair of glasses with a black cap. He is very thin. I like man have slim figure. It looks so sexy. Mr.Q is also very slim. I usually worried about my figure. Maybe Mr.Q think I am a little fat.

Khalil is 25 years old. He born in Hawaii, when he 6 years old, his parents took him to Shanghai. In Shanghai, he came into a primary school. In the first three month, he couldn’t know what other people say. Because he didn’t knew Chinese at all. When he 14 years, he moved to Guangzhou with his parents. His father is a singer , he sings in pub. Khalil often went to pub

 

How funny! Many girls like me, but I'm female too. 

I receive a call few minutes ago. 是陳老師打來的。我以前在中央電視台實習時他是我的老師。經常帶我出去採訪。

我離開中央電視台後就很長時間沒有聯繫了。沒想到他會再打電話給我。他告訴我，在新疆會有一個很大的項目，想邀請我去。I don't tell him I will go abroad this year. 我們聊了一會兒，他忽然說， you are a good girl. 沒錯，I'm really a good girl, except have a bad temper. 好奇怪，他為甚麼這麼說呢？Maybe just encourage me. 可惜，他的那個項目我估計是去不了拉。sorry.

Does he really loves or not

对自己喜欢的人好，对自己不喜欢的人不好。

虽然自己喜欢的人可能并不喜欢自己

而自己不喜欢的人可能很喜欢自己

Many girls want to know, to marry a man who loves her or marry a man she loves?

I choose the man I love.

Maybe there will be inequality between us, for example, I pay all the time, but he only receives. It doesn't matter, I'm willing for.

Mr.Q will become older day after day. How sadly! He can't afford any strike. If he fall in love with me, and marry me,  but I leave him some day, he can not receive this strike. So, he is right, to keep distance with me, or treat me as a common friend. He likes me, but just like.

我應該理解他的做法。而不應該有抱怨。一個老人家，肯定不想晚年時遇到愛人離開這種事情。But I really don't know whether he loves me or not. 他把一切都隱藏太好。我真的不知道他是否喜歡我。Maybe he likes me, but only a little. 也有可能他喜歡我更多，但是我不敢相信。我這樣性格的女孩子從來都不敢輕易相信別人。活得很辛苦。If dear Mr.Q find out who am I, and what temple I have, it is no doubt to say, he don't love me any more.

I really desire freedom. I desire to control my life. I desire have enough money to live in a big city, maybe hk or shanghai. No work, no husband, only one or two close friends and myself. I really don't want to hurt others. I just want to stay alone.

This is my dream life. But it is difficult to become true. I have to find a job after graduate. To undertake heavy job, to get along with different people. How terrible! But I must earning money to buy apartment, car, clothes, and so on. I desire freedom, but I have to work.

But everyone need to work. 我也不能例外。雖然我在人際交往方面有障碍，但這並不是我不工作的理由。一個人如果不工作就不會成長，永遠像個小孩子。在現在的社會，只有有錢人家的孩子可以不工作，像Mr.Q的兒子。可縱然是Mr.Q的孩子，也是有工作的。像我這樣家裡沒有錢的孩子，更應該努力工作，賺錢養家。

所以自由是最寶貴的東西。一個人可以做他想做的事是多麼幸福。而我，一直在做自己不喜歡的事，被別人要求做的事。但是工作可以給我自由，有了薪水就可以做我想做的事，不用再受父母的控制。真可憐，這麼大了，還要用父母的錢。What a shame! 在這黎明前最後的黑暗，一定要忍耐、再忍耐，等讀完書，就可以工作了，就可以得到自由。就可以去想去的地方。和自己喜歡的人在一起。不過如果從事的是非常繁忙的工作，也許根本不會有空暇時間，那樣豈不是更悲慘？

剖白吗？

我建了一个可怕的组。。。

目前这个组的人数已经过千了。看着每个加入这个小组的孩子们说着一样的绝望的话，我真不知道如何是好。

Once I'm a girl who hate my parents and myself very much. I wanna to commit suicide for several times. I have a lot of reasons to do it. The most significant reason is my parents don't like me at all. My father like boys, but I'm a girl. My mother loves her husband, but he don't love her, so she full of angry, and hate her daughter-me. She really full of angry, her heart was fully occupied with hatred. She often quarreled with my father. How sadly my childhood was!

现在我长大了，但是身上还是带着不被爱的孩子的烙印。I think I have a lot of psychological problems. They troubled me very much. Although I'm a beautiful girl, but I have no confidence. In my mind, my parents born me, and then, destroyed me. I can't live like other common people. I have a lot of problems, I can't control my life. 

要说具体的例子吗？To me, have a bad temper is my worst infirmity. I often got angry with other people for little things. When I'm in bad temper, I speak loudly, and quarreled with others. Moreover, I have no sense of security. I usually afraid of lose something or somebody. When I fall in love, I often ask my lover: do you love me? would you leave me some day? He says :no. But I don't believe him. I can't stay together peaceful with others. I don't like get along with somebody for a long time. I prefer stay with myself.

这么多，也许并没有说清楚。我的性格不好，脾气也不好。而且有点封闭，only willing to stay with the closest friend or boyfriend, usually boyfriend. So, marriage is very significant to me. Because the husband is not only husband, but my friend.  Well, I don't know how to say. To me, my husband is not only husband, I also treat him as a close friend. So, I must choose someone who can tolerate me. I think Mr.Q is also face with this problem. He has no wife for thirty years, he can not stay with a female for a long time. He prefer to stay with himself. So, he told me many times that we can't live together. I think he is right. I also don't want live with him. I prefer stay alone either.

When I feel desperation, and wanna to commit suicide, I told myself, you already waiting for a long time, now, you only need a little patient, then, you will be successful. You can get freedom to pursue your own life. Why are you giving up before success?

 

正是这样狗血的信念让我坚持到现在。是啊，受了那么多年的苦，度过那么多年不开心的日子，马上就要解放了，怎么反而沉不住气了呢？但总觉人到这个世上，为了看阳光和月色，要承受那么多辛苦。我多么想放弃一切，单纯地生活。

The new blog named 伤城 (The Sad City)

I watched this film one year ago. I'm favor it so much. 

Although I do not think it is an outstanding film, however, it still moved me.

This film talk about a sad love story.

Jin have a beautiful girlfriend, he loved her very much. One day, when he back home, he found his girlfriend died, for commit suicide.

Jin fell into endless pain. He didn't know why his girlfriend choose commit suicide, in his mind, he thought she was a happy woman. He thought there must be another reason to caused his girlfriend suicided.

Jin is a detective. He decided to find out the true murderer. For a long time hard working, in the end, he found out the truth.

His girlfriend loved another man, and got pregnant. She can not faced her boyfriend-Jin, so she wanted to escape to another city with that man, but he refused. She felt very desperation, so she had to commit suicide.

I don't think get pregnant is desperate. Maybe Jin's girlfriend just felt disappointed and lose hope. She can't believe male. 

Anyway,這是個悲傷的故事，讓我印象深刻到如今。我想我不會為了愛情而自殺。不管我有多麼愛那個人。我始終相信下面還會遇到更好的更適合的人。

ps：用英文表達真是好尷尬，很多心中的意思都說不清楚。。。
