I don't celebrate any festivals because to me they are just waste of time and give people another excuse to take a day off or so. For example, tomorrow's Valentine's day, in fact I see this day asa day for lovers and not for couples. So... you know, it would be more meaningful if you have a lover and celebrate this day. And also for New Year, nothing special: just change a year and everything still goes on.

This weekend is carnival in North Brabant Province in the Netherlands. Everyone dress funny or costume. But this is also not a day for me. I am not that high for this kind of days.

Also for my birthday, I don't like to celebrate that because it only tells me that I am another year older... why people like to celebrate their birthday while they don't want others saying they areold? Strange!

Not suitable for business and work, or even school. Only for entertainments.

Who would need such thing if we already have a computer and a iPhone? ]]> https://ameblo.jp/yangxiaoxu/entry-10448202805.html Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:21:35 +0900
Baidu.com has the largest market share in search engine in P.R. China, and after Google.cn retreat, Baidu's market share will increase from 60% to 90%. Is this Google really want? Or Google is just a tool for some political games?

From a business perspective, Google.cn retreating is not a good movement, both for Google itself and as well as for Baidu. Sometimes a business, even a good one, need competition. And China needs global or international companies in the country. But now, the US government involved into this business activity and seems it's not just as simple as a business activity.

I personally prefer Google.cn not retreating. Although I don't use Google.cn but I do use Google.com. And I expect to use Google.cn when I am in China. But now, to be frank, if Google.cn is not willing to stay in China, I would rather using Baidu as my primary searching engine.

Get back to the original problem of Google today: why retreat? Other big companies being attach or being hacked all the time. Google.cn is not the first one and also not the only one. Why retreat? Only because of 30% market share, compare to Baidu's 60%? That would be stupid. Or, because of US government? That could be a reasonable one.

There are many people, both in China and outside of China, support Google's decision. But shouldn't a company obey the local law from where it does business? If you want to do your business in your way and which against the local law and regulations, you are welcomed to leave, isn't it? Which country doesn't do that?

To me, it's pitty that Google made its final decision. I would say 'I'm sorry but goodbye then.' ]]> https://ameblo.jp/yangxiaoxu/entry-10436087032.html Sun, 17 Jan 2010 04:11:36 +0900
Taiwan (Republic of China) is a country or not？ To answer this question we should first define what is a 'country'. Then compare the answer to Taiwan's current status, we would be able to say whether Taiwan is a country or not.

Today, despite of the political and economical issues, just focusing on the cultural, Taiwan is a place that China should consider deeply about its position. Taiwan kept lots and lots of traditional Chinese culture and life style that most Chinese people missed in mainland China. The way of writing, the way of speaking (not the pronunciation), the way of behave, etc.. All of these are concerned as Chinese culture.

I wish Taiwan could admit its part of China, but I also wish Taiwan could influence China on the traditional Chinese culture aspects. Because due to the Cultural Revolution during 1968-1976, almost every traditions in China had been distorted - which means we (the Chinese who living in Mainland China) lost our culture.

Today, when the Chinese talking about traditional culture, I felt so ashamed. What else culture we have left in China? I have to admit that while I am finding something about traditional Chinese culture nowadays at the present world, I would have to look at Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.

I am a Manchurian, I shouldn't be the one who should concerned about the traditional Chinese culture in China. But I, personally, wish there could be some changes in China - look at current Chinese culture, do we keep the good stuffs? or we found back the bad stuffs?

U.S. is the most powerful country in the world and is admired by many other countries, mostly his allies. The most issue facing today by the US government and its citizens are the economy. They have just spend too much money and they still strongly wanted to be the best of the world, which in fact it needs time but no one would like to wait that long. The Chinese has an old saying: if you want to speed up, you won't get anything - which means you have to go step by step,otherwise you will miss something important during the process.

China, with lots of people and lots of land, is one of the fastest economy growth country in the world. Luckily the new Prime Minister of Japan seems friendly to China, the old neighbor. It's a very very smart foreign policy, which the rest of the world didn't see the future benefits of such political activity. That's because when Japan and China are 'married', who will be the strongest of the world? Still US? no, and perhaps yes only on technology. The marriage of Japan and China brings most benefit to Japan: earn more money from China - largest market in the world and lots and lots of lands. This can only be done when the relationship between Japan and China are more closer than "neighbor" and "friends", or even "brothers".

Although Japan and China has some historical concerns, but based on both culture, things can be excused and forgiven. Historically, the Chinese didn't say Japan should not have armies, it's the U.S. suggested. And look around the world today, who else don't allow other countries not to do this and not to do that? Even European Union, they won't say you have to adjust your exchange rate for the benefit of Euros. Everything is requested by U.S.. U.S. wanted to be the big boss of the entire world, but can they be forever? The economy tells everything. History sometimes come back again, when people always use the 'old' way of solution - A powerful country cannot be powerful forever, especially when they don't want to see the trends.

Without Japan, China will have to take much longer time to develop its economy, recover the culture, improve the technology and consequently the influence to the world. With Japan, China can grow "healthily", not too fast and not to slow. And Japan, will have more and more opportunities: send your people to China, and earn the money from Chinese. Transport the technology to China and develop more advanced ones. It's like the Japan is the brain, and China is the hands. When brains and hands working together, you will be able to stand up and know where you are going. ]]> https://ameblo.jp/yangxiaoxu/entry-10430386240.html Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:28:09 +0900 Chapter 15 Debt and Taxes

assume this is from another planet, which discovered by the Italians in 16th century, that means the aliens have been visit Earth during 16th century. Perhaps there are more other things brought by the aliens which we haven't notice yet.



the story could be like this: aliens need food, like we human beings, but they don't know if the things grow on Earth can be eaten. Therefore they grow their own food. Due to the different climate, nutrition, sunlight and air, the aliens' food turns something which similar like Earth's broccoli. Perhaps the original taste of this 'romanesco brocooli' is not as what it is today...



Oh, wait a minute... No... No... perhaps... maybe the aliens would like to grow something that they can eat and hope to turn Earth into their farm. They made some special liquid or nutrition to test the effect on the food that grown on Earth, and this is their failure result: only the appearance of the food has been changed into alien's but the taste and the DNA of this cauliflower has not been changed because of the environmental condition on Earth...

Or... perhaps the aliens finds out that Earth was lack of food during the period they've visited here... and they helped human to grow some of their own food... and this is one of the original 'vegetables' that still kept the alien's look... and the rest has been changed/turned into Earth-like cauliflowers....

anyway... it's from ALIENS'!!!!!!!
