父亲,我的大陆求学感受--写给乡愁和幻灭(转自水木)
another piece of homework for tintedsky's girl
Movies can somewhat change the social life. In the past, at present even in the future, watching movies is always a good way for people to relax and learn new things. Since the first movie came into people’s life, it has become very popluar and has impacted daily social life. A person may never travel to another country, they maybe never know what is going on in the other side of the earth, but by watching movies seeing the other side of earth has become common and convenient. Some guys prefer romantic movies, some prefer action or even violent movies. This is why different movies become popular at different times for different guys. They all can change people’s real life.
A good movie such as《Premier Zhou Enlai》makes people know the Premier very well and also makes people cultivate lots of good virtues. But the problem is that violent movies have a very bad and common effect they make many people feel unsatified with their reality and change their behavior. As a result, the violent crimes increase every year.
So I disagree with the violent movie.
Truth is, the way a movie impacts its audience is not only the concrete violent actions it shows, but also the motif it intends to glorify. The former has more influence on children, who have an innate ability to mimic; but the latter impacts the values of the adults from the bottoms of their heart and therefore affects the society much more seriously. In the movie ‘HEAT’, Neil (Robert De Niro, a superstar in America) and his professional criminal crew hunt to score big money targets – banks, vaults and armored cars – and are, in turn, hunted by Hanna (Al Pacino, another American superstar) and his team of cops. With so many similarities between Neil and Hanna described in the movie, especially for some good virtues of Neil and partly for the ultimate result, it is no wonder that most audience prefer the thief with sympathy to the detective. In my view of point, it is possible that such positive evaluation to thieves would mislead the young, even some adults.
Well and truly, Villains are indispensable for forming a collision with heroes through which it could unwind the plots of the story. When releasing their works, filmmakers should protect three things in movies at any cost: the integrity to the personality, the respect to the wisdom and the hope to the future. In ‘the Shawshank Redemption’, Andy Dufresne, a young and successful banker, was convicted and sentenced, by mistake, to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. With the help of Red (Morgan Freeman) – his best friend, Andy successfully escaped from Shawshank and become a most unconventional prisoner. There is a sentence I could recall as a motto now: ‘Remember, Red, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing and no good thing ever dies!’ Maybe it is the instructive and positive character that makes a movie valuable.
To minimize the negative effluence on audience, there are several measures we should take seriously. Firstly, it is essential to set up a proper institution with responsibility for censoring all movies before released. In the second place, we should pass a finance bill to encourage filmmakers to produce more high-quality works for their audience. Last but not least, some positive values like integrity, loyalty and justice are indispensable to shape a noble and magnificent atmosphere for appreciating this kind of art. Based on these methods, we are able to appreciate more and more first-class movies, and in turn, filmmakers also could extract and assimilate more useful inspiration from the society.
What do you mean? What do you recommend? How do you resolve this? ….you need work more on outliving our paragraph structure and providing more specific details. After you finish your body development, work on a conclusion that provides resolution to the problem.
some reflection to strategic book
My interest is browsing something novel to me regardless of the pain I will suffer.
The hair on the back of my neck stand up when I am investigating many theories in a book named ‘the Art of War’ by Sun Tzu, an archaic strategist of China. It’s hard to image these classical theories, many of which won universal praises in China, are come from a man 2000 years ago. There are some phrases as following:
Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the state. It is the matter to survive or perish, an avenue leading to safety or ruin. Hence it is a subject of scrutiny, which can on no account be neglected.
Justice causes the people to unanimously accord with the ruler regardless of whether they are in danger.
All warfare is based on deception.
Hence to fight and conquer all your rivals is not supreme excellence. Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.
If you know both sides’ status, you will never be in danger.
Good fighters first put themselves impossible to defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy.
In respect of military position: we have, firstly, territory; secondly, abundance of resources; thirdly, numbers of soldiers; fourthly, balances of chances; fifthly, victory.
In all fighting, the orthodox methods always are applied to combat, but heterodox ones will be needed in order to secure victory.
By reason of impetus, the rush of a torrent could move stones along in its course.
Deploying tactics are like water: water always circumvents higher places and flows along lower regions. In war, the way is to avoid where is mighty and attack where is weak.
Water shapes its course according to the nature of ground on which it flows; the army works out its strategy to the enemy whom it is facing.
Well, I cannot enumerate all its classical sentences here. But the book ' the Art of War' does take us aback that one have so profound an concept of the theory on warfare more than 2000 years ago.
some thoughts about education
The process of getting old is continuing, as are season alternations.
I tried my best to change the environment, however, the near-term prospects don’t look better.
There always exists a higher and higher wall circumscribing me no matter how I endeavor to enlarge my own kingdom of life.
The crux of the problem I guess is we relies too much on the elites in our society but neglects appealing the mass – the principle part - to discharge the responsibility of their own.
Before we can tell if some newly born thing is definitely deleterious, a wise action is to find a way for coexisting with but eradicating it. Unlike the matter of Super Girl, vexed for a long term, cannot be treated with an equal and generous manner up to now.
I am a victim of this disgusting way of education. When I was young, I were tamped in numberless trivial values the teacher themselves don’t have a conviction to cherish, say nothing of defend.
The same error is repeating everyday, but I have no ability to prevent this.
In my opinion, a successful education should not only give children some basic principles and accordingly rational reasons, but most importantly, we should offer them chances and eventually the ability to judge things themselves.
Like Nietzsche had put it: the reevaluation of all previously created western values. I also could conclude: the adoration of all previously resulted in the failure of eastern civilization.
Before we inherit some of our cultures and histories, we had better justify the value of them. As should be held to treat foreign civilization. Like Bill Gates had put it: a wise man always absorbs experiences or lessons from others’ stories, so does a nation. In this aspect, I have to acknowledge the wisdom of our neighbor – Japan.
The Earth was once considered the center of the universe, then, the Sun, and then, the Galaxy, finally, no center can be found. With every step we advanced, our status were descending, our values were suspected and our sours were shaking by God’s death, but one thing is certain: the truth is approaching.
Truths always do not seem as beautiful as lies do, but they provide a more opened and objective world, and eventually make sense.
In one word, it may be the unique way for our renaissance to retrospect what we had done and introspect some values we had treasured.
current economy in China
House prices are rising, as are gas rates. Car prices in many once-hot markets have started slipping. And the paychecks of most workers in our company have not even kept up with increase over the last several years.
Yet the national economy continues to speed ahead, with the families and business spending money at an impressive pace. From the report of National development and Reform Commission, the economy grew at a rate of around 10 percent in the first quarter, the biggest increase since 2003.
The investment of permanent assets and export contribute much to the economic increase. But a goal to China is that economy growth must be diversified. We should not just rely on the consumer and housing.
Before we know if the current growth is a moderate rate, we must weigh the impact of the two-year money-tightening campaign initiated in industries of electrolytic aluminum, steel and cement.
But at present, the economy has been performing well and the near-term prospects look good.
The rank-and-files seem to have noticed the boom. Although polling suggests that they are deeply unhappy with the income gap and worried about the price of gas, they report being generally pleased with the state of the economy.
In a most recent poll, conducted last month, 55 percent of respondents rated the economy as good, even though 66 percent of Chinese said the country was on the wrong track.
Lei Ding, the chief administrative officer(CAO) of Netease, a fast-growing company on website, said he would be more confident if we could control the house prices within a reasonable level, because all of the other indicators look pretty positive.
Shi Wang, the CEO of a construction company, noted that in past decades the economy often continued to flourish even as interest rates were fluctuating. At that level, companies often struggle to make a large enough profit to cover their costs, so they stop expanding.
There is no magic number and we must march on.

tintedsky's composition for her girl
Let’s look at Sample Essay 3.
This was the most difficult topic and most students ran out of time and did not finish their essays.
Next week we will consider how best to approach a difficult topic in a timed essay exam.
Discussion
Read the essay and consider the following questions:
Does the opening sentence capture your attention?
Is the “Terminator” example effective?
How would you continue and conclude the essay.
Sample Essay 3 (176 words). Agree or disagree with the following statement: violent movies cause an increase in violent crimes.
“ A teenage boy broke into a shop last night, robbed the proprietor, and beat him to death,” so said the TV news reporter. Now, when you watch a piece of news like this on TV or read it in a newspaper, you will seldom be surprised. It happens everyday now, just like the scenes that happen in violent movies.
People have been more and more influenced by the things shown in movies and on TV, especially the young men. Violent movies, in particular, have strong impacts and bear considerable responsibility for the increase in violent crimes. When youngsters watch movies like “The Terminator,” they seldom are attracted by the idea of saving the world, but instead, they are fascinated by the violent scenes. They dream about driving fast cars and big motorcycles, crashing down barriers, and shooting scary villains, just like the terminator does. When they get a license, they drive cars and motorcycles in a frenzied way and never obey the traffic rules. As a result, the rate of traffic accidents is increasing every day.
Moreover, a survey conducted recently indicates that circa 35 percent criminal behavior by children or adolescent- juvenile delinquency - was an immediate imitation of relative violent movies. In Los Angeles, there was a 21 percent increase on street violence during the debut period of “God Father”. In Hawaii, 2 boys killed 4 people with swords to mock Zorro – a famous knight-errant in the western world. By a questionnaire for young lawbreakers, 4 out of 10 children deemed it was the violent plots in movies that misconstrued the concept of justice and bravery.
Many people will doubt the internal relation between the plots in movie and the crimes in real-life. A well-known example in point to dispute this viewpoint is that the films on skyjack plane like “Executive Decision” were always imputed to the 911 Attack on America. Imitation works for adults, still more does it for children.
In conclusion, with the more and more violent details put on screen, juvenile crimes are rising accordingly in our society. It is the time for us to take some effective measures – film rating, violence censor, cooperation training and so on – to turn the scale immediately.

a tour on the weekend
On weekend, I attended an organized tour.
One of our destinations is some stalactite caverns that are very interesting due to their characteristics and the mysterious appearance they offer. These village-owned stalactite caverns were said discovered by an undergraduate majored in geology and cost nearby villagers several years to burrow.
Walking along the corridor connecting all stalactite caverns, we are stunned by the variety of stalactites and stalagmites shining in the colorful lamplight, many of which are just statues of figure of Buddha. Not just the views, there is a vibe in the air, something not quiet visible, a kind of metaphysical shadow or image that drive people out to feel something that, if you are not a committed Buddhist, is hard to put into words.
The next day, we drive to another scenic spot – HuDongShui, a valley situated over a 2-hour drive north of Beijing. The water is so clear that many fingerlings can be seen swimming with freedom. And the steep stone steps, named “ladder to heaven”, leads to a temple called “Sanniangmiao”, means“Temple of three ladies” in English. What inflames our interest is the place at the door, from where we can hear the echo of our voice vividly. Another resort is “Jiangjundong”, named after a martyr who sacrificed when sheltered others to withdraw from the Japanese invaders.
In a word, this 2-day tour was not so interesting as we expected. However, it refreshed our mind by putting us in the arms of pee green grass and colorful blossom, which is precious to urbanites.
Fuzi Temple in Nanjing
NANJING has always seemed to almost every Chinese a historic city. You have the white buildings and busy piazzas and open-air market; you have Lin Zexu’s statue worn shiny by the hands of thousands of pilgrims. And you have the medieval stone boat, on which you could appreciate the dreamy vistas of Qinhuai style.
Maybe Kun opera is why I fell in love with Nanjing – opera in general, and “peach blossom fan” in particular. Around 6:30pm I made my way up to an “unreserved space” and took my seat next to six girls, who had brought a lot of snacks so that they could appreciate the “lantern festival” held at Fuzi Temple and finally the opera. And there we sat eating, soggily, along with thousands of others. Before this night, I had never had much use for “peach blossom fan”; but I got it that day. It has remained one of my favorite operas ever since.
There is something special about endemic opera. Touristy? It can be. Great art? It can be that, too. Big emotions make sense in these unique spaces on soft spring nights when undying love seems, suddenly, eminently possible. Opera’s large scale and spectacle, its color and glitter, seem to come into even sharper focus when outlined against the night sky and the stars.

When we got off the bus, it was almost 5:00 pm. Because of the closed wicket, we had to bargain for the price with the teller, at 5:15, we entered the great place.

Then came a terrible thing. There was no any bus or taxi outside. Unlike the urban district, it was dark but several lamplights from the distance. We had to walk at least to a town for a rest. With a little trepidation, we were enmeshed in the unique style of the rural night. Talking about our respective experiences as children, smelling the pure fragrant of April, this dismaying journey became somewhat romantic.
Some cars or tractors run by occasionally, we also had some impulse to hitchhike. However, considering the safety problem, we did not waved our hands. With the color of sky getting darker, the roads leading to the town become more and more obscure, and then, we began to be at a little loss.
Slowly, the passion was fading as time went by. Mixed with hungry, tire and thirst, our footstep turned to be more and more leaden. Accordingly, our talk ceased.
Fortunately, walking for about an hour, a taxi came up behind. Like a canoe drifting with the tide for a long time finds a life ship, we were very excited and waved our hands like hell.
Quickly, we arrived in the county seat within 40 minutes. Faced the varied ambrosia on the table, reviving what happened minutes ago, it was really an impressive experience!

I cannot tell what I am enduring now. Like some sound from remote stars hided somewhere in the deep sky, it makes my mind empty and lost. I feel some nerve in my brain is hurting me so much with every pulse of it. All kinds of pressure compress me in a small space full of fear, anxiety and disappointment.
I have no idea what I am feeling now. In a society full of lies, enmity and abjection, it is indispensable to guard against each other among Chinese. Maybe it is a melancholy of everyone in
I hate the platitude on many newspapers, it limits me from making correct decisions so as to affect the future of the young.

mediation in Suzhou inn
Lighting up a cigarette, I am deep in meditation before the mirror in an inn in Suzhou, an immediate neighbor city of Shanghai.
Strolling on the street or standing on a little bridgehead, I feel a moderate serenity I never experienced before. Black tiles and white walls, interwoven watercourses and shuttling canoes, delicate ambrosia and sweet dialect, composed the quiet but lively scenery, with a unique taste of southern china. Were it not for the twinkling neon light and vehicles running by, I must forget this is in modern times.
I was surprised by the steepness of Huashan, respected by the magnificence of the Imperial Palace, but it is the first time I am bewitched by the elegant beauty of this city. I realized for the first time what the magic means.
Sound of oars and shadow of lanterns, joggling in the Suzhou river, was rooted in the bottom of my heart stealthily, as an eternal but vivid memory.
