Death sentence dilemma? No!

A UK drug smuggler was just executed early this morning for carrying 4kg of heroinin to China Urumqi. He was ended by lethal injection but the debate has never come to an end...


comment on Mr. Shaikh's case


Mr. Brown:
I condemn the execution of Akamal Shaikh in the strongest terms…

 As a journalist with non-professional knowledge on law, I am not clear that if a person commit such crimes as smuggling in a foreign country, which country’s law should be used on him?


Well, my common sense tells me that he should obey the foreign country’s, like the saying, “when in Rome, do as the Romans”.

So death sentence to Mr.Shaikh is obvious not against laws for his 4kg heroin smuggling in China.

But why this case has been catching worldwide attentions including British leaders? Even British-Chinese relationship is under threats.

Death penalty

It is understandable that Shaikh family are keeping appealing to Chinese court to spare Shaikh’s life all these days.

However, Mr. Brown’s words are quite surprising. He, as the British Prime Minister, issues that, “ I condemn the execution of Akamal Shaikh in the strongest terms…”

I do not think it is appropriate for an office to express such words.
The possible result would be more hates and arguments.

It is really not appropriate for a president to issue such speech. His unreasonable behaviour just let the argument to a political level.

It is quite interesting that the prime minister also engages in this case rather than the Foreign Minister only.

When it comes to next year’s election, Mr. Brown has a claim that he is the one who cares his people.

Actually, whether to abandon the death penalty is not easy to reach a consensus. People with different cultural background, values have different understandings on the death penalty.

In Chinese value, it is necessary to let people pay back what evil they have done. If they committed severe crime such as murdering, death sentence to them would comfort the victim’s family and educate the public.

In Western culture, it is important to forgive people no matter what he has done. No one has the right to deprive another’s life. They believe that consciousness would punish the criminal in his rest of life.

Obviously ,either one is not superior to the other.

Point fingers at Chinese law system

“Human rights” is a term used a thousand times criticizes China. It can easily irritate common hatred; then people in UK come launch campaigns against China in front of Chinese embassy.

Mostly, in the western’s eyes, China is a place where lacks human rights but full of restrictions of media. It is a country in great need of well-developed western interactions on its human rights..

The media have no patience to explain the differences between UK laws and Chinese laws. In China, if a person claims to have a mental problem, he should hand in relevant evidence.

Thanks to the powerful media stereotype, every peace-loving person becomes concerned about China’s development on human rights more than Chinese people do.

The politicians catch this opportunity to express their great “concern” too, but with some hidden purposes. They try to shift their people’s attention on their badly-performed economy, high rate of unemployment and wrong action of Iraq war.

First they create an excuse to invade Iraq by telling his people that Iraqis are suffering from Saddam’s bad rules.

Then, it is China’s turn. Since China is such a large and powerful-to-be country, they use numerous news which cover Chinese unsatisfied fields.

Also it is a fabulous moment to decline the taxation agreement with China with an excuse that “we do not see eye to eye”.

It seems that the economic turndown and the unsatisfying ends of Copenhagen Climate Conference have not been annoying enough. So point a finger on Chinese law system is really necessary to save them.

Now, what the media fail to tell us is that who gave Mr. Shaikh such a large amount of heroin? Who is the hidden leader of the global smuggling group? China is not a country which enjoys depriving lives. When it comes to criminal punishments, when in Rome, do as the Romans.

Why victims gain justice so late

A rape case which happened in 1986, 24 years ago, just caught its murder.





The first time that I read such stories in newspaper has shocked me a lot. 24 years ago? The victim teenager girl has turned into an almost mid-aged married mother.



If luckily her husband is not struggling the idea on her wife experience, and she has overcome the painful nightmare of that horrible scene days after days which hit her when she is a teenager, she would not care about how long has been taken to gain the justice finally.



24 years, I repeated this number for I can not understand why the police need such a long time to find the murder. Has the rapist hurt other girls when he was at large for 24 years?



This is not the only case that takes police more than twenty years to catch a murder, a robbery etc, while it only takes days or months to find the 911 terrorism and soon came to an decision to let them pay back.



I don’t want to let the local police admit they are humble to the FBI or whatever. It is because the relative groups have not devoted all themselves to catch a rapist, the case of terrorism is on the contrary.



Attitude of serving public is not a vague logo. I wish next time I opened the newspaper, it is 24 hours ago rather than years.

The earlier the victims gain justice, the safer environment of our life is.

2012 will be the end of the world


Now I come to some kind of believing that


2012 will be the end of the world

December 11, 2009

I had never believed the nonsense like 2012 will be the end of the world until I opened today’s daily mail.





It says that scientists have discovered a way to remove the fearful memory. They found that when recalling back, people have a short period of time to let their brains “rewrite” the unpleasant part to a better one.




It is predicted that deleting fear memories would achieve success in labs soon and come into practice in the near future. If human being removed all painful memories, such as slave trade, Nazi war, Nanjing Massacre…then the end of the world would be around the corner.



Actually, painful memories are more likely to push us forward than happy ones. In every disaster there is a golden lesson that we can learn.



Human being removed the memory of nature disaster caused by over pollution. They forgot the painful memory of losing families. The tragedy would happen again, even worse.



Not every scientific experiment can be performed. It, on the one hand, can head the history forward. On the other hand, it has the power to end it.

A sentence makes me thinking


I am reading the NUJ’s code of conduct which has set out the main principles of British and Irish journalism since 1936 when a line of words jump into my eyes:
……





A good will, I think.

I am a Chinese journalist-to-be. Maybe in the context of China, it will be even harder to realise this. However, I never believe it is possible to come true here, in UK.



As a human being, nobody can avoid being influenced by his environment. As a media organization, so far there has not been any can stand out claiming that they are fully free from pressures of both the market place and the government.

The outside world is so powerful that everyone has to adjust himself to fit in. The human nature of not being isolated from the majority has taken an important role to ruin the journalists’ objectiveness.



According to psychological studies, people tend to select information to form their own “fact”. The individual opinion has already shaped the “fact”. A thousand of individuals will have a thousand “facts” based on their knowledge, education background, family etc.

I believe that bias is one of the things that we can never get rid of no matter how hard you try. It is such kind of human nature that makes a person a person- no doubt a journalist is a person. Everyone behaves in a way that believes is right.




At this point I can not believe that differences among fact and opinion can be identified.






Still the NUJ puts this norm to the code of conduct is not losing its value. In terms of media I hope every journalist respects the truth and has the capability to differentiate the fact and opinion. In this way we will not go too far from the truth.

The importance and qualities of the good investigative journalist

The importance of the good investigative journalist,especially in China, is to reveal the abuse of power in public services and the harm done to individuals in our society.

 Good investigative journalists use the media to call on more people to join together, thus finding a solution for the better. Or with their help, justice can finally come to those who are treated unfairly earlier.

They discover something wrong first, then investigate it and expose it in press or broadcasting. When the problem comes into public attention by the media, the government will be pushed to put efforts to solve it.

In fact, compared with economic growth, there are more important issues that need to be addressed, such as violation of human rights, government corruption, social injustice, etc. Only relying on the government itself can not tackle all of the developing problems. In addition, NGOs in China are not well developed.

At this moment, investigative journalists become an important power to contribute to a citizen society.


Investigative journalism demands different qualities from the reporter than other types of journalism.

First good investigative journalists should have the capability of evaluating potential investigative stories, knowing what to investigate. Investigative reporting is expensive in terms of time and resources after all.



Good investigative journalists also should be able to handle the dilemma of anonymous sources.

On the one hand, relying on anonymous sources is risky especially when journalists only have one anonymous source. On the other hand, sometimes breaking news is inside the very one anonymous source. When good investigative journalists “source” the information from the anonymous, they should have the capability to tell how reliable the source is.



It is also an important quality of good investigative journalists that they should have the capability of protecting themselves.

In some cases, investigations are dangerous tasks. An investigative report may involve an immense petrol corporation or a powerful local governor. They will hinder investigations by threats or violence.

In addition, given the context of China, there might be restrictions from the central government on such negative reports. Good investigative journalists should be able to find a clever angle to report such story.

A good beginning of being a journalist (2nd edition work)


Ady has been a journalist in his native Indonesia for four years. We spent a good time talking about life as a journalist for nearly two hours at lunchtime. Ady told me his most embarrassing interview moment when he had been a journalist for just one month.
He sat in front of me, holding a mug of water and he, began his story.” I became a journalist in July 2005 and was assigned my first interview in August 2005. You will never ever guess what happened during my first interview.”


His first interviewee was the army governor of Jakarta, a tough man with a bad temper and, at the time, running a temperature. Ady stopped the governor as he was leaving a ceremonial event. Following exactly what his senior editor had told him, Ady asked Jakarta:” does it matter if people think you are a pro-status quo?” At the very moment, Jakarta replied no words but gave him a slap in front of all the journalists and guests- Ady did not tell me whether it was painful or not because obviously that was not the point. Embarrassment was. Almost at the same time, all the other journalists and guests there stepped back in great astonishment. The body guard of Jakarta soon came up to Ady and said:” Please don’t mind. He is ill. Please don’t mind.”

“I am not angry.”Ady said,” it is understandable since he is sick.”
The embarrassing moment did not finish then. The whole procedure was imortalised by a television station camera and shown later on in the evening. When saying these, he neatened his scarf and shook his head slightly.  

"That is how I began my journalism career." Ady said with a gentle smile.


“Wow, that’s a really spectacular start to your journalistic career.” I laughed, “I am sorry to hear that story. Such an awful thing is not supposed to be your first interview experience.”

Ady interrupted me waving his hand, “No, no, actually I learnt from this very interview.” He drank some water and explained,” you know, I should have done some research myself rather than reated every question that my editor had given me. If I had done that, I would have known his political stand and his personality. Maybe the interview would have ended differently”

With this beginning, Ady was subsequently able to tackle quite a few un-expected interview moments. He found a way to mature: learn by your mistakes. So in this way, this slap  was worth a thousand lessons in Ady’s journalism career.

From our own correspondent: I am in London!

I know that you might have already visited the UK and hundreds of words for this country may come into your mind. But just let me describe my very first time to be exposed to a totally new country after living in Chinese way for twenty years.



I study in the University of Westminster, located a little bit far from central London. The falling leaves are seen everywhere on the campus. Such scenic pictures are astonishing for me because I live in many cities in China for twenty years. We do not have such colourful scene in the cities partly because Chinese people believe this piece of land could be better used if it is cultivated for agricultural purpose. Maybe it is this peaceful view everywhere that makes Londoners have a relatively gentle temper.



After the first busy week of study, I went to the central London. I then gained my first impression on London’s tube.



The first shock was the metropolitan line closed on the weekend. How come? The tube, a public vehicle, is supposed to service people especially on weekends. Unlike the working people, we students do not have a private car and the only time for us to visit London is the weekends. So far I do not understand why they choose to close the public tube on certain days rather than mend it during the night.



It took me half an hour extra to get the destination. When I came out the station, the second shock came. My new oyster card balance showed that I used two pounds and twenty pence for my single journey- ten times as much as in China. I understand that the cost of living will be higher than in my country but it should not be that expensive. Personally speaking, the public transport is supposed to be cheap thus encouraging common people to use it instead of private cars.



When in Rome do as Romans do. I bear this saying in mind and chose a very British food, fish and chips. Back to my middle school age, I red a passage talking about the traditional food in the UK, fish and chips. They failed to mention this is un-healthy food- comparing with Chinese food, and the boring taste- not fresh fish and to many blanking potatoes, but only said it was a popular take-away food- it seems untrue because more Londoners choose other take-away food. What’s interesting is that many more Chinese restaurants here offer this British dish than the British ones.



Also many articles about the UK keep mentioning the Londoners are cold. I did not feel that because every time I get lost on the street, there is always some one who would like to stop and help me. Although it seems that not everybody has a good sense of direction, I do feel quite well because I am treated in a friendly way here.

A good beginning of being a journalist






A good beginning of being a journalist

Ady has been a journalist in Indonesia, his motherland, for four years. We spent a good time talking about the journalist life for the whole noon. Ady gave me his embarrassing moment of doing interviews when he was a journalist for just one month and both of us agreed that: it is really a good start to the journalism career, seriously.

He sat in front of me, holding a mark, began his story:” I became a journalist in July 2005 and was assigned the first interview in August 2005. You will never imagine what happened during my first interview.”

“My interviewee slapped me on my check in front of ten journalists and some guests.  That is how I began my journalism career.” He told me this breaking story but with a gentle smile. He did not get rage when saying this.

His first interviewee was the army governor of Indonesia named Jakarta, a tough man with bad temper because of sickness. Ady stopped Jakarta when he came out from a ceremony event. Following exactly what his senior editor told him, Ady asked Jakarta:” what if people think you are a pro-status quo?” At the very moment, Jakarta replied no words but a slap in front of all journalists and guests- Ady did not tell me whether it was painful or not because obviously that was not the point. Embarrassment was. Almost at the same time, all the other journalists and guests there stepped back with great astonishment. The body guard of Jakarta soon came to Ady, said:” Please don’t mind. He is sick. Please don’t mind.”
“I am not angery.”Ady said,” it is understandable that he is sick.”

The embarrassing thing did not finish then. The whole procedure was captured by a television station’s camera and presented on the screen in the evening. When saying these, he neatened his scarf and shook his head slightly.  

“Wow, that is really a special start of your journalism career.” I laughed, “I am sorry to hear that story. Such awful thing is not supposed to be your first interview experience.”

“No, no, actually I learnt from this very interview.” Ady interrupted me with his arms. Then he drank some water and explained to me,” you know, I should have done some research myself rather than stuck to every question that my editor gave me. If I have done that, I would have known his political stand and his personality. Maybe the interview would turn to be a different end.”

What a lovely and fast-learning new journalist he is, in my opinion. With this beginning, Ady easily tackled quite a lot of un-expecting moment of his later interviews. He found a way to grow up: learn by failures. So in this way, this slap is worthwhile in terms of Ady’s journalism career.

News story from London-gain one hour when winter comes!

Clock changing is not a new thing for people in the UK. People have to change their clock one hour backward when the winter drops and one hour forward when the summer comes. But will the clock changing affect people’s daily life?


“Why we (referring she and her husband) hate the clock change. We have to get back in the dark.” Complained by Barbara, who has been living in the UK for more than sixty years, “only people in the countryside may appreciate the clock changing because they work in the nature and that change will save energy. But for us in the city, it gets harder to adjust to it as you get older. My husband found it difficult to fall asleep at the beginning days. ”

On the contrary, local youngsters seem to love this. “We gain one hour, why not more changes come?” A British young girl said. But what if next year when the summer comes, we will lose one hour.


The possible inconvenient thing for all overseas students who currently study in the UK is to check the clock all the time when they call back. If they are not good at maths, it might be an annoying disturbance for their family or friends in their sweet dreams.


The counsellor in the University of Westminster Daisy said, “the clock change does not really influence people but the season changing does. Maybe you suddenly feel the darkness seems early and that is really disturbing, I think. ”


The mobile phone company did not mention how they calculate the length of the lost time. “We do not have that detailed contract actually. ” a staff in three store company who did not want to be named.

The travel agency said the one extra hour did not bring the differences as most professors thought. A clothes shop owner in St. Ann Square also mentioned that the study of this did not necessarily come true or bring that much improvement for selling.


Why do the British people want to change the clock which may cause the problem anyway? The answer is obvious. “We want to appreciate more sunlight when the summer comes.”

Before the time-changing day, radios, televisions, Internet and newspapers publish reminders for several times. There is no problem for local people to get the information from different media platforms. And the computer system is smart enough to change the clock automatically for its users so let us just enjoy the convenience of the modern world.

I can not carry on my report because I love it so much

I cann't move forward with my report and the deadline is around the corner! Oh my god! That is the last thing I wanted! It is not my fault, not telling the lie.

Let me explain it clear. This semester I have a subject named issues of Journalism: Human Rights, Ethics and Democracy. One piece of the coureswork is to write a report recommending repeal or amendment of a piece of legislation that affects journalistic observance of human rights. It took me a long time to be obsessed with books available from the Internet and the library because back in my country we do not have any law on media and a lot of disputes between law and special rules in terms of journalism. I started my study on the relative law quite early and got lost. With little knowledge in law and media, I find myself overwhelmed by the huge information.

China, my country, has a so complicated context in its media field that an obvious gap between the western culture and itself can not be easily avoided. I do not want to just pick up one piece of legislation without enough context which need repealing or amendent because that is so irresonable for foreigners to understand and that irresposible report might even create wrong image of China. All I need is to explain the history then they can understand why we have such a nonsense law.

This kind of task is only a dream because I realise it demands more time and widom even eats some professor's whole academic life. How dare I, a green hand in journalism postgraduate study, write such report?

Ok, I think I must be a person down to the earth. I should only write something that is under my control-that is definitely the quotation from others.

The thing is when I come to this topic, I can not help myself. The emotion wants to find a place to release and I wish I can do some real things for my country such as explain more to me UK teacher. So far I have not got enough power, sad.

Every time I begin to read all materials I collected-some of them have reached out of the report, I feel so motivated to carry on my study further with more efforts. Both Chinese, including me, and foreigners need the truth. The only thing I can devote is to add a tiny voice into the history and one day tiny voices from more people can establish a better understanding of my country, my lover.

I am fooled by who I love so deeply

Having spending more than twenty years in China, I never had a feeling of something wrong. Everytime I red overseas media criticising on the Chinese Governmenr, I held a view that how can you know better than our Chinese? And ironically I did look them down for their cross-line behaviour. 

But that time never comes back.

It seems that they make sense. China tends to hide too much things which is very concerned about our people, such as the unfairness everywhere. I don't mean that these have been perfectly solved in so-called more developing countries; what I want to emphasise is we lack the transparent much much more than any other countries.

I thought, when I was in China, India is a poor country short of food and houses, let alone the democracy in any field. I held this bias when I met some Indian classmates. To my surprise, they told me that the media in India is market controll! How come? Suddenly I realise I was fooled. I thought I knew the world without any bias because my country is a wonderland where we support fairness, justice etc.

Sign.

The reason that I feel bad is because I love my country. Now it comes to a doubt. When I talk about love, isn't it too pantisan? Comparing with the students from many other countries, I suddenly realise that banning websites in China is the most terrible thing in the world! Facebook, BBC Chinese, twitter are not, what they claimed, the platforms full of reactionary. In addition, Chinese development is far from satisfaction. GDP is the misleading criteria to judge the economy. Chinese people are, what a shame, ingnorant to the truth. The fact is we are fooled.

There are too many books can not pass through China's strict censorship, thus no chance for me to know the truth.  Too many journalists, intelligents or honest people are unfairly treated or even sent into prison, but the fact is buried. The elder generation becomes conservative; the new generation is led by commercials and superficial knowing. One day we will be fooled just because we are too short-sight to foresee the damage in our nation.One day we change into sheeps but other peoples wolf. How to survive? Should we take their invation as a way to show out board tolerance just as what we Chinese people are doing right now? We keep silience during our life even when we know clearly that it should not be that way! And we keep teaching our next generation to follow our steps. That so-called ways of surviving is definitely a perfect excuse!

I don't want to challenge the leader right now because that makes no sense. Even I have red more than the majority and I keep an eye on the quite a lot of range of things, still, I lack the facts. I need a foreigner to describe Chinese issues for me. I hate selected news at home,  on the other hand, I won't take all from foreigners. I just want the fact you know and I will form my own opinion on the basis of my knowledge- not like 1984.

Not regret living that long in China, I hate regret. To admit I am fooled is the last thing I want but it happened.

Luckily, I realised finally. I wish this is the last time I admit.

why don't we ask or speak?

Having had classes for more than one week, we Chinese students seldomly say anything about during the course although we make up the majority of the student amount.

Actually this is not a new phenomenon all over the world.  Maybe some areticles have already criticised on the lack of our Chinese education. We do not use to doubts on anything. I guess it is really easy to doubt inside rather than express in front of people. My explaination for this is the fact that we are not born in a place free to report, not only in term of news but also in daily life, which I believe is the root reason. Because in my personal experience-I am not telling lies-I was told not to mention some politically sensitive things by my parents. Many foreigners wonder why you are afraid. If all of you fight for the freedom of expression, you Chinese people may have already got it.

But aren't Chinese people so stupid that they can not save themselves?

Back to 2 years ago, Gao Yaojie, who is the first person reveal the aids in a small country in Henan, was once  under house arrest. Her 45-year-old son was forced to knee in front of her. The purpose is to "forbidden" her, in one way or another, from receiving a NGO prize given by Hilary for her efforts on human rights and benefits. Her book was also banned to publish in Mainland.

Back to some journalists like Qin Benli, Zhang Weijian etc. Their article expressed theri concerns about the society and all emotion were from the bottom love of hear for the country. Ironically they are definitely treated unfair and their books became the banned ones. Liu Binyan, who had so much passion to the country,sadly died in America never had a chance to be back becasuse his visa was cancelled during his visit to an America University.

And so on.

My Chinese classmate, I don't mean all of them, are too naive to receive all the message from China media only. They are never told like these people's true story. However I won't take the Western's point of view that Chinese people are under authoritarian controll. The thing is the government is too afraid to make any mistake. The more freedom they give, the more chaos the country will be. To some extent it is true. With such a huge population, if China sneezes, the whole world will shake.

Never jump into the inclination that Chinese is lack of human rights. In the context of real China we are trying to change this satuation. But now the majority suffered from the culture revolution thirty years ago, suffered from Tian'anmen Event twenty years ago. How dare they live withou that kind of nightmare memory? How dare they run the risk of their one precious child senting into prison? China is China.

No wonder that we don't ask or speak during classes. It is because we do not want to scare the world.

About dabate

Today's dabate club is the one that made me rethink for a long time.
The topic is : will arranged marridge make more successful marridges?

I got "Yes". I wish another choice and another topic. I disagree with it 100%. Since the class should move on, I just told my teamates especially myself: the more the challenge, the more the interest. Having learnt from my experience that if I gave up, I would no doubt end up with failure, I tried my best to defense. Thanks to my last 3-day experience of the 21st century lenovo cup national speaking competition, I gained a much better performance in the class. On my first thought this dabate was obviously onesided advantage but I definitely turned the whole thing.

When I posed my speech, I mentioned that it would save not only time but also money if two parties used arranged marriage. There was a boy with the objective opinion who promtly said if we wanted to save money, we could just not to take care of the old and let them die.
At those words, I was just jumping up and slashed him but my parter held me, said" calm down." I guessed she sensed my feeling. I also felt my hands were shaking and so did my voice. I said, " I am sorry but I see your words meaningless. I just took away the things, but you took away the lives!" I had thousands of words to blame his idea but I was so angery together with many mixed feelings that I did not want to say a word. And I wish I neither talked with him nor met him.

The whole class is over but my thought goes far beyond.
How could such a young guy say the cold words as an example? To a large extent, it is the reflection of his minds. I feel very sorry indeed. His words are so harsh that I do still feel uncomfortable.

Also I remember my Chinese debate. The team players' nature behaviour after the competition gave me a lesson. They preferred to critisise on one person instead of shouldering the result together. They referred to a scapegoat to let them feel better. Plus I did not see any evidence about any poor performance. And there were a lot of cooperative efforts and happy hours behind the live stage that I treasured a lot but they usually neglected. I know, from that time on, failure begins from the inside seperation. That is the problem from the team itself that beats the them, not the opponents. They lose the meaning of debate-teamworkship. Hopefully next time when I come across the similar situation, I would meet people with splendid characteristics- tolerent, knowledgable.

Grow up alone

Sometimes it is hard to keep on, especially on your own.

I don't want to claim that the reason to establish a private blog lies in the improvement of English. To be frankly, I really enjoy writing in different languages. I have been loving to express my thoughts as soon as I could write. No readers, although-it is the case most times in my life. When I was young, I talked to myself through my dairy, my articles and my daydreams. I was really shy to stand in front of a group or share my feelings with whom I was not familiar with. I hope nobody spotlight on me, while, I wish I were known in public. The interesting paradox came from the bottom of my heart.

Actually, I stand here with the age of 20 plus to look at a 15-year-old girl, emotions go far beyond words. I pretend to talk to her gentlely, tolerently. She feels bitterly that she believes nobody cares her, listens to her story. She could only grow up herself. I sense her exact rich feelings. I know what they mean. For a 15-year-old child, it is impossible to say them clearly. But it is possible for a writer of my age write them. Vivid description can help more children release from the growing-up pain, the sweat-and-bitter pain.

What I will do is to have the stories published, on my blog.
Thank you, my reader.

something from my heart

I'd like to write something for today.
It's been a very fruitful day to read a lot of articles on mediaviews.
To be honest, I feel empathy for some intelligents in my motherland. Someone wrote to my school anonymously, saying I spreaded bad words on my blog. At that time I have no idea about censorship of the blog. Officials did not consider it was rumor or whatever but my supervisor believed that my thought was bad- although what I said was my personal point of view based on the fact, I was distitled by the hornor. And I don't think I spreaded to the public since I only wrote on my private blog. The number of visiters is not that much. I felt depressed not because I lost the honor title but because I lost the trust of the sourroudings. People, who ever claimed to be my best friend, just wrote those stupid things to break me.
What a shock?! Is it a freedom world? I did nothing to ruin others reputation but I need admit I have done!
Crazy, the most crazy things in my life! It is difficult for me to imagine how terrible that heart is! I strongly believe that she would suffer a serious punishment in the near future.
God knows it.

Actually, I will be very glad to hear the positive support from you, my friend.

Happy hour on April 2nd

Garfy, Angle and I haven't met each other for 2 weeks and we really miss each other. So we decided to have fun for a whole day.
We went to Fasion Line to take photos and sang songs in Upark. Angle was late for 20 minutes-she did not surprise me-because her boss refused to give her one-day off so she need wait for her leaving. Her boss resembles the chief editor in . Every time when Angle wears new clothes or takes a new handbag, she will say a lot of gossip to her colleagues like" look, how luxury the Intern's life is." or "See? That is the dicount design of CK." I can hardly imagine that a manager in Hilton Hotel says such words behind her. It is not difficult to understand her terrible intern life in Hilton Hotel. With poorly 500RMB per month Angle need adjust her body time to the changable schedule of the job.
Fair? No way. But that is true for most Intern students. It also happened on me. When I was in SMG, they treated me not nice. Ingnorance is the last thing I want! No pay, no reward. Anything I can do is very simple but boring like typing.
Garfy is a lucky dog. She just signed a five-year contract with ICBC. Her handsome salary is eye-catching to most our classmates.
I share the pictures of us three.
You will wow like "three beautiful girls". I agree.

The first day

It took me a long time to finally make a decision to open an English version blog. The other days Allex suggested having a blog could be a possible way to improve my writing. Having hesitated for three days, I took his decision.

A saying goes: "Well begun is half done."
Another saying is:" Rome is not built in one day."
Anyway, today absolutely is a memerable day.
I consider today is the beginning day of my English life.
