Confucianism, which awaken abhorrence and even invoke a curse among the Chinese, was justifiable to incarnate an energetic iconoclast in the ancient times. Both the wrath and the action were justified, thogh the fact still remains that Confucianism alone has been the most powrful shaping factor in the cultural maturity of the Chinese nation. It has , through the centuries, for better or for worse, burned its way into the very fabric of Chinese social life, and way down into the Chinese consciousness, so that even the most incorruptible anti-Confucianist cannot escape its influence. Such is the force of a tradition that one tends to realize, however slowly, that one will do better to make a pact with it and "give the devil its due."

Four-year college life bequeath me is mere a vacuous vanity and gaudy glory, left deep deploring sentimens for myself. When I suddenly stumbled on my forfeit fairland, I just find that the once princess has already reduced into the undesirable. Mybe from the moment, I will just relive the moment, devoid of any unpractical illusion. Just like the American puritanist, the first pilgrimages who established the new world. became ever ready for any misfortune and tragic failures that might lie in wait for me.

I am very fascinated with the distincted personality of them, although rooted with cripple American Dream, they had create a miracle of America: he was a visionary who never forgets that two plus two equals four; he was a soldier of Jehovan who never came out on the losing side of a bargain. He was a practical idealist. He came to New England to found to perfect society and the Kingdom of the elect and nver expected it to be perfect, butonly the best taht fallible men could make. His creed was the revealed word of God and his life was the rule of moderation; his beliefs were handed down on high and his conduct was regulated by expediency.

Like them, perhaps the best resort for me is being a doctrinair oppotunist as well as a practical idealist.
