I want to say...
2008-03-29 18:59:39
Weather in Yi Chang is so strange. It was sunny just several days ago. But now it is raining. The sunny spring days disappear. The rain and the cold make me feel we are back to winter from spring. So terrible!
I have difficulty communicating with my roomate.She has bad temper and I cannot stand the way she speaks to me. Friend Funny told me I should not be so small-minded. I think so now. With the small mind, both of us cannot live an easy and confortable life. In order to focus on higher goals, I should not act like a small-minded person.
Mom is sick at home. Elder sister is on the train to Fuzhou. She is too busy to write sth. in her blog and chat on QQ with friends. I feel sorry for her. And as the most carefree person in the family, I should be independent in mind, and make every minute count to make achivements. Feel contented with what I have owned. Stop complaining, coz it is useless and has no promise.
At last, do not quarrel online. It doesn't work. Nobody can change each other's ideas. The best and the only way for our Party to convince other nations is to make a stronger country under its leadership. And I have every confidence in our CCP. It has been proved by history,not those who take sth. for granted,and it defenitely will not be changed by ant-CCP. Nor will our faith.I will gradually become a member of CCP. To know it better and to think deeply about it are my tasks.
Life cannot be what you want it to be, unless you can do sth. for it. No pains, no gains.

The legend of the bird
2008-03-27 11:41:42
There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to outcarol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His heaven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain….
So far I have several loved books-Jane Eyre, the legend of the Thorn Bird, Gone with the wind, and Tess. I have special feelings for each of them. Recently I am reading The legend of the Thorn Bird. You know it teels us the love stories especially the love story of the Padres Ralph and the actress Maggie.
When I was a little girl, I liked the majical legend. Now after reading the book, I have a little understanding of it, of the love betwwen a man and a woman. I think social factors should not interfere pure love. On the other side, the stuggle agaist social interference has made love more beautiful. And, if true love exists betwwen a man and a woman, understanding of each other exists. On the contrary, the so-called love is nothing but a prison for a free mind. As for myself,love becomes what I will not let go once I sense it and feels it in my heart. Now, I have different opinions from Monica's opinions about love. A couple days ago, I came across that article, in my reply there. I said an independent female should not be trapped in love. However, now I doubt whether a woman or a man who truly loves the other side is able to avoid being trapped in love.
So much.

To win is to go all out
2008-03-25 11:42:10
Recently, one of my friends told me she melt difficulty in balancing study and work and she was bothered that she was slow in action. I gave her valuable advice. However, what I didn't say was my doubt about her going all out to solve her problems. She was a smart girl but she didn't realize we could be what we wanted to be if we always go all out.
Many of us face different problems everyday. When they are piled there, higher than mountains, we feel so bothered and begin to complain. But, to complain is useless. Only with our own hands, can we solve the problems and make progress, then be what we want to be. Take actions instead of waiting and complaining. We will find we have every ability to conquer every difficulty and feel self-proud! Never give up the valuble decisions and choices, because you will definetly regret giving up when you look back on your way. I have the experience. I once thought I was not capable in doing I planned, so I gave up my splendid idea. When I look back now, I am so regretful now. There only exists what you cannot come up with, no what you cannot achieve if you go all out! Life ahould be a mission of passion, and the flames of passion should never go out! Or else you cannot make miracles beyond you thought you could.
Ok, stop here, this is my life experience recently. I know what my way ahead should be. Everyone learns from life and moves on!

About Olympic Games
2008-03-19 19:06:45
Recently, my advanced English teacher gave a new definition to the word "God". G-O-D: Green, Ocean, Design. This new idea inspired me of thinking of it in context with the Olympic Games. We al know that China is doing its utmost to hold a "green Olympics," a "hi-tech Olympics" and "the people's Olympics" in 2008. One of the key words "green" has attracted so much attention that we Chinese citizens should take the opportunity to contribute to the Olympic spirit. The Olympics is a grand gathering of people that will carry forward the tradition of excellence, promote world peace and enchance friendship among the nations of the world.
As a university student, I ask myself, "What can I do? How can I contribute?" I remember the sentences describing the "Green Olympics". "Green-colored sunshine through soft leaves, all the green days in the growth rings telling legend to the future and the past. These green hopes in the Olympic rings are just like warm hugs and brilliant haloes under the blue sky of Beijing." What a beautiful picture! But still I am faced with the question of how to make the idea of "a green world" come true.
In my humble opinion, it is necessary to raise public awareness of the importance of the Olympics. Only people who realize that it will take a united world to achieve such great ideas will make a difference. There is little we cannot do in operation. Divided, there is little we can do for such a great challenge will seem too large for us to take on individually. In addition, actions speak louder than words. Why talk about the "green world" if we aren't willing to bend down and pick up the plastic bottle near our feet? Although some of us cannot be volunteers at the Olympics, we can all bear this vision in mind and make contributions in some other way.
At last, I conclude by imitating a few sentences from President John F. Kennedy's inangrual address: My friend, please ask not what the Olympic can do for you; ask what you can do for it.

About 2008 Olympic Games
2008-03-19 17:34:00
August 8th.2008- a day that we are anxiously awaiting and anticipating. The coming of that glorious day with its heroic achievements streching the limits of human performance is surely to inspire us all. The torch has been passed to our country, and for a fleeting moment in time, we will see its symbolism for it is symbolic of the possibility of a more peaceful and lovely world.
This is a historic occasion. It establishes a firm basis for confidence stability, prosperty and growth. This is a task for a confident people, which is what we have been throughout our history and what we are in our deepest character.
This is a historic occasion, it provides a wide stage for charm, pretige, and prominence. Let us show the value to which the world aspires and beautifully and distincly present it.
This is a historic occasion. The eyes of the world are upon us. The hope and prayers of free-loving people everywhere watch with us. Fir if we believe, there is nothing we cannot achieve. All things are possible.
Our nation has a special place now in the long history of the world. The essence of the story is particularly unique. Equiped with the knowledge that charm does not only lie in its fabulous tradition and culture, our nation is ready for a world that lies united in spirit and power. United, there is little we can not do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do, for we dare not meet a powerful challenge. Therefore, we can see a society of openness: open cities, open skies, open minds, and open hearts. Fortunately, it is certain that all of these will be open to all the colors of the world in the 2008 Olympic Games. In our hands will rest the final success. We believe that.
When our aspiration becomes reality, it will be a unique Olympics on August 8th. 2008. Let us broaden our eyes and encourage our hearts to welcome it.

阿甘正传
导演:罗伯特·泽梅基斯 Zemeckis·Robert
主演:汤姆·汉克斯 Hanks·Tom
加里·西尼斯 Sinise·Gary
罗宾·怀特 Wright·Robim
萨莉·菲尔德 Field·Sally
获1995年第67届奥斯卡最佳影片、最佳男主角、最
佳导演、最佳剧本改编、最佳剪辑、最佳视觉效果六项
大奖。
阿甘是个智商只有75的低能儿。在学校里为了躲避
别的孩子的欺侮,听从一个朋友珍妮的话而开始“跑”。
他跑着躲避别人的捉弄。在中学时,他为了躲避别人而
跑进了一所学校的橄榄球场,就这样跑进了大学。阿甘
被破格录取,并成了橄榄球巨星,受到了肯尼迪总统的
接见。
在大学毕业后,阿甘又应征入伍去了越南。在那里,
他有了两个朋友:热衷捕虾的布巴和令人敬畏的长官邓
·泰勒上尉。
这时,珍妮已经堕落,过着放荡的生活。甘一直爱
着珍妮,但珍妮却不爱他。在战争结束后,甘作为英雄
受到了约翰逊总统的接见。在一次和平集会上,甘又遇
见了珍妮,两人匆匆相遇又匆匆分手。在“说到就要做
到”这一信条的指引下,甘最终闯出了一片属于自己的
天空。在他的生活中,他结识了许多美国的名人。他告
发了水门事件的窃听者,作为美国乒乓球队的一员到了
中国,为中美建交立下了功劳。猫王和约翰·列侬这两
位音乐巨星也是通过与他的交往而创作了许多风靡一时
的歌曲。最后,甘通过捕虾成了一名企业家。为了纪念
死去的布巴,他成立了布巴·甘公司,并把公司的一半
股份给了布巴的母亲,自己去做一名园丁。甘经历了世
界风云变幻的各个历史时期,但无论何时,无论何处,
无论和谁在一起,他都依然如故,纯朴而善良。
在隐居生活中,他时常思念珍妮。而这时的珍妮早
已误入歧途, 陷于绝望之中。 终于有一天,珍妮回来
了。她和甘共同生活了一段日子。在一天夜晚,珍妮投
入了阿甘的怀抱,之后又在黎明悄然离去。醒来的甘木
然坐在门前的长椅上,然后突然开始奔跑。他跑步横越
了美国,又一次成了名人。
在奔跑了许久之后,甘停了下来,开始回自己的故
乡。在途中, 他收到了珍妮的信。 他又一次见到了珍
妮,还有一个小男孩,那是他的儿子。这时的珍妮已经
得了一种不治之症。甘和珍妮三人一同回到了家乡,一
起度过了一段幸福的时光。
珍妮过世了,他们的儿子也已到了上学的年龄。甘
送儿子上了校车,坐在公共汽车站的长椅上,回忆起了
他一生的遭遇。
《阿甘正传》评析:
在1995年的第六十七届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片的角
逐中,影片《阿甘正传》一举获得了最佳影片、最佳男
主角、最佳导演、最佳改编剧本、最佳剪辑和最佳视觉
效果等六项大奖。影片通过对一个智障者生活的描述反
映了美国生活的方方面面,从一个独特的角度对美国几
十年来社会政治生活中的重要事件作了展现。影片改编
自温斯顿·格鲁姆的同名小说。只不过原著是一本充满
了讽刺意味的荒诞小说,而影片则对故事进行了修饰和
美化。摒弃了原著的荒诞和揭露讽刺意味,为影片增添
了一种温情。这无疑使影片更合观众和评委的口味,但
却牺牲了原著的叛逆斗争精神,使影片成为了一种理想
化道德的象征。
阿甘在影片中被塑造成了美德的化身,诚实、守信、
认真、勇敢而重视感情。在影片中,阿甘是十分纯洁的
形象,而珍妮则成了堕落的象征。这与原著有着极大的
出入。对于所叙述的一切,影片自始自终都是以一种温
情和善意的态度来表现的,甚至还加入了诗意化的成分,
这使得影片显得柔和而无伤害性。影片对传统道德观念
的宣扬和体现。使影片变得易为人们所接受,导演高超
的编排技巧和电影语言的运用也使影片十分吸引人。影
片的内容为影片商业上的成功提供了保证,而导演艺术
上的处理也使得影片更加精彩,这就是影片成功的原因
所在。《阿甘正传》成了美国当年最为卖座的电影之一。
汤姆·汉克斯在影片中的表演十分朴实自然。他以
在此片中的表现获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角的桂冠。这已
是他连续获得的第二个影帝金像。《阿甘正传》的成功,
也使汤姆·汉克斯成了好莱坞最受欢迎的影星之一。对
汤姆·汉克斯来说,那两年是他演艺生涯中最为幸运的

'Supergirl' Volunteer
Meet Li Na, a second year graduate student from Beijing Language and Culture University. This jolly, good-humored "Good Luck Beijing" volunteer has earned the nickname "Supergirl" due to her unending efforts and infectious spirit in helping the capital city gear up for the Games. [Full story]The Olympic Rings

"These five rings -- blue, yellow, black, green and red -- represent the five parts of the world now encompassed by Olympism and ready to compete against each other. Moreover, the six colours (including the white background) thus combined represent those of all nations, without exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the French, English, American, German, Belgian, Italian and Hungarian tricolours, the yellow and red of Spain are side by side with the new Brazilian and Australian flags, the old Japan and the new China. It is a true international emblem."
Coubertin (Selected Writings II, p. 460, 1913).
As an image of Olympism, Coubertin thought the rings had deep significance: that of the union between men. He multiplied the image to create a total of five rings. He designed and commissioned the Olympic flag to mark the 20th anniversary of the IOC's founding, on 23rd June 1914 in Paris. Coubertin never said nor wrote that he saw a link between the colours of the rings and the continents. For him, the five rings represented the union of the five continents, but the colours were merely those that appeared in all the different national flags at the time.
-- The results of a survey carried out in six countries (Australia, Germany, India, Japan, Great Britain and the USA) in 1995 showed that 92% of those questioned correctly identified the Olympic rings, which made them the most-recognised symbol. They were followed by the McDonald's and Shell emblems (88%), Mercedes (74%) and the United Nations (36%). (SRI Sponsorship Research International).
-- 86% of those questioned associated the Olympic rings with the world's greatest sports event: the Olympic Games. (SRI Sponsorship Research International, 1995).

The Olympic Movement
On 23 June, 1894, Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee in a ceremony held at the University of Sorbonne in Paris. Demetrius Vikelas from Greece became the first president of the IOC. Two years later, in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens.More>> BEIJING 2008
Emblem
Every emblem of the Olympics tells a story. The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games emblem "Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing" is filled with Beijing's hospitality and hopes, and carries the city's commitment to the world.[Full story]Theme Slogan
"One World One Dream" expresses the common wishes of people all over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for a bright future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colors, languages and races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we seek for the ideal of Mankind for peace.[Full story]
The Official Mascots
Fuwa embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.
The Medal
The Beijing 2008 Olympic medal is designed with inspiration coming from "bi", China's ancient jade piece inscribed with dragon pattern.

。①字符、图片、色彩、线条、底纹等要素在版面中的存在并非孤立,也并非简单的叠加、排列、铺陈,而是通过彼此的优化组合达到“1+1>2”的效果,“使片景孤境能织成一内在自足的境界”②,利用局部的巧妙组合创造“整体美”,在灵活的变化中求得“统一美”,通过有秩序的安排达到“和谐美”,真正具有艺术性的版面应该能够将这3种美融合在一起。强调版面艺术性不仅是对读者阅读需要的满足,也是对其审美需要的满足。
色彩具有表达情意的作用,如红色代表热情、积极,黑色代表庄严、肃穆,橙色象征幸福、富裕,色彩的使用要符合报纸所要表达的主题。一些报纸以为传统的黑、白、灰不如红、黄、蓝、绿等颜色“夺目”,不分情况和场合大量使用“浓墨重彩”,或给一个标题套上几种颜色,或整版“姹紫嫣红”,让读者分不清到底在表达什么感情,以至在导向上出现了偏差。http://www.hangzhou.com.cn/20050801/ca852089.htm

About Olympic Games in 2008
2008-03-12 10:28:48
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.
Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
Fuwa also embody both the landscape and the dreams and aspirations of people from every part of the vast country of China. In their origins and their headpieces, you can see the five elements of nature -- the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky -- all stylistically rendered in ways that represent the deep traditional influences of Chinese folk art and ornamentation.
Spreading Traditional Chinese Good Wishes Wherever They Go
In the ancient culture of China, there is a grand tradition of spreading good wishes through signs and symbols. Each of Fuwa symbolizes a different blessing -- and will honor this tradition by carrying their good wishes to the children of the world. Prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck will be spread to every continent as Fuwa carry their invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe.
At the heart of their mission -- and through all of their work -- Fuwa will seek to unite the world in peace and friendship through the Olympic spirit. Dedicated to helping Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, Fuwa reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games -- and to invite every man, woman and child to take part in the great celebration of human solidarity that China will host in the light of the flame in 2008.
In China's traditional culture and art, the fish and water designs are symbols of prosperity and harvest. And so Beibei carries the blessing of prosperity. A fish is also a symbol of surplus in Chinese culture, another measure of a good year and a good life.
The ornamental lines of the water-wave designs are taken from well-known Chinese paintings of the past. Among Fuwa, Beibei is known to be gentle and pure. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring.
Jingjing makes children smile -- and that's why he brings the blessing of happiness wherever he goes. You can see his joy in the charming naivety of his dancing pose and the lovely wave of his black and white fur. As a national treasure and a protected species, pandas are adored by people everywhere. The lotus designs in Jingjing's headdress, which are inspired by the porcelain paintings of the Song Dynasty (A.D.960-1234), symbolize the lush forest and the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Jingjing was chosen to represent our desire to protect nature's gifts -- and to preserve the beauty of nature for all generations. Jingjing is charmingly naïve and optimistic. He is an athlete noted for strength who represents the black Olympic ring.
In the intimate circle of Fuwa, Huanhuan is the big brother. He is a child of fire, symbolizing the Olympic Flame and the passion of sport -- and passion is the blessing he bestows. Huanhuan stands in the center of Fuwa as the core embodiment of the Olympic spirit. And while he inspires all with the passion to run faster, jump higher and be stronger, he is also open and inviting. Wherever the light of Huanhuan shines, the inviting warmth of Beijing 2008 -- and the wishful blessings of the Chinese people -- can be felt. The fiery designs of his head ornament are drawn from the famed Dunhuang murals -- with just a touch of China's traditional lucky designs. Huanhuan is outgoing and enthusiastic. He excels at all the ball games and represents the red Olympic ring.
Like all antelopes, Yingying is fast and agile and can swiftly cover great stretches of land as he races across the earth. A symbol of the vastness of China's landscape, the antelope carries the blessing of health, the strength of body that comes from harmony with nature. Yingying's flying pose captures the essence of a species unique to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, one of the first animals put under protection in China. The selection of the Tibetan Antelope reflects Beijing commitment to a Green Olympics. His head ornament incorporates several decorative styles from the Qinghai-Tibet and Sinkiang cultures and the ethnic design traditions of Western China. Strong in track and field events, Yingying is a quick-witted and agile boy who represents the yellow Olympic ring.
Every spring and summer, the children of Beijing have flown beautiful kites on the currents of wind that blow through the capital. Among the kite designs, the golden-winged swallow is traditionally one of the most popular. Nini's figure is drawn from this grand tradition of flying designs. Her golden wings symbolize the infinite sky and spread good-luck as a blessing wherever she flies. Swallow is also pronounced "yan" in Chinese, and Yanjing is what Beijing was called as an ancient capital city. Among Fuwa, Nini is as innocent and joyful as a swallow. She is strong in gymnastics and represents the green Olympic ring.

Information about April Fool's Day
2008-03-11 18:02:08
Have you been tricked? 你被人耍了吗?

Ha ha! Tricked you! 1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked by someone. It’s April Fool’s Day, a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them.There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day, but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century, which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year. Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools.
So what kind of pranks do people play on April Fool’s Day? Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off. You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up.
All these are small-scale practical jokes which you might play on one other person or a few people. But there’s also a tradition of large companies attempting to fool a lot of people. For example a burger restaurant once claimed that they were introducing a left-handed burger!
In particular, the media often try to make people believe something which is not true. Newspapers publish some ludicrous stories every year, although some of them are actually true. It’s entertaining to try to guess which stories are true and which are fake. In the April Fool’s stories, they often include a clue to the fact that it’s a joke. For example the name of an ‘expert’ quoted in the article might be an anagram of ‘April Fool’.
Radio and television programmes have also fooled many people by broadcasting reports which are untrue. One programme announced the invention of an amazing new weight-loss product - water which contained minus calories!
And one of the most famous hoaxes ever was broadcast by the BBC itself in 1957! A very serious news programme called Panorama reported on the poor spaghetti harvest in Switzerland, and showed pictures of farmers picking spaghetti from trees! Hundreds of people were taken in and wrote to the BBC asking how to grow their own spaghetti.

My feelings about life
2008-03-06 11:52:25
Time really flies. Everytime I surf the Internet, several hours pass by quickly. So I always think how quickly a person's life passes. several hours, many hours, countless hours, and then you are left with several hours and then you die! So treasuring time is treasing life itself, really!
The second thinking is that happiness doesn't come easily. We can feel it easily when it comes while we cannot create it easily. As for me, being unhappy is the usual condition, so I have been used to it! I don't care about whethrt I am happy or not!
The last but not the least point is that never say bad words about life however hard it is. Live your life and love it. Continue to do what you should do and keep up. You can choose to be down and desperate, and you can also choose to cheer up, that all depends on you!

Untill now, I cannot tell how the whole matter happened. I have to say "Small world!"

An introduction of Chinese in America---Chinatown
2008-03-02 15:26:07
Chinatown is called Tang Ren Jie. Do you know the source of its Chinese name? Let me tell you. In Chinese history, Tang was a strong dinasty. Overseas Chinese and Chinese call them "Tang People" The place where they gather is called "Chinatown" The biggest Chinatown in America is in Sanfrancisco, which dated back to the year of 1850. Chinese workers went their and developed South Shore of America. In the very beginning, they ran teahouses, eating houses and then tofu houses and and washing houses, which were intended for Chinese workers there. Later, more and more local people patronized these places and began calling the living zone "Chinatown".
Chinatown is a home for overseas Chinese, a gathering place for new overseas Chinese. It is a place called "a small china" by Americans. In spare time, they often go to play golf with friends especially the local people. Chinese businessmen also go to concerts and theaters. The activities are popular among people who ahve high status and succeed in the buisiness field. As for students, they like to go to the cinemas in their free time and take part in excercise clubs. Regardless of the entertainments, America is not a paradize for overseas Chinese.
In many Chinese' s eyes, America is a paradize for living and enjoying life. Located there, they can make more money and have a cozy life. However, every coin has two sides. It is not as good as they imajined. Many overseas Chinese lead a hard life. Let's introduce you more specific information to know more about life there.
Get to know life of learners. They mostly have received a good education. However, they have little fame in their career. They prefer choosing to mingle with Chinese people there with whom they can talk openly. Because they have the same culture and lifestyle and hold the same beliefs, they can understand each other better.
Perhaps, many Chinese take it for granted that America is full of gold. To go abroad also becomes the dream of more and more Chinese. But I want to say that East, west, home is is the best. On one side, our occupational immigrants, that are our blue-collars, are mostly employed in some low-tech industries. For example, many Chinese get manual occupations such as workers, builders, cleaners, cooks and so on. On ther other side, their are also many people from Fujian and Guangdong(two seaside provinces) provinces choosing restaurant industry as their occupation. They don't have high qualifications, nor can they get respect from local Americans. In a word, in America, Chinese staying in the high-tech industry are just the minority. However, the American employers have a very good impression on Chinese workers for they are diligent and good for management and can take work of high quality. Although many Chinese people are mostly employed in some junior occupations, they make a great contribution to the prosperty of America.
About the way overseas Chinese celebrate the festivals. They use the traditional way to celebrate the traditional festival-Spring Festival. Usually at this time, it is very clamorous in the street. Many people go out of their houses and hold all kinds of activities to express their happiness. The activities include dragon dance and lion dance performances. Some people write Spring Festival scrolls for America. At this time, many Americans also celebrate Spring Festival with Chinese. But for Chinese, it is very hard to adjust to American environment because of different cultures.
At usual time, their lives are not very good. Many Chinese shops are 24-hour open. There are also some strange phnomena which local Americans cannot understand. The first thing, a big Chinese family puck in a small and old house, but they try thrie hard and manage to buy an expensive car. Or they own a luxurious house but the inner wquipment and decoration cannot match it.
About business. Chinese run small businesses. Coz Chinese are unwilling to cooperate, A couple's owning a company or a single person's owning a company are popular types of business. There is no exception of well-educated Chinese. To be more competetive to foreign companies and bussinessmen, Chinese businessmen should join hands.
The unsatifying point of Chinatown is that the street is messy and dirty. It is much more dirty than American communities. However Chinese do much well at their homes, which Americans cannot understand. We can see Chinese lack public awareness from this.
