Dramar: Amber

     Tonight (Aprl 29th), My girl friend Zhang Tong and I went together to UM Culture center to see a dramar, named Amber, which is performed by J-One Drama from CMSA. The drama started from 7:30 pm and ended at approximately 9:30 pm.

     The Hero in this drama is called Gaoyuan, which is performed by Liu Yicheng. The character in this drama - Gaoyuan, is a hoody . He knows that he will die in every minutes because of his disease. Therefore, death is not a issue that is important for him. Except temptation, he can resist anything. 
     He is arrogant, rational and secular. However, everthing in the world are sharp contrast to his characteristics. He despise the world, look on everthing happening in the world. But, as he met Xiaoyou, the heroine of this drama,which is performed by Deng Yongxu, he cannot keep a long distance between him and the world. 
     When she kissed the wound on Gaoyuan's chest, he became unrest. Is he tempted by her, or she tempted by him? Because of her, he is fear of death. Now, he is the amber sleeping in her hand.

     The heroine in this drama, is called Xiaoyou, which is performed by Deng Yongxue. She once deeply loved fiance was dead after a car accident, and his heart was donated to Gaoyuan, the hero of this drama. The heart of his fiance was beating in another person's chest. His fiance said that whenever his heart exist, it means that he is still loving her, but can one person only love the heart of another? She, in order to get close to the heart, got contact with Gaoyuan. However, is she still loving his fiance or Gaoyuan? This brave and insistence girl now step into a dilemma: how can she choose between new and old love? She cannot control herself of falling love with another person. She loves the pain and brave inside the body of Gaoyuan. She said that whenever alive, falling love means not fear of any hurt.

Following is some reflection after I saw this drama:

     Why Amber is so treasure? Is it because of the life solidificated inside it, or only the transparency?

Why love is so touching? Is it because of the heart beating inside the body, or the person who makes the heart keep beating?



     This drama really makes me think a lot about the ever-existing theme - "LOVE". I think all the student performed in this drama are very talented and I like them all very much. I hope that J-One drama can become better and better in the future!

What a pitty - "Life with Uncertainty"

Today (April. 26th), I cannot go to HC talent show because I need to attain a makeup class, which is our Intermediate Microeconomics course. I haven't got the message informing about the makeup class until this morning...... As I am a year two student majoring in Economics and our professor GZ.Sun has been ill for a long time and tonight was his first class after recovery, so I have no reason but to attain. On the other hand, I am one helper for the HC talent show -----------------------------------------------------------

 

----------------------------------------------------------------

     I am responsible for the control room with Rockie and Bob. However, Rockie and I both need to attain the makeup class so both us cannot help tonight. What's more, I have practiced how to use the control room in the rehearsal day (April, 19th). Although I have done preperation and have the willingness to come, but I still end up with the result that I cannot attain. This makes me think that "Life is always with lots of uncertainty, no matter how well you palanned, and how hopefully something is, there may always come something unexpected"....  So that, we need to make some alternative choices before the uncertainty things happen. That's what I learnt from this experience. All in all, I think it is a huge pity that I cannot go to the show. But, as long as I can learn something from it, I think it is valuable.

Comment on "Yao Jiaxin"

     
   One news that shocked me recently is about "Yao Jiaxin". Fred told me some basic informantion about it, so that I search the detailed information on internet today. Although it is not really a "new" news, it made me think a lot. Today, I want to comment something on it.
     Who is he? He is a year 3 student from Xi'an Conservatory of Muscia in China. Late at night on 2010.10.20, he drove car and hit one person. Instead of taking that person to hospital, he stabbed the person to death and then ran away. When he were running away, again, he hurted two passengers twice when crossing the crossroads.
   How ridiculous he did!! I cannot help criticizing.....   The reason why he killed the person (one girl called Zhangmiao, is that he was afraid that she would remember the license plate number of his car and might cause some trouble in the future...  What a ridiculous reason....  from the information I got, the economic situation of his family is good. But how can he do something like this??  Isn't he a university student??? How can a university student behavor like this?? What's the quality of the university student nowadays in China????  I don't want to make a conclusion like most university student in mainland China are not quite quilified. But I want to say that some of them is not, at least Yao Jiaxin.  The only reason I can find to explain why he did so is of the educational system in China. As a Mainland China student, I don't want to criticize my motherland too much, but there is some word I cannot help saying...  I think the educational system in China focuses too much on academic ability, or more specifically, the scores on some exams that students can get, rather than the level of the morality. This is the first reason I can put forward.


   Second, I need to say that his family must has the responsibility for this crime because his parent didn't perform well their role to educate their son. How can a well-educated son did something like this??? That's really ridiculous. I think parents need to take their responsibility to do their part well. Good family can provide good environment for their children to grow, which in turn can benefit their morality.


   All in all, he was sentenced to death and got what he deserves because of his taking away the life of others on purpose, which I think can set some example for other students and the society, that bad person will definitely be punished in the end. I really hope that my motherland can do something to change the educational situation for the sake of her better development. I don't want that in the future, China has cultivated lots of low morality people but standing in the high social classes. This can totoally ruin the good thing that China has already established.

The experience of taking TOEFL on April 23rd

     April, 23rd, I have taken TOEFL test at Shenzhen, "Saige" talent training center with some classmates in HC. 

   Generally speaking, I don't think I did quite well in the test, or more specifically, I think I cannot fully take advantage of my ability. But all in all, it is over and the experience is quite unforgettable. This is not simply refer to the test experience, but refer to the whole process: preparation time (one day before the test, April 22nd, we go to Shenzhen from Zhuhai), the hardships of finding the exact location for the test, and the procedure of taking the test. Finally, the journey of going back to Zhuahi. I will talk about them one by one:

     The preparation time. I didn't prepare for this test well because it is required by HC that all students need to take TOEFL before May, so we have no choice but take the registration in a limited time. That's why we need to choose Shenzhen as the city we take exam. Otherwise, I will choose Macau>>>>> Definitely!!!!  If I need to retake TOEFL, I must do the registration far before the time I prefer (For you, if you want to register exam, please go to http://toefl.etest.net.cn/cn). 
     My suggestion is that you really need to register far before your preferred time since there are lots of people want to take it. One comment I want to add is that I cannot understand why ETS only set so limited number of test location in China? Because I cannot understand why there are lots schools and talent training center in Zhuhai, which have equiptment far better than the "Saige"( I have problem with computer in that center when I took my reading part test, the paragrah cannot display properly in the screen, so that I lost about 1 minute time......) I should compaint about this but I didn't do so because I don't want to retake the test in this location again, 3 hours to take by taking bus from Zhuhai to Shenzhen....
However, the most difficult thing is not the preperation, the process when I took test, it is the hardship for Roddic, Fred and I to find out the exact location of "Saige" talent training center....  Frankly speaking, I found that if I compare the hardnees of finding the place with the hardness of completing the test, I will say it without hasitation that finding the place is far more difficult.  Here is the experience I have encoutered: Firstly, we find the location listed in Google map, then we tried hard to find that location. We found for quite a long time, by asking numerous people, but still cannot get the exact place. By looking at the faces with ignorance, we feel somewhat depressed. But, one people in the post office helped us a lot. By referring to the map on internet again, he found that the center is located at the 7th floor of "Saige" Economy Building. So we headed straightforwaed to those building, which we have passed by at least 4 times because we cannot find the place. Hard, hard, hard.......... After we went into the building, climbed to the 7th floor, we were hitted by the fact that the center has moved to another place since last year. We were quite tired and depressed, but we cannot do anything else other than find the new location. So, we need to go back to our Hotel.......  Why? Because we need to use computer..........   It take us about 3 hours to walk on the road to find out the old location and went back to Hotel, which means 3 hours meaningless work.  After we went back to hotel, we used the computer to search for the new location. To our satisfaction, we found it on a BBS website, so we marked down the simple map on a paper and then began to find out the location by walking there. It didn't take us long- just half an hour....   But the hardship really made the experience unforgettable..
Finally, about how we came bcak to Zhuhai, we took the ship. I think it is better to take the ship if you are not afraid of dizy. It took only 1 hours for the ship to take us back, but 3 hours for the car to do so. What's more, coz we are students, it only costs us 90 yuan/person, but taking bus, it need 95 yuan/person. By the way, the service provided by Jiuzhougang Port in Zhuhai is quite good. It provide free bus to take the passengers from the port to Gongbei (China port), which I appreciate it very much sicne I haven't hearded some free bus similar to those casino buses in Macau.
That's all about what I want to said after I took the test. Now, I just want to pray for myself that I can get a satisfied mark.

My favorite song - 21 Guns

Long time no see, my friends.Last week I was so busy dealing with assignments, tests and presentations, after which I feel a little bit run out of energy. Today, I just came back from Shenzhen after the TOEFL test (April, 23th) and I am quite tired. Only at this point I found that I haven't listen to music for quite a long time. I know that music can make me relaxed and help improve work efficiency, moreover, reduce the pressure on my shoulder, but these weeks I just ignore it, which I think is not quite good for me. So, I'd like to talk about my favorite song - 21 Guns, which is song by green days. 


Following is the lyrics:

Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
You and I 

     The reason why I like this song is because of its theme: against war, which is the ever-existing theme along human kind's history. War do lots of harm to the development of human beings so that I strongly against it. The lyrics in this song reveal the strong opinion from the author that war is unnecessary and harmful, why not use our energy and time to do other things, to build a better world for all humans and for the next generation? The beautiful rhythm and melody have dragged me into those song ever since I listen to it. That is really amazing and fantastic masterpiece from my point of view. I strongly recommend all of you to try listening to this song. God bless all human beings, not suffer from wars anymore.
