Imagine Peace

People take things for granted until one day wake up and realize that the world changed without notice. Things will never be the same; however, just like Lennon some people are still keeping the hope, imagine the peace and love when out of it…

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peaceYou may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

幻想没有天堂
只要你试试看,这很容易
在我们下面没有地狱
上面也只有天空
想像所有的人
都为今天而活

幻想没有国家
试试看,这并不难
没有杀戮或牺牲
也没有宗教
想像所有的人生活在和平之中
你可以说我在做梦
但我不是唯一的一个
希望有一天,你也能加入我们
世界就能合而为一

幻想没有占用
你可以吗
不再贪婪,没有饥饿
四海皆兄弟
想像所有的人
共同分享这世界

你可以说我在做梦
但我不是唯一的一个
希望有一天,你也能加入我们
世界就能合而为一

Ashes and Snow

Self Reflection

I, always consider the Honest is the fundamental principle for me for everything, and I even require my friends. So, I believe regular self reflection is a key to be happy, enjoy life and greater success. However, recently there is absence of honest cross countries, cultures and people. Seems no one care about self reflection and be honest! I don’t know those days, what one could see on the other side of the mirror each morning.

the tail wagging the dog

As the saying goes " the tail wagging the dog” means that the least important part of a situation has too much influence over the most important part, which quite described the present time in China, where something of greater significance, Sino-Tibet issue is driven by something less, such as anti-CNN, anti-France, anti-Wang(Duke student). Therefore, I think the movie “Wag the Dog” is a perfect illustration of the current relation between West and China.

And, who are the dog and what the tail represents? Some may suggest that the bog symbolizes public opinion, and the tail represents the media or the government; others suggest that the dog is the media, and the tail is political campaigns. But all in all, where the truth lies? Who is the producer? It reminds me the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, and American war in Iraq. No doubt this is a great movie. I did enjoy the movie despite now it is so hard for me to believe the media.
