Here is the report from Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on the standard monthly wages of white-collar workers in China. Surprisingly, Lhasa, the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region is listed at the bottom with 900RMB($130)/month. As 18,500RMB($2,700) per month, Hong Kong is listed on the top line. Beijing and Shanghai, with 5,000RMB and 5,350 are grouped in the second level.

But then,,just after few days on Xinhua News and released by National Bureau of Statistics of China on average wage level cross China. Tibet(32,436RMB) rank the top three, with Beijng(39,663RMB) on the first and Shanghai(39,004RMB) on the second place.

I am not quite sure how these calculation been done and where were these data source from? Interestingly, the article also listed top three average wage level in different sectors. The financial industry, is considered as the top industry, and followed by IT on the second and electric power, gas, water production and supply on the third place. It is almost impossible that Tibet could make average wage as higher as than Guangfdong or Nanjing, or even Sichuan, given these sectors are just rising industry in Tibet. But then....What is What? True things are false, for if the things be true

Is Anything Really Possible!

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer." - Chicago, Illinois 4 Nov 2008

Tonight, Obama and Amercian people made the history. No matter how bad and what people say about United States, it is a land of opportunity. I remember a Chinese moive had famous quote, it goes: 如果你爱一个人，送他去纽约，因为那里是天堂；如果你恨一个人，送他去纽约，因为那里是地狱。in translation, " If you love someone, send him to New York, for it's heaven; if you hate someone, send him to New York, for it's hell. " And I guess after today, most of people would love to live in US, as it is now. Anything is possible!

But then, I am wondering, is possible for an ordinaroy Tibetan be somebody in China? I don't know, really. I wish anything is possible all over the world. Be happy, be yourself, and be contributor to the society.
