  毛泽东同志是20世纪最有影响力的世界伟人之一，他用运筹帷幄决胜于千里之外的卓越军事才能带领苦难的中国人民推翻三座大山，缔造了崭新的社会主义中国，同时他行有余力的诗词创作，艺术性很高，大部分是经典之作，脍炙人口，万人咏唱，如黄钟大吕，震撼着人们的心灵，回荡与诗界的天空，这无论是从中国诗词史以及文学史，还是从当代世界文学史上看都是一种相当罕见的文学景观。毛泽东的诗词是他几十年革命实践的产物，是一个民族浴血奋战的英雄史诗，因此必然的成为中华民族文学宝库中无可替代的珍品，占据着一席特殊的位置。他的大部分传世词作都蕴涵着豪迈激情和深厚的使命感，本文将着力分析之。

   Chairman Mao was one of the most influential giant of the 20^th century. He was a predominant military talent, under whose leadership the Chinese people triumphed in the war against the old forces home and abroad, thus building up a new China.

His poetry comes form the practice of revolution and war, represents the history of a heroical nation, plays an important role in Chinese cultural treasury which is invaluable and irreplaceable. And the thesis will focus on his works featuring the passion and the sense of mission.

• Be My Guest

  2008-4-30

  The annual May Day is around the corner, as lots of classmates are leaving school for a happy time home or travel. I asked for a leave of almost 3 weeks to concentrate all I have on sth…but not chilling myself out at home or outside, I am staying at my “workplace” through the days.

   

  Just called home just now, who took up the phone was my 2-year-old niece, pretty and smart. She could tell me as uncle the first second I spoke, and then turned to my mom, her grandma, saying “it’s uncle”. Mom said she always rushes to pick up the phone whenever it rings, and claims no one could beat her to that. En, fair enough cuz everybody has a phone now, cell phone or telephone.

   

  Ok, speaking of my family, I wanna tell u more about my hometown.

   

  I come from a small place in Guangdong, not very rich though, it enjoys a reputation as the capital of bamboo, town of Wushu, and “Base of orange” recent years crowned. Yes, it’s Guangning county in Zhaoqing city, the nearest county to the Pearl river delta, for some reasons, however, it was left behind a lot in economy and civilization in the past decades of the policy of reform and opening up to the outside world, ashamed to its location, and some other medium-sized, county-turned cities nearby.

   

  Delighted to see that the local government seems to have found its way to make it a rocket economic entity, and remain a beautiful place to live, that is to develop tourism industry featuring it’s resource advantage—bamboo, the highlighted points on its name card. 4 years ago a tourist site was built named “the sea of bamboo”, which means all you can see is bamboo till the end of the horizon when you place yourself on the sightseeing tower. As a blast of wind sweeps, the green sea of bamboo waves and rolls quite spectacularly. Then you are left wondering is it for real or in dreams? Plus the refreshing air which it’s hard to find in any other places in Guangdong, you have to knock yourself out to breathe making every second of your stay in Guangning count.

   

  Oh, I was so much into advertising the place of interest, and almost forgot it’s just blogging.

   

  Ok, you are very welcome to my hometown, and be my guest.

   

  What about this May day vacation, or??

  Seek Happiness in Life - Live in a Tea Pot

  It's a famous tale of Chinese folklore about a man who loved tea so much that he decided to live in a tea pot.

  The deeper meaning is to do what you enjoy in life. If there is something that makes you happy, then make that thing the focus of your life. Life is too short to be stuck in some job or some thing that you don't likesful - but the more courageous person is the one who doesn't care so much about appearing successful in other people's eyes. This bold person is the one who takes time to enjoy life and good wine.

  LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST

  Enough (Drink more tea and smoke less)

  This painting of a man enjoying his pipe, wife, and dog is accompanied by this proverb:
  "You have enough in your life, so just be happy and enjoy what you have"
  You should not worry about trying to "get more" all the time. But rather, take time to enjoy the things you have.

  JOY

  Good Friends, xiang jian yi wu shi, bu lai chang yi jun

  This is the story of a man who invites a friend over for tea.
  His friend lives far away and he has not seen him in a long time. The story's point is that no matter how far away your friend lives or how long it has been since you've seen them, your friendship should always live on,

  Don't tell your secrets to a parrot

  This is the story of a man that wants to be left alone to read his books. He tells his parrot "If anyone comes, tell them that I am not here".

  Unfortunately the bird simply repeats "If anyone comes, tell them that I am not here" when people come to the door and so the man's secret is revealed.

  The story is actually an old and famous Chinese Joke. But is can also be used as daily advice, not give away your secrets to those whom you can not trust.

  Chinese Tea Philosophy

  This story says that if you drink one cup of Chinese tea, you will feel relaxed and comfortable.

  After you drink your second cup, you will feel happy, and your brain will feel like it's flying.

  And when you drink your third cup, all of your troubles and worries will melt away.

  Gone Fishing for Life

  This picture has a simple title, but the meaning is much deeper.The large bold black stroke represents your life and the many turns in it. Life is long but it sometimes may seem like you don't have enough time here.

  The act of fishing represents looking for something - such as meaning in your life. Perhaps when you finally catch that fish, then you will understand your purpose and the meaning of Your life - or perhaps it will bring more questions for you to answer.

  UNDERSTANDING

  The Mighty Family Man, qi jin gong ai qi you ai zi 

  This painting depicts the ancient Chinese philosophy that even the mightiest general in the army is a loving father, husband and family man when he is home just like other men.

  It is also suggested is that a man's responsibilities at home are as important as his obligations at work no matter his stature in society.

  In the picture, a great and powerful general of perhaps the Shang Dynasty (17th - 11th century B.C.) has returned from all of his important professional military obligations and is home playing with his son which is just as important in one's life.

  Seek Happiness in Life - Live in a Tea Pot

  The deeper meaning is to do what you enjoy in life. If there is something that makes you happy, then make that thing the focus of your life. Life is too short to be stuck in some job or some thing that you don't like

  ENTHUSIASM

  At Least I Have An Ass

  This painting tells of a man who is jealous of all the other men because they have horses, and all he has in an ass. As his mind ponders this thought, he turns his head and sees a man carrying a heavy load on his back.

  The man then realizes that he is lucky because at least he has an ass (and he shouldn't spend so much time comparing his ass with others).

  BEING GRATEFULL 

  Please Note:  You CAN´T apply this in human beings , your fds can be angry if you say "Hey baby, stop comparing yourself to other women, at least you have an ass".  Apparently this is already responsible for one divorce somewhere in Minnesota - lol.

  Go Fishing in the Mountains

  Maybe it seems silly to go fishing in the mountains, but we all need a place to get away and think.In this painting the man does not expect to catch fish, but rather is there to think and contemplate his life, or find solutions to any problems he might have, and just get away from the real world for a while.

  This painting is inspired by the story of a gifted philosopher and scholarly man named Yan Zi Ling who was called to service by Emperor Liu Che during the Han Dynasty. Yan Zi Ling did not want to take a position of authority in the government, fearing that holding such power, he would become corrupt.

  Even though he was a wise, talented, and honorable man, he knew that service in the imperial court could corrupt even the most ethical person. He felt so strongly about preserving his own integrity and dignity that he decided that it would be better to live in exile than to become another corrupt official.

  For several years, Emperor Liu Che sent men out to search the countryside and find Yan Zi Ling. But the emperor's men couldn't find him. Of course, the emperor's men had no idea that Yan Zi Ling now lives in his own special place in the mountains where he could get away from the trouble of the world

  REFLECTION

  ---

  And my favourite:

  

  Three Strangers Sharing Knowledge

  This painting depicts the ancient Chinese philosophy that even when people who don't know each other come together, they can learn from each other.

  One person must be the teacher and others learn. And in turn, the others become the teacher of the knowledge they posses.

  It is important to remember that we all have something to teach, and we all have something to learn as well. So if you are humble enough, learning never ends!!!

• My wife and I

  2008-4-13

  Hey, guys, I got some very funny quotes for you, just for laughter, hahaha

   

  My wife and I were happy for 20 years. Then we met.

   

  My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.

   

  My wife is always trying to get rid of me. The other day she told me to put the garbage out. I said to her I already did. She told me to go and keep an eye on it.

   

  My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive.

   

  My wife's jealousy is getting ridiculous. The other day she looked at my calendar and wanted to know who May was.

   

  A girl phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.

   

  I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.

   

  Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt. Because in every room he leaves a pyramid.

   

  My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.

   

  Yeah, I know I'm ugly... I said to a bartender, 'Make me a zombie.' He said 'God beat me to it.'

   

   

  Am I cool ???

• They can hear you, kid

  2008-4-13

  A man met a woman under the moon light for the first time when he was on the square sitting alone, listening to the music from the distance.

   

  The man said" I always talked to the moon when I was a child, felt like a fool, talking to myself"

   

  Woman:" no, not to yourself, here I am"

   

  Man look into the eyes of the woman...

   

  Woman:" what are u looking at?"

   

  Man:" you"

   

  Then, they kissed.

   

  Yep, that’s the most romantic scene in the movie “August Rush”, check it out, you can't miss it. I think it looks a little random to kiss someone in first meeting, but that's just the beauty of love, magic, amazing, and overwhelming... all come so natural, without any assuming storyline to make you feel unreal. However it feels unreal, cuz it comes off as fairytale, linked and guided by music, the prince and princess finally met, in the witness of the moon. They had the most amazing night in their lifetime, though following which was a long time of 12 years apart.

   

  She had his son. However it took her 12 years to know their son Evan Taylor (he made his name August rush) was still alive.

   

  August is a music whiz, inheriting the cells from his parents who both are musician. He is sensitive to every little sound that comes to him, he plays by ear, he loves music more than food, and he makes his living by playing guitar on the street and makes his way back home with music in his concert.

   

  The movie was like a musical tracked with lots of beautiful music that you can’t resist loving it, can’t help watching it for the second time just to review that audiovisual fun. Makes you think that music is really something, invisible but existing for real.

   

  August:” Where do you think it comes from, what I heard?”

   

  Sir:” It comes all around, comes through some of us, you can feel it.”

   

  August:” But why someone can hear it.”

   

  Sir:” Only some of them are listening.”

   

  August:” So my parents can hear it?” 

   

  Yes, they can hear you, kid.

   

  

  The city was his home

   

  

  play by ear

   

  

  music pulled them together again

   

  

  can't forget the flaming eyes

• Tomb-sweeping Day in GD

  2008-4-07

  April 4th was the tomb-sweeping day in China, the first time it came as a legal holiday. Plus the following weekend people have 3 days off, enabling those far away from home to pay a visit back to the hometown. I was one of them.

   

  I didn’t expect the situation could be that bad with no ticket to my hometown unsold in any passenger station in GZ on 3rd. But for the ticket my hometown fellow gave to me I couldn’t make it to go home that day, even though it took me 65 Yuan (50% risen) and 4 hours due to the terrible traffic condition.

   

  I don’t know if it’s worthwhile going all the way just to show our respect to the ancestors. The bus arranged to set out at 1:40 PM didn’t show up until 3:30, and I was kept in the jam-packed and stuffy passenger station for quite a long time, with nowhere to stand not even sit.

   

  People‘s keen on Tomb-sweeping day is not secondary to that on spring festival. The legalization of this holiday just encourages a home rush. Being serious with this day has been sth traditionally unchanged, even someone bad enough to abuse his old parents seems to have great loyalty to his ancestors, spending lots of money to commemorate them in an luxurious way in hope that his “good deed” would be rewarded in some way, like making a killing in the stock market or winning the lottery, hah, ridiculous enough, isn’t it?

   

  I noticed nowadays the countryside has been undertaking some profound changes, obviously indicated from the poor’s hate to the rich, and the rich’s scorn to the poor. Now the tomb-sweeping day is like a get-together for those working from different places far from the countryside, giving them a chance to show everybody they have made a lot of money, giving them a good reason to feel proud showing off his ACCORD to people who’s never seen a BENZ. Now it’s coming clear why they are keep on this day.

   

  Interesting !!

   

  What’s the most interesting is that, as is reported on TV, people nowadays not only burn “paper money” for their ancestors, but also some paper “computer”, “sports cars” “villas” and even “valentines”. OMG, they are really modern enough, even their ancestors could keep abreast with the time because of them. Regardless the modern stuff like computers or cars, would their grand grand ma go jealous when their grand grand pa receive a “valentine” from his grand grand son?

• How I think about the two sessions

  2008-4-02

  In the presentation by our second task force about “how we think about the 11^th ‘two sessions’ (NPC and CPPCC)”, we came to some conclusions after a long time discussion, during which we mainly focused on Zhang Yin, the ever richest woman in China, and her proposals to the CPPCC, as well as the unprecedented 3 migrant worker delegates (MWD) that show up in the NPC, one of whom named Hu Xiaoyan from an enterprise in Guangdong.

   

  As far as I am concerned, Zhang Yin as the delegate standing for the upper income groups in china has her right to defense and strive for their interests. That’s very reasonable and comprehensive when we know what interest group is. However it’s not a very good time for her. As we can see the proposals especially the first involving the labor law that is coming into practice soon, and the second trying to decrease the tax rate for the white collars, are challenging the authority of the legislative system, and testing the tolerance of the grass roots when china is facing the inflation and a very huge gap between the rich and the poor. Her ideas immediately stirred up lots of debates and criticism in the society and on the internet. And due to the great pressure received from the media she gave way to the public voice and apologized, stating that she is all for the new labor law.

   

  Actually I think Zhang is an honorable richest woman with patriotism. Her corporate is based in the U.S and Hk, however she spares no effort investing in the mainland these years creating many more jobs opportunities. So I reckon that netizons have no business criticizing her, but should be more rational and logical on her proposals themselves.

   

  The second highlight of the two sessions is the 3 migrant worker delegates. Definitely it’s a milestone in the development of democracy, since the migrant workers in china as a lower income group have a more legal way to express what they need, have their voice easily and impressively heard. However here come some questions.

   

  1)      What number of migrant worker delegates is appropriate for the 0.2 billion migrant workers behind them?

   

  2)    As we can see that the MWD Zhu Xueqin from Shanghai, is now a boss of a clothing factory, is he a migrant worker now? How can he speak for migrant workers? So I doubt how he was elected as a delegate.

   

  3)    Are the MWDs well educated and mind independent enough to be good delegates? They don’t seem to be speaking for the migrant workers behind them, but like the spokesman of the government when interviewed.

   

  I think there are sth more significant to do for migrant workers like to set a favorable social security policy for them or sth, rather than have several of them as delegates, being there as the so called “milestone”. Honestly, I do think there is a long way to go before their voice can be more powerful and easily and clearly heard.
