34 Welcome to Wuhan...

Wuhan is my hometown, which is the capital of the Hubei province - a modern metropolis with unlimited possibilities, situated in the heart of China. Wuhan is an energetic city, a commercial centre of finance, industry, trade and science, with many international companies located here. Having scientific, technological and educational institutions such as Laser City and the Wuhan University, the city is also an intellectual centre. With a history that dates back more than 3,500 years, Wuhan is one of the “Chinese Famous Cities of History and Culture”. Here and around East Lake you will find historical sites and beautiful nature. The main landmark inside the city is the Yellow Crane Tower. Situated at the crossroads of central China; Wuhan is a transportation hub for air, railway as well as ferry traffic. The distance from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is more or less equal. And the giant Yangtze River (Chang Jiang), the world's third longest river, and the Han River pass through the city. If you have chance, you may choose Wuhan for a vacationing.

33 Plan

          I will go back china this summer after I finish first summer session. I miss my family and Chinese food. I will use this summer to have a great rest in china. I hope I will have enough time with my family and friends. I also want to find a internship in bank which is useful for my major. Moreover, I will travel to some places in china which I wanted to go before. Although I just have 60 days for vacation, I still can do some meaningful things. After I go back to china, I will tell the things which happened in the US to my family and friends. I want to share my experience with them.

30 Blood Diamond

         In 1999, in Sierra Leone, the fisherman Solomon Vandy dreams on the day that his young son Dia Vandy will become a doctor. His dreams are shattered when the rebels invade his village and kidnap him to work in the diamond mines. Solomon finds a huge pink diamond and while hiding it, the commandant of the rebels sees, but the rebels are attacked and Salomon is arrested by the government army. While in jail, the wounded commandant tell the prisoners that Salomon found the stone, and the mercenary smuggler Danny Archer from Zimbabwe releases Salomon and proposes to exchange the diamond by his missing family. Using the idealistic American journalist Maddy Bowen, Danny locates the wife and daughters of Salomon in a refugee camp, but is informed that his son has been recruited by the rebels. Salomon and Danny consolidate a partnership, with Salomon looking for and finding his son, and Danny looking for the diamond and finding redemption.

         I know this movie from my classmate. And I think it is a good movie, which attract me want to watch it one more time. The perfect balance between entertainment and a thoughtful social commentary helps the center of the story to have a real heart and a palpable respect for audience. Blood Diamond is the kind of action film that makes you think that a moment of love, even in a bad man, can give meaning to a life...

29 Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.

The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.

But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!

Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away 

28 Happy birthday to Chao

       Tomorrow is Chao's 21st Birthday... We celebrated his birthday for him today... We went to the Wcculloch park to have BBQ... Nearly forty Chinese came to his birthday party. It is a big party. During his party we palyed some games which we only palyed when we were at primary school. However, we felt happy to paly those games. Also we palyed slide, swing, and seesaw. That made me feel I am a young child. I found that some easy games and playthings can make a big happy. Happy birthday to you, Chao!!!
