Today is a special day when everybody is using a specific approach to explicit expression of attitude against anti-China power. 

In addition to Carrefour, I think all the French businesses and enterprises should be boycotted. The goodwill should be established on the basis of mutual befriending and reciprocity. France is using a notorious method dealing with China. On the one hand, they advocate one-china-policy, one the other hand; they agitate anti-China emotion and support the independence of Tibet. Such kind of nasty trick is intolerable and unacceptable. We’ve been seeing the recurring of many events that hurt the emotion of Chinese people and impair the bilateral relationship. It will serve as a hurdle between the prospective cooperation of the two countries.

Besides, USA is a son of bitch as well. I watched the video that includes the humiliating content. The guest said that “we continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export” and “they're basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they've been for the last 50 years." 

I, as a well educated person, rarely used any swearing words in public, because I care about my image. For me, it’s hard to imagine that such kind of coarse language was broadcast on a mainstream American media. These words assaulted all Chinese people without any substantive proof. Since they insulted us as “goons and thugs”, it’s fair enough for me to address them ‘son of bitch’.

America’s economy is in recession and ours is moving up. It’s fair enough to construe that they are jealous. China is becoming a super powerhouse in the world.

Talk shows on financial, economics and business are very attractive to me. All the people being invited and interviewed are elites from the various walks of life. I learn much from their talking.

Mr. Tang, the once CEO of Microsoft (China) is a celebrity. He climbed the ladder from an ordinary engineer to the top managing executive in 10 years. However, in a personnel replacement on top level, which is of no omen before, he filed resignation, declaring retirement in Microsoft. As a professional manager, he has reached the peak. Whereas I could still perceive that in a multinational enterprise, how tiny and small the position of a country managing director is. Within the kingdom of Microsoft constructed by Bill Gates, there are so many Tangs. If we capture the opportunity of getting insider insights into these elites, we will find out that the embarrassment, helplessness and plight they are confronted with are similar with what we as ordinary people are facing.

Mr. Wei is another people deserving mention. He was only in his thirties when becoming the CEO for B&Q. He has lots of ideas, many of which I do agree with. For example, he says three important criteria of a job, namely the opportunity to gain new knowledge, paycheck and work environment enjoy different priorities at different life stages. For a new graduate, he or she should regard the improvement in work ability as the most important in order to increase his or her core competence or competitive advantages. He or she should not attach too much importance to paycheck and work environment. In the forties, being knowledgeable enough about the industry and business, it is the right time to pursue high salary. In the fifties, a good environment enjoys the priority. I think this philosophy is very enlightening.

PS, Wei graduated form Shanghai foreign language university, but his English falls short of my expectation.

一直以来都很喜欢看《财富人生》这档财经类访谈节目。受访嘉宾都是人中精英，可以从他们的言谈中感受很多、体会很多。

唐骏一直是个风头人物。在微软十年，从一个普通工程师一直做到中国区总裁。可是却在一场毫无征兆的高层人事调动中，提交辞呈，宣布退休。对于一个职业经理人来说，他是登峰造极了。但是从他泪洒为他举行的送别音乐会中，我也深深地感到在一个跨国企业中，一个中国的职业经理人是何等地渺小。在比尔盖茨构建的微软王国中，有多少个唐骏啊！当我们有机会一窥那些精英的内心世界时，我们会发现其实他们面临很多尴尬、窘迫和无奈和普通人和相似。

卫哲是另一个光环人物。三十来岁就担任百安居中国区的总裁。他是一个很有想法的人，很多观点我很认同。比如他说，工作的三个方面，新知、薪水和环境在一个人不同的人生阶段有不同的轻重缓急。一个从大学里刚毕业的年轻人不要太看重薪水，也不要太计较工作环境，关键要看能不能从工作中不断学到新的东西，增加自己的核心竞争力（core competency）。到了四十岁，基本对行业相当了解了，那么该是到了追求高薪的时候。而到了五十岁，有一个良好的工作环境当是工作的首选。这样的理念，我认为对年轻人是很有启发的。

PS：卫哲是上外毕业的，又到英国去留过学。但是他的英文没有我想象的那么好。

Feel unexplainably sad. During five years after graduation from university, I had exchanges with her off and on. Due to commitment into my own career, I didn’t invest much time on maintenance of this friendship. Recently, her image came into my mind frequently. Holding unrestrainedly nostalgia, I sent her an email, trying to re-connect the once terminated exchange. To my disappointment, there was no response, despite my continuous efforts to dial her cell phone number.

Depressed, lost and sad.

What’s up? Is everything going all right with her?

I tried hard to search her information on online. Unexpectedly, I found her resume. It’s her, definitely!!!!

Marital Statue: Married

Expected working place: Xi’An City, ShanXi Province

What, she has got married? I couldn’t believe in what I read. Why did she move from Shanghai to Xi’An? Unimaginably queer！Unbelievable!!!

She has excellent English skills, acquiring Advanced Certificate of Oral Interpretation during university period. I always wanted to have a competition with her and see whose English is better. I couldn’t imagine what has happened to her during the recent period of time. Why did she move to Xi’An? Did she go with her husband? What kind of person she married? She always has high criteria and standard, but why did she reconcile herself to a life in Xi’An? I can’t understand at all.

Feel blank and my heart was filled with unexplainable sorrow. The once school mate and buddy are now living apart，even being away from home. I feel I may have lost her forever.

Her cell phone is still off power, just like she has disappeared from the world. I feel very regret that I didn’t pay much attention to her due to full commitment into works. It is to late now!

The preciousness of possession will never be valued until it is lost. I have barely realized her weighting in my heart, until I totally lost her.

Yesterday, I saw a televised debate between Cairo University and Korean LiHua Woman University. The topic is “Should people do plastic surgery in order to become more beautiful ONLY?” Cairo University is on the advocating side and LiHua Woman University on the opposite side.

I was impressed by their extraordinary language skills. The whole debate was in Mandarin. To my astonishment, they could speak Chinese so fluently to the extent that is beyond my wildest imagination. As a language learner myself, I understand definitely how hard it is to master a foreign languages. The process of learning is painstaking and stressful, which requires tremendous efforts and consistent persistence.

Besides, I was also impressed by their knowledge in some widely used slang and idioms, such as “二百五”、“倒插门” etc. Slang and idioms are very grass roots languages, which are hard to pick up without deep understanding about a country’s specific conventions and customs.

Of course, it has something to do with people’s native languages. It will be much easier for people to learn a foreign language of high similarity with their native languages. This is the underlying reason why Korean and Japanese always speak better Chinese languages than westerners do.
