127 Hours

Aron is a man who is enthusiastic about outdoor sport fell down in a gap accidentally. Unfortunately, his right forearm was locked by a big rock. The big rock could not be moved by himself. Everything he could do had been tried, but Aron did not have a good result. During the 127 hours, Aron recalled many good and bad memories. He felt regret for missing his mother’s call many time and never called back. He also remember how did he know his ex-girlfriend and what did he do during childhood. Suddenly a idea occurred to him. He need to survive.

Finally, Aron did the decision to break his right forearm, and then used the blunt to cut down his right forearm. The appearance made me feel like vomiting. The details were too clear. Finally Aron’s right forearm separated from his body. He survived by himself. Although Aron lost a part of right forearm, now he is still enthusiastic to outdoor sport, such as mountain climbing, swimming, skiing…etc. The difference is that he always leaves a message to let his family know where he goes.

For surviving, Aron shows the great will and human’s toughness. I admire this man sincerely. I vibrate to his great will and toughness directly. Besides surviving will and brave, the movie tells me a truth, never do dangerous activities individually.

Prize Money 1,800,000,000

Lottery advertisements always convey the same message, a lottery is a hope. Taiwanese people normally need more money to have a better life and satisfy material needs. I, an average office worker, am as the same as other people who have a ordinary life. The same routine we do every day is “go to work”. We are living in a rapidly changing society, but most people’s pay cannot chase after changing speed. In order to earn money to buy a house or have a better life, people setting hops on lottery is easily understood.

Recently, lottery’s prize memory has been accumulated to NTD 1,800,000,000. Many people seemed to get lunatic. I can figure out a thing that money is very important to modern people. Living in the modern society comfortably is all citizens’ hope and so do I actually. How I or other people can earn more money without labor? Both Investment and speculation are sensible ways to access. The difference between them is the amount.

I did not join the game of super high prize money because I still think I am not the lucky man. Hope one day the God will also care for me and my job, and make me learn and get ahead every day.

A Worth Friend

“A good friend” in my mind does not only mean he/she has good relationship with me. Good relationship is the first condition. I will try to understand a acquaintance from his/her friends and behavior to identify if it is worth to associate with the person. Fortunately, I have made some nice friends in my short college life. I think that one of them to me is especially worth to make friend.

The worth friend is female. She has many merits. She is always like classmates’ sister and enthusiastic about every classmate’s class. That is not exaggeration. She is never stingy to share his English abilities. Preparing essential information for classmates has become her routine. If quarrels or disagreements happen between classmates and classmates or classmates and teachers, she always does the bridge for the two sides. Undoubtedly, above mentions make all classmates have good impression.

A person’s merits are usually the person’s defects. The worth friend’s enthusiasm frequently causes her to involve in many bad situations, such as gossips or bad classmates’ bad emotion. As the reasons, other classmates’ bad emotion usually reflects problems on her, but she always wants harmony or brings this class into harmony. What I can do for the worth friend is to tell her the truth incessantly. One of her good friend gave her a serious scold which finally made her understand what I frequently interpret about true humanity. I sincerely hope the worth friend can get stronger.

China People Scrape Mile Powers Drastically in Hong Kong

Now Hong Kong is lack of milk powders. As the incident of poisonous milk powders in China, China people would rather spend ore time or more money buying imported milk powders than buy ones made in China. On the other hand, the price hike with all livelihood products and the appreciation in the value of RMB in China are another reasons. Undoubtedly, they make people near Hong Kong scrape mile powders in Hong Kong. Hong Kong patriarchs worry that the lack of milk powders has impacted Hong Kong people’s rights and interests. Imported mild powders have become harder and harder to buy. Some stores with bad intentions have raise the price to get more profits. Hong Kong citizen has borne this situation for long time. Their patience are also getting disintegrated soon.

The incident of poisonous milk powders was a well-know news at that moment. Patriarchs fear that their children might become next victims since the incident burst. Gradually, consumers lost trusts at ilk powder manufacturer in China. As for now, people will buy milk powders not made in China as much as they can. This is not a short-term situation. In my opinion, food sanitation and currency problems might have to be solved firstly. Otherwise, China people’s needs will be contented from other countries or areas. That might cause more and more people living in third world having shortage food in the future.

Traveling abroad in the Chinese New Year

As we all know, the Chinese New Year is the most important traditional festival in Chinese culture. Family members have a reunion, sit around a round table, and eat dinner together. Elders have chats, children expect red envelopes, and people join many new year activities…etc. They are normal impression. The activities are not only relaxed but also important. Each family has different new year activities. The highest ratio of activities people will do is to go to travel or have a sightseeing. I also prefer spending my holidays abroad during new year vacation, and going to Hong Kong has become the routine.

Many people in Taiwan usually travel oversea during Chinese New Year and so do I. I have went to Hong Kong during every new year vacation since 8 eight years ago. Actually I also visited Macau, Shen Zhen and off-shore islands. Not only travel expense is cheap but also location is near Taiwan, the critical reason is that many friends are in Hong Kong. Fortunately, I have good friends in Hong Kong, I thanks them for their kind offers of homestay. The offers let me save many travel expenses and enjoy being a Hong Kong man provisionally. The high class restaurant in 5 stars hotel is not my choice but the normal restaurant. Go out with subway or bus, and take a taxi when I have no ideas to reach my destination. The Hong Kong’s eating custom is much different form Taiwan’s. A knowing smile always appears on my face when I remember the embarrassed joke. My friends gave me a astonished looks, because I drank the cup of tea whose purpose is to clean hands and tableware. Shopping is another enjoyment for electric appliances and apparels are so cheap. I cannot help but set my eye on the windows. Fireworks, traditional activities, dragon dance, shopping, staying in the small house and rambling on the streets where people move rapidly always enhance my memory.

Although most people put emphasis on reunion during the Chinese New Year, I am the one of the low proportion people who choose not to stay home but travel abroad. Workday tasks are work, work, and work. As the reason, spending holidays abroad during the new year vacation is very sensible. To experience different life can always enhance and upgrade combat efficiency to my work. If my finance is steady, I will follow the routine in the future.

One Example Is Worth A Thousand Arguments

Arguments, controversies, divergent opinions are usually happen between people. The arguments especially happen between parents and children. There is a saying in Chinese, Crooked down beams are caused of not straight up beams. The meaning is as the same as fish begins to rot from the head in English. Children who have bad habits are usually influenced by their parents. In Chinese culture, I think over 95% Fathers and Mothers overly put emphasis on their dignities. When controversies happen, they do never say sorry to parents. Although the right side is by children, parents also force children to commit faults. So up to now, my parents have never said sorry to me since I was born. One day, Arguments, controversies, and divergent opinions happened between my mother and me. I told my mother that if you say sorry, I will end this quarrel and ignore her faults. My mother had the impudence to reply me. Did you say sorry to me before? Why should I say sorry to you firsly?…..I was speechless again. So this is a typical family education in Taiwanese society.

Sleep

Not to mention that sleep is very important to human being, but human being usually don’t follow their biological clock. The reasons are from many situations, such as work, study, raising kids and elders…etc. I also go to bed late, but to be a night owl is not my intention. Sometimes I need to work overtime and sometime I need to study. I seldom nap after work for 2~3 hours, then do other things and study. Before mid-term and final-term, I usually stay up late. So now I have a wish, I want to sleep whole a day after my final-term.Not to mention that sleep is very important to human being, but human being usually don’t follow their biological clock.

A Mouse

One day, one of my company’s customers gave us a call for a trouble of using a new testing machine. With the call, the old women complained our machine could not be used anymore. Our sales man was very to listen her complaint and try to eliminate her problems by call. The old woman said that our machine did not work well and anything showed on the screen is unusual. She seriously told our sales man if we did not give her a elimination way, her company will return goods. The customer is very far from us, but my company finally sent an engineer to her. Our engineer checked all the details of machine, but found nothing abnormal. So the old women is requested to operate the machine. After booted, she started to say, see! Your machine is strange, the cursor can not click and the direction is also wrong. Our engineer told her that she didn’t use the mouse in right way, she use the mouse by the other way round……The old women also felt strange and asked our engineer, why? The mouse’s tail is back. Our engineer was speechless….

Refrigerator Magnets

Refrigerator magnets are those magnets which stuck on the refrigerators. Many kinds of refrigerator magnets we can easily see in the holiday resorts and tourism areas. Tourists usually bring some refrigerator magnets home in order to save their beautiful travel memory. Every tourism area usually has their own refrigerator can represent its features. A refrigerator magnet is good bath as a present and for one’s own enjoyment. I always buy some refrigerator magnets from where I travel. The price of a refrigerator magnet can also reflect the situation of its locating country. Same kind of magnets cost since cheap to expensive. No matter they are cheap or expensive, most of them are made in China.

Mutually Giving Presents

A present always make a person surprised. Not to mention the present is unexpected. People usually held this game on a festival or special day. Friends or family members prepare presents in advance. How exciting and amusing is the process of giving presents mutually and open them. Kind people always prepare nice, sweet or discreet presents; some people do not. The purpose of this game is to forward the good relationship. Receivers usually do not focus on the price, but they also feel bad if receive a strange present. For example, not practical things or garbage or used things. Recently I heard that my friend received a present with the game. What she received is a measuring tape……..at the moment, she was stunned and speechless.
