Nationality?

16th April, 2007. Morning.
33 lives were taken, in the Virginia Tech University.
Just few min later, Chicago Sun-Times reported that the butcher is a Chinese student.
This news report had made our entire domestic news media and headers shock.
Then, the argument began. All around the murderer’s nationality.
But, why the concern?

Shouldn’t we do more concern about the incident itself? There is 33 lives gone away.
Yes, if the murderer is a Chinese, that may cause the hardership for our exchange students and much more rare visa.
However, we should not be so selfish. Every life is much more valuable than anything else, let alone the beautiful young lives.
Some critiques show their concern more about Where. Why United States.

Apparently, the administration of the arms in US should be responsible for these massacres.
But put the huge part of the responsibility to the regime may sounds unwise. We do not have such massacres right now, but we still have many social and school violent incidents. Accompanied with the social development, the spiritual problems would keep growing.
Thus, we should do our efforts on the concerns of individuals, not only the material levels, but also the spiritual ones.

Saddam Hussein - Name of Classic
Voice
5 Comments

Saddam
Saddam Hussein, dictator, maybe.
But on behalf of a sovereign state.

Today, he was killed.
By the dependent power,
which is also overridden.

As a citizen of People’s Republic of China.
These may seem nothing to do with me.
But what I want to express, is about the ruin of a independent state,
which marks the death of Saddam as the symbol,
has been fallen.

Look at this country, we know too much about the helpless of the people there,
‘Cause we were passing the very similar dark age before.
They are now standing on the fore as we did, suffering the pains of disruption.

Saddam is just a sacrifice lamb of the occidental forces.
After his death, the voice of Iraq, sinks.

无非不就是在线的文档解决方案吗?也就是Thinkfree之类的在线文档编辑、Google的spreadsheet和Writely之类的吗?本文将尝试深度解读Writely消逝之后的Office时代发展意义。

Mourn for the Naturalist
Voice none
2 Comments

Stephen Robert Irwin , no matter you have heard of this name or not,
famous as the Crocodile Hunter.
should be an admirable compere and wild animal protector.

Now, he’s gone.
Died in the sea. Attacked by a fierce stingray.
At 11:00 a.m. local time (01:00 UTC) on 4 September 2006.

We should keep those memories of this fearless warrior.
In those TV programs of Discovery Channel.
And those of his smart and beautiful assistant — his wife Terri,
that cutie doggy with the cowboy scarf.

Mourn for this naturalist.

悼念史蒂夫•艾尔文。
在公交车上听到这则消息的时候,我一下子从昏迷的状态惊醒了,是他吗?
当看到那张熟悉的面孔时,突然很难受
尽管您可能对这个名字十分陌生,但很可能您和您的家人曾在电视上看过史蒂夫真实、大胆的捕捉各种野生动物的场景,
尤其是他赤手空拳在河流中捕捉鳄鱼的场景。

因为他从小对鳄鱼的了解和在著名电视系列节目《鳄鱼捕手》中的精彩表演,他被惯称为“鳄鱼捕手”。
然而他不是一个只知道捕捉猎物的猎手,他创立的 Wildlife Warriors Worldwide (原名史蒂夫•艾尔文环保基金会)在对澳洲的野生动物保护起到了相当重要的作用
他个人的影响更是波及到了全部澳洲民众。
我依稀还记得他在电视上一直幽默的言谈,和对野生动物(特别是各种爬行动物)的丰富认识。
我还依稀记得在《探索频道•动物星球》的《鳄鱼猎手》节目中他可爱的女助手——她的妻子。
还有新闻刊物上他和她的女儿的风趣照片。

希望他的家人一切都好。

Ken Wong: Gseeker
Firefox Voice
5 Comments

I found so many firefox.net.cn users went to Gseeker everyday.
It’s a little bit funny to see so many comments at Gseeker are all our buddies.
Google is always the big company of Mozilla Firefox,
However, as the most famous Google fan, Ken Wong, the master of Gseeker seems to have no interest in neither Firefox nor Linux,
which are most Google workers’ favors.
Thus, it is somehow disappointing.

Firefox and Linux have many same essential things with Google,
that is the open mind, I think.
So they never fought alone.

十分惊奇的是,在Gseeker上面看到了n多Firefox中文社区的兄弟们
都挤在幻灭的blog留言本里,感觉十分亲切。
大家都喜欢来Gseeker,就是因为Google是Mozilla最强有力的合作伙伴,
Google的精神和Firefox、Linux的自由、开源精神是完全合拍的。所以Firefox和Linux也一直是Google员工的绝对最爱。
然而没有想到的是幻灭对Firefox和Linux都一直持有抵触态度,
真是让人大跌眼镜。

The History of the Intelletuals
Voice
3 Comments

中学生,副教授。博不精,专不透。名虽扬,实不够。高不成,低不就。瘫趋左,派曾右。面微圆,皮欠厚。妻已亡,并无后。丧犹新,病照旧。六十六,非不寿。八宝山,渐相凑。计平生,谥曰陋。身与名,一齐臭。

当易中天引用启功先生的这段“墓志铭”的时候,他是充满敬佩的,但同时更多的是一种那个时代的知识分子的一种共鸣。
说实话,我不明白为什么易中天在央视出名后,会有那么多的批评。应该说事实是,如果我没有看到央视后来对易中天的访谈节目,我根本没有想到会有很多人批评他。
其实《百家讲坛》不过是一个文化普及的平台,是一个面向大众的半学术讲坛,所以普及知识、扩展视野是第一位的,至于讲授的风格内容,只要能看、好看,没有常识性错误,分析逻辑较合理即可,其他的就是个人观点问题,既然有个人的观点,那么自己保留便是了。
在这里我不想对这些争论评价太多,还是讲一讲我对易中天的感觉。
易中天是一个坦诚的人。他有着那个时代知识分子的历练和朴素的情怀,在经历了那个时代的淳朴与麻木,人往往是在平和中透露真挚的。他直言他在高考后报考了研究生的原因就是害怕和自己的学生一起上高考高场却看到自己的学生考上自己没看上。他更是坦言自己从武汉转去厦门就是因为受不了武汉的气候,想去养老。
易中天因而又是一个幽默中无可不散发睿智的人。
在那个时代的学者其实都有这类似的遭遇,就拿熟悉的这些导师来说,北京大学的钱理群先生,汕头大学的王富仁先生(原北京师范大学),他们也都是在文革结束前在中学教书,改革开放后开始进入大学学习,一生过着清贫而自足的生活。易中天与他们一样,都有那个时代学者的儒雅之气、平静中的力量,习惯去用真实坦然的一面去面对所有人,又同样在力量的张显中小心翼翼,这是那个时代知识分子的印记。但易中天与这些大师相比所不同的是,他比这些大师拥有更多现实的记忆。在访谈中,易中天谈到自己留任武汉大学之后却一直不济,担任了10年的讲师,直到离任前才被升为副教授,单位所分配的住房却只有10平米,在武汉这样一个极燥极冻的地方,这确实是难以忍受的,所以易中天在平静中的幽默和力量似乎更有一种摩罗似的风格。
然而易中天便是易中天,他是真实去生活的人,所以他前往了厦门,在厦门,他的思想和风格逐渐形成起来,因而颇受欢迎了。所以易中天前往《百家讲坛》不是不无道理的。
易中天即将退休,退休后的他不会再留在校园之中了,那么我希望他能真正离开公众的视线,因为易中天在我的感觉中始终是一个真实的知识分子,他应该有自己的时间去过他自己的生活,正如他所说:“去居委会报道登记,在康乐室里和牌友打打麻将。”这样一个真实的易中天感觉更像是一个充满睿智却亲密的长辈,希望一切都好。
