Does Taiwan Love to Read?

"The popularity of the Taipei International Book Exhibition seems to indicate that we live in a nation that loves to read, but a closer examination may point to a different conclusion, for most of the crowds visiting the fair have actually been attracted by the comics and animation pavilion, while the literary section received much less attention."
Copy from CTS news program.

As we can realize that the sentence can be described the Taipei International book Exhibition is "people mountain people sea". But most of people seem attracted by comics and animation pavilion that mentioned from the report only. In my words, it's not a good way to learn or to have knowledges from the comics. We have to get those information from some specific books, for example, we can learn the literature or culture from the novel of the worldwide, or know about the technology form the science books.

It's really import to cultivate reading habit in the childhood and develop competitiveness through extensive reading. It's not easy to request the child to sit on the chair to read if we miss this time. Those children can't concentrate on something. And then they may lose more opportunities to learn the sense they have to learn. They will only tell you what the actor in comic do something.

The language books and non-fictions could be found in exhibition besides literature books. The people who need this kind of books could have some discount in this exhibition. But we still can't find any book from China. It's not a good policy to forbid the people to learn the knowledge from the China. We hope the related departments can fact up this problem. They have no reasons to divest of Taiwan reader's rights.

China Tourist!

Few days ago, I saw a news which mentioned the tourists of China can't stand on the line from CTV, and then they were attacking brutally. According to the reporter, it's not first time that happened in the mountain of A-Li because of trains less. A man who throw a bottle to another tourist spoke that the guy on the train didn't stand on the line. He must get out from the train. If this guy follow the rule to up to the train. No problems will be caused in the peak season. Don't they realize that it will take more time to solve their unexpected problem. And it also effected the rights of the others people. What you will do when you see the Chinese tourist who has aggressivity in Taiwan? Frankly, let them go first; or you want a bottle hit by your head.

Another news about the tourist of China in Macao. Per local journalist, a man, tourist from Liaolin of China, struck a tour guide due to that the guide didn't show up the sign which list their group name and number. It's not easy to understand his behavior. Can the guy see the sign after hurt the tour guide? The answer is obviously not. Does it really need to fight for this kind of small potato? After that, the guy who attacked the guide was disappeared. Strange things always happen in the world, doesn't it?

Even the China tourist are bring a large of income in Taiwan even more over of the world. But some of tourist have to face their big problem. Not everything can be solved by their money and attack, such as China's reputation and dignity. Take more concern when your behavior couldn't accept by the common social people. Do you still want to do it? Or you want the people of the world open their arms to welcome you and your country?

Friend?

He always tell me the words that I don't want to hear. He never spend time with me when I need his emotional support. He always busy on his new product or business when I want to have a dinner with him. I can't find a common interest and have a great rapport with him. He never do the home job when he has free time. And he... Actually, we had a great great friendship when we met each other several years ago. Why I have such more complaints with him?

He sent me roses when the Valentine's Day was coming. And he had called me when he arrived his building, and told me what funny stories he met today. We could have conversation for more than two hours every day. And we never feel boring even our sentences is same as always. He took me home after our dating and said a lot of sweet words once arrived to my place. He always said he like the dinner I cooked, and then he always wash the dish after dinner. We had such more romantics in our memories. Why those memories have become my mares?

Is it alright to become a couple when you call friend each other? Yes, he have changed when we become a couple. And he said that I think too much about his actions or words. The habit is the result after become the couple. Friends should be friends only. Because simple is the best way to keep the friendship each other. What you think?

Lunar Year.

Lunar year was passed again, and the New Year is coming as usual. This year is a special day because of that my father’s memorial tablet was settled on Feb 02.

My mother was come to my house at that day in the morning. My brother, sister-in-law and their girl came to my place half hour later. My son was gone to grandmother-in-law can’t attend this ceremony last month. However, we had started the ceremony at eleven o’clock when we prepared food and fruits.

At beginning, the teacher asked us to do obeisance to my father before he arrived. We follow his instruction that prepared the six plates of vegetable food, paper made to resemble money and paper lotus flower that made by myself. My mother begged him to protect our health. And I told him don’t worry about his wife, because I will take care of her, my mother, as I can. Then the paper was burned and offering to my father by my brother and I.

Later, the teacher with his partner were arrived my house at afternoon. We prepared another food and fruits to our ancestry in order to combine my father’s incense burner with our ancestry. I am waiting this day almost two years. And the ceremony was started with teacher’s words which can’t realize what he was talking about.

After a quarter of an hour, the teacher instructed my whole family to say something to our forebears and my father. Then the ceremony was done with our million memories.

Finally, my father has his own house now. We are so glad because of memorial tablet settling. It seems that I can put down the stone in my heart. Everything is going smoothly now. Father, I love and miss you.

The best way of life is "be yourself".

55 stories were wrote in this book getting from my study-mate Kevin. And these stories are telling you how to be yourself. Let you find yourself again. Many people lose their selves due to ingratiating someone's wish. For example, you are looking forward to being rich man, or be a doctor... etc. Are you really happy if you are a rich man or have a great job? I want to share some feeling of this book to you, and hope you can love yourself as I am.

The first feeling is love. You have to understand how to love yourself, and take your body and mind in good care, and then you have abilities to love the someone who you want to. And this kind of love is truly and happily. You must feel that you always lose something or do something for someone without your hoping if you don't know how to love yourself. But you wouldn't feel happy if you have this feeling. And what the people will do if they love their selves? The answer is giving. If you feel that you can offer your love to someone. It's happiness. Let's try to offer, to give. You may realize that you will have different feeling.

The second is desire. We may feel sad when we can't get what we want. Or we may hope someone who stay next to us can match our hope. And we would feel angry or disappointed. But, we really have to learn how to stop our desire, and ask ourselves that is it your really want? There are so much desire in our life, and we can't catch every desire every time. Therefore, we might consider that is it really our need? You may feel that pain disappeared.

Our life is controlling in our hands. We can't always follow anyone's words; otherwise, we never have the real happy in our short life.
