    happen to meet a foreigner

    Today i went to Pudong Library to read books. It was quite strange that on my way there in the morning, i suddenly thought we hv so much English lessons these years but we still cannot communicate with native speakers naturally. Maybe i should try to go to some high quailty English Corners.
    After reading books, i took Bus No.640 to go back. A foreigner went on the bus in Pujian RD. He looked strange for he's always watching out of window. i thought maybe he would go to Wal Mart since many foreigners like do shopping there. But he didnt went off... i looked at him with puzzled eyes. After a while, he realised that i was gazing at him. He looked out of the window again and then walked to the conductor and tried to ask road. i was far from them and couldnt hear what they are talking abt. i wanted to help him but i thought it maybe not polite enough. How can i say "Hi,man! Can i help you?" or "Hey,buddy! R u in trouble and need some directions?" The knowledge on books seemed plain in the actual situation.
    Finally he walked to me and asked me:"Can you speak English?" i could feel he's not sure whether he could find someone to help him so he didnt ask anyone for help... i gave him a quite sure answer and asked where do he want to go. Oh~ he'd like to go to Jinmao Tower. How can he take this bus? No.640 cannot go there, then he should change for another bus. Maybe No.82? i am also not sure. So i asked the passengers on the bus. i am now the interpretor between the local and the exotic. They told me taking No.82 is a best choice. The terminal is LuJiaZui and he could walked to Jinmao Tower.
    So i went off the bus and walked to the No.82 bus stop with him. i tried to express to him that he could take No.82 to the terminal (At that time, i forget the word terminal, i said external or internal, i didnt thought it was right, so i said the final stop instead...) and them get off and he will found the highest building in LuJiaZui.
    For he didnt hv an appointment to go there, so i walked with him casually on the Pu San RD. We had a happy chat.
    Aha, i knew he was from Germany, and then i could help saying i like German very much and i like Schumacher brothers! He began to smile... Maybe he isnt a Formula One fans i thought. He has been in Shanghai for 2 months for business in Nanhui. And he also celebrate Chinese New Year's Day here.
    He has got a strange point of view that he could find person who can speak English here hard. Why do i always think Shanghainese r now better qualified? He praised my English and i told him i am a sophomore.(i dont know whether German has this kind of degree in their university) i finally took him to the bus stop and waved farewell.
     
    i dont know whether he could to there smoothly and r there any friends will pick him in LuJiaZui. Maybe in that area, he can easily find someone to help him.
     
    Now i began to think why hvnt i asked his MSN Messenger and then we can chat on line...HAHA... Hey! It is just a miracle!

    This semester maybe you cannot see some tough courses such as Machine-Processed Basics or Basis of Electrotechnics & Electronic Techniques.
    But i still think it is not easy!
    1) Import and Export Practice and Priciples of Management Science are our degree course.
    2) Japanese is a big obstacle  for me. i am not comfortable for it. And i even did a poor job in senior high school. In fact, it is totally new for me.
    3) i am now preparing for NCRE 2 this year in April, it is also very challenging. Besides, i hv to pass CET-6 and BEC Vantage this year.

    Feb 11th's Back to My Senior High School

    (i didnt write this diary of Feb 11th in time 'cos i hvnt unscrambled my thoughts.)
     
    Now let me tell the story of that day.
    At abt 9 AM before the school gate, i met Sueky Lee, and she changed a lot, not only the hair style but also her dress style and make up style... Then my classmates came one after another conclude Raye Jiang, San Shi, Nancy Fang, Stella Wang, Rainbow Gu, Joe Huang, Relena Shen and some boys from Boy's class.
    Before we went into school, we happened to find Mr. Yu Helun (our geography teacher). He was called old gentlman by us in our school days. He was happy to see us, and asked us whether we still know his family name. Off course, we wont forget.
    We cannot wait for Andy Huang for more, so Raye, Joe and i, we three of history class want go to campus first to see Mr. Dong Yiming. It was not very luckily that all the heads r hving a meeting.
    So we went to North Building-2. We chatted with Ms. Lu Chunyin, our PE teacher in the playground. And we ran come across Ms. Bian Hui upstairs. We went to Senior 3 teacher's office first. To my surprise, now there r 2 offices for all the teachers teach Senior 3 (not only the class teachers).
    We visited Ms. Wang Yanhong in 2nd floor office. Then, we went on going to the 3rd floor office. We found some familiar faces in it. Mr. Zhang Youwu and Ms. Feng Shumei, Mr. Shen Lan...
    Mr. Zhang Youwu was quite happy for our visiting, he was quite moved and he was busy carring chairs, pouring water for us. We hvnt talked for long, the rest part of my classmates came and occupied the office. Mr. Zhang was moved. What he kept saying was "i am touched." But it seemed Mr. Zhang, a kind of person who never say sth. serious, wont be a person who is easily to be moved. Maybe nobody understood Mr. Zhang actually wasnt peaceful in his heart. He was moved just like his words, but words from his mouth will devoloped dramatically. i used not to like him. For i think he was so rude and noisy, but in his office, he said anythin softly and frawn to describe the students' not liking study. i think he is a good teacher, though he said never be a teacher and it is the worst job.
    The next stop was Senior 2 teachers' office. We saw Ms. Zhu Haiqiong and Ms. Hu Mingzhi, so we went into. We chatted for long. Ms. Lee Qunhua came bake taking her daughter. These teachers r still remember our stories of our school days. Ms. Hu even kept the poem wirtten by the boys. It was near lunch time, so Ms. Lee ordered us to hv lunch in the school canteen.
    When entering the school canteen, i looked around. i found Mr. Ye Ming, Mr. Liu Jun, Mr. Shen Hongqi, Ms. Lee Renhua... i was so happy to see Ye Ming, i broke away from my classmates and waved to him like meeting a family members after long seperation (in fact, we r seperated for long time...). i nearly rushed to his desk and began to talk with him. Aha, i found Mr. Liu Jun's smiling with his dimples. Suddenly i realise they r all teaching Senior 1 now. They must be in the same office, they will hv more time together. They two gave me a kind of feeling like "Mengla + Jiovanni", two boyish man together, but they r the pair who can appreciate each other.
    Then we began to greet our teachers one by one, and then began to hv our nice lunch (many food!). Ahaha, Mr. Zhang Youwu came to the canteen, and he apologised for not inviting us... So he sat with the 3 boys, and we 4 girls, we conposed 2 tables...
    O~My GOD! i found Geng Changwu unexpectly. Raye stood up to greet him, and i pretended not seeing him. And Mr. Zhang asked me to greet with Geng but i still pretended. i hate him. But i was surprise to know that the hate can last for so long time.
    After our lunch, we went to see Ms. Zhu Xiaowei, we talked for long. She was the teacher who will still criticise me for leading me to success. She was a quite good teacher! She gave me many many important lessons not only mathematics.
    The last charpter of today's story was visit Ms.Jin Min. Now there was only 3 left. Raye, San and i...
    Ms. Jin Min was still energetic and optimistic. She entertained us with coffee and peanuts. And we didnt go home until nearly 5PM. At last, Raye went to Wujiaochang, and Ms. Jin, San and i went home by Bus NO. 576...
    Today was very happy day... can i go back to my senior high school to study and to be an ordinary student?

    the Lantern Festival's Service

    Yesterday is Chinese Lantern Festival, and it is a special day in Chinese history. According to some old stories, one cannot hv a complete happy new year only if  one enjoys the Lantern Festivall to heart's content. So how can i hv a complete happy new during this not so good winter holiday?
     
    i went to the HSC's site in Chengdu RD. West to hv my first service in Dog's year.
    Today i met Qingqing and Wang Yun there.
    Qingqing is a young lady who has a lovely daughter, and her topic is all abt her daughter. She works in Jicheng Pharmacy and told us a lot.
    WangYun is the oldest person in Group 10! He donated his 137ml HSC to a little boy who has leukemia in Shanghai Children's Medical Center. He will retire in maybe 4 or 5 years. He is just an ordinary worker in Haiyan physical distribution.
     
    Everytime i can met some touched stories. Today i met 2 friends, the first one was joined the club long ago and now came to change the card. His friend was moved by his action and touched by our words, and he also be a donor! Aha, great friendship...

    Am i an exacting person? Maybe tall order?

    i am just the type who want to do thins best.
    Ms. Jinmin gave me the most important education in my senior high school. She said "since u hv done it, so why not doing it better?"
    So after i hv a goal, i will try my best effort to do it. Maybe a lot of people cannot understand. Why doing everthin too seriously? Even some will think we can live our life casually. But this will never be my attitude to life!
    Hv high requirement is wrong? Am i an exacting person? Maybe i am tall order?
    When doing the project, i hv much spirit. But the partnership isnt good. i tried hard to find imformation, but they dont scan it. They dont hv the same enthusiasm as me. i cannot count for them too much. Am i always finding fault?
     
    i am just the type who like the porson who is always neglected by others.
    • Ou Chuliang: Maybe my first idol.  He used to be the goalkeeper of our national football team. But the clear deficiency of the Sports Committee's governer made his sports life fade.
    • Racha: My second idol.  He's Shanghai Shenhua's foreign aid during 1999-2001 season. He catches the the strong wimd of Yugoslavia in Chinese football field. He is modest, polite and never gain any card yellow or red in 1999-2000, even in 2000-2001 yellow card only. Maybe he is too small part of the team. His position is not the one who can always shoot, nearly nobody knows him when i mentioning the origin of my nickname Racha.
    • Ralf Schumacher: My third  idol.  Refer to his elder brother, almost everone knows. Ya, u r clever! Michael Schumacher, 7 world championship winner. But do u realise Ralf  who lives under his brother's dazzling crown? Do u see the sacrifice Ralf hv on and under the circuit since he is a little boy? Do u like u r always compared by one of u brother or sister or cousin?
    • Huang Mengla: My forth idol. i began to like him in 2002 after he won the Paganini Prize. At that time, he isnt known to all. Even now not many people knows him. He hv high self-cultivation. He is good at Chinese, Physics besides Music. He can tell the truth befor the media.
    • Lun Xun: My sixth idol. i dont like him in my high school, 'cos we hv to recite the text written by him. But now after i grow up, i began to understand the deep meaning of thesa masterpeices. He is clear-vision to see the  scoundrelism of Chinese people. i begin more and more hate the scoundrelism. But they like root of people's thought.
    i am just the type who like 'too high to be popular' things.
    i like classical music. It is not easy to meet my desire of it. And it is even hard to share my feeling with others. It is a tough course for me to find one favorite CD in my city.
    i want to do things for Shanghai HSC donor club vonlunteerly. But most of others... i dont want to comment. 'cos the notion of them is difficult to change quickly.
    i like keep my dairy in English. i dont care whether others like it or not.
     
    i am just the type who like smile before familiar people.
    i like smile before others. i remember once when i felt so tired and headache from KFC, but i suddenly met my classmates in the campus. i began to laugh before them, and try to keep my sprit side to others. When i felt sad, i wont easily release before i nearly go to pieces.
    My junior high school classmate Su Ying used to said 'Only the saddest will be happy before the slightest happiness.' i agree.
    i mayl cry when watching TV or a book when hving resonance of the work.
    Saying abt movie, i dont like watch DVD or VCD. i like watch it in the black cinema. i sit among a lotta strangers. i can cry or sniff freely. i wont easily cry before the familiar.
    i am not easy to move or touch. U can say me cold-blood.
     
    Anyway, live my life.

    This is abt Hitler's last 12 days. In 12 days, Berlin will fall.
    Hitler is trapped underground with other officials of the Third Reich and their families. He directs armies that no longer exist. His secretary Traudl Junge witnesses the rapidly changing moods of him.
    Outside, bombs r falling, the Russians are approaching. There is nothing left to lead, other than a few kids and old men hastily given weapons and uniforms. 
    When Hitler finally realizes it's a losing battle, he expresses the hope that the city be destroyed before the Russians take over.
    He even gives his officials a poison and lets them vow to suicide when German surrenders to Russian. He would die than surrender, so he wont let his officials  and civilians to fight with Russian. This is his idea!
    Maybe it is a sort of unyielding character. But he is the leader of the Third Reich. As a leader, he neglects his civilians, so he is accused as cold-blood.
    We can hardly say whether he is right. In the end, when he realise the battle's result, he let some of his workers to leave Berlin. But he said,'he wont leave Berlin.' Berlin is his 4ever hope and 4ever dream. i remember at the beginning of the film Hitler is very happy to see a huge white model made by one of his official. He is so proud of being Teuton.
    Compared with him, another side r also right in my eye. The representive is Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck. He is also brave, and when other doctors leave for an asylum he still works in Berlin. But he dont think the civilian need to do the meanless sacrifice. After Hitler's death, why many people will chase him for death not the survive!
    Secretary Traudl at first says she will die with Hitler for she still has hope for German will win, but in the end, she found the reality. She has strong will for survial. So she survived until 2002.
