Dragon we don't want 长龙之困

Standing on the top floor of Shijijingmao Building, I looked down out of the window. Outside there lay the west 3rd ring road. I was astonished by the stretch of vehichles winding along the 3rd ring road. From my perspective, it looked grand 'cos it was just like a huge dragon. But for those drivers and passengers stuck in the jam, this dragon must be very undesirable.

I like Beijing for its magnificence and tolerance. If it were not due to the terrible living conditions (traffic is most notorious), I would have loved it more. I know it well that everything is done at the expense of another thing. Since I choose to live in the metropolis, I need to afford the living cost.

Funny butts 活色生香

The other day I saw a couple of extraordinary butts.

I really don't know their most primitive motive to adorn their butt in that way. Actually I'd planned to shoot another butt with a galloping jaguar right on. But the girl ran too fast to catch a picture of her unchained butt, especially when I held a camera phone and pretended to send SMS.
For me, these butts mean anything but attraction. I just think it's funny.

A legend moment 胡思乱想

I should have written sth while I had a certain mood. The other day I had an impulse to write a few lines on the artificial river on my way home. The idea arose from the mist covering the river. From a distance, it seemed just like a fairyland which reminded me of the miraculous scenery described in Journey to the West. I guess I must have taken a childish smile on my face right when I thought of Jade Pool, Jade Emperor, Monkey King, etc. As I walked across the bridge over the river with mist rising from the below, I suddenly felt I was the Cowherd waiting for a whole year to meet the Girl Weaver. I couldn’t move. Once again, all of a sudden, I realized this imagination was ridiculous for a guy of my age. I wasn’t the Cowherd and no Girl Weaver was going to meet me. I just went back to my rent house, a place of no fairies but two cute pals.

A hello on the Qingming Festival 清明节的问候

The Qingming Festival is really a good innovation of ancient Chinese people. It provides the living an approach or opportunity to commemorate the dead. It's reported that a member of NPC once proposed incorporating holidays on lunar New Year's Eve, the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival into law for the sake of promoting traditional Chinese festivals. That sounds great and I can't agree more.

It doesn't rain today. I don't feel much melancholy either. But when I came back deep into night overwhelmed by chilly breeze, I have a strong desire to say hello to the Qingming Festival. Can you hear me? Soon I have to say farewell to you. 'Cos it's April 6th ten minutes later.

Good night.
