2013年的希望

那日,我独自走在海边,海水翻滚着拍打着岸边,卷起了那我已不熟悉的白色浪花。就这样,我漫无目的地走着……忽的,一个瓶子打断了我的思绪,它无助地拍打着早些时候被推上岸的水草,走近些去,才发现这瓶子似乎有些与众不同,瓶中竟载着一封信?我有幸拾得一个漂流瓶,惊喜之余,瓶中的信着实震住了我。因为那是一封来自2013年的信。信是这样的:

收到这封信的人:

你好!

不知道看到这封信的你会是怎样的表情,不可思议还是不知所措?也许只有经历过那场灾难的我们才会知晓光阴的重要性吧。现在的地球早已面目全非,巍峨的喜马拉雅山不见了,漫无尽头的是无边的阴雨,乃至黑夜白昼都会有所改变。一个陌生的世界,无际的恐慌与黑暗,而这些,你们真的体会不到,真的……

现在我们正在驶向非洲的好望角,但不知道此刻的非洲是否还是你和我曾经熟悉的非洲,但至少令人欣慰的是,好望角正如其名,充满希望,最后一丝希望,我们最终的底线。其次,我是为数不多的能登上这艘希望之船的中国工人,回想起白雪皑皑的珠峰,回想起滋养人民的红河谷,往事如烟,就这样随它去了吧!慨叹之余,也为自己的第二次生命而暗喜。

想起那淡淡的酥油茶,村子里孩子们迷人的笑容,我不禁落泪。依旧是回忆,我奔跑在绿草茵茵的牧场,用手指间去触碰世间万物……那些销蚀的灵魂,拖动着最后的希望,沉向那无底的大海。这一切没有缘由,因为这一切,称之为“灾难”。

我们的希望并不是空想,我们的希望是信仰,也是底线。缺失希望又何以为人?“希望”教会了我们不寻常的意志,“希望”让我们继续存活下去,想必,我们此时的希望便是“用勇气支撑下去”。我们每个人都是斗士,与自然抗争,曾为人权而战,我们感谢别人给予我们重生的机会,但我们始终不会放弃生的意志,因为我们拥有希望。

不知道读到这里的你作何感想,无奈还是莫名的感伤?不知你身处怎样境况,不知你是否领略过那沁人心脾的自然的美,因为那才是地球真正留给我们的。至少,现在的我们只有回忆,而你们仍然拥有希望。

希望留

2013.11

读完,心中真的不知是怎样的滋味。远眺落日余晖,水光荡漾,斑斑驳驳的波纹浮在水面。嘴角微提,淡然一笑,将载着信的瓶子掷回大海。

你们的希望,我们会有的……

中国小学教育

对于很多中国父母来说,孩子就是他们的全部。因此,自孩子出生之日起,甚至有的父母在怀孕期间就为孩子规划好整个人生。包括孩子小时候该上什么幼儿园,小学时该送去培养什么兴趣爱好,初中要参加什么竞赛才可以进去好的高中,高中要在重点高中上,大学选什么专业,读完大学还要不要继续读研等等。因此,学区房一直倍受中国家长青睐。据新闻报道,北京海淀区的学区房,最高可达10万元一平米。有的父母,孩子还没有出生,却已经将孩子的学区房买好。总之,貌似一切都是为了孩子。

以中国的小学教育为例,一个中国小学生的典型一天时光如下(以笔者小学2年级侄女为例):7点起床洗漱吃饭,8点在爷爷奶奶或者爸爸妈妈护送下去学校,9点-12点,学校上课时间。12-2点午饭及休息时间,2点至5点学校上课时间。5点-7点作业时间。7点-9点看电视或其他娱乐时间。9点以后睡觉时间。小学生很少有时间去参加户外活动去感知自然,了解自然,和了解社会。对于一个中国小学生来说,他们很容易就背熟9*9乘法表,但是他们从来没有机会去将其运用于实际生活之中。因为大多数中国父母会告诉自己的孩子,你只需要把学习提上去就好,而对于小孩子的生存能力,独立能力不做任何要求,这就导致了很多“高分低能”的学生。

对于中国的小学生来说,他们的课业压力比其他国家小学生大很多。因为优秀教育资源的有限性。很多中国小学生为了能上好的初中,那么小学生必须有十分优秀的课业成绩。因此,我可以常常看到许多小学生在放学之后还背上重重的书本回家完成各种家庭作业。这种教育资源不均衡,“僧多粥少”的现象导致教育竞争加剧。另一方面,教育选拔制度也有一定的问题。现在中国教育的选拔仅仅参照其学业方面的表现,而忽略了很多其他更加重要的方面,例如课外的公益活动,学生的创新能力等。

International students face job hunting hurdles in Japan

International students face job hunting hurdles in Japan
Foreign students in Japan are rapidly embraced by the central government at least apparently.
Japan Revitalization Strategy 2014 of the government, the Cabinet Office mentioned it’s determined to engage highly experience foreign students to enhance the international competitiveness of Japan and to regenerate the economy.
The survey conducted by a labor bureau in 2013 discovered fifty percent of one thousand seven hundred seventy five little and average size companies in Japan that answered are positive in employing foreign students, expecting some laborers can enhance their world development.
Foreign students normally have a hard time writing an “entry sheet”- the comprehensive resume that many Japanese companies demand that new graduates fill in skilled Japanese to clearly show why they deserve being asked to an interrogation.
Although if international students proceed to the next level, they struggle with the recruitment aptitude exam, that are meant for indigenous people speakers in Japan to present their fundamental educational skills which include the language examination that needs excellent vocabulary.
The survey says in the interrogation of spokespersons in small companies discovered that many have neither a certain professional path that connects foreign students’ requests nor a support system like laborers’ extensive profession development in-house.
Although if an international student is employed, the struggle shows in the corporate culture in Japan.

Dinosaurs and their descendants

Dinosaurs are ancient creatures, which lived on the earth millions of years ago. What is left of them now are bones which have been hardened over the years called fossils. Fossils are remains of living components, which have mixed with mud and soil. After a period of 6 million years the first humans appeared on earth. Over the years’ technology improved, and life became more and more complicated until today.

It is said that the only living descendants of these magnificent creatures are modern birds. Rumour is that dinosaurs evolved into birds. The first living bird-like creatures were called Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx had feathers but couldn’t fly. Instead they resolved to gliding from branches. For example, a dinosaur slowly grew feathers over a period of time. With these feathers they were able to leap from tree to tree. Slowly, these feathers evolved into wings and enabled the dinosaur to glide from one place to another. Over a period of time, these wings became better and the muscles became stronger, and they finally became the first birds. It is good if birds are studied carefully, and if they are, there is a chance that we may find out more about dinosaur bones. With the dinosaurs, there were also aquatic animals.

Today’s sea creatures, such as sharks, whales and fish, are descendants of these ancient aquatic creatures. The people who excavate and study about dinosaurs are called paleontologists. When we reach a higher level of technology, we might be able to extract DNA from fossils and recreate genetically engineered dinosaurs. If we can do this, we can even reverse the extinction of these great creatures.

中国游客大量采购日本商品

由于日元贬值,和免税商品范围扩大的利好政策,中国游客赴日旅游人数大增。

对于很多中国游客来说,旅游的主要目的还在于购物。因此,中国游客在日本旅游期间,大量采购各种生活用品,包括电饭锅,护肤品,衣物等。在网上,还流传着”去日本买只马桶盖”的说法。据新闻报道,售价1万多人民币的电饭煲每天能卖出10几台,买主80%是来自中国。除此之外,一款温水洗净马桶座在遭中国人疯抢。日本免税店的店员称无论是什么牌子的马桶座都被中国游客抢购一空,商品都出现供不应求的局面。

对此现象,很多游客都解释说:日本这边的质量好一些,价格也合适,在这买还是合适的。(国内)也有卖的,但感觉还是在日本当地买质量会要好一些。

然而,事实却是,这些在日本销售的马桶盖的原产地都是中国。有趣的是中国人会跑到日本去买在中国制造的商品。在这背后,反映出国人对民族品牌的不信任,对“中国制造”的不信任。一方面,我们批评日本,批评西方国家的资本主义等等,但是,另一方面,中国人却以购买到外国商品为荣,以成功移民外国为身份的象征。这种滑稽现象的背后反映出国人的不自信。

近几年来,我国经济飞速发展,中国GDP已超越日本,成为全球第二大经济体。即便如此,中国的的确还面临这自主创新能力差,缺乏国际品牌,缺乏技术人才的许多困境。因此,只有真正提高这些能力,大力发展名族品牌,中国才能成为真正意义上的大国。

中国社会人口老龄化

2014年年末我国60周岁及以上人口数为21242万人,占总人口比重为15.5%;65周岁及以上人口数为13755万人,占比10.1%,首次突破10%。数据显示并意味着,我国已处于老龄化社会。我认为产生老龄化社会的原因,第一不可否认的必然原因是医疗技术的发展和进步,公共卫生水平的提高,导致人均寿命延长,其次,由于社会生活压力加大,人们的生活节奏加快,培养一个孩子的费用提高,造成生育率不断下降,出现类似于丁克族的现象,另外计划生育等政府限制生育的政策也有一定影响。但是这些都是人们生活水平和保健水平提高的必然结果,是民富国强的标志,是实现可持续发展的必然要求。因此我们要做的不是去防止产生老龄化,更多的应该是解决想办法解决由于老龄化带来的一些问题,如:

1.社会负担加重

2.社会文化福利事业的发展与人口老龄化不适应

3.家庭养老功能减弱

4.老年人对医疗保健、生活服务的需求突出。

如何更好更快的解决这些问题才是当务之急

My Role as a citizen of Earth

Being the citizen of earth there are several responsibilities. My role as a citizen of earth is to protect and save the earth which is most important and necessary responsibility. God has created the earth for human comfort. Humans have to develop friendly relationship with nature and not enmity. If we do not save the earth human life would be over. We should be concerned about the health of our planet and be humble to save the earth. We should save the earth because it’s home for innumerable living organisms.

 

Measures to protect our mother planet earth

 

  1. Avoid pollution:

It’s better to live in a clean healthy environment than a polluted one. Living organisms needs Atmosphere to survive. A gas like oxygen in atmosphere is required for the survival of living beings. Carbon dioxide is also needed to keep the plants alive. Pollution affects the life on the Earth. I will become an air pollution activist by joining local groups that work to avoid air pollution and find a way to get involved in my role.

 

  1. Afforestation:

Plant trees that help to clean the air. Develop forests which will provide habitat for many animals. Plants are also economically very useful. The wood from the trees are used in manufacturing furniture. There are some medicinal plants that are used in Ayurvedic products. Aim to plant trees which will grow taller and provide shade.

 

  1. Maintaining soil fertility:

Protecting the health of the soil by using cloth bags instead of plastic because it takes hundreds of years to decompose; as they decompose some toxins are released into the soil which reduces soil fertility. Use products which are renewable and reusable. Do not use chemical fertilizers it also hinders soil fertility instead use organic manures or bio fertilizers.

 

  1. Work to stop mining:

Blasting operations are planned for mine plan, due to this land becomes unhealthy and landscapes will be destroyed. It also affects the habitat of flora and fauna. Stop mining by being politically active to stop mining in restricted areas of earth.

 

  1. Resource depletion:

Social, economic and scientific developments of country are linked to energy sources. The conventional sources energy being used for long time are generally non-renewable. They include coal, petroleum, natural gas and electricity. We are using them so extensively that their reserves are depleting at a fast rate. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to discover new deposits. So they should be used in a controlled way.

 

Another problem which I see is poverty. It indicates a condition in which a person fails to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. As a citizen of earth it is our responsibility to contribute our share to ensure all possible ways to overcome poverty. I would try my level best to reduce poverty in my country. If we really want to throw poverty away, we should stop speaking about it and take some measures.

 

Measures to reduce poverty:

 

  1. Donations to poor people:

Donations are the best way to overcome poverty in small scale. I would open my own NGO to help poor people like providing food, clothes, education etc. By paying taxes which helps in the development of nations. Donating to trusted organisations so that it can be used in a useful manner. Live a simple life so that others can also lead a simple life.

 

  1. Educating young people:

Education is the most effective way to reduce poverty. Education strengthens the abilities of individuals and makes them skilled to work and gain income to satisfy his wants.

 

  1. Increase employment opportunities:

Unemployment is a situation in which a person is ready to work physically or mentally at a given wage rate but not getting employment opportunities. Hence increase in employment ensures a comfortable life.

 

  1. Learn about money management:

Savings is a better way for betterment in life of an individual. I would try to save my income by spending money wisely and leading a simple life. I would consult a financial institution to create savings plan.

If all these measures are implemented by all the nations of the world then poverty can be reduced from the whole world.

中国反腐

自习主席当选中国新主席之后,在习主席的领导下,政府出台了一系列政策法规和管理措施。其中,最令百姓拍手叫好的就是中国政府加大反腐力度。不少重量级的高管纷纷落马。6月11日,天津市第一中级人民法院依法对原铁道部部长周永康受贿、滥用职权、故意泄露国家秘密案进行了一审宣判,认定周永康犯受贿罪,判处无期徒刑,剥夺政治权利终身。除此之外,曾任十二届全国政协副主席,中央统战部部长令计划今日也因为严重违纪被双开。由此可见,本届中国政府的反腐绝不是作秀。

之前,西方媒体对中国反腐的新闻报道是十分少的,但是近段时间,随着中国“大老虎”的落马,西方媒体也开始对中国反腐这一话题进行大篇幅报道。一方面,中国在国际的影响力逐年上升。另外一方面,中国反腐对其他国家的影响也逐渐显现出来。因此,中国反腐话题不再仅仅是中国百姓口中的热议话题,更是国际热点话题。

除了抓捕在职贪污犯之外,中国政府也开展了“天网行动”,重点抓捕外逃贪污腐败分子。美国,加拿大等国均纷纷力挺中国反腐行动。据环球时报综合报道,美国移民执法部门当地时间28日证实,出逃海外的“中国第一女巨贪”杨秀珠在美国被拘押,目前正在等待遣返。

中国反腐,不仅仅是中国的社会热点问题,更是国际热点话题。在这背后,是中国的崛起。

边界

中南财经政法大学金融学院大二  廖益聃
“爱慕与渴望是人类闪光的情感,可一旦漠视道德‘禁止通行’的标语,头也不回地冲进贪婪的荒地,便只该任由沼泽与烂泥啃尽你的灵魂……”我合上这本《边界》,伸直了手臂舒展已枯坐一下午的身体,又拍了拍卧在身边的大黄——一只我一年前收养的流浪狗,准备起身回家。
这处公园离家不远,树和草都长得很好。得空的下午我便喜欢带着大黄来这儿,在长椅上静静地阅读,我读书,大黄读我,直到暖融融的夕阳将我们包裹个遍,才会伴着晚风归家。
到家了。
门口有一个包裹,大黄兴奋地冲上去围着它嗅,又对我使劲摇尾巴。我不记得最近有买过什么东西,拿起那包裹来看,收件人处清清楚楚写着我的名字与住址,寄件人处却是空白。
我止不住好奇心将它搬进了屋。
这个看起来普普通通的快递正稳稳放在我面前的桌上。这是什么呢?我找来剪刀,开始小心翼翼地拆它,有一点好奇,一点兴奋,一点紧张,像第一次收到匿名的情书一样。
我慢慢为它褪下包装,竟然,只是一张手帕?一张纯黑色的方巾。我失望了,可大黄并没有,它将方巾顶在头上,愉快地玩起来。自己疯了一会不够尽兴,又来咬我的鞋子扯我的裤脚,我陷入好奇与失望中,没有心思和它嬉闹:“此时你要是一只安静的猫咪多好。”
“喵——”我低头一看,哪还有大黄,我脚边正卧着一只小黄猫,眼睛里写满了不解与害怕,而头上顶着那一块小黑巾。
天呐!这超乎我认知范围的变化让我不可抑制地惊呼起来,一只狗在我眼皮底下变成了猫?我赶紧拿起那条方巾,仔细又仔细地端详着,然后用它盖住桌上的空杯:“我想要一杯冰橙汁。”缓慢地将方巾揭下,杯子里果然装满了橙汁,杯壁上还凝着新鲜的小水珠。
简直就是个宝贝!我将它盖在缺了一角的桌子上,烧坏的灯泡上,空空的饭碗上……这一星期,我没有再出门,这条方巾被我尝试了无数遍,我发现它虽然神奇,但也只能帮我做一些小事,再稍微厉害一点的变化,它便无能为力了,不过这样也够了,至少能帮我节约一点时间多读几本书。
我不用再帮大黄准备食物,也不用再帮它洗澡,所有的琐事用方巾一盖便好了。这样的偷懒使我感到满足,直到一个月后我接到了一个电话。
下午三点,我匆匆赶到了小区里的这家咖啡馆,稍作寻视便径直坐到了一位穿风衣的中年妇女面前。“你在电话里说的关于黑方巾的事,到底是什么?”我一坐下来便开门见山地问道。她珍重地从包里拿出一个小盒子,里面整齐地也叠了一条方巾,她拿出方巾抖散,交给我看。
这条方巾和我的一模一样,只不过比我的大,足足大了两倍。
“看出来了吗,这种方巾是可以融合变大的,就像大鱼吃小鱼一个道理。方巾越大,能力越强。你开个价吧。”她面无表情地说道。
我细细审视她,又看了看我的方巾:“你这条,现在能做什么呢?”
“变出现金。”
我略一思考,“两万块吧。”
她不敢相信我的开价这么低,却又怕我反悔,连忙拿出支票写好塞进我手里,准备带着方巾走人。“别急呀大姐,相见就是缘分,喝完这杯咖啡再走吧。”
…走出咖啡店时,我的盒子里装了一块来时三倍大的方巾,身后店内杂乱的“中毒了!死人了!”的呼喊我听不见,我只知道,此刻我包里的这块方巾有多么珍贵。
一年过去了,我早已从小公寓搬进了大别墅,我的小方巾也早就变成了大幕布。幕布后冤魂的厉啸我不在乎,我有这块布,没有人可以比我厉害。
又有一个人给我打电话了。一年来,想吃掉我这块黑布的人不少,可哪一次他们不是被我连皮带骨头啃得渣都不剩?
出门的时候,大黄惊慌地围着我叫个不停,我一脚将它踢到角落:“滚开,烦人的东西。”出门时背后伤心的眼神我看不见,我只知道,我的黑布又要变大了。
这次约我的人是个老太太,地点在她家。我一进门她便给我端上热茶,我礼貌地接过,一口都不沾。
她也不介意,颤巍巍坐在我的对面:“小姑娘,你的黑布能给我看看吗?”
我拖出身后的旅行箱,展开给她看:“老太太,公平起见,您的布也该拿出来给我看看吧。”
她一面应承着一面起身:“好,好。我的布在房间里,你坐这儿等我一下,这就去拿。”
看着她离开的背影我笑得开怀,这次回去先变出什么东西好呢,要不要干脆变出一座皇宫,再变出一些奴隶来?
突然间客厅的灯暗了,有什么熟悉的东西在向我靠近,我抬头向着压迫感的来源望去,是的,是黑布!这个老太太的黑布竟然直接铺在了天花板上!她想将布和我一起吃掉!
我的布没有她的大,我逃不掉了。
失去意识的前一秒,我仿佛看到公园里那个没什么钱的穷学生,手捧一本书,身边卧着她的大黄。
大黄!我大叫一声,一睁眼手里仍捧着那本《边界》,扉页上写着:道德不会绑架束缚你,只会给你一个不可跨越的边界。身边的大黄轻轻摇着尾巴,而我的手却早已濡湿了一片。
这是我的梦吗,又或者不是呢。

尤利乌斯•凯撒 威廉•莎士比亚

《尤利乌斯•凯撒》是威廉·莎士比亚创作的悲剧,是他最好的作品之一。这本书是根据历史事件和残酷的事实改编。

凯撒刚刚从庞贝凯旋而归。当典礼正在进行的时候,一个预言家警告凯撒:“谨防3月15日”。凯撒的朋友布鲁图和卡修斯担心凯撒成为国王。但是凯撒告诉他们他已经拒绝带上王冠。

卡修斯和西纳密谋反对凯撒并且决定去追随布鲁图去帮助他杀掉凯撒。布鲁图担心凯撒掌权会伤害自己的利益,于是他同意当密谋者到他家的时候参与密谋。

凯撒的妻子卡尔普蕊娜注意到很多不好的征兆,她试图去阻止他去卡匹托尔。他几乎同意不去卡匹托尔直到德西乌斯出现,并解释说这些征兆是好的征兆。在凯撒去卡匹托尔的路上,阿特米多鲁斯警告过他,但是他没有听进去。当他到了卡匹托尔,他被密谋者刺伤,最后一击是来自于布鲁图—凯撒自己认为的最好的朋友。凯撒在死之前哭泣:“竟然是你,布鲁图?”之后凯撒倒下。

这部戏剧的语言使用的是典型的莎士比亚式语言,这本书被翻译成很多语言。许多电影和系列节目都是根据这本书改编而来。
