North Korea nuclear test
North Korea |
I don't know whether countries like Iraq and Iran are axis of evil or not, but as a Chinese who konws more about asian politics, I know North Korea is.
Its dictatorship isn't a threat before as the people who suffer from that are most likely to be North Korean, and sadly rest of world can, and did live with it.
But things are now different, a dictatorship with nuclear weapon is nothing more than very very dangerous. In the last few years, the North Korea dictatorship actually kidnapped surrounding countries particularly China as hostages to fulfil its greedy needs, from food aid to endless economic supports that keeps the country running.
This news is not the saddest to me yet. The saddest thing I have seen is that most Chinese netizens are showing their happiness and 'respect' to a country that is dare to confront U.S.
Those nationalists have long history theory that puts N. Korea as a barrier between China and a possible enemy (most time this enemy is Japan, or America), therefore they "have to" "keep" North Korea "red".
Apart from keep hating Japan and America, those people cannot see that China has the greatest number of surrounding countries that have nuclear weapons: Russia, Pakistan, India and now adding North Korea, and most of those countries have a history of occupy Chinese land (Russia), or a current occupation (India, south Tibet), and now adding a new one that always kidnap Chinese as hostages to threat other countries.
But sadly, the government is just keep fuelling the hate to America and people don't see how dangerous this neighbouring country is. If a war broke out in North Korea and a nuclear weapon is used, the whole northeastern China is possible to under the nuclear radiation.
If that is not enough, what will happen if there is a war broke out between N Korea and China? This is possible if you didn't forget about similar things happened from Vietnam.
Monday
First day of term 4, and the following were what I saw...
1. There were at least two police cars present this morning, and this number increased to at least four at 4pm. What they are doing there is unknown but I'm quite sure the two in the morning haven't move a metre during the day.
Seems that our school just can't get away with the police.
2. The New Zealand Herald has reported that our school's (at least our school principal's) proudest "former" student, Keisha Castle-Hughes, the Oscar nominee, is in pregnancy, and the "father" is a 19 year old, also former penrose boy.
If our principal is going talk about this as a general news in the assembly tomorrow? He did once when Steve Irwin died and he used a fake quotation to encourage us to study hard.
3. Some news you may going to hear in the following days:
a. School's mufti day is to be held later this month (16th?), but you have to pay a dollar contributing to Starship Foundation.
b. Pupils will have four days off for the Labour weekend, the extra day is for teachers only day. (most school will do the same?)
c. The usually boring ceremony for senior prize giving will be held in the daytime this year, the date is November the 14th.
4. Our lockers are very unlikely to appear again this year.
一篇作文是怎样炼成的
许久不再接触中国的教育。
当我还在中国时，我就对自己所接受的教育有很多意见，而最大的一个则是这些老师都在教导我们如何虚情假意。从小时侯“为共产主义奋斗终生”开始，我们就被诱导，或逼迫说那些我们不知道含义，或者根本就不想说的话，做那些不想做的事。
我说这个原因是昨天我又收到了一位在国内的朋友的任务：帮她写作文，还好，就1000字而已。以前初中时星期一清晨花半小时完成的作文都可以被老师弄出来表扬一翻（虽然标题因为太匆忙写了两个别字），虽不能说是天分，但至少可以说是得心应手的。 Read more
江湖（转）
作者：川上
星空下, 谷堆旁
烟火人间五谷香
老人传说江湖事
儿童烂漫数星光
灯花亮, 开满堂
万千叮咛整行装
天地无边江湖远
浩浩荡荡闯一闯
带一点梦想暖心房
带一点豪迈过大江
带一点真挚听风雨
带一点沧桑看斜阳
江湖水, 滔滔浪
前程回首两茫茫
浮沉半生追日月
凌波一笑对炎凉
同舟人, 也一样
随波逐流赶他乡
山水相逢有缘在
江湖爱恨梦一场
