Summary of Short Course

Today, our short course came to an ending, which made me exhaustion. However, I gained alot!

Firstly, I began to change my idea to suit local teaching mode gradually, and I found I was alittle short-sighted.

Secondly, I found that discuss is very useful to grasp professional knowledge. When I discussed on some point with other people, I could compar the feature between ours, share our iedas, make things smoothly. Once sb did not get ready for the discuss, he will feel discomfortable.

Thirdly, when you prepare your presentation, you should try your best to do it or you don't prepare it.

Painted Skin

Did you ever see the Painted Skin? The scenario of this film is moving, may be not, it depends. There was a hot debate about its meaning, which seemed to give a status to the concubine in these days.

As for me, it was really a love story with tears, although it has changed great from th original novel LiaoZhai. The white fox, Xiao wei,cultivate herself according to a religious of goddess until she met Wang Sheng. All of her life was changed for WangSheng threw a small stone to the lake of her heart. She did not know how to love and Why love at first, and she was blind when she loved Wang, so as she did trap once again to circumvention Wang's wife, which she could replace the position of the former wife. But she did wrong at all. When the film came to its ending, Xiaowei saw her deep lover dead and he said, Xiaowei would not understand the meaning of true love, Xiaowei awoke to herself and gave up her thousand years witchcraft to rescue Wangsheng. She did understand the meaning of true love, which is a kind of dedication freely between people.

Hua xin, the song of Painted Skin, which was sanged by Zhang Liangying, is a swan song of Xiaowei. When I listen to it, I feel deep sad from my heart.

看不穿是你失落的魂魄/猜不透是你瞳孔的颜色/一阵风/一场梦/爱如生命般莫测/你的心到底被什么蛊惑/你的轮廓在黑夜之中淹没/看桃花开出怎样的结果/看着你/抱着我/目光似月色寂寞/就让你在别人怀里快乐/爱着你像心跳难触摸/画着你画不出你的骨骼/记着你的脸色/是我等你的执着/你是我一首唱不完的歌

Home Sick




It is deep in the night now, I do not feel a little drowsiness. Why I get insomnia? There must be home sick. Since I came here, it has been over 3 weeks! I miss my mum, dad, my lover, my little brother! In chinese acient poem, Wangwei who lived in Tang Dynasty said, a lone man who lived in overseas is a guest, he will miss family on the festival.(独在异乡为异客,每逢佳节倍思亲)

Today is my father's birthday, I, as his eldest son, can not stay with him. It is really a pity!
Could the bright moon take my heart to my father?

My dear lover, I know that you would not like to envy my love to my family, I miss you too, although I call you everyday. Could the light wind take my eyes, my ears and my mouth to my lover? I will say love to her, stay with her until we all get old.

The moon light shines me as if holy water from heaven, I sit on the step and look up the Altair and the Vega.
天街月色凉如水,坐看牵牛织女星。

Summary of the Training Course

The Training Course will be finished this weekend, and I write this diary with full of thankful mention. Thanks a lot for Garry's, Audrey's and Mark's help! I really learned a lot from all of you.
I attended lectures in Mark's class. Mark is a humorous gentleman, and he often made us laugh a lot with unexpected scene! in this course, I found that I have been built up the confidence to speak in English, what is more, the journey to the Imperial War Museum Duxford and London made me open my eyes!

At first week, I worried about my pronunciation and hearing, and I was afraid about communicating with people on campus. For this reason, the teachers asked us to "break ice",that is, from the questionnaire and going shopping to build up our confidence.

In the second week, we made visited the Imperial War Museum Duxford and made a presentation and I really enjoyed it!

This week, we visited London and I had an interesting journey in the British Museum. After the visit, I wrote a blog to release my motion to the museum, which caused a hot debate in my class!

Above all, I appreciated them and I make a grateful acknowledgement for Garry, Audrey and Mark!

Tour of london

Today, our classmates went to London by coach, and I visited the British Museum. I companied with our friends looked over the St. Magarats' Church, and saw the Parliament and the most famous Big ben.

I walked along river, passed the bridge, saw the london eye, then I went to the china town. When I saw the foreign citizens of Chinese origin, saddness in my heart, they are not chinese forever, and their faces are not chinese, too. I am confused why this street called Tang Ren Jie, and they have been obviously different from Chinese.

I went through the Trafalgar Square, and finally I came to the British Museum. To my astonished, I saw many statues and collections from every corne of the world in the museum. I saw many mummies in the Egypt gallery.The chinese collections are shown at Room 33.

Plenty of items which were robbed from Africa and China are shown to the visitors! I think that they must be returned to the original owner and appologize to the victim!

Feed back on The Critical Thinking

Yesterday, Mark gave us a lecture of Critical Thinking. The lecture was very vivid and it gave me a lot of thinking and elicitation.

Why do we thinking?
“Some people study all their life and at their death they have learned everything except to THINK”
– Francois Domergue
critical thinking include
•Analyzing
• Evaluating
• Reasoning

I think that anyone should think carefully about anything around him/her. As a technical engineer indeed need think carefully about the problem of project.
Analyzing, evlauating and resoning is so important to recognize a problem. If we ask why, we will find new thing. If we analyze it, we will grasp thing. If we evaluate it, we will receive a kind of knowlege.

After showing ppt, Mark asked us to make a discussion about the scene which he supplyed.
That was a kind of condition that 15 persons were working on the space station when a satellite crashed into the earth, then the earthe were collapsed and all the humanbeing extincted, while the food and water were not enough to support all the 15 persons returning to the earth, and only 6 perons could do it and repopulating. So, what is your group choice?

Our group, Leo, Mr Guo, Mr Yu and I, thought a lot and discussed it, then we drew a conclusion that three men and three women suitable for survive and bearing responsibility for repopulating.
They were Caroline, Natasha, Addrienne, Rahim, Jorge and Dimitri.
Then after we spoke to the classmates, we made a hot debate!

It was very interesting that our focus on the choice of 6 person and love and responsibility.
Frankly speaking, we met a point on the women, but diverged on the choice of men. Someone insisted on the health and age about men, while others thought that occupation was more important.

After all, we could not persuade others to agree with us, however, we found interest on it and we thought alot to debate the rivals and made a great deal of hypothesis. I think that we could do many suprised to Mark and ourselves!

Take photos!!

























This morning, Mr Garry asked us to take photos with people on campus and upload to wiki. Our group included four members, Ray, John, Jorma and I, walked on the campus. It is a cloudy day and a little wind, however, it does not matter. Ray took a kodak camera, which is good camera.
We walked along the lane to the Business Incubation Centre building where we took a lot of photos. Then I saw a very kindness and friendly person, so I came to him and asked if he would like to take photo with us? He was agreed with us, and he told us that he is Professor Harris which engages in Environmental studys. It is our honor to take photo with him!
We wandered the library and met a senior citizen who came from airport. He told us that he is a pilot and he has over twenty years experience on driving airplane. He invited us to the airport and stood in front of his airplane to take picture! It is really our great honor to do that for the reason that anyone without authorized go into the airport will be fined for 1,000 pounds. So I will cherish the picuture which value is 1,000 pounds, haha!

A good website

what does one pound can be used to buy in UK


I copyed from Mr tankcrane, and I wanted more and more people in China to know living in U.K.

I have been in UK for 10 days,after the initial confusion of the language,culture,and food,I have learned more through these 10-days experence.I know how to communicate with local residents ,where to buy commodity ,at the same time ,I have shared a car with my colleagues.that means I have solved the problem about clothes ,food,house and trasportation,etc.with the experences of shopping in UK,Now I want to share the information what I can buy with one pound in England,firstly I want to say that maybe the info I mentioned is not very correct .I have been to two markets called TESCO and CENTRAL,and another store called JOHN LEVIS ,a big shoppingmall,besides university campus and village.TESCO supermarket is really a big one ,you can find any daily articles there.including clothes,food,household,kitchen tool,digital products and so on.You can use one pound to buy somethings like these ,such as 5 small apples ,six small tomatoes ,a bag of bread ,one can of coca cola,a one-liter bottle of milk.Some otherthings like these shown with photoes:a cottom of colgate toothpaste also costs one pound. a blister pack rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries including 4 pieces, 800 mAh.price 1 pound
a glass cleaner trigger spray The commodities in CENTRAL basically come from Asia,especially from China.So that's my favorite shopping place.there I can buy lots of kitchen tools and food seasoning with one pounds such as :a piece of gingera kilogram of thailand rice
a bag of chinese noodles
JOHN LEVIS located in the central MK,there are numerous good quality goods sold also with a good price.It seem to be a place for rich people shopping,it didn't suit a student like me.Fortunately,beside the enormous store,there is a many-headed open market ,which sells food,vegetable,daily commodities,fruits and so on.What is more,the price and quality is also good.You can buy a pack of strawberry with only one pound
or two aubergines
or three packs of shallots
Besides these shopping place,there are also two markets in village,they are buddges and co-operative,some of the food and drink there cost about one pound.normally,price there is a little high than that in open market,but is also aceptable.all information above come from my shopping experences in TESCO,CENTRAL and open market in MK.Basically,some information maybe is not right,I just share them here with you, I dont want to be responsible for change or disimilariy of their price.

Traverse Space


Who am I? and I am who?
When I got up from nightmare, I was wandering. I am thinking that I must be lost in somewhere. The scene in dream seems like reality.
Now, how can I stay here? When can I return home? I am not alone, but I am lonely. The country which I have been working for is not my homeland, Where are my planet? This parallel space is surely like my planet, maybe not like...
On the Festival Day, I walked along the street in forbidden city, and there were few shops and restaurants opened, what I could see were several solders patrol on the avenue, and they saluted on me, a grand duke. I looked upon the sky, many fireworks which I invented for this world opened one by one. I felt more lonely and I missed my home world, what beautiful are there!
I have so many things to do that I have to make a delay on thinking return to my world, despite I am a hero and legend in this world, no..
(To be continued)
This is my thought, maybe, I look like schizophrenia, far away from reality.
