Music POP groups were very famous in western countries in the 1990s and early 21 century. During this time, lots of very good pop groups appeared, such as backstreets boys, N Sync, Blue, the spice girls and so on. However, when the time has been entring the 21 century, the western pop groups have lost their power and influence. Also during this time, the pop group music style has began one of the most famous music style in Asian.
Japanese POP groups:
SMAP is the most successful pop group in Japan even in the whole of Asian. It has set up for more than 16 years. This song is very famous and important for the japanese; some people told me that every japanese people will sing this song. The song is for the Japanese nation flower, sakura (Oriental cherry).
AKB48, a girls pop group, may be the biggest pop group in the world, because this pop group has three small groups and total 48 people. It is also very famous in Japan.
Japan is the first country in Asain where the music pop group has became popular. However, Korea may be the country which bring the music pop group going to a top position.
Korean pop group:
The Korean pop groups' MV have two feature; one is dancing; another is story.
There are so many pop groups in Korea nowadays, and there groups play lots of different type of music.
China? Chinese people like music POP groups very much, both of western groups and Japanese and Korean groups. However, there is not any very successful local pop group in China now. I do not know why. China has lots of successful individual singers, but the groups are worst than individuals. Maybe like football, Chinese people are better to do some jobs alone.

A short adademic essay about war.
War always means chaos, ruthlessly and bloodiness, and causes huge disservice for both of countries and people. Therefore, some people believe that all wars are wrong, and they need to refuses any of war even it is their own country’s war. However, other people do not agree with them, and think some wars are just and moral, so every country’s citizen should support a right war. The main purpose of this essay is to explain which kind of wars that people should refuse.
First of all, people should know what a right war is. A war can be simply divided into two kinds; one is an aggressive war; another is a defensive war. Every aggressive war is a wrong act, even the government gives its citizen many just or moral reasons, and it is still a bad thing which should do not happen. A good example is the Nazi Germany. It brought the world into the most Dark Age in human history, because the war that it started was an aggressive war, and its citizens did not refuse it. The bad influence was for both of the whole of Europe and the world, especially Germany. Therefore, for an aggressive war, people must refuse to join in, and every reason for refusing it will be just and moral. However, on the other hand, a country’s defensive war should be got enough support from its citizen. If people think a defensive war which also is a bad thing and refuse to participate because of personal moral principles, then they will lose anything which includes their justice and ethics.
All in all, before people support or refuse a war, they should understand the definition of a war. Fighting an aggressive war is just and moral, but refusing a defensive war is a way to lose the real justice and ethics.

Review: Pirates of the Caribbean 4
I have just watched the Pirates of the Caribbean 4. It's a good firm, but also has something that I quite do not undetstand.
1. In my opinion, the director of this film, who must hate Britain or he has some relationship with Spain, because he describes the British King as a fat, ugry and greedy person, but he describes the Spanish King as a handsome, brilliant and selfless person. The British King wants to own the Fountain of Youth and let pirates to help finding, but the Spanish King lets his army to destroy the Fountain of Youth because he thinks only god can living forever. This is illogical. On the one hand, I do not think the British King like this. In fact, I think that most of British kings should be better and more brilliant than other king in Europe. If they are not, or like the film's king, why they can establish a empire as "The Sun never sets on the British Empire." In China, we say "Losers are always in the wrong; history should be written by winners." All pirates of the caribbean films describe the UK so bad. I do not know the American directors' ideas; they should all come from Britain. Why do they usually use films to say the UK bad? On the other hand, I do not think a normal king who will give up a chance for living forever.
2. Captain Jack Sparrow may do not love women. Who can give me a reason why he left the so hot and beautiful heroine in a island alone? No man will do it like him.
3. Why do the Mermaid kill people? All Mermaid should be kind-hearted, and Mermaid can speak a perfect English (no singing songs?). It break my confidence very much. They live under-sea, and can learn a very good English; I study English in the UK, but my English is worse than them. Who can give me a reason?
A very cool Pirates of the Caribbean music piano solo.

The real Dalai Lama is a bad guy for China and chinese people.
Today, I had a short conversation about the Dalai Lama with a British people. After the conversation, I felt a little bit unhappy. I said that Dalai Lama is a terrorist for China and Chinese people, but the person does not agree with my idea and thought he is a quite nice religious person. At the same time, I also know that lots of western people also do not think that Dalai Lama is a terrorist.
Therefore, I want to ask a few questions to some people who think Dalai Lama is a good guy.
1. Who can tell me that what is the different between the Dalai Lama's tibetan government-in-exile and the Real IRA. In my opinion, they are quite similar. Real IRA wants to separate north Ireland from the UK and makes it independent. It's the same objective to Dalai Lama. He also wants to separate Tibet from China. The problem is that chinese people support the British government and people, and think Real IRA is a terrorism organization. However, why some British people do not think that Dalai Lama is a terrorist for China and Chinese people. Just because he is a religious person? He did lots of violence things for China that are the same as Real IRA for the UK. Don't forget how he and his followers break the 2008 olympic torch relay; Don't forget how his organization organized the 2008 tibet riot and lots of innocent people were killed by them. (some people say that this riot was organized by the chinese government. Is the chinese government crazy? Why does it want a riot in 2008? Everybody knows that 2008 was a very very important year for China. We did not have any reason to do it.It is illogical. However, there are still lots of people who believe Dalai Lama's lie and do not trust the chinese government's fact.)
2. Some chiefs of states and politicians grant an interview to Dalai Lama every year, and they always say that Dalai Lama has human rights. The act break chinese people's heart very very much. Make a joke! and ask a question! Why these people do not grant an interview to Bin Laden? Bin Laden killed the American, so he is terrorist in the world. Dalai Lama let his follower to kill the Chinese, but he is not a terrorist and is a nice religious person. It is so so so very very very illogical.
3. He is a nice religious person????? I do not think so. Do you know that he plans to change his religious tradition, and this religous tradition has more than 1000 years' history. In his religion, a new Dalai Lama must be voted when the old one die, and the electoral process must observe lost of old religious rules. Now, he has a plan to choose a new Dalai Lama when he is alive.
I am a Buddhist. In Buddhism, the real Buddhist should void all the four elements (earth, water, fire and air of which the world is made). Is he a real Buddhist? I do not know, maybe I need to learn more. BUT, the my opinion is that he hurt China and chinese people more, and the real Buddhist should not hurt everyone and everything.

My hometown: Mudanjiang City in China.
Mudanjiang is a perfecture-level city in Heilongjiang province of the China where is located in southeastern the province. The administrative set of the prefecure resides in Mudanjiang City. Its importance derives from its status as a border city, bordering Russia, and is located only 248 km from Vladivostok. It serves as a regional communications hub with a railway junction and an international airport connecting with several major Chinese cities as well as Seoul Korea. Named after the Mudan River, the region's premier tourist attraction is Jingpo Lake famous for its craggy limstone cliffs and its turquoise waters containing Eriction fish and fresh water coral.

My academic essay: The different of the main newspaper between Britain and China.
Newspapers are the one of the most important forms of media to communicate information to individuals or organisations in all countries, but similar newspapers may have some different points in different countries. The main purpose of this report is to compare the quality newspapers between the United Kingdom and China to explain the main differences and the report will use four parts of research to achieve this purpose. The first part is a summary to introduce one British quality newspaper that is The Times. The second part will give some details about People’s Daily which is a Chinese quality newspaper. The third part will use some individual opinions to show what the main differences between The Times and People’s Daily are. The final part will be the conclusion to explain what has been learnt from the comparison.
The Times is a British daily quality newspaper published since 1785. After more than 200 years in print it has become one of the most important newspapers in the world. During its history, it has had different owners and now, Rupert Murdoch’s company, News International runs it. Every day, The Times will publish about 40 pages that have some different sections which are the leading articles, the national news, the opinion, the world news, the business news, the register, and the sport and so on. The Time’s main readership comes from business people and functionaries. The Times was a traditional Conservative Party supporter, but has also supported other parties such as Tony Blair’s Labour government in 1997.
People’s Daily is the most important quality newspaper in China. It is published by Central Committee of the Committee Party of China. The main purpose of People’s Daily is to communicate Chinese government policies and decisions, but it does not mean that People’s daily is just a communication of the government. It also reports a large number of national and international news. In fact, nowadays, People’s Daily has different language editions such as English, French, and Spanish and so on. It is the main bridge to connect the Chinese government and Chinese people and is also one of the best ways to let foreign individuals and organizations to learn China. Every day, People’s Daily will publish 24 pages. From page 1 to page 8 are the Committee Party and government news, from page 9 to 15 is the national news, then from page 16 to 20 are leading articles and the opinion, and the last 4 pages are the world news. Functionaries are the main readership of People Daily.
In this part of report, I will explain some of the differences between The Times and People Daily.
First of all, the ownership of these two newspapers is different. The Times is run by Rupert Murdoch’s company but People’s Daily is published by Central Committee of the Committee Party of China. Therefore, The Times can publish all kinds of news that the company feels is interesting but this is impossible for People’s Daily. For example, people never see a gossip column in People’s Daily. Secondly, The Times switched to tabloid size after 2004, but People Daily is always published by broadsheet from its’ founding to now. Thirdly, the sections of newspaper are very different. On the one hand, The Times does not have much information about the administration party or government every day. However, every day, People’s Daily uses 6 pages to publish a lot of news to communicate the daily events of the Chinese central and district governments. On the other hand, The Times has a business section, and people can find a lot of information from it. For example people can see equity prices from The Times but there is not a particular section for business in People’s Daily. People can find some business news, but the amount is less than The Times. At the same time, The Times also has the sports section where people can read many sports news and especially get football information. But, People’s Daily does not report sports news every day, and it just reports sports news in some special time such as the Olympic Games. The next difference it the register. The Times has the section to report registers, but People’s Daily does not have this. Also the employees of these two newspapers are different. The employees of The Times are working for a company, and they are like business people. However, the Employees of People’s Daily are working for a government and they are functionaries. More so, political allegiances must be different. The Times can choose different Political Parties to support, but People’s Daily is a part of one political party. Finally, advertisement is one of the most important ways that The Times receives profit. People can see there are many advertisements in The Times. But there are not many advertisements in People’s Daily, because it has the financial support from the government.
All in all, there are some points that people can learn from above research. Firstly, the political systems are different between the UK and China, so the newspaper industry must have some different structures. In Britain, the main newspaper can be run by individual or company, but in China the main Chinese newspapers are owned by the government. Therefore, the main purpose of The Times and People’s Daily must have different points. The Times’ purpose may be get profit and become more successful, but People’s Daily’s purpose is just to be a window of the government. Secondly, the sections of the newspaper are different. The content of The Times is rich, and people can find lots of different kind of news when they read The Times. But the content of People’s Daily is limited, because it pays more attention to the Chinese politics. Finally, they are both good newspapers for each countries, although they have some different. On the one hand, in the UK people like to read The Times, because they can know much different information from one paper. On the other hand, in China people also like to read People Daily, because the politics situation is different between these two countries. It is very important that the Chinese people know the government information every day.

Some Number's meaning for Chinese people.
First of all, I want to show a funny thing.
This is a front of a polo shirt, and it does not have any problem. Now see the back of the shirt.
It is number 2. For most of people, they will think that it also is not a problem and does not have some sepcial meaning. However! Remember! Never wearing this polo shirt go to the north-east of China, becasue Number 2 means stupid or foolish in this area. I do not know why even I am living in the north-east of China. However, in other area of China, some people think 2 that is a quite luckly number, because chinese people think "Good things should be in pairs"
In my opinion, two of the best number for chinese people are Number 6 and Number 8. Number 6 means something smooth going; double 6 means that everything will be plain-sailing. Number 8 means more and more money, because the pronunciation of 8 in chinese is same as "getting rich".
The worst number is 4, because its pronunciation is same as "death".

I must say that I play this game quite late, but it is still a very good game. It was released in 2009, but I has played it in 2011. The second game will release soon. If some people who do not play this game before; I suggest to play it first that can help you to know the origin of the story and also can learn the basic control of the game.

Dali City, another old town in Kunming Province
Dali was the ancient capital of both the Bai kingdom Nanzhao, which flourished in the area during the 8th and 9th centuries, and the Kingdom of Dali, which reigned from 937-1254. Therefore, it is a historic city in China. Nowadays, it beomes a major tourist destination, along with Lijiang (just 2 hours distance by car), for both domestic and international tourists. Dali has old town and new city; I would like to show some information and pictures about old town (in my opinion, lots of new city in china that are quite similar.)
The city gate of the old town. Bai Kingdom Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom were both very small local authorities in China History, so the city gate cannot be compare to the Beijing old city gate. One thing, I must say: Bai Kingdom Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom were the Kingdom before, but they 100% were a part of China. Nowadays, the number of the Chinese nation is 56 (56 different ethnic groups). Dali history that were written by the Chinese minority nation, and is a part of chinese history.
The door of the old Marshal House (It also was a old military area many many years ago, maybe 200 years ago.). One thing is very intreseting that is a modern Chinese military area is opposite to it (I cannot take the picture from it, because here is the top secret area, some soldiers are outside the area and telling people no taking picture. )
Look down the old town from the top of the old gate.
Foreign Street (It means the street was built by foreign people many years ago. Nowadays, China just has three old and ture foreign street. This one may be oldest. I do not sure, but local people told me that it is.)
local restaurant.
ethnic food.
The hotel where I lived.
