It’s truly pathetic if you could understand both the Chinese kid and the NK kid talking about. I’m feeling sorry for two of them for their innocence has been badly polluted by political advocacy and exaggeration for commies.
Happy National Day, Republic of China!

Q: I am a new graduate student in Computer Engineering. I would like to get my MS and possibly my Ph.D. I have learned that 90% of my department is from India and many others are from China. All the students come here to study and there are only 7 US citizens in the engineering program this year. Why is that? I have heard that many of the smarter Americans go into medicine or the law and that is why there are so few Americans in engineering. Is this true?
A: Most Americans are probably happy with just an undergrad degree and don’t want to go to grad school.
Exactly. Americans find perfectly good engineering jobs with “just” a bachelor’s degree. There aren’t enough jobs which require advanced degrees in engineering to make it worth the time to give up 2-3 years of engineering paychecks, pay for college, pay for books, pay for living expenses, and earn those advanced degrees. More than likely, you’d graduate with a master’s or a PhD and work at the same job you could get with a bachelor’s degree.
On the other hand, foreigners looking to immigrate to the United States work under the assumption that if they go to school here and earn one of our advanced degrees, then we’d be more likely to allow them to stay once their studies are complete. THAT is why foreigners outnumber Americans in these topics. It’s not because they’re smarter, not because they love engineering more, and not because education is better in their country. It’s because they want to immigrate here.
Wikipedia.org has been banned for long in China Mainland. People are getting annoyed and irritated by the unaccessibleness to this infamous wiki site. It’s supposed to have a way out, they claim. So it comes: to differentiate the Simplified Chinese version and the Traditional Chinese version. Well, it sounds reasonable, Google and Yahoo! set examples, didn’t they?! But, not wikipedia.
It’s not practical to make Chinese audience access wikipedia by simply compromise to the Chinese commie government, not at all. Mainly, 2 reasons:
I’m eager to discuss any ideas that would be useful to let all the Chinese view prohibited sites freely, but not such kind of compromising and self-censoring.
As the inflation rate rises in China recently, saving money becomes more and more essential to an ordinary family. So, how to save money effectively? Here are some useful tips:
There are still some other ways to save money, such as "to bring empty 2L bottles to your office, bring it back with full of spring water in it every day, so that you don't need to purchase water anymore", "Take plastic bags home from danwei", "Grab some print papers home from danwei, squeeze them so to use them as toilet tissues", …, "Do taste one before you buy any fruit, well, it's kind of waste of money buying fruits, forget it."
Clicking twice on the news.163.com shortcut icon, I kicked off my day of comprehensive work. This news story undoubtedly sets the tone for an ordinary day. Evidently, disregarding human rights and being oblivious to basic freedoms are integral aspects of daily life in China.
The story revolves around a state-owned newspaper, Guilin Daily, situated in Guangxi Province in Southern China. It brought to light several well-known instances of fraud committed by a local tourist guide, presenting 9 compelling cases as evidence. The article also featured excerpts from complaint letters written by tourists from Yunnan and Hubei Provinces.
All seems relatively fine, that is, until the local government steps in, asserting that this ill-suited report has severely tarnished Guilin city’s reputation in the realm of tourism. Consequently, they—the government—have called for a retraction of the news piece and a public apology from the reporter. Moreover, individuals employed as guides or in similar capacities are persistently reaching out to relevant officials, seeking explanations and clarifications.
And the outcome? Well, on the 7th page of yesterday’s edition, both the reporter and the newspaper conceded, stating, “Given that our report has indeed misaligned with the truth and unfavorably impacted the local tourism reputation, we hereby offer a public apology.” Cheers to that.
The infamous movie “Transformers” was banned to advertise in China, so, local newspapers use “neglected” to describe it in box-office lists.
Maybe one of my friend was right when she cited that I’m not kind of guy who could stick on one specific job for a long time. I intend to change careers frequently, without thinking much more than freshness. Others could say that I am abnormal or whatever out of it, but I am.
I’m tired of the manager position with pretending to be busy in front of my boss and I am sick of it. I hate being working in a family enterprise since which I need to follow the requests from those stupid offspring of my boss. I’m working for you does not qualify that I work for your damn holy daughter too! Can you dig this?! Hmm.. guess I need to take a rest.
I can read some books in the mean time, money’s not a big deal right now. I need to improve my English actually, I still encounter new vocabs sometimes, and it embarrasses me, a lot.
The necklace would reach me soon, probably in one or two days and I get my jade Buddha sent by my girlfriend. What all I care about is my girlfriend, nothing else. Simple is good, right?
Simple is good.
