Live in between two cultures.....

Linking to the original art work of the artist: http://www.skidone.com/


"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."---Eleanor Roosevelt

"Surviving opportunity will made you give out your consent to the one, who make you feel inferior." ---Nancy Liu

It seems always a dilemma for me to live in between of two cultures. Even though I can not deny the benefits of having more assets in mind in appreciating the beauty of East and West, no matter that is in literature or people. However, it provides me a spacious room to hide my thoughts and emotion when I felt sad to confront any disagreement due to the cultural differences in social behavior or perspectives.

There are many incidents happened in my life were caused by my understanding of English, a foreign language to Chinese; as in the meantime, I do see many of misinterpretation about Chinese way of life and culture by English speakers. Sometimes, I can not bear the ugliness of Westerners and can not hold my anger for them to ignore my opinions; all of these anger incidents were caused by my sensitivity of the language usage and the meaning of body languages. I do wish I can be less sensible to others; the way they talk, the facial expression, the tone holding....

I decided not to going out for any trip with my mother-in-law or any Chinese like her after an accidents happen on airplane during our trip to Hawii, she is the one bow to those drama desinging garbage White and Black flight attendant American with 90 degree Japanese style and blamed me for complaining those trash's rudeness. All just because she doesn't understand what they talking about in English. In the meantime, I do wish the generation of my mother-in-law can be smoothly pass away dying out from their immigrant's life in this country.

And all the shame of being a Chinese American in the United States like the drama in this incident can be buried along with their death and disappeared from this country while under God we pray for an fair minded ruling system to be erected on this land, which formed by immigrants as the same rule in my previous article: who will be the next one to be sent to concentration camp in the United States.

This drama display White and Black working together to place Chinese to sit on the last row of seat where originally designed for language placement. It sounds like whose term to sit on the back row of seat after Slavery abolishment 50 years ago in the United States. Very typical American style of soapy drama. This is the brutal American culture that Chinese blamed me to pick it up too fast while they still busy in 90 degree bowing gesture to any colors of this world.

Or I should say the surviving make us bow to whoever you met, black, white, brown, red, and whatsoever.....

I am always sighting too much by seeing or confronting in person with so many unpleasant experiences. In the other way, I do keep reminding myself to keep my knowledge up in competence to this world is the only way to live with pride that can help me in rejecting anybody in this country on this earth working on inferior me as second class mankind. It is the educational system raised this group of people being so snobbish to others with overwhelming, unreasonable confidence to be little others. It is also the same system training them to be such well-equipped with their surviving skill and ability and provide them opportunities to live a quality life much better than other mankind's on this earth.
It is difficult for me to cover my envy to those people live under the system setting of this country in contrary to my life lack of cover by an intelligent system setter's ruling. How I wish all the rule can be turning around to be which color look down which, and whose turn to be picked in any public place, live under teasing, in playing the ridiculous opera : "Desire and Drama."

Bible study - Google partner with Playboy?


Google has a thoughtful income idea for their blogger, the program named AdSense. I was speechlesly excited to have a powered by Google advertisement opportunity to earn income for my effort of writing and editing my blog.
Once I click on each AD they retrieve into my column, an Ad named "Body Language Decoder" directing your click to a website with many pornographic photo pictures teaching you how to send and receive "love" signals". I was furious with the irritation of those pornographic photo pictures, due to I am a Christian mother and attend church Sunday; even though, I am still a unclassified Christian.
Waiting for a few days, the ad still there, I then send an email to AdSense to complain which is an auto-no reply email center. Helplessly, I send an email again to San Jose Mercury News to express my anger and disappointment with a company like Google need to cooperated with such web site to promote their business.
After my complaining to these two well known organizations, I DIY the problem by myself, I entered the HTML code page, deleted the entire AdSense code, and try reload my template again. Thanks God, it disappeared. Losing the impossible-earn-income opportunity? Nae....
Believe or not, check out your AdSense yourself.
God Blessed.

Education

1. 當學生出現短暫學習困難時,老師會立即提出矯正計劃,在課堂上或是放學
後進行個別輔導,費用由政府負擔,芬蘭學生的學習表現並沒有明顯城鄉差距.

So the quality of citizen can be equally high. In Chinese society,
big family back ground or special city get the resource from government.

2.在大多數國家,高等教育學生平均分配到的經費最多;反觀芬蘭,投資在
初級中學生的經費, 這階段的小孩正發展自己的學習方法,需要最多的資源.

In Chinese society, only a group of college students can get government
resource in funding on certain program.

Taiwan has scholar written this idea that learn from others, but there is no governmental official to design and carry out this project? When I was young, there is no any supporting system to help me with any learning difficulties, everything need student's own family to pay the school teacher for private tutor. Rich or poor, the community you live, and friends around you decide your learning result.

Teachers fighting for income still is a normal situation in every Chinese society. How can China be, if Taiwan can not improve or performing well and giving positive influence onto China? What I described is 40 years ago. Taiwan today should be better than 40 years ago, and get even better in 20 years later. Being more closer to live out the quality of life as Western developed couturiers year after year.

US$ 33 Million.......

Every time when I read newspaper about government budget amount spend on some projects, I could not help to sight, "WOW!". Is that a real money or just a series of astronomical number printed on newspaper? These number looked like those numbers on science book counting about the distance between different planets in light years. Is it really a countable money? Thinking about physical counting 33 million US dollars? And, is that US Dollars? Not Japanese Yen(1:100), or Russian Rouble (1:24) ?

33 million dollars green plan by VTA, 33 million dollars state fund fraud case in Santa Clara county...........wow, thinking about this number of cash dropping like confetti........ I want to be drown in there.........I think everybody will like to ben drown in there..... my eyes are blinking with dollar sign.........

One time, I was almost volunteer to join our school district's Bond oversight committee; one of the reason is curious on how such big amount of money can be spent; however, thinking over 2-3 days about my own family concern, I still decided to let go the opportunity. I know each step of experience is important to be accumulated by participating any voluntary work in community, attending each meeting, forum, conference all need to take time and sacrifice family life.

It is a tough decision to make when I know my child will not be carefully watched before 13 years old after school hour, and now she will be always peek on her computer game or online drama if I am not sending my alert sensor over her. I probably should claim this is my fault, for she hasn't been trained as an well disciplined plus intelligent teenager.

身既死兮神以靈,子魂魄兮為鬼雄


"五十而知天命 「天命」,就是天的命令。 如劉氏《正義》引《漢書董仲舒傳對策》曰:「天令之謂命。」 劉氏《正義》說:「知天命者,知己為天所命,非虛生也。 蓋夫子當衰周之時,賢聖不作久矣。及年至五十,得《易》學之,知其有得,而自謙言無大過。 則天之所以生己,所以命己,與己之不負乎天。 故以知天命自任。 命者,立之於己,而受之於天,聖人所不敢辭也。」

~~~~~~~~~~論語為政篇~~四書集解~~~~~~~~

`` 「則天之所以生己,所以命己,與己之不負乎天。 故以知天命自任。」 找到天命並實踐之,証明自已非虛生,不負乎天。 方能無愧於心,才能好死吧! "

What I really want to advise Maggie is all of the work in literacy will never earn equal income with the weight of words she wrote. Maggie is very talented in writing in Chinese literature; however, none of us can survived by sharing our good quality of literary writing. Some of bigot Chinese men even try to challenge her, due to her female status without big family behind her.

Sometime, I was reading on I-Reading web site seeing her argue with bunches of Chinese, probably those are her friends, at least she knew them maybe, some discussions can smell gun powder. It is fun. When I said it is fun because they all are not teen aged, the all work in some sorts of professional fields and spend time join the reading section in a online book club and can be discussing on some subjects with such emotion, that is the reason I said it is fun to read them, in the mean time smell the gun powder burning within the lines of sentences. And thinking Maggie is much shorter and slim than I do, solely against bunches of Chinese alone, that made me felt even funnier by reading it.

Sometimes, I really want to tell her keep the emotion rationally. We always try to remind each other about emotional control; especially, when our age getting older, we became more stubborn than before. Maggie still single and work for real state development project, sometimes travels between countries in Asia, currently works for a small realtor in Taipei. We both enjoy reading and writing, she is one refer me to this on-line book club.

All of good works need to be recognized and appreciated by same level of quality people; otherwise, any of your good work probably just bring you more jalousies from low land lousy people causing your life become disastrous. As I so recommended to this web blog while I see it as an astonishing performance, in other Male's eye might became purely jealousies. His case probably shouldn't be compare here, for he did earn some professional recognition as he addressed in his biography.

This is not part of Chinese culture.



Today I was inside church for my date with God, and the pastor asked us to hug each other and giving out bless. There are two young Chinese girls sat in front of me, and one young Chinese couple sat behind me. I looked at them and no one return any smile to me even an eye contact that hesitated me in reaching out my arm to hug them; plus I am so afraid of that might make them scream if I do so without their subconsciously agree to my action. Then the pastor in the very front would think there are
few Chinese under his eyelid try to play comedy drama during his service at a such formal occasion. Therefore, I kept quiet and motionless until the closure of the ceremony to share my thoughts spoke in Chinese about the cultural difference with that two young girls in front of me who did hug an old Caucasian lady in front of them when that old lady turned to hug them, these two young girls were passively accepted of the pastor's instruction.

I, in the meantime, realized hugging or any body contact is not normally accepted culture in Chinese life, which including giving bless to our loved one. We are raised up and taught to restrain our emotion in any business. Hugging and saying warm words to people in our culture are belong to Westerns culture, Chinese spent most our time on work and argue. Or we don't even know how to taking care our own emotion, including how to express it or share to a person you think deserve your trust. My personal experience in finding a right person to share my emotion is so hard, so I choose to go to church to confess my worrisome to God.
