Spring Comes to Shanghai
By Jian Shuo Wang on 2005-04-14 23:11 · SpringSpring comes to Shanghai. The full spring has arrived.
This two weeks, the tune of the Blue Danube of Johann Strauss is the background of my thoughts. I see the flowers blooming in my garden and new leafs come out of the trees. What a pleasant surprise to see some trees in my garden that I have claimed to death boom again and turned on a green look in the last two weeks. I was not able to tell the name of the trees (桂花，红枫，黄杨). But I love to see them in green dress again. The grass started to grow quickly too. The long winter completely passed.
The winter of this year is colder than any year before. It snowed several times (I, II, III) which is rare in the previous years. This winter is longer than before too. In the recent month, we cannot tell the weather of the next day. It goes completely out of rational. The temperature difference can be as large as 10 degrees. :-) The good thing is, it is over. The spring comes!

It's me. I finded your blog and took a short look. It's perfect wonderful and I think gradually I will know you more via it.
Is it a surprise? :)
Are you from Luoyang? I come from Xi'an and we were so near to each other! One of my friends named Liu Yansong also graduated from Luoyang No.1 High School. My original hometown is Jiaozuo Henan province. What an amazing coincidence!
Wang but I sure would like to know your opinion, whether you participated in the demonstration and general idea about whats happening in Shanghai regarding this. Thanks!
But I also agree with what Chinese said as above:
"...since this post is dedicated to whats happening in Shanghai, I just thought you would at least let your readers such me, know whats happening..."
My suggestion is that you can just report it as a REAL JOURNALIST. A REAL piece of NEWS should be very plain, just presenting the event, without any justment.
I am serious.
1. I didn't see any one protest during my day of April 16, since I was at home working on PPT in thie morning and went to university from 4:00 PM.
2. I didn't hear any report on TV or radio about this.
3. I did receive documents about the protest from a student
4. I did learnt that the protest went on the whole day in the Xian Xia road area, and HEARD some Japanese store was crashed, and some Japanese cars were pulled down and destoried. I didn't see it, and cannot confirm this news.
5. I did see 5 cars of anti-violent army forces near the Shanghai Library this afternoon.
6. I cannot get any information on the Internet about this event. Maybe because I didn't search hard enough.
That is all the obversation. Thanks for your understanding that I don't want to put my comments along the report.
Oh, really? Wow, such a thoughtful reader.
"It is better than to pretend nothing is happening."
Is it?!! Hmm.... such a thoughtful reader?
In any journalist publications, classical or modern, what will be published and editorialized are determined only by the editor and publisher. The owner of this blog states his charter very clearly: "Events (in Shanghai) that affects my life (and others')" and a reader ought not to test the stretch of the charter just for his/her own curiosity but, instead, should be very considerate of the blog writer's stand point, if the reader truly is fond of this blog. Let's enjoy reading.
In the event of fighting forest fire, there is a technique called "Controlled Burning", that is to set a fire prior to the fire path. The technique is like a sword with two edges, it can exhaust the burning at the control line and serve to the favour of the firefighter, but if the wind shifted or the firefighter miscalculated, the whole technique may back fire to the face of the firefighter who orginated the the plan often with a devastating consequence.
