2008-04-14: Yifan in His 9th Month
This is my Yifan. He is 10 months old now, and I just found a photo of him at the end of the 9th month.
He is crawling on the ground, with his toy box and chair in the background.
This is another one:
As a young father, I am more and more proud of the little boy. Seeing small progress of him everyday just made me happy. Although to be objective, every boy grow almost as fast as each other, but every father just feel his son is the smartest – I also think so. (Something I know it is not the truth.)
He starts to understand things. He starts to be able to play little game with me. He has his independent thinking already, and clearly show "I want this", or "I don’t like that." He started to show some potential of a little troublemaker for me:
- I bring him out and some times found a piece of leaf in his hand when we are back – I have no idea when he got it.
- He just successfully push a dish onto the ground and broke it, and we paid 10 RMB for what he did to the restaurant.
- He love to read our big paper book instead of his smaller cotton books, and to be more exact, he enjoy tearing the books much more than reading it.
- He started to love his toys, and has some "friends".
- I realized he love "good toys", instead of expensive ones. He enjoy a piece of thick thread much more than the toys I brought from stores. A piece of grass is also something that makes him happy a lot.
My life is fill of joyfulness with this little boy. So is Wendy.
2007-04-14: Beijing Develops Faster than Shanghai
My recent trips to Beijing gave me the impression that Beijing develops and changes much faster than Shanghai in the recent 2 years. Here are some evidence.
1) The third terminal is almost completed, with the third air-control tower, preparing huge traffic for 2008 Olympics.
2) Beijing airport to Downtown train under construction all so many metro lines
3) Not to mention the Olympics village area.
4) There are many HUGE complex completed. Like the one I visited – Huamao – near the China Trade Center – they have about 20 high-raised buildings for office and residential, and connected with underground garage.
5) Shangri-la will open its new tower, and Ritz Carlton, JW Marriott opens near East Third Ring.
6) The Tsinghua area boosted with Stanford/Valley returnees, and a new round of Internet startup boom emerges.
There are many other evidence that Beijing is in the fastest development stage I have ever witnesses. Olymipics is just a little bit than 400 days away. I asked Is Beijing Ready? last year. Now, I still don’t it is completely ready, but clearly on the path.

- to DC above, and to anybody like to visit beijing can learn beijing more in this site, about beijing travel <a href="http://beijing.triptochina.info" rel="nofollow">http://beijing.triptochina.info</a> wish you good luck. and welcome to beijing.
- Hi JS, I would like to visit Beijing. My friend asked me to wait until next year because a lot of interesting tourist attraction are partially close down for renovation. Is that true? What is your recommendation?
- Even they built many huge builders that's nothing for normal people. the environment is bad.
- Firstly, it should sound too general to say which city is developing faster than which city. Secondly, I think the newness and growth you saw in Beijing have mainly been driven by the Olympics.
2006-04-14: Democracy in Residential Area
Democracy is a sensitive word. You can not search it in Google, and you can not include it in your blog in MSN Space. However, recently, the residential area is experiencing the democratic election of the member of the Residential Area Property Owners’ Committee.
Banner: Appreciate the Democracy Right!
The whole banner reads:
Appreciate the Democracy Right! Actively participate in the selection of Residential Area Property Owners’ Committee Member!
These banners are seen many places. They are there for more than a month, I remember.
Candidates
After first round of selection, there are 12 candidates in the final selection. Their self-introduction and pictures are posted at the board at the entrance.
The conflict between property owners’ (including me) and the property management company exists for a long time. The house owners complain that the service company didn’t provide good service, and the monthly fee is too high. It is a long story. Many owners want to select members representing their interest.
It is interesting that one week before the final election, small posters stating 3 candidate didn’t pay the management fee for the last one or two years were posted in many places. The poster suggest people not to vote these candidates.
I guess it may be done by the management company.
The Voting
The voting will end tomorrow. Boxes collecting tickets are places at all the entrance.
Tomorrow, the first “All-Hands Meeting” will be held.
The Process
According to law, after a residential area is built, the house owners will setup their Owner’s Committee. All rights regarding the property belongs to the committee. One of the most important right is to choose a property management company.
It is a starting point of using voting to make decisions. I truly hope the process goes on well in my residential area.

- www.cchreus.org and click on fraudulent marketing When school authorities tell a mother that her son is sick and needs to be on drugs ,how in the world is she to know that ,that is simply a lie . How is she to recognize that what experts now call "SCHIZOPHRENIA" is simply not a disease now,such a mother is not an expert in the history of psychiatry,she does not know that psychiatrist have for hundreds of years used diagnostic terms,so called diagnostic terms,to stigmatize and control people I will only give you a few aromatic examples when BLACK SLAVES in the south ran away to freedom, it wasn't that they wanted to be free they suffered from a disease called dropetomania from drapetes run away slave,and mania I'AM NOT MAKING THIS UP ! . This was a a legitmate diagnosis just like SCHIZOPHRENIA woman half the population of mankind,of course, if they were foolish enough to rebel against domination by man well then they had a serious disease called HYSTERIA , which was due to their wandering womb.now none of those behaviors was ever a disease and, of course, is not a disease nor is SCHIZOPHRENIA disorder a desease no behavior or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. that's not what diseases are so it doesn't matter how child behaves . there is nothing to examine . if he is sick then there must be some objective science to it . which can be diagnosed by physicians and objective test . that's why as soon as you go to a doctor they take a lot of blood and take x-rays. they don't want to hear how you behave. when I went to medical school sixty years ago there were only a handful of mental diseases . I think there were no more than six or seven . now there are more than three hundred .And now ones are quote," discovered"every day . labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization,not diagnosis. giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning ,not treatment .Diseases are malfunction of the human body ,of the heart , the liver the kidney,the heart, the liver the kidney,the brain and so forth . typhoid fever is a disease, you all know that , you don't question that spring fever all you have to know is English . Spring fever is not a disease. the task we get ourselves, to combat psychiatric coercison is important. I think it's important you all think it's important not enough people think it's important , it's a noble task, a task in the pursuit of which we must , regardless of obstacles, persevere, our conscience commands that we do no less.

- 25 GOOD REASONS WHY PSYCHIATRY MUST BE ABOLISHED by Don Weitz 1. Because psychiatrists frequently cause harm, permanent disabilities, death - death of the body-mind-spirit. 2. Because psychiatrists frequently violate the Hippocratic Oath which orders all physicians "First Do No Harm." 3. Because psychiatrists patronize and disempower people, especially their patients. 4. Because psychiatry is not a medical science. 5. Because psychiatry is quackery, a pseudo-science which lacks independent diagnostic tests, testable hypotheses, and cures for "schizophrenia" and all other types of alleged "mental illness" or "mental disorder". 6. Because psychiatrists can not accurately and reliably predict dangerousness, violence, or any other type of human behaviour, yet make such claims as "expert witnesses", and with the media promote the "dangerous mental patient" myth/stereotype. 7. Because psychiatrists have caused a worldwide epidemic of brain damage by promoting and prescribing brain-disabling treatments such as the neuroleptics, antidepressants, electroconvulsive brainwashing (electroshock), and psychosurgery (lobotomy). 8. Because psychiatrists manufacture hundreds of "mental disorders" classified in its bible called "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" (a modern witch-hunting manual); such "mental disorders" and "symptoms" are in fact negative, class-and-culturally-biased moral judgments for dissident ways of coping with personal problems and alternative ways of perceiving, interpreting or being in the world. 9. Because psychiatrists, blinded by their medical model bias, fraudulently pathologize and label people's serious life or existential crises as "symptoms" of "mental illness" or "mental disorder" such as "schizophrenia","bipolar affective disorder", and "personality disorder". 10. Because psychiatrists compound this fraud by falsely claiming, without scientific proof, that these "mental disorders" are caused by a "biochemical imbalance" in the brain, genetic factors or "genetic predispositions", despite the fact that there are no genetic factors in "mental illness". 11. Because psychiatrists frequently misinform their patients, families and the public by claiming that brain-disabling procedures such as the neurotoxins (e.g.,"antipsychotic medication" and "antidepressasnts"), electroconvulsive brainwashing (electroconvulsive therapy/"ECT"), psychosurgery (lobotomy) and other behaviour modification-mind control procedures are "safe, effective and lifesaving". The exact opposite is tragically true. 12. Because psychiatrists routinely deceive or lie to patients, prisoners, their families, and the public. 13. Because psychiatrists routinely and willfully violate the medical-ethical principle of "informed consent" by misinforming or not informing their patients about the numerous toxic, disabling and frequently permanent effects of the neuroleptics such as memory loss, tardive dyskinesia, tardive psychosis, parkinsonism, dementia (all signs of brain damage), and death. 14. Because psychiatrists routinely threaten, intimidate or coerce many patients - particularly women, children, the elderly, and prisoners - into consenting to health-threatening/brain-damaging "treatment" such as the antidepressants, neuroleptics, electroconvulsive brainwashing, and hi-risk experiments. 15. Because psychiatrists frequently fail to fully inform psychiatric inmates and prisoners about existing safe and humane, non-medical alternatives in the community such as survivor-controlled crisis centres, drop-ins, self-help or advocacy groups, diet, massage, wholistic medicine, affordable supportive housing, and jobs. 16. Because psychiatrists are sexist in frequently stereotyping women in crisis as "hysterical" or "over-emotional", blaming women whenever they voice real complaints and assertively express their feelings and emotions, prescribing massive doses of tranquilizers and antidrepressants to disproportionately large numbers of women, and in sexually assaulting women in their offices and institutions. 17. Because psychiatrists, particularly white male psychiatrists, are homophobic - the American Psychiatric Association (APA) once labelled homosexuality as a "mental illness" or "mental disorder" - and have used forced electroshock on lesbians, trying to coerce them into adopting a heterosexual life style. 18. Because psychiatrists are ageist in prescribing tranquilizers, antidepressants ("medication") and electroconvulsive brainwashing for disproportionately large numbers of elderly people - a form of elder abuse. 19. Because psychiatrists are racist in disproportionately incarcerating and drugging people of African descent, aboringal people, other people of colour and labelling them "psychotic" or "schizophrenic". 20. Because psychiatrists routinely violate people's civil rights, human rights and constitutional rights such as imprisoning innocent people without court trial or public hearing ("involuntary commitment"), and subjecting them to cruel and unusual punishments or tortures such as forced drugging, electroconvulsive brainwashing, psychosurgery, solitary confinement, "chemical restraints", and 4-point or 5-point restraints. 21. Because psychiatrists masterminded the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people including disabled children, the elderly and psychiatric patients during The Holocaust in Nazi Germany, and "selected" hundreds of thousands of concentration camp prisoners for death ("T-4 euthanasia" program) - historical facts still missing in psychiatric textbooks and histories. 22. Because psychiatrists have willingly participated in and administered mind-control experiments in the United States and Canada since the early 1950s - its chief targets have been poor patients, women, dissidents and prisoners. 23. Because psychiatry, particularly institutional-biological psychiatry, is based on the 3 Fs: Fear, Fraud,and Force. 24. Because psychiatry is a form of social control or punishment - not treatment. 25. Because psychiatry, particularly institutional-biological psychiatry, is fascist - a direct threat to democracy, human rights and life.
- I hope this information could be useful,and if anyone could help shed light I would be greatful . I'am a victim of psychiatric abuse its a crime, and in hospital I have witnessed the twisted mentality of mental health professionals such as abuse like punishing me with force drugging of antipsychotics , chemical restraints ,isolation for days at a time with in appropriate meals, and nursing staff threating me with anything they thought of and it just depends on how mad you got the staff that day. I never did anything out of control or did I get violent,yet I was just standing up for patients rights and making my argued opinions in result I would get tortured with over dosing of forced antipsychotic drugs. I have even witnessed nursing staff murder a co-patient and it was sickening,frustrating and very sad part of my life. I also have a young friend who got an E.C.T done and it has completly fried his memory. after the reinforcement of drugs I have had tremors symtoms of N.M.S head pains, heart cardiac pains,weight gain ,dizzyness and sleepiness all caused by side affects of antipsychotic drugs. I suffer each day with the symptoms and I don't think I will live that long on psychiatric medication its deadly look at the statistics if anyone can help me with this prosectution I would appreciate all the help I can get please I can name a few people who were responsible for the murders of some people: Dr. David Cochrane (psychiatrist) R.N: Mark Samuel ,R.P.N: Sandy ,Robb All this took place at the Northeast Mental Health Center abbreviated N.E.M.H.C use to be called the north bay psychiatric hospital P.O.

- I was introduced to your blog by my friend. the following just is a bird view of what i have in mind after roughly going through your blog. firstly i really am appreciateful for your sticking with english blogging, excellence is the result of habitual behavior, you really set a good examply in person and embed this lasting motto. secondly, you really desearve our compliments for what you have offered and will provide in almost every aspect of life in shanghai, so i personally hold you in high respect for your social well-being! thirdly, i myself is have a crush for english, i like the way english is writen and sung, and make up my mind to compose english blog right away, your master of writen english really do encourage me to flesh my passion with some kind of pratical actions such as uploading english blog, thanks again for your examplary effect! at last, i am sorry but to say that all that missing regarding the content of your blog, in particular the comments ,is your constructive response to those topcis that really hurt our the sentiment of Chinese people, let alone the overwhelmingly positive contribution our communist party have always been making for our nation, i hope i get it right here, that whenever it comes to such political or sensitive topics, you just seem to hide yourself from shedding your insight, perhaps it is because those above topics are too complicated and political to be addressed just by responding to the comments-related, but i sincerely hope that you can at least set aside from your tight daily schedule to defend our nation in your own way !

- Is China really better than America? Anyone who wants to make money in China has to surrender to the political power of the Chinese Communist Party. Investing in China may be profitable, but when problems arise, you have no recourse. What is even more disgraceful is that for financial gains, a few overseas countries and corporations investing in China have sold their souls by exchanging human rights for business opportunities in China. They have tacitly acquiesced to and have extended the CCP's crimes. American technology should be used to crack open, not cement, the authority of the Communist party. The American economy has become as dependent on import of Chinese products as it has on Saudi oil. As with Saudi oil, it only makes sense to see that near exclusive dependence on import of Chinese products (no matter how cheap), is not a healthy habit, and that America should in both cases start looking for alternate sources for such products. And it further makes sense to ensure that such sources should, as far as possible, not originate from, and not financially benefit, countries that are openly or furtively working to undermine democracy and open society. Clearly, the all-pervading aim of the Chinese regime is not the conversion of the PRC into a pluralistic political system with a free market economy modeled after, and integrated with, Western institutions. Rather, its purpose is to perpetuate the Communist Party's rule. For this it needs nationalism and the army; all else is subordinated to the furthering of those indispensable instruments of state power. Western states, are betraying their conscience and fundamental human values in their pursuit of their economic interests. Just ask yourself what difference does it make if older Communist Party authoritarians are replaced by younger, technically trained or even capitalist authoritarians? What many reports failed to point out was that nearly all the leading financial, business and industrial figures in China were invariably the close relatives, sons, daughters, nephews, wives, etc., of China's highest-ranking Communist Party officials. There is a solution here, start caring about how you invest your resources, your economy and beliefs... The "Free World" only need to work together by boycotting the Communist Party. This method doesn't provide them with technologies, capital investments and or support while at the same time, prevents the use of military action. The Communist Party would have never been in power to begin without the support from Russia. Even now Russia sells major weapons to their "People's Liberation Army" and so forth. This isn't the place here to discuss in details all the facts. I just want to point out the importance how every American company should be FIRST investing in it's own backyard before supporting corrupt evil regimes for the sake of profits! Maybe that is where "Capitalism" fails? For example, for each purchase that you make, you are funding, promoting or endorsing: > the suppression of democracy and freedom > wholesale and indiscriminate use of the death penalty > commercial harvesting of transplant organs of executed prisoners > denial of basic rights to Chinese workers and farmers > nationwide forced abortions and sterilizations > sweeping and brutal repression of all religions > criminal psychiatric abuse of political prisoners > routine torture of prisoners > military occupation and genocide in Tibet > draconian repression in East Turkestan > military expansion and aggression > world's tightest Internet censorship (and) > the largest dealer of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to rogue states When you fail to demonstrate adequate concern for the freedom of others, you embolden and empower those who want to take yours away. A good society depends on the free availability of facts and opinions, and on the growth of vision and consciousness - the description of what individuals have actually seen and known and felt. Any restriction of the freedom of individual contribution is actually a restriction of the resources of society.
- You can not search Google for it.
- >>Boxes collecting tickets are places at all the entrance<< Is the privacy of the vote respected ? If yes, How do they manage that people vote only once? That is important question
- decmocracy stayed far away from Chinese for a bit long time. It is sort of hard to play with it in a short timeframe. Now in China most of people come along with " no sense in a group".
- it was a bit long story and will be a long story as well.
- To designate a chairperson for and on behalf of the owners' association thru electoral voting is not an act of decmocracy. Someone is mixing the the corporation and country together!
- Sounds like fun. Why didn't you run for a seat on the committe?
- Very good, Jianshuo ! It has to begin somewhere ! Same here where I live, the management charges a lot, but mostly keep thier efforts on the common garden care, and to be bully to the cars inside. The cable TV signals are lousy, even the fee is skyhigh. Amazing that nobody haven't posted anything on this... :-) The mices must be hiding in their holes. Maybe the d........ word scared them off ?
2005-04-14: Spring Comes to Shanghai
Spring 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!

- Yes, spring has finally arrived in Shanghai, also the beginning of the forest fire season. 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.

- "...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..." 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.
- Here is my observation: 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.
- At the second thought, Jianshou, you'd better not say anything about it. I am serious.
- Jianshuo, I guess I may know a little bit about why you don't comment on the anti-Japanese demonstration. you have the right to decide what to put on your blog. You have a very careful and serious attitude toward your public articles and don't want to say something you are not sure or not clear, or for what ever reason. That is right. I respect it. 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.
- well jianshuo, I wasnt looking for you to make controversial statements about the demonstrations, but 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. It is better than to pretend nothing is happening.
- i agree with you, jian shuo. we have the freedom to keep silent (maybe for a while)as the same as the freedom to express.
- I was in university today (see today's entry). What I can confirm is, from 3:00 to 9:00 PM, in the north eastern part of Shanghai, I didn't see it around me. I guess the major gathering place is at the People's Square. I just don't know how I should comment on this. I have a very mixed feeling. It is big news, but I may have different oppinion on this. So, I'd like to keep silence on this for a while. It is not about censorship. It's a little bit about confusion.
- Yes Zhang, I am very curious about the anti japanese news too. I have been reading in many other Shanghai blogs about the anti-japanese demonstrations except for this blog and received emails from my japanese friends in Shanghai too. I like Wang's blog very much, but after this sort of semi "censure" in this blog of this huge news among Shanghainese, I am very disappointed. 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!
- How is the anti-japanese demonstration there in Shanghai?
- Jianshuo: 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!
- Welkin, welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here, as I enjoyed my stay in Zhejiang University. I hope you are as excited to meet me as I do when I meet you in ZJU.
- Hi, dear Jianshuo: 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? :)
- spring~~a time of renewal. May you also be renewed as the trees in your garden. Happy Spring =)

2004-04-14: Canon WebView Camera VB-C10
© Canon.com
I returned from the Canon Expo Asia 2004 in the Super Brand Mall in Pudong, near the Pearl Tower.
The most interesting thing in the expo is the WebView Internet Camera. It is simple – just a camera with a 15V DC electricity power line AND a network cable. Plug it into any working network port and people can control the camera to move left/right/up/down and zoom in and out. There are some very interesting demos at their website. This is exactly what I was looking for and what I have tried to create one by myself. However, it is not available in the market in China and it is far to expensive for tech funs and home users. According to the staff in the expo, it is sold at around 100,000 10000 RMB in Japan now.
Comments:
- Hi! We want to install more than 15 CANON VB-C50 iR cameras for surveillance of our corporte office. In this regard would u please inform that from China where can i get these cameras. What is ur comapny's postal address and what would be the unit cost of the camers. Waiting for ur response please. Rana M. Zaeem
- You may want to check out Logitech's camera Orbit which also has a controllable pan-tilt mechanism and is much cheaper.

- Wow for that much you could hire a guard ;)
2003-04-14: No SARS Case in Fujian – People Daily
This is to help Anna and anyone non-Chinese speaking persons who concerns about the SARS situation in Fujian. The People Daily’s report was in Chinese. I am trying to translate it into English. Note: I don’t want a accurate word by word translation – just deliver some basic ideas so you are informed.
April 11, Fuzhou. Zhao Peng report.
Recently, the Fujian Tourism Bureau held the “May 1 Holiday Seasons Press Conference”. The Bureau Chief Ming Min said that there is no case of SARS found in Fujian Province so far. Fujian is still the “Safest Tour Destination”
Impacted by SARS, a portion of travelers concern about the safety to tour in the May 1 Chinese holiday seasons. The personal in the Health Bureau of Fujian pointed out that these concerns are completely unnecessary. Till now, there is no SARS case in Fujian, let alone any death for this disease…….
Source: People’s Daily via Sina.com.
Anyone know the English edition of this news? I didn’t spend much time and effort to translate the article.

- Anna, so nice to hear from you - you have "disappeared" for one month. I hope everything is doing well there. Shanghai returns to its normal status, so don't worry. Xiamen should be fine too.
- jian shuo wang.... hey!!! we have been back in manila for 2 months now. we still don't know when we will return to xiamen but we're sure to be there by next year. we have been monitoring the sars situation in china and it looks like it'a almost over. my husband and i are still very cautious about where we go and we still wash our hands often just to make sure. i think it's still too early to feel totally safe. hope shanghai is doing well.
- You might want to check out the following article: <a href="http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200304/19/eng20030419_115447.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200304/19/eng20030419_115447.shtml</a> Also, the WHO stated last week that Fujian Province had 3 cases of SARS. I live in Xiamen and so have been following this.
- Jian Shuo Wang: Thanks so much. At this point I'm willing to take anything that MIGHT help prevent SARS. It probably doesn't work but it won't hurt to try. Thanks again.
- Actually, I don't have any idea of the Chinese medicine. I don't believe too much about whether it helps or not - how it is possible to prevent a disease without knowing the cause of the disease? However, it is always worth to have try in this tough situation. I don't understand the English name of the medicines. The Pinyin does not help either. I have found the source of this recipt at <a href="http://www.people.com.cn/GB/shehui/47/20030409/966794.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.people.com.cn/GB/shehui/47/20030409/966794.html</a> I copied the screen of the page at <a href="http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/2003/04/20/screen-peopledaily-sars.recipt.PNG" rel="nofollow">http://home.wangjianshuo.com/archives/2003/04/20/screen-peopledaily-sars.recipt.PNG</a> If you do want to have a try, print it out and give it to a doctor of Chinese medicine. I don't think anyone can help even if they can read Chinese. :-)
