有一个老邻居以前是“红小鬼”，十多岁时在山东跟红军大部队抗日，后来参加内战，解放后被称“南下干部”在南方扎根。“老革命”现在已80了，副厅（局）级离休老干部，身体很硬朗，生活很朴素。
有一个四十多岁的老熟人，其父七十五以上，湖南南下，离休干部，谈起离休干部的待遇很高的喔，她说“那是用命打江山拼回来的”。其实她爸的那个年龄，应该是在49年左右参加革命刚达标的人。实际上那个老邻居才是真正参加抗日和内战，是如假包换的 “老革命”，想来他许多战友都不在了。
上面都是“老掉牙”故事的履历表了。

| 竟有如此新闻网特约评论员 | Jul 12, 2007 |
不妨考虑食鼠除害
中国江西新闻网 2007-7-12 16:31:20
中国江西新闻网特约评论员 罗瑞明
6月下旬以来，湖南省洞庭湖区近20亿只东方田鼠因上游泄洪水位上涨内迁，对沿岸22个县市和近800万亩稻田造成严重威胁。 一时间网络上争相转载相关报道，也引起了广州市民的极大关注。在广州的一些论坛上，有网友给出了“田鼠运来广州做野味”的“建议”，并在文后附上多种田鼠烹饪食谱，号召大家“食鼠除害”。此帖一出，引来众人跟帖，大部分人竟然表示可以接受食鼠行为。（7月12日大洋网）

“非典”的诱因是果子狸，若干年前只吃过一次果子狸煲，也是唯一的一次，现在恐怕没人敢吃有鼠和狸名字的菜了，文章不代表民众的声音。

| chicken-like? no, definitely not. not any more. | Jul 16, 2007 |
Kevin Yang wrote:
Looking at the young lady in black top and mini-skirt in front of them, the young reporter is interviewing a shopper by asking “What do you think of her outfit?” Such outfit could be called "chicken-like" in China, because "chicken" is a common way for the Chinese people to refer to a sex worker. That's why a popular Chinese call girl in New York City gave herself a nick name "Kung-Pao-Chicken". If you wonder what a man who sells his body for money would be called, you got it, it is a "duck". Can you imagine what the Chinese would think of those lady football fans of University of Oregon with their big O logo and "Go Duck" signs? By looking at the 2nd photo, it seemed this man hesitated to respond to the reporter's question, perhaps he was thinking something that could be tactic enough so he would not offend his girlfriend next to him. His girlfriend looked like someone who could castrate him right on the spot, if he gave the answer wrong.
Dear Kevin,
Thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us. Well, all looks great, including your captions except this sentence "Such outfit could be called "chicken-like" in China". Well, as a young Chinese girl who is in her early twenties, i don't agree with you at all. Shanghai as you see is following the trends of the developed world, not only in economic performance, but almost in every aspect, fashion certainly included. Now many girls you see on the streets dress quite fashionably, in mini skirts, tank tops, belly shirts, low-cut clothing, or dresses that expose one's back. Sorry I don't know how it is called there in US. Many girls just love to dress like that and feel good about themselves. what you pictured in your first photo, in my opinion, is just a trendy young girl that is commonly seen nowadays in China. and such attire, i think, will absolutely not be regarded as chicken-like at all. It does not show any inappropriateness. As for those sex workers, they may dress much more alluringly, to an extent that you can tell at first sight. I do not meant to offend you by pointing out this, just perhaps your old opinions of what Chinese thought of such apparel might be changed a little bit.
sincerely,
Amy

| civilization is not that far and rare in smaller and remoter cities | Jul 16, 2007 |
Kevin Yang wrote:
Because I enjoy Internet so much, I cannot imagine if I could survive if I have to live somewhere too remote to the civilization and plan my daily activities by daylight. My adaptation capability seems decreasing when my age is increasing.
China is really fast developing. Many places, remote though geologically, is not that backward as you might have pictured in your mind previously. Internet is accessible in many romote places and that's how friends of mine who are far apart as west as in Xinjiang and as south as in Yunnan get to chat with me online and make online phonecalls. So don't worry about that. It will not be a difficult thing at all for you to find some place that is quite suitable for retirement and also has the so-called civilization. Just my opinion only.

| Regarding the dressing | Jul 17, 2007 |
在“闭门造车”之余，偶然去市内的shopping mall转转，就发现女孩们的穿衣打扮着实令人欣心悦目，洋溢着青春。全国着装一片蓝已是若干年前的事了。
建议人们还是到中国走一趟，亲眼感受其变化。

Kevin:
我认为那个女孩子的穿着并不算过分。不知她是否是在记者安排下配合做节目的？否则，该记者采访群众对她的印象则不大合适。若是在美国，说不定又要惹上官司。如果该记者问我，我会说他做节目选错地方选错对象了。
Redred说起“全国着装一片蓝”的情景，使我联想起我们这里街上的女孩子几乎是“到处一片T恤衫”，天冷时则几乎是“到处一片运动衫”，而只有上班族才需要正经打扮，而且某些公司机关对上班族的着装要求也越来越松。有一位刚从中国来的女留学生穿起国内带来的花连衣裙，结果几乎所有遇到她的人在赞美之余都要问一句：”Are you going to have a party today?” 把她弄得莫名其妙。

TOPIC STARTER | Thank you for sharing your observations and perspectives. | Jul 18, 2007 |
Hello, Amy, redred and Yueyin
Thank you for sharing your observations and perspectives. Our diversity in observation certainly expand the dimensions of the perspectives that we can offer to our readers. China indeed has changed a lot, especially the people there. But, there is still a long way to go. In my recent trip, I was missing certain qualities that I once was very familiar with, such as simplicity, sincerity, dislike to monetarilize everything in life. However, I am optimist...

Thank you for sharing your observations and perspectives. Our diversity in observation certainly expand the dimensions of the perspectives that we can offer to our readers. China indeed has changed a lot, especially the people there. But, there is still a long way to go. In my recent trip, I was missing certain qualities that I once was very familiar with, such as simplicity, sincerity, dislike to monetarilize everything in life. However, I am optimistic about the Chinese people's judgments and abilities to examine and digest the new ideas, including the sense of fashion, so to ignite more creative thoughts and inventions that can benefit more people in the world.
I would like to bring your focus to your camera lenses and hope you all can contribute more photos of your own with stories about your personal experiences in China. The format I used in page 1 of this thread has received lots of positive feedback. Let's let our photos talk.

You did wonderful thing putting these WONDERFUL pictures here. I'll never forget China because I spent the most beautiful 10 days in my life in Beijing in April, 2004.

I would like to post some pictures here, from Beijing, but I don't know how to do it right now. Could you please help me? I would like to share my pictures from China with other people....

Hello, Uldis
Great o hear from you! The local Chinese people are trying hard to adapt to the changes themselves. The summer can be very hot in many areas. If you will go there someday, be sure to visit there in Spring or Fall. Let me know if you need my interpretation service.
Kevin
