Thanksgiving



It is not only a time for our family to get together and have a big meal, a time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie,  a time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons. It is also a time of thanks. Happy Thanksgiving. May god bless you every day.

A feast in Thanksgiving

We are looking for happiness in the journey of life. The scenery on the way really touches our heart. Open your arms to embrace life and pursue your dreams, you will find it is so exciting that you are the richest man in the world. When trying to grow it's easy to stumble more than once and scratch your knees on your way to success, happiness, expansion of consciousness and all that good stuff. Then the power of love and help cheers you up, thus you may be hurt but never defeated.  Life is to be grateful, not only today.

First of all, I want to thank my parents, who bring me to the wonderful world. Since a baby time, you give us a selfless love and care but never expect anything from us.  Father's love is like a mountain, and mother's love is like water. Let us bear in mind owe their parents, parenting Thanksgiving. Road, wind and rain of life, so Thanksgiving with you and I peer!

Love of parents

I want to thank my friends, the most beautiful scenery in my life. Every day, we share our happiness and sadness. We learn from each other and help each other. It is you that drive away the loneliness and empty on the way of growing. It is you that bring an endless pleasure to life. Thank you, my friends.

Happieness from friends

I want to thank my teachers, the engineer of human soul. In my eyes, you are the eternal candles burning forever with the fire of life, always full of vigor and vitality. In class, you give us knowledge and broaden our horizon for the world. After class you are a friend of your students, speaking and laughing with us. Let’s be grateful to our respectable teachers.

Teacher with her students

I want to thank the strangers, who make up the colorful world. Do you remember the cleaner in the street at dusk? Do you see the driver waving his hand in the taxi? Or do you know the gatekeeper with a cigarette in his mouth downstairs…  Everyone in his own position is making his contribution to society. Let’s thank all the diligent people.

I also want to thank God, who has created a fantastic world. What could possibly be more beautiful than the ability to experience and comprehend beauty of the world? I want to thank Bible, which makes humans more kind and friendly. I want to thank movies, which help us understand the world. I want to thank science, which promote the revolution of the society…

Thanks to the most lovely people!

On this special holiday, what makes you grateful, my friends?

Life in America

This is my first time to America. Not only the study experience but also a different life here leaves a deep impression in my mind. These pictures are taken from my daily life. I'd like to share something about them with you.


1.Lunch

This is the lunch made by myself on Monday. As I take Service Learning class in the afternoon, I have to eat the food as fast as possible. A bow of noodles is quite easy and convenient. Besides it is delicious. 2.Desk

The light in my room is very poor, so I put a lamp on my desk. Every day, I sit on the chair, doing my homework and surfing the Internet. When I am a little hungry, I will have some snacks by the hands. Now I am a little fatter than before. Maybe I need to consider going out to take some exercise. 

3.Favorite piece of clothes

I like the white T-shirt very much. The picture on the shirt is about Sagittarius一Fight For Athena. Although I don't believe in horoscope, I think the Arcane Archer with wings is very cool. That is what attracts me.
4.Shoes

I bought the shoes in a small store near my university in China. I seldom wear sneakers because they can make my feet hot. I like the ordinary but comfortable mesh shoes. What's more, the gray color makes it easier for me to wash the shoes. So I bring the shoes here. 
5.Roommate

You must know who this sexy guy is. The cook is now making supper in the kitchen. He is really good at cooking, especially traditional Chinese food. So if you want to have a Chinese feast next time, make an appointment with him.  6.Write on a piece of paper

The paper full of words is a note about my bio-math test. To prepare for the test, I spent almost three hours on these biological terms. However, I still couldn't remember the definitions clearly. Luckily I passed the test in the end. I am tired of these difficult terms, but I have no choice.
7.tree

The golden tree is on the way to the language institute. Every morning, we will pass by it when we get off the shuttle. In the late fall, there are still many leaves in the tree. The blue sky makes me free while the golden one drives me to a beautiful dream.
8.An object in your hand

This is Nexus7, the new tablet of Google. It is said to have the latest system Android4.1. I bought the electronic product on line together with another three classmates here. Sometimes I use it to read some ebooks and play some small games.

In a word, life in Atlanta is exciting. Although it is only a short time, I can learn a lot. The unusual experience is memoriable, not only the amazing things, but also friendly people around us. So do you have some unforgetable experiences here, my friends?

Love movies, love science.

What makes a good movie?  A beautiful love story, a sense of humor, or a clever plot twists? These are necessary but far from enough. As a good movie, it should teach us something about life and help us understand the complex world. It can be a good description of life, but at least bring a slight touch to your soul.
Different from movies, science is a magical power that has already changes daily life. With the help of science and technology, many impossible things in the past are quite possible now. The history of human beings' revolution is the development of science.If a movie is art of life, then science is the designer of life.
The photos below are about some good movies and important science.

Forrest Gump

"Life was like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're goona get" Many people had been totally struck by this simple but wise sentence, whose correctness had been proved by Forrest with his entire lifetime. When people were all but going to be defeated by life, it will inspire them and give then courage to move on. "You got to put the past behind you before you can move on."

SHAW SHANK

Everyone is his own god. Don't forget that there are places in the world that are not made up of stone, there is something inside that they can not get to, that is hope. Fear can hold you prisoner, hope can set you free. A strong man can save himself, a great man can save another.
                                             

                                                        You Are the Apple of My Eye
Youth is like a heavy rain, although we have caught a cold, we still want to try it again. Youth is like the vast sea, we are fish in the sea, through the free wandering of youth, laughter and tears are submerged in the ocean. The resultless love, that was ever blooming and brilliant at least , must be worth your lifetime to commemorate. 

                                                                     nanotechnology
Nanotechnology entails the application of fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, microfabrication, etc. With a variety of potential applications, nanotechnology is a key technology for the future.

                                                                 Space Technology

The space used to be a mystery for human beings, but now we are get closed to it. Space technology is technology that is related to entering, and retrieving objects or life forms from space."Every day" technologies such as weather forecasting, remote sensing, GPS systems, satellite television, and some long distance communications systems critically rely on space infrastructure.

                                                              An cartoon representation of "the cloud"    

Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network. The provider offer their services according three fundamental models: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) where IaaS is the most basic and each higher model abstracts from the details of the lower models.

genet big rooster

Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of anorganism's genome using biotechnology. It can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and micro organism.One of the best-known and controversial applications of genetic engineering is the creation and use of genetically modified organisms, such as genetically modified fish.

I am a movie fan, also a science lover. A good movie makes me fresh and relaxed, while thinking about life. And the power of science brings confidence to me for the future. By the way, which movie do you like best? Which area of science is your intersest? I hope you can share your feelings with me.

My Litany

                 You are the wave and the sea,
                 the free kite and the breeze.
                 You are the lotus on the snow mountain
                 and the new branches of the tree.
                 You are the round compass of the ship
                 and the bright lightning suddenly at night.


                 

                 the beautiful lotus on the snow mountain

                 However, you are not the leaf in the wind,
                 the fish on the board,
                 or the noise of thunder.
                 And you are certainly not the calm harbor.
                 There is just no way you are the calm harbor.

                 It is possible that you are the oasis in the dessert,
                 maybe even the dim candle in the darkness,
                 but you are not even close
                 to being the seed in the corner of a stone.



                 

                  Life in the corner of the stone

                 And a quick look in the mirror will show
                 that you are neither the cat under the table,
                 nor the imposing lion on the prairie.

                 It might interest you to know,
                 speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
                 that I am the fresh air in the morning.

                 I also happen to be the singing bird,
                 the dancing bee flying over a flower,
                 and the staff book on the piano.

                 

               a beautiful piano piece

                 I am also the sunshine in the forest,
                 and the sunny boy's blue jeans.
                 But don't worry, I am not the wave and the sea.
                 You are still the wave and the sea.
                 You will always be the wave and the sea,
                 not to mention the free kite and —somehow—the breeze.

THIS I BELIEVE

Science and technology——this I believe can promote the progress of human civilization. Some people may doult that the development of science and technology will bring some negative effects to society, like pollution, biological weapons and genetically altered food. However it has much more positive effects.
I believe in science and technology, which is the results of experience and analysis. We humans are small in front of nature, but with science and technology we can do almost any thing. Before the age of the steam engine, we can't imagine the high efficient transportation. Without the invent of lights, we will still suffer the darkness at night. Many years ago, the story of Chang E was a dream for human beings. But now we have set our feet on the moon because of the success of manned spacecraft engineering. With the progress of medical research, we have overcome a lot of diseases which were incurable before, and  the average life of human have kept on increasing during the past several decades…


the success of manned spacecraft engineering helps us get closed to the mystery space

 It is an IT age today. Computer has already changed our life. The application of computer science can be found in every area. With the help of computer, we can deal with a great deal of datas, like the ticket system of an airport or a train station. The special software desined for a company like Database Management System can improve operational efficiency greatly. Besides we can do a lot of dangerous work and research due to the application of artificial intelligence.
Thanks to science and technology. We have improved our daily life: communication is more convenient ; travelling is much faster; shopping is much easier… Although it does bring some negative effects at the same time, it is still the only power that makes progress to society. As long as we abandon the negative effects, our future is bright. I am now curious and excited about the unimaginable changes of human beings by science and technology. What about you?  

Blog for a colorful life

Life is always colorful. Every day, time is not only for work, but also for entertainment and relaxation. I like science, films and interesting experiences which I will share with you in my blogs. The following blogs from the Internet searched by Google are some samples about the theme of my blogs:
1.a < b < c
This blog gives us an example of the difference between C and C++. To discern the actual differences between the languages, we should read the language specifications. This is a proffessional blog about computer languages. People who read the blog should have some knowledge about C and C++. 
2.Defensible software
This blog is also about computer science. It tells us that you need to understand software better than the people who commissioned it: the presumed errors may stem from unforeseen consequences of the specification.  This can be personal idears or suggestion for a designer.
3.Painted Skin 2: The Resurrection
It is said that a demon becomes moral when a human gives up his/her heart willingly. It is a traditional Chinese love story and truly depicts how love can make people completely blind, which would eventually lead to hatred and envyThis blog is about the writer's feelings and thoughts after watching the movie.And the pictures from the movie in this blog are attractive and encourage readers to watch it.

This is the prince in Painted Skin. 

4.Dragon Baby

This is a simple entry which consists of a video. It is an introduction of a funny film. In the film, you can see the baby is fighting against a monster. The lovely baby can be a kungfu star like Bruce Lee someday, don't you think so?This kind of blog doesn't have much content but can be interesting for readers.


The dragon baby is fighting with the monster.

5.Going bananas in La Selva
La Selva is one of the biggest and most renowned centers for tropical research in the world, and there is a ton of biodiversity. The blog is about a trip to  La Selva. It also shows us some pictures about creatures there. The writer enjoys the unusual experience very much. For me, getting close to nature is also an exciting experience. 
These blogs are some kind of model for me. From these entries above, I think to write a good blog, we should care about our five senses. The words in the blog don't need to be complex, just easy to understand is enough. The blog sometimes can be very long, but it can also be only a few sentences. To make a blog attractive, we can add some links, pictures and videos related to our topic. Besides, which blog do you like ?If you like anyone of them, please let me know. I am always here with you.

Hi, I'm coming！

     Hello, everyone. I am glad to lauch my first blog. In the following writings, I'd like to share something about films, science and my personal experience in life with you.
     Life is like coffee, the way to sucess is a little bitter, full of tears and sweat, but the fresh and sweet flavor will come out if you add something. I am very lucky because I have so many friends and classmates. We come and struggle together for our dreams. No pains, no gains. To be a useful man in society, we devote ourselves to work and study, a little boring but worth it. These blogs will be the records of my growth, both happiness and sadness. Besides, as a movie fan, I will introduce some good films to you, such as Painted Skins, Seven Swords and  Let The Bullets Fly. If you are a science lover, we can also talk about some latest news about science and technology. Life is wonderful after all, don't you think so?

      Take computer science for example. Nowadays, cloud becomes a fashionable word, for example cloud storage in Google. However, what does cloud means here?  The cloud is a metaphor for the Internet which means it is an abstraction hiding the complex infrastructure of the internet. All these concepts about cloud come from cloud computing. In the case of electricity, users can simply use it. They do not need to worry where the electricity is from, how it is generated, or transported. At the end of the month, they will get a bill for the amount of electricity they consumed.The idea behind cloud computing is similar: The user can simply use storage, computing power, or specially crafted development environments, without having to worry how these work internally.As the data becomes so large in the age of technology, the application of cloud computing will be the key to solve the problems and certainly lead to great changes in our daily life.
       Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. That's right. Not all of us can be a man like Bill Gates, but at least we can be ourselves. Life is coffee, you can add any condiments you like. For me, the condiments are something like films and science, which make my life more colorful.What about you? I am here with you, and best wishes!
