Finally I Can Go to Peking

Ohahaha, today I have a exciting news: I can go to Beijing for a five-day trip. Honestly, I have been dreaming of a trip to Beijing for a long time. The sights, the history and so on really attract me a lot, I really wanna pay a deep visit of the Forbidden City. Also, because I am a Chinese, I should go to the capital city of my own. Any way, ich freue mich darauf, dass ich endlich nach Beijing fahren kann.

My Own Egyptian Forum

It was my dream; to build up a forum about ancient Egypt. Since I was a senior school student, I was dreaming of a forum, there I can share my interests with different firends. But I also found that, most of the dominions need money, I have no money, so my plan was delaied. Instead I joined almost every forum about Egypt, however I felt that those are not satisfactory, I always wanna my own. Tow days ago, I had a rush of building up this forum I desired, and I found a website which offers free space for forum, now I have my own forum, and it is under construction. But I know that being a excellent forum is very hard, especailly being a outstanding ancient Egyptian forum.

Cambodian Trip, Part 3

During the second day in Cambodia, the visit of a tomb really impressed me very much. It is not exactly a tomb in the normal sense, but it is more likely to be called as a monument which is filled with skulls from uncountable victims in the past history. In cambodian history, there was once a group of communists who controlled the destiny of Cambodia, like the Cultural Revolution in China during the 1970s(Maybe), those communists persecuted a great muber of people, mainly scholars and people who have been educated. The place I visited is actually execution ground in the past, my guide told me that there were so many people were killed that later the government built a monument only for storing the skulls of those victims. Thhis was my first time to see so many skulls in front of me, so lifeless, so pale and so horrible. My heart was trembling all the time. This is really a place of the dead, the entire ground was covered by the atmosphere of death.
Walking around the monument, I could easily find the bones from the dead, I tried to avoid stepping on those bones, I was afraid to disturp those people, really I was afraid. Alone that rpad, I found that a pile of bones were collected by people, putting them into a small house made of wood, serving as a tomb, I guess.
I think human beings are the most brutal creatures on earth. There is no need to compare. People can simply kill their fellows just because of different opinions, different perspectives, differnet religions.
Yesterday I met a boy on the plane, who is studying in Yale. He too have no good feeling about religion, especailly Christianity. Those so called believers took the name of defence of religion, in fact they just wanted their own profitable interests. Those cambodian communists were the same.

HKSAR 10th Anniversary


10 years, can u believe that? When I was a little girl, Hong Kong for me was a far, far away place. There people are different from me, a girl lives in China. Maybe it is my fate, or the bliss of Amun-Re, I come to Hong Kong and live here.

This time, there will be a great celebration for the anniversary.

For more info, please here:HKSAR 10th Anniversary
I have pick out many activities which I interested in, ohahaha

I can recite a letter from German Consulate:.............regarding your situation, the processing time for you will thus be three working days only. Today is the forth day, the forth working day since my submit my application. I wait, wait and wait.This is all I can do. Since last December, I received my first schorship by DAAD, my history of waiting began. Honestly, I do have regret, this schorship troubled and continues to trouble me so greatly.
I have asked the German Consulate 4 times, when I can get my visa, they were repeatly telling me, we will call u. That's it.
Now I have a lesson from this experience, DO NOT TRUST ANY AUTHORITIES!

.........

.......................................................................I do not know anything..............................................I have no reply from German Consulate...................................I have no reply from Freie Uni Berlin.......................I have no idea when I can receive my Visa..............................I do not know wether I can go home this week.........................I do noe know wether or not their promise is true..........................I do not know wether Tarot is acurate.........................I do not know wether or not I can go to Beijing.......................I do not know when my emotion can trun better.........................so far, I know nothing.
I really wanna cry, but cry will not help me.........................................

Don't Trouble Trouble,till Trouble Troubles U

When I was an English beginner, I learnt an idom in English. It goes:Don't Trouble Trouble,till Trouble Troubles U. At that time, I do not really understant the meaning of this sentence, but now I do.
Since the success of the scholorship of a German language course, great number of troubles have said Hallo to me, with their terrible smiles. This winning should be a happy thing for me, I used to think. Now I rather give up the so called schlorship. Did I trouble this big trouble-schorship, so those troubles trouble me?
Without this schorship, I should be now at home, reading and planning a trip to Beijing and Xian, I should without any burdens, and worries. Or maybe I will go to Mexico for a month. Now, everything is gone, I am here, in the computer room in my Uni, waiting for the Visa into Germany, and what's more, I even do not know when they will sign my application. I spent even more money than this Godamnd schorship I know I can not wait here long, I have to go back to main land. This is my first time I hate China, the inability of China is unsurpassable. Citizen has to apply visa wherever he or she wants go, but HK citizen need not, why!!!
I also worry about my arrival in Germany, although they told me why to reach Uni and hotel, the problem is that I will have a test on the ist day of arrival from 10.00-18.00, but my plane arrive in Germany on 22.00, it is really a big joke!! I wanna cry, but I still do not know the result, any result.
My mother tole me that this maybe a good experience for me, but experiencing such a case is really painful and helpless.

Harvests I got

Great day, three great harvests I got today. I finished reading the book called: Chronicle of the Queens of Egypt.
Here is my review of this book, and posted in Douban:
Seldom has a book introduced the queens in Ancient Egypt, but this book did, and did quite well. Most of people who interested in Pharaohs, because they are more visible and prominent in the development of Egyptian history, but infact, the term of Kingship in ancient Egypt contains the term of Queenship, in another words, queens are vital for the living of Kingship. A Pharaoh can not rule without a queen. Although from the very early time of ancient Egypt to the end of its Pharaonic history, queens are always overshadowed by their husbands, history leaves us quite a amount of info about queens in ancient Egypt, thanks to those, Egyptologists can reconstruct their roles and changes in the history.
This book begins explaining the role of women of ancient Egypt. Indeed, no matter how high the position of queen is, she is at first a women, a wife of a special man and phehaps mother of the royal child. From the myth of Isis and Osiris, queens have already been assigned of a role which is very complex and difficult. Like Isis, the faithful wife of Osris, the consort must firstly perform a role of supportive wife. If possible, she have also perform the mother of the next king. Then she will be assigned the role of the consort, in charge of harem. When the king is in battle, she have to carry the burden of kingly office, running the country, avoiding the chaos.
After the explanation, it lists nearly most of the queens in the history and gives detailed or general introductions. Easliy we can see the clear development of queenship from beginning of dynasty to the end. Great names leaves deep impressions on me, like Sobekneferu, Tiy, Nefertiti, Ahmose-Nefertari, Nefetari, Hatshepusut and so on.

It is a very enjoyable process of reading this book. I felt that nearly every introduced herself to me, her husband, her children, her role. Anyway, great book.
The second harvest is that I received a munber of Hidu and Arabian musics, and I love them so much. Thank You, Amun-Re!

the King and I

Anna and the King is one of my favourite movies. I like it because it is exotic and romatic. The love affaire between a commer and a King is attractive, besides it happens in a land with very unique culture and tradition.
I used to think that this story must be a pure fiction, but since the book I have read yesterday, I knew that it was true.
Once there was a young lady, whose husband was dead of war, was invited by a King in Tailand to be his children's teacher. She was called also Anna. She took his son with her and did go to Tailand.Thsi was brave action for a woman in 18th century(Maybe, I can't remember the time). Anna was special, because she was absorbed by all those foreign sight, so significant, so beyong the expression. She liked exploration very much, she once went to the Great Temple of Angkor Wat, and was completely conquered by the magnificant beauty of the temple. She thought the temple was the heaven on earth. Indeed I think so too, hehe. She went to the court of this Tailand King and spent there maybe several mounths or years, I do not know. And I also don't know whether they had love between them. Maybe the love is fiction. During the stay, Anna wrote a book called : The King and I, recording the events there. What she experienced, what she saw in the palace, waht she heard...
Just now I was searching some films to kill time, all of a sudden a name jumped into my eyes: The King and I. Waha, there is a film about this story even before the film Anna and the King. I immediately began to download it. Hahaha:>
By the way the book I read is called:東南亞:重新找回的歷史。

歷史的選擇



不知道是麽時候開始對日本的歷史開始感興趣,我的書架就開始推上了有關日本歷史的書籍。我想大概是因爲從小喜歡看漫畫的緣故,而其中最喜歡歷史類的漫畫,最喜歡的就是戰國時代,以及幕府時期的日本,還有就是幕末時期:這就要感謝劍心了,哈哈。到目前爲止,劍心依舊是我在漫畫裏最愛的男人。
這次回到傢,就開始了我的閲讀工程,我看着滿櫃子的書用怨恨的眼神看着我。誰讓我買書如山到,看書如抽絲阿,這也是沒有辦法的,也是殘酷的。選了一本《幕府大將軍〉。這本書是我書櫃裏面最後一本沒有看的有關日本的書了。花了兩天時間,終于完成了。
實話說,這本書並不是作者所著寫的,而是編輯的,裏面有很多引用,但是卻沒有註明從哪裏引用,這對於原作者來説是很不尊敬的行爲。Anyway這本書倒是很好看具體來説這是一本得川傢康的傳記:從他被當作人質開始直到登上日本權利最高峰結束。這其中穿插了衆多歷史人物比如織田信長,丰臣秀吉等等人物。同時這本書對於幕府建立前後各種權利的爭鬥以及戰爭描寫都做到了詳盡。一口氣讀完,頗爲酣暢。
其中對我映像最深的就是德川傢康的亂世生存哲學,一個字:忍。而且他的忍是充滿的智慧的忍到。德川傢康自己總結的人生哲學時,他說到:人的一生有如負重致遠,不可急躁。以不自由為常事,則不覺不足。心生欲望時,應回顧貧困之日。心懷寬恕,視怒如敵,則能無事長久。只知勝而不知敗,必害其身。責人不知責己。不及勝于過之。正因爲他的人生經歷但定了他的處世之道,也正因爲多虧了他的哲學使得他最終成爲贏家。但是要知道想要貫徹這種哲學的代價是很高的,德川也是殺妻棄子,代價慘重啊,可是爲了顧全大局,又有什麽辦法呢?
相對于傢康來説,心長久是一個完全相反的人物了。被人們叫做是:第六天魔王的織田信長放蕩不羈,桀驁不馴,藐視權威,殘暴無道但是又具有作爲傑出領導人的資質,確實是一位非常有吸引力的人物。但是歷史卻常常開玩笑,就在信長久快要成功之時,卻被自己的部下燒死在本能寺。衆望所歸的將軍人物就這麽隕落了,不能不説是可惜啊。
這就是歷史的有趣之処,常常給人們帶來意外的驚喜,而後人們又可以不盡想象,如果歷史真的是照著人們的想象而前進,那又會是怎麽樣的呢?
