明朝东林党人顾宪成的名联:“风声雨声读书声，声声入耳；家事国事天下事,事事关心。” 顾宪成先生站在一个古代士大夫的角度，对自己的角色体认。在中国封建社会，古人是“学而优则仕”。做官是读书人最好的归宿。因为在古代重农抑商的社会，商人的社会价值一直处于被打压的状态，不被主流社会价值所承认。所以，更多的精英被纳入了仕阶层，为统治者服务。这也是中国封建社会很难向以商业为核心的资本主义转型的重要原因。从人力资源角度，更多人力资源被配置到维护旧的封建社会制度上去了。而在同时代的西方社会，由于封建制度的弱势，导致传统的压力很小，转型的压力也很小。所以，西方的资本主义发展程度比东方社会要来得更快。但是，发达的资本主义社会，对于作为未来社会形态的资本主义社会，发达的资本主义社会也将成为重负。所以，作为自封为信奉正统马克思主义的社会主义中国，强大起来也就不会奇怪了。回来目前的中国社会，传统的“学而优则仕”模式正在被现代化的强大冲击波所打破。随着以市场化改革为方向的经济体制改革以后，通过市场的力量来配置社会的资源来代替公共权力配置。以前完全由公共权力垄断的资源正在逐渐的解体，市场通过无形的手把资源配置到以利益为驱动的商业中去。通过市场机制把人性引向利益中去，充分利用人性对利益需求的巨大潜力，来创造更多的社会财富，推动社会的进步。现代的知识分子对国家和社会的体认，也正在受到以利益为驱动的商业社会价值所冲击和弱化。因为由于中国的教育体制，由精英教育向平民教育的转轨中，遭遇了失败。虽然接受教育的人群越来越大了，但是，还是以传统的教育模式思维去培养学生，此种制度培养出的学生无法具备当代社会对人才的需求，导致当代接受过高等教育的受教育者产生巨大的心理落差，一句很生动的话形象的说明这该问题“毕业即失业”。连基本的生存问题都没有解决，何从谈起“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”的鸿鹄之志。此过程来得太快，此种执政者的决策失误只能有广大的人民来承担其后果，所以，在这里呼吁统治者减少重大决策失误，来减少给人民带来更大的灾难。

    前几天，温度升得很高，感觉冬天已悄悄地离我们远去，未曾想到倒春寒，于是心里感觉愉快得很。因为又可以踏春去了，玉渊潭的樱花节让我很是期待。常常听说武汉大学校园里边也有类似的所谓“樱花节”，只可惜未曾光临过。记得04年光临武汉的时候，与之擦边而过。今天和朋友聊天的时候，据说有个女子由于身穿日本和服在武大樱花节出现，被带有很浓厚的狭隘民族主义情绪的国人赶出去了，听了以后，感觉很是无语。这就让我更加偏爱玉渊潭的樱花。玉渊潭是北京公园比较有特色的代表，所以，每当春天来临的时候，总免不了要去光临公园的。对于北平春的爱慕并不能取代对故乡春色的思恋，有好些年头没有在家乡享受春色了，常常是梦回故乡，回到童年那些美好的与春为伴的美好岁月，希望永沉浸在童年这些美好的梦里。回到现实，所谓“年年岁岁花相似，岁岁年年人不同”，那些春色，无论是北平，还是故乡，还是没有什么变化的，变化的只是人，少了一分童稚，多了一分成熟。童年的伙伴们已长大成人，我也漂泊在异乡，在为生活打拼。尽管生活的压力常常把人们的童心抹去，但是我还是不愿意放下那颗稚嫩的童心，因为这颗童心承载着我对生活的热爱，让我不断把生活中的美挖掘出来，正如法国著名的雕塑大师罗丹说过：“生活中不是没有美，那是因为缺少发现美的眼睛”。是的，生活中大多数人，随着年龄的成长，那颗童心也随着时间的流逝，被无情的带走了，留下得只是灰色的生活。呼唤着人类对于自然的那颗童心能够重新回归，人类因此而重新变得快乐起来的。。。。

     这是09年初雪持续的第三天，心理很是愉悦。抛开所有尘世的烦恼，尽情的享受着这自然恩赐所带来的惊喜，再加这上美妙的music《春江花月夜》，感觉如此之妙，快哉！

    早上还是和往常一样起床，心里惦记的第一件事就是看窗外的雪是否还在继续，可能是雪花飘得太小，乍一看去，还不能分辨。于是我打开窗户，用手去感觉，去触摸它。当感觉雪还在继续的飘落的瞬间，感觉体内的热血在沸腾，再一次要感谢上苍的恩德。留在心灵深处对于雪的记忆是儿时在南方故乡。那时候，自然还能按照它应有的规律运转，人们还很纯朴，尽管经济没有现在那么好，但是一切自然的事物来得很自然。家乡的位置不是绝对的南方，所以偶尔也有福建、广东那边的人们触摸不到的雪的光临。那些场景，每当重读鲁迅先生的《故乡》，这些场景会历历在目。那些童趣，虽然随着时光的消逝也不再，留下得这是留在心灵深处的美好的记忆。故乡的雪没有北方的雪那么干燥，北方的雪如白面一样。刚来北平的时候，甚是惊诧。故乡的雪和棉花糖一样，踏上去，发出“咔嚓”的响声，那声音很是悦耳。每当下雪的时候，我们都会扫出一块空地，撒些谷米之类的诱饵，然后用树枝支起一个箩筐，系着绳子，在远处看着，等着鸟雀来啄食，等它们走到中央的时候，一拉绳索，就把它们罩在箩筐里面，每次都能捕捉到好多鸟雀，然后把它们养起来，很是快乐。听大人说，雪停了，可以去捕捉野兔。因为野兔移动的痕迹都会印在雪的表面上，围着这些痕迹，就可以找到野兔窝藏的地点，将其捕获。不过，很少试过，因为野兔是很狡猾，速度很快，很难将其抓获。对，儿时下雪的还有一个乐趣就是堆雪人。每当下大雪的时候，几个伙伴就带着工具开始堆起雪人（Snowman)了,根据自己的想象，把雪人打扮得很美。希望它能够一直活下去。那时候，最害怕的是雪停了，太阳出来了，我们可爱的雪人就要被融化了，离我们而去，依依不舍，有时甚至留下伤心的眼泪。这可能就是童趣的快乐。很庆幸，北平的这场雪把我儿时那些对雪的美好的记忆都勾起来了，重温那些美好岁月....

    看着人们在陆陆续续的扫雪，他们扫得是道路上的积雪。而自然的银装依然保存得很完整，没有人愿意去破坏它们。看着那些参天古松，在风雪中傲视群树，不由得为它们的精神所感动。不禁想起了一首咏松的师：大雪压青松，青松挺且直；要知松高洁，待到雪化时。所以，我一直把青松作为自己的左右铭，激励着自己不断向前进.新的一年，希望世界各地的民众能以轻青松傲寒的精神，带着新雪能给我们带来的hope and luck，携手度过这全球经济的寒冬。

今儿早晨一睁眼，窗外的雪花还在飘。很庆幸，昨天那场雪还在继续。2009年的初学来得是这么随人意。昨儿我还特意找出红楼梦里那段，怡红公子踏雪寻梅的故事，真的很美。“酒未开樽句未裁，寻春问腊到蓬莱。”“不求大士瓶中露，为乞嫦娥槛外梅。”“入世冷挑红雪去，离尘香隔紫云来。”“槎崖谁惜诗肩瘦，衣上犹沾佛院苔。”场景真的很美，妙玉自然是我喜欢的人物造型。《红楼梦》这段真是一种很高的意境，犹如陶渊明的“采菊东篱下，悠悠见南山”。

 早上，匆匆吃完早餐，就去与初雪做亲密接触去了。我真的想说“久别了，雪！我很思恋你们！（I miss you so much!)”徜徉在雪中，尽情得享受着雪所带来的喜悦。How enjoyable!唯一遗憾的是，缺席了那衬雪的红梅，因为花期已过不再有。不过，还是要感谢上天恩赐。连北平附近的天津都没有下雪，这就是北平作为京城的特殊待遇，这待遇让我赶上了，窃喜！所以，拿起尘封已久的笔，记载下此时的感受。上天成全了我，降了皑皑白雪，此时寻找的正是心中那簇红梅。。。

“你要想找一帅哥就别来了，你要想找一钱包就别见了。硕士学历以上的免谈，女企业家免谈(小商小贩除外)，省得咱们互相都会失望。刘德华和阿汤哥那种才貌双全的郎君是不会来征你的婚的，当然我也没做诺丁山的梦。您要真是一仙女我也接不住，没期待您长得跟画报封面一样看一眼就魂飞魄散。外表时尚，内心保守，身心都健康的一般人就行。要是多少还有点婉约那就更靠谱了。我喜欢会叠衣服的女人，每次洗完烫平叠得都像刚从商店里买回来的一样。说得够具体了吧。自我介绍一下，我岁数已经不小了，农村身份出去的，在农村生活过十几年，没正经上过学，蹉跎中练就一身生存技能，现在学无所成外地归来，实话实说，应该定性为一只没有公司、没有股票、没有学位的.还无钱，无房，无车。无老婆无孩子，无长相，无身高有一身债的“十无一有”人员。乾隆是十全老人，我就是十不全光棍。性格OPEN，人品五五开，不算老实，但天生胆小，杀人不犯法我也下不去手，总体而言属于对人群对社会有益无害的一类。”

在迎接新年的时候的情感很复杂：盼望，迷惘，期待.....总之，怀着这样的情感迎来了2009.不过，内心对新年的期待还是占主导地位的。旧的不去，新的不来。希望所有朋友能够忘掉08年的unhappiness,以一种全新的心态迎接2009。在2009年，有新的愿景。

               Happy New Year！

How time flies! This term will come to an end. To be honest, when you grow up, you will sense that how fast the clock of life goes! Fortunately, it is equal for us to be in front of time. Now that Professor Derek Qin, who is my English teacher, assigned us to write own self-evaluation report as the homework, it is my pleasure to do it. I will reserve my opinion regarding those self-evaluation indexes set by Qin with Chinese-style eight-part essay. Those evaluation indexes will sacrifice the individualize study method. If you attend each class and do as his instruction methods regulate, you will get a better score finally. However, as an undergraduate, if you put the score as your top priority, it is sad not only for individual but also for the Chinese higher education system. You shined by ring of light of top score can’t cover up that you are the victim of the whole unsuccessful higher education system.

Firstly, let me talk about how much I devote my time and energy to my English study. It is four years since I graduated from my university, but I never terminate my English study. I have being trying my best to practice English as second mother tongue and feel free to use it and maximize its tool benefits. During my working periods, English used to be my semi-working language and benefited you so much. Moreover, I used to assume the position as translator in the company. At that time, my direct leader is from Singapore and it provided for me a platform to practice my English. Later, in spite of leaving that company, I still keep the good habit of English study. I can get some information that can’t be received in China with the help of English newspaper. To be honest, i feel no necessary to attend each class so bored that phenomena that a group of Chinese students studied English under the leading of a Chinese teacher. Maybe the Chinese teacher tried his best to instruct his students in scientific teaching methods. However, it is the still Chinese-style English by the end of teaching. In my experience, it is no practical use for me. So I prefer to choose to stay in my dormitory or library for my English study such as listening to some native English programs such as CNN radio, ESPN radio and watching native English TV and films such as Discovery Channel and some English newspapers and magazines such as NY times, Economist magazine and so on., so I feel satisfied with the time and energy spent on my English study. As to copy or plagiarize others’ homework, it never happened to me. I am worried that my English level will be downgraded due to copying others’ homework. This is my confidence for English in this class. In order to finish my homework better, I am ready to talk or debate with others. However, their English skills whatever on width or depth never pleased me and led to be unable to gain a desired result and I turned to help from other means such as look up references to better my homework.

Secondly, let me talk about the attitude towards English. Nobody can question about my attitude towards English. Absence from some classes can’t get a conclusion to retort my attitude. In the beginning, it was unavoidable for me to complain too much homework. I used to study my English in own habit. And I finished and then handed in all English homework except to miss one times due to be busy with other professional examination. I wrote some English blogs and mails to discuss some issues based on my personal interest. If you finish the homework, I am sure to have the feeling of proud and achievement especial the feeling will get stronger when reread my lyric prose. According to my view, the essence of English study is aim to use it in your daily life

Thirdly, talk about the English study method. This issue has being haunting Chinese English-learners and they have kept working hard to solve it as some English training institutions whose intent to dig out the great business opportunity behind it. It makes people heart-broken when the so-called dumb English becomes the final result of Chinese English-learners. In spite of poor pronunciation on English, English is the official language in India and nobody criticize their English as so-called dump English. Maybe it is one of precious heritages including democratic systems left by British colonist. Of course, it doesn’t mean to beautify the British colonial rule in India just show a fact. Hongkong is no exception as well as Singapore, both them benefits from their locations that join between eastern culture and western culture. The aim for Chinese English-learners is to learn English better. Something wrong with the aim leads to some problems. No necessary for us to enhance English as the official language status. But it is a must for the whole education system to fix English as general language. For the present English teaching model, it should be abolished as independent class but to teach all the courses in English. Only so, the English teaching purpose can be reached. If Chinese university wants to be ranked to be top university in the world, it is a must to make this step.

Finally, make a score for self concerning the attendance rate, performance in class, homework assignment finishing result, ideology and moral character etc. with clear conscience and then make a favorite or ideal score for self regarding the real factors such as scholarship, GPA etc with guilty conscience. 

Notes: the total score is 100 point and adapt the four evaluation indexes to make a score for self and each of four is 25 point respectively. The result table is as following:

Dear each bloggers,
