The highest
building in our uni was finally opened to public and looks
magnificent from outside. Yesterday made the first trip to the
newly-built tower and had the first experience using the self-study
hall in floor six and seven. The hall is specious with a
square approximately twice the area of the old one. This
largest classroom is full of electrical and network access on the
floor, which provide much convenience to the students. What
attracted me most is the furniture. I really prefer those
beautiful and comfortable wood-made tables and chairs. There is not
any decoration, but with a sense of simplicity it seems
uncontaminated and shows elegant taste. What's more, there is some
kind of groove on each chair, which is definitely for
reader's comfort. The atmosphere there is quite fit for reading and
studying. I even daydreamed that if I had another ten years of
learning, I would have spent most of t
It was a super fine
day yesterday and we had a get-together celebrating the mid-autumn
festival in L's house. I had both the lunch
and supper there and enjoyed the family like atomosphere.
If I remembered it right, this was the first mid-autumn that I
spent in someone's home. I felt comfortable with teachers and
fellow members and listened to their talks with interest. Of
course, delicious mooncakes was the necessity and the moon was
magnificently round and extremely bright at night. Everyone has his
or her way to celebrate or spend the festival, with friends or stay
alone. Not everybody like spending time with others. At least I
myself like to be alone sometimes. There is a sentence in Pro.

The new cleaner of main
building is an aunt approximately at 40, high and strong. I've met
her two or three times in the morning. Every time i found her not
so happy and felt her a little stubborn. This morning I said
hi to her and didn't expect she would talk to me for so long time
about her children. i learned from her narration that from a rural
area in Henan she now is a migrant worker who has been
worked at various places, from south to north. She has three
children, a daughter who is the eldest and two sons. Her daughter
did excellent in school and is good at almost every subject, esp.
English. She is expecting to take part in the college entrance exam
next year and longing for the university life. The mother seemed to
be too proud of her daughter to cover her happiness, though she
continued to complain the difficulty of supporting her
children's school fees. While listening to her story, i was

非常引人入胜的一本书，结构得超好，一段科普，一段故事，在个人经历的记述中穿插研究课题的细节，在学术史的叙述中关注人物的个性和命运，衔接得平滑自然，天衣无缝，所以虽然是外行，对分子生物一窍不通，读来也并不感觉困难，除了有些细节，特别是最后讲到蛋白质怎么从细胞膜内到外，内部的内部是外部和基因敲除，需要耐下心来琢磨一番。讲故事的方式明显是日本式的，总感觉带有那么一点推理小说的味道，又让人想起黑泽明。印象深刻的是，书中一再提到的洛克菲勒大学，不是别的，而是里面的研究者，从那位英年早逝、毁誉天壤的野口英世，到让人心生敬意却有点神秘的艾弗里，一代一代的研究者在孜孜不倦地探索生命的奥秘，让人看到学术研究的神圣，同时，书中也描述了研究室里的等级，类同小兵的博士研究生，以及学术前沿竞争的激烈，让人感到这也是一个是非多的领域。DNA双螺旋的发现是书的重点之一，围绕着这一伟大发现，出现了一串人物，演绎出人世的涼薄与悲欢，其中一位事后写了本书，题为what

暑假看的第三本传记，很厚的一本书，封底是“悲欣交集”，北大出的，据说增删六次，于是忍不住拿来翻看。内容是极翔实全面的，文学性还是浓些。大部分材料在别的书中也见到过，不过也有一些还是第一次见。比如说到在日本时，友人来访，未能如约，迟到数时，竟即不见；又如丈母娘借伞，竟即不予，有违常情。这大概就是早年自作小传中说的“幼嗜金石书画之学，长而碌碌无所就。性奇僻，不工媚人，人多恶之。”如实还原本来个性，所谓不虚美，不隐恶，书名取“凡夫”也即此意吧。这些一点不妨碍对他的崇敬。细读了他执教浙一师那段。因为自己求学路上，一头一尾遇到两位老师，我时常觉得都有他的影子，瘦削、少言、认真、温而厉……他教的是副课，并无实用的音乐美术，但他教的很认真，几乎倾其所有精力，待学生又是如父般慈爱，践行着先器识而后文艺，在艺术教育中实现人生的价值，这是一般人能够理解的。但他在西湖出家则出乎常规思维之外，看了丰子恺的三层楼说，也只能借此想象，因为那种境界实在离凡夫有点远。索性做了和尚，也要做得彻底，做得认真，于是开始是净土，后来选定了南山律，一丝不苟，彻头彻尾。修行所至的境
Reading through this
autobiography of Kaifu Lee, I found that I was reading a dramatic
novel full of adventures and up and downs. I have to admit it’s a
well-written book, of which I cannot skip any part. Lee’s genius
plus his diligence made his excellency as a researcher, a manager
as well as a teacher for the youth in China. His life experiences
are a great stimulus and model for young people.
What impressed me most is his
study experience in Carnegie-Mellon Uni. Since he proposed a new
thesis topic, the approach of which departured from his advisor's,
yet his Ph.D. advisor said to him, “I don't agree with you, but
I'll support you”. Lee regarded this as an encouragement of
critical thinking and an empowering style of leadership, which he
himself always adopted in his later career life and which he said
has become part of himself.

It’s an autobiography of renowned
Buddhist master Sheng Yan. Reading through the book, I found no
miracle but felt spirit of a strong-willed and diligent yet still
humble man.The impression I got from the honest narration of the
author is a common man struggling against fate and devoting himself
to his belief. In his youth, Sheng Yan witnessed war and poverty
and saw the death happening around him. He had to be a monk for his
poor health and lack of money rather than spiritual exploration at
first. But he was much more serious about Buddihist practice than
most of the monks at his time. Even in his ten years of military
life, he never give up his faith. Once there was a chance, he
returned back along the spiritual path.
What he did as a monk was no
great thing but fetch and carry tasks. However, he did the odds and
ends devotedly requiring for nothing. Starting from such a humble
status, he strived for better ed
On the journey back home, carried
a book on 梁漱溟. Remembering the many things that I have gone
through, I respect the obstinate old man more than before. The free
but lonely thinking ran through his whole life time, which is as
long as a century. As an independent and sincere thinker, one
should bear the loneliness and the pressure from the secular world
and always act accord to his thought and speak the truth rather
than lie.
Met an independent financial
researcher surnamed by Luo on the train by chance and heard many
remarkable comments on the various issues, from the history to
geography and from the economy to politics. I really astonished by
his broad knowledge and eloquence. According to him, a book of him
named In Defence of Money will be published soon and he also has a
great plan of writing a book named On Socialism counterpart with
Marx’s monumental work On Capital. Passengers around him may take

Yesterday had the seminar on the thesis. Felt
not so certain, woke at 4:30, and revised the ppt once
again.Fortunately, made a not-so-bad presentation and recognized by
my advisor. Hence, the work of this semester come to a conclusion
with the object centered on motion verbs, though still many work
left undone.
This sememster received abundant help and
support and learned quite a lot from Mr.H. His ideas have been
lingering in my mind ever since the end of last term and seldom
left away. Gradually I saw the picture clearer and clearer under
his guide. Still remember his two calls in the early morning and
several tuitions that lasted half a day or even all day long. I
knew my selfishness cost him much precious time. I felt his sincere
hope and expectation but also the sense of shame for my own
laziness and lack of ability. I silly did sth wrong and spoke
irresponsibly which was contrary to his wish. But he did everything
he can to help
