IN GOD'S WAY
SCHOOL-DAYS
I.
In the melting snow on the hill-side by the sea, in the last rays of the
evening sun, stood a boy of fourteen, awestruck. He looked toward the west,
out across the sea; he looked toward the east, over town and shore and the
broad hills; in the background still higher peaks rose far away in the clear
sky.
The storm had lasted a long time; it had been more terrible, too, than any

BEIJING | Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:59am EDT
BEIJING (Reuters) - The scandal shaking China's ruling Communist Party just
as it readies for leadership change was triggered by claims that the wife of
one ambitious candidate was involved in the death of a British businessman,
said a source with close ties to key individuals involved.
The comments, corroborated by two other sources who also spoke on condition

Environmental groups scorn state leaders who dare question the sanctity of
renewable energy mandates, commonly known as “renewables portfolio

continue to reconsider the wisdom and value of these mandates.
RPS laws typically require electric utilities to purchase specific

神圣的敬畏
经文: 「藐视训言的，自取灭亡；敬畏诫命的，必得善报。」（箴言十三︰13）
对上帝话语的敬畏，常被稀释或打折扣。世人以为他们比上帝的话更有智慧，
所以就随意批判圣经。而我们不敢这么做，因为我们敬畏上帝。我们相信这本圣经所记
载绝对无误，我们也借着遵行祂的话，证明我们的估算是对的。我们倒不是害怕上帝，
而是敬畏上帝。我们不是因为害怕刑罚而勉强遵行律法，乃是因为敬畏上帝诫命，而乐
意遵行祂的旨意。
这种对诫命的神圣敬畏，带来谦卑的安息，要比自我心中的随心所欲，来得心
安快乐得多！因着心中有主，使我们行事有定见、有原则，不致莽撞急躁，像是煞车失
灵的车子。因着心中有主，吸引我们愿意圣洁像祂，定意脱离罪恶，追求公义，求得良
心的平安，那是一种喜乐的泉源，是一种无比释放的自由，是一种被上帝悦纳的自信，

你可能认为5月35日是个虚拟的日子，但在中国，它是真实存在的。它指的实际上是6月
4日，1989年发生“天安门事件“的日子，这个词在互联网上被禁掉了，人们于是使用
“5月35日”来逃避审查和纪念那天发生的事。
今年早些时候我访问台湾的时候，我的书《十个词汇里的中国》在那儿刚刚出版。我被
问到，“为什么这本书不能在大陆出版，而你的小说《兄弟》却可以？”
这就是虚构与非虚构的差别：尽管两本书都是关于当代中国的，《兄弟》触及的是隐晦
的事因而可以成为漏网之鱼，而《十个词汇里的中国》过于直白，逃不过审查。
“《兄弟》是5月35日”，我解释道，“而《十个词汇里的中国》更像6月4日。”
想要表达观点的话，5月35日式的词汇成了今天的例行规则。根据最新的数字，中国有
四亿五千七百万网民，三亿三百万中国人可以用手机上网。在网上控制这些用户不越距

凑合。要不要结婚，要不要和一个男人在一起，我的原则是如果两个人在一起还不如我
一个人过，我为什么要委屈自己？
如果不肯凑合，就一定要考虑最坏的结果。如果一辈子找不到满意的人，独身一辈子，
你自己是否能够接受这样的局面？还有小孩的问题，有小孩对自己到底有多么重要？如
果男人可有可无，孩子一定要有，在找不到合适男人情况下，就要很实际的考虑冻卵或
者自己生孩子的可能性。
我的原则是，做好最坏结果的打算，但是朝着最好结果去努力。在了解人性弱点和黑暗
面的同时，不放弃希望。我一直都有约会，尝试去接触不同的人。虽然常常会有大海捞
针的挫败感，但是我从来没有放弃过。幸运的是，最近我遇到了一个很好很好的人。当
你找到那个人的时候，你会发现你的所有坚持与等待是值得的。
他送我的诗，与你分享,也希望你不要放弃，早日找到满意的人生伴侣。

What are we fighting for?
We are fighting for our most valuable possession: our freedom. We are
fighting for our land and our skies. We are fighting so that our children
will not be slaves of foreign rulers. That is in no way an exaggeration or
empty phrase.
We know the English. We know about Versailles, about the colonies England
stole from us, about the Ruhr, about Golzheimer Heath, about the starvation
blockade. We know that we will be slaves if we do not w... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 38600 | 49 China is a serious country led by serious educated people who believe in
science and reason and planning. Serious long term planning. Heavily
investing in infrastructure which includes both physical (roads, bridges,
airports, high speed rail) and human (education, targeted poverty reduction,
rapidly rising wages for all, improved social safety net) and a government
that works. The Chinese society is not divided by racism and bigotry. The

Mongolian here, hopefully I can give you an unbiased opinion.
Short answer: Mongolians hate China and as for Inner Mongolians, Mongolians
pity and scorn them because they think they've been assimilated and
mixed with the Chinese and are no longer really Mongolian.
Long answer: It's a complicated mix of history, racism and an
inferiority complex that forms the Mongolian opinion on China.
First the racism: Since the times of Chingis Khaan Mongolians have claimed
racial superiority ... 阅读全帖 |
