“Doing a social web page and being banned in China shows that you are good at what you are doing.”
The superexcellent web2.0 website Plurk.com (superlink needed) has been banned by the ㄛ.£.ш. (ㄛяёατ £ιяёшαll; superlink needed) around 10:20 on April 23th, 2009. Coincidently, sixty years ago on the same day , the Kuomintang Regime was overthrown by the China Communist Party, and announced by who China and Chinese have entered a new and free period of time, which declared the naissance of a huge whopper.
After the new China was founded, only in several pieces of time did Chinese owned freedom. Things appear better to some baffled plebs, but in fact, the espial among the citizens is becoming more and more common, especially on the net.
Personally, ordinate organism as society is, for the sake of keeping it ordered, it is necessary to have some inordination to stimulate it every now and then. This kind of inordination is called parties-cycling. That is to say, countries have parties-cycling system are healthier and stay longer than those not.
Unfortunately, what the CCP did, do and will do is just follow the opposite direction. They believed and still believe stern controling are good to their governing and themselves. So they killed the free press by infusing the plebs what shouldn’t think. However, as the information is spreading fast via the internet, more and more citizens have found what the Party did and do. Some of them even want to tell the plebs the truth. The Party is so atwitter that they set a firewall to block websites which contain some “bawdry, eroticism and violance” contents, such as BBC Chinese(superlink needed).
This time, the talon run out to Plurk. Early experiencer as I am, I have seeing the development of Plurk and Plurk witnesses my growth from June 23rd, 2008. Through this website I meet many good friends: @steelsnarl @nonozone @wingpig @Remex @isL @ginjiq @elegance @melodylalala @snowflakel @fanny @wzy @doggie @woou @abigale0615 @badnao @linkzero @asca @chrisoul @possion @bekyhe @ur2 @qgirl @melomlusa @乐乐笑眯眯 @小米 cutegirl @落落落 @台中小猴猴 and many other plurkers. We share happiness and sorrow with each other and they have helping, comforting and cheering me up a lot. Not only have I learnt a lot on computer and internet technology from them, but also have I enjoyed different kinds of culture and living styles. All in all, Plurk changed my attitude towards SNS websites, and in fact, it is not a traditional SNS website.
“Doing a social web page and being banned in China shows that you are good at what you are doing”—-This saying is widely spread among the IT domain. Besides Plurk, many other famous and great websites are also banned or were banned between whiles, such as Blogspot, MyOpera Community, Wordpress.com, Wikipedia and Youtube. It is sadly to admit that the saying is true.
However, we won’t, couldn’t and should’t bow down. We are citizens, not liege men, we have the right and freedom to think, to express, just as the Consitution endued. We can’t make Plurk the second MyOpera Community. We should declare to the world: Chinese are still awake, freedom is still alive in China, China is still a country powered and governed by the dumb millions.
Here are some ways to sign in Plurk:
If you are a mobile user, you can use Opera Mini(Pay attention, don’t use Simplified Chinese Edition, you should use Traditional Chinese Edition or International Edition) or Ucweb English Version;
If you are a MAC/PC user, you can download £яёёㄛατё/шㄩjιё to use as a proxy or use proxy add-ons in FireFox such as тοя button.
Surely, the best and most convenient way is using a Https link provided by the official group of Plurk.
It is said that the trailblazer is trying to connect and bargain with Chinese government(http://www.plurk.com/p/pot0n), I am waiting for the bad news.

Study at colleges/universities ? Aren't you kidding ?
Nowadays, more and more students have passed the NMET which allows people to receive higher education due to the enlargement of enrolment of the colleges and universities. This ought to have been an agreeable phenomenon. However, most people have found and admitted that after the enlargement, the quality of students nowadays are far poorer than students in the past.
How does this come about ?
One major cause is most people go to colleges or universities just for the sake of finding a good job and earning a lot of money. If going to colleges or universities will make them poorer, then who else will do that ? Moreover , most companies only need vocational school students or training school students, but they just engage people with bachelor's degree, master's degree or even doctor' s degree. It appears that most people have forgetten or even never know the real aim of higher education.
The real aim of higher education should be and have been to educate people to probe, to query, to skepticize, and to think freely and independently. Unfortunately and grievedly , rarely can we see this spirit appeared on nearly all of the students today , as well as many teachers. What they only concern is either money or power. This can readily explain why academic corruptions are becoming more and more normal.
The other major cause is up to today, colleges or universities have gradually become detention centers. By this way , the governors can easily solve or avoid many social problems due to they are despotizing world's largest population. What a sustainable and harmonious solution!
A big library with soft music broadcast, wisps of sunshine, neat streets with not many pedestrians, no exams for useless certificates, no roll-calling——That's my dreaming college life.

A City of Yesterday
The report of the year 2008's GDP of all the cities in China has been published eventually. With the GDP of 441.950 billion, this city has been exceeded by Qingdao, which has a GDP of 443.618 billion. After Chongqing, Qingdao becomes the second one which outstrip this city in the recent three years.
Once this city had a very splendid period of time. It used to rank first in Jiangsu province, several years later, it was outstripped by Suzhou which is almost two times larger and have a population three times larger than this city. Till now, this city is still do better in economy than Nanjing, which is the provincial capital of Jiangsu province.
I am one citizen of the city.

Till now, this city is still do better in economy than Nanjing, which is the provincial capital of Jiangsu province.
Not until Yang weize governs this city , this city still rank 8 in China's GDP list and is able to keep in step with Suzhou closely. After his governing, this city has to get worse and worse. The purchasing power unit『PuPU』 keeps highest the province whereas the invisible income level just lies third. Thanks to Nanjing is a poorer one, this city can keep second in the province. What's more unlike in foreign cities, we cannot depose the mayor, but we have to confront the fact that this city is keep slacking off.
Up to today this city still has less international recognition than even Suzhou. Maybe most foreigners heard this city for the first time due to the outbreak of cyanobacteria in the Taihu Lake in May,2007. Moreover, if you search this city in Yahoo! Weather, you can just get a result of Changzhou or even a small county in Chongqing Municipality. What was worse, it is said that this city will be divided into two more parts, one of which called Jiangyin will be merged with Jingjiang and Zhangjiagang and become the new provincial capital of new Jiangsu province. This means this city not only loses the chance to reoutstrip Chongqing and Qingdao, but also in fear of dropping out of the top ten in the GDP list.
I am one citizen of the city.

China, Chinese
Chinese is a nation which can simply accept so-called simpler things and forget the old ones just because they believe "The simpler , the better", regardless of they can't imagine how difficult it is to reach the simple state and how significant the so-called complex things are.
China is the only country which owed the continuous history and broke it down of its own free will.
Chinese is a nation with so large population but doesn't believe in any spiritual things. What they only believe in is money, interest and power though they verbally declare *.ism〔.ism文件，泛指各種主義〕 is their highest aim. They can pay respects to the buddhas one day and destroy them another day if you convince them that will bring good luck and more money.
China is a country which fears new things so much that most new things will be degraded in name of Chinesize.
Chinese is a nation who hates official preachment so much that they cannot bear any reactionism〔反動思想，又可解釋為極端保守主義，有貶義〕 though mostly what they hate is just radicalism〔激進主義，與保守主義相反，無貶義〕 actually. They abhor all sorts of corruption, but they stick to the belief that all criticisms are reactionary and all the critics are reactionaries.
advised reply: flew by are baffled plebses.

Like Chinese SNS？ NOT ME！
Nowadays , SNS (social networking service) websites are becoming more and more popular among the world , such as Facebook , Myspace , Netlog and so on. In accordance with the spirit of copycatting , plenty of SNS websites have been multitudinously emerging and swiftly spring up in China. Among them , the most typical ones are xiaonei and QQ xiaoyou .
After searching the wikipedia『http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaonei』 , we know that xiaonei is a website founded on December 2005 and till November 2007, it had become the largest online community among universities.
Launched by Tencent， the largest IM〔instant messenging〕service platform developer in mainland China， QQ xiaoyou also targeted towards universities and high school students, which may become the largest potential competitor of xiaonei.
★Plagiarism
As soon as xiaonei has just appeared, it was criticized for its plagiarism of Facebook's UI〔user interface〕and it was listed as one of the top ten plagiarisms in 2007. Coincidentally, plagiarist as Tencent is, the UI of QQ xiaoyou is resemble to xiaonei , which means both xiaonei and QQ xiaoyou have simply plagiarized the UI of Facebook. What more funny is the CEO of xiaonei denied his plagiarism and later he said Facebook had plagiarized xiaonei too. At this news, I have noting to say.
★True user
Both the two sites require the registrant should be “true user”, which means the registrant should use their true information such as true name, true school, true cellphone number and even true photo. If I don't follow it , I cannot have permissions to do a lot of things even I can't add a friend. Then comes the problem : many times I upload an infrared photo of mine which I dare to vow that everyone can identify the facial features clearly , few times they accept it as my true photo while most times they refuse to admit it. Once I uploaded an ordinary photo , though it's not me in the photo , they admit that it's my true photo. What's the purpose and use of that kind of so-called “true user”?
Unlike the foreign SNS websites , the Chinese ones are neither comprehensible nor have new features. How can I dare to like them ?
