Peasant Dance http://hyl510.googlepages.com/dtq05.MP3 Among classical instruments, aside from the piano, the one I’m most captivated by is the cello. This dance piece feels a bit hurried, but it seems to suit my recent mood rather well. Gentle, fervent, peasant, noble, joyous.
阅读全文I remember that during this period two years ago, every day I would carry three or five books on my back and sit by the shore of Weiming Lake or the lake in Langrun Garden for an entire afternoon. When I grew tired of reading, I would gaze at the water for a while, staying until evening or even sunset, and only after I had finished several books would I leave—both carefree and at ease, and astonishingly efficient. For more than a year, although I would occasionally still wander around Weiming Lake, whenever I walked by the lake there was always a heavy shadow pressing on my heart. Several times…
阅读全文UINC said she likes the grasslands of Ireland—what is so special about the Irish grasslands? Perhaps it is because Irish music (such as bagpipes) and Irish poetry (such as Yeats) are so impressive. But on this tiny speck of land called Ireland, what exactly is so special about her music and poetry, her nation and culture? If I just say Irish music, I can’t quite bring it to mind, but if I say Celtic music, then I know what it’s about. I once used a certain piece of background music for a while, and it was dismissed by UNIC as “the background music doesn’t seem quite good. A bit noisy~…

阅读全文Who can tell a lie that can really shock me? I remember that the mildest but most effective lie people used to tell all the time was: “Your shoelace is untied.” Even if the other person was on full guard, they would usually still look down once. A slightly sleazier but based on the same principle one is “Your zipper is down” (only works on guys). It triggers an instinctive reaction; no matter how alert you are, in general you still can’t help glancing down at it~ Legend has it that some Western TV station once broadcast fake news of a Martian invasion on April Fool’s Day, and the result…
阅读全文Since the start of the semester I have been in a no-bike state: the battered old28 was finally stolen away (the lock had broken and I had ignored it all along, until at last it could not get through the year-end after all…), and if I wanted to buy a brand-new old28, I would need to make an appointment more than two weeks in advance—because that old-fashioned model is no longer produced in large numbers. This model is old-fashioned to the extreme: seehttp://www.cnforever.com/zjyj/i_5_09.htm In May 1962, in order to better meet the performance requirements for load-carrying, and to produce bicycles for the broad masses of peasant friends that met their…
阅读全文I Am the Man Who Is Going to Become the Pirate King! The One Piece anime has already reached episode 300. I only started watching it over this winter break, and I watched the more than 200 previous episodes and several theatrical films in one go. Of course, it is a very good anime. The first 200-odd episodes are the most exciting, especially the first few dozen. And like other very long anime series, the further it goes, the more the plot begins to feel drawn out, and the tension of the story lessens and less. This is probably due to the interference of commercialization. But I am still full…
阅读全文Last semester, because I had so many classes on Fridays, I never went to listen to the KeKe Forum, and that dragged me along so that I never quite had the nerve to come to Tsinghua to hear the salon either… This semester I’m planning to show up much more often~ The first time I met Teacher Jiang (in the flesh), my situation was rather embarrassed. Relying on the fact that I had been to Tsinghua a few times before, I didn’t even look at a map, and as a result it took me half an hour just to find the library; after arriving at the library, I then somehow…

阅读全文About CCTV Broadcasting Paranormal Videos I happened to see a QQ News item, http://news.qq.com/a/20070208/000611.htm To say whether what CCTV is promoting is “pseudoscience” is hard to say, but one thing can be certain: it is not promoting science, and even less the spirit of science. I already mentioned the badness of CCTV’s “Exploration·Discovery” program in an earlier article, The Zodiac, Easter Island, and the Predicament of Popular Science. I have always recommended: if you want to know more about science, it is best to watch less television. Whether it is “Exploration·Discovery” or “Discovery,” the contribution to the public understanding of science is probably extremely negative. I am less and less…
