THE ANSWERS NOT ALL FOUND

Today when I open the parameters of my blog, I suddenly saw many sub menus which I'd never noticed before. I guess that time and patience are always necessary for new discoveries.

Also thanks to those who have given me their advice. Now I should be able to publish the messages by emails, to buy a domain name...

However, a basic problem is still not solved, which is to have the frame of "links". I didn't clearly explain my problems of last time:I don't mean to put links into my published messages, but the links apart, so that I can for instance put the website of my friends (like Kenny does), or of other website of mine (like Xixidu does). You will understand it by comparing my web structure to yours - I just don't have the "link" frame. I guess that it's just the model of presentation I've chosen which doesn't allow to do this...

Need Advice -
the functions of blog construction provided by Blogger.com

Untill today I know only how to upload texts and pictures onto my blog, with very limited possibilities for the page setting.
Things I'd like to do but don't know how today are:
  • to have the "link" function so that I can recommend other websites;
  • to shorten the page: instead of puting all articles on one page, I'd like to cut it into different pages, which can make the reading easier.
  • to arrange the articles other than by date, for example: by subjects, or by languages.
  • to have more frames on one page.
Can anyone advics me why not, and what to do, knowing that I don't know html language.

MUNICH

It’s a good film. Even though painful and stressful, it goes straight deep to the inside world of a man – a sweet lover, good cook, young father, faithful patriotic, but terrorist.

He isn’t an idea person to take the mission: his life was sweet and happy; the emotion is so strong that he got touched by every similar scene during his mission. An ideal person should be one who doesn’t own these; neither feels these in his life. Does he exist?
**********
But forget the above bullshit, cause this isn’t the good logic to reason – killing can never save anyone, change anything. Look at this principle: to kill the one who had killed, not their family, or anybody else. However, the reality is that a family is damaged as the father, the husband is lost, that the innocents could also lose their life by hazard. Those who get involved into this game of revenge, they break the happiness of the others, and of themselves…He could have been friends with Ali, or joking with Zwaith (?). No, actually, the mission killed all these possibilities, the happiness, and what’s left to him are blood and smashed bodies of the people who were once lovely for him.

They take away the happiness of others, and the happiness of themselves.

***********
I know really very little about the history of Israel and Palestine. That "little" I know, is due to my arrival in France – the fact that I’m now near to the two mysterious nations. But hates and revenges, I’ve seen much from Chinese history between families – the over 5000 years’ history.
The war will never end if people reason on hates and revenges, for hates and revenges are not reasonable at all. Someone should first be tolerant and wise to stop passive reactions to irrational actions. It need lot of courage, of course, the courage to forgive the past, the courage to be patient and to negotiate inch by inch. When you think of the happiness for other people as well as for yourself, I think you’ll change your mind.

********
Several years ago I watched "save solder Rein", also directed by Steven Spielberg. I didn’t like it at all. The cruel scenarios offended me. I didn’t expect myself to like "Munich", but I do, deeply touched although it’s bloody, too. Maybe it’s me who have changed…

(French) l’extrait de film MUNICH
Dans la nuit du 5 septembre, un commando de l’organisation palestinienne Septembre Noir s’introduit dans le Village Olympique, force l’entrée du pavillon israélien , abat deux de ses occupants et prend en otage les neuf autres. 21 heures plus tard, tous seront morts. Avner, un agent du Mossad, prend la tête d’une équipe de quatre hommes, chargée de traquer à travers le monde des représentants de Septembre Noir désignés.

Teaching Chinese as a foreign language

Yesterday, I was on the TV. In France.

It was a report on the programmes of learning Chinese in CEL of the Chamber of Commerce of Drôme. The provincal TV station France 3 Valence made it.

I was the teacher.

I was happy that the interview gave me a chance to express my gladness of teaching Chinese language and Chinese Culture to foreigners.

However, on the television only certain of my words have been shown; and it seems to be miss leading in a some way.

This morning, I become the star of the company that I work for... Not sure it's a good thing that everyone thinks I have a second job beside...Let it be.

It's a pity that JC is still on a business trip far in Trinidad and Tobago. I have no way to register the report; he may even miss the temperary show through the website of Fr 3.

I spent all my night to try to take photos of the report on the website. The photos are not clear at all; but at least I can show them to my parents one day.

Driving on heavy snow for the first time

It was Jan. 28.
The snow had been announced for a week. Friday morning it seemed to become serious.
Luckily, don't work on Friday afternoon.
It took 5 minutes to uncover my car from the snow of 15 cm - for the 1st time in my life. JC hadn't call at all; I was afraid that he would propose me to stay square and wait for him to pick me up... So now, the first driving experience in heavy snow, WITHOUT "General" JC! I was almost excited!
Just, I know that with my skill, it's wise to drive back home as soon as possible. If I could have done it, my story will stop here.
One hours later I was told that the boys are waiting for me to bring them back to La Roche. I therefore returned to the downtown of Valence. After slipping in front of the red traffic light twice, and moving right and left like a drunk in climbing up a bridge, I knew that it's no longer amusing. I decided that for my return, I'll take another itinerary without bridge.
Unfortunately my decision was wrong. Of course there was no bridge, but the road itself goes high and low - much worse than the bridge! My Saab 1993 started to dance like a crab, moving left and right only, in front of a big climbing. With three people, full of shoppings for the next week and school affaires, I could understand how difficult it was for my big SAAB.
A long line started to accumulate behide us...I continue to make my efforts, but in my head, I already started to imagine that a Police car would come to save all of us, and the snow will completely cover my SAAB during the night...
Then some one appeared near the car window, but not a police. He said: "hurry up for home you guys! I'll push your car!" So I woke up, and ask the boys to get down and push the car together with the stranger. It worked! Moreover, the guy gaved the boys a typical French appreciation to women: Is that a woman who is driving? No wonder!
Good! No one knows everything, so, not difficuilt to imagine a woman from plate Shanghai to drive in mountainous France covered by heavy snow of 30 cm!
Like this, my car went on...there was one time that I missed the road and drove on the way of the oposite direction; sometimes the glass cleaners dropped off; from time to time, my car danced a little; but most of the time, my SAAB pretented to be a snail.
...If I'm writing all these down today, it's because I'd successfully returned home that Friday - My first drive in a windy snowy day!

For those who would like to share with me my life:

Water and mountains that I've acrossed,
Work and family that I can neither ignore,
Skills and experiences that I've got,
Larghters, tears, and sometimes just some small sentimental feelings,
Chinese, English, French that I can all speak but none is perfect...
Here, I share them all with you.
So I've chosen English, bet you have the willing to read?
