a picture of you in my dream
After receiving a picture from you, on my way home suddenly I remembered in my dream just before I awoke this morning I received a picture of you wherein you stand on an antique city wall of an ancient city and you explained from that angle the picture can record an overlook of the whole city wall as your background...If you didn't send me a picture, i might never remember an episode of my dream having you there.
But you are so niggard in your words.

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land
Now I understand What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand
Now I understand What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will...

Overcoming a disadvantaged start in life to reach a position of influence and satisfaction.

forgive nobody
I had a very unhappy discussion with the Taiwanese in our lab on the mainland-taiwan issue. It made me sick till the next morning when I awoke. How naive I didn't to expect him to be such a narrow-minded person and I though the issue derived from more than 10 years' civil war and nearly 50 years' isolation could be easily communicated. If he is not of severely low IQ or totally messed logic, he must be on purpose. I feel strong hostility to him today, can't talk to him anymore, even hate any eye contact. Actually, I never expect a political issue can affect my own life in such a way since I am so indifferent about it.
I need some people to agree with me on that issue. Isn't it clear that it's stupid and ridiculous for Taiwanese to try to be independent. The issue is just a problematic relationship. The best solution may come with our new knowledge in psychology. What make me sick is how people's ignorance will lead to a bad end. Do people living on a lsland tend to be narrow-minded?
I should not waste my time on such issues with such a person. That's my lesson.
Maybe I am a little self-conceit to always try to discuss such sensitive issue. I succeeded once when I talked with a Japanese girl about WWII but also failed once with another Japanese girl. It's maybe my problem to always believe I am the righteous one. It's quite intellectually and emotionally comsuming. I have no interest in politics but too keen on right or wrong.
Can you understand me? Do you know how sincere, objective, and goodwilled when I try to touch such issues?

Hi Naugthy Boy,
I guess most of my images left in your mind are inavoidably processed into a special type. It may be too hard for me to change it.
First time when I heard that a farm family can have any neighbour only outside 10mile radius, I was quite surprised for their isolation. However, their conditions are so much better than the "peasants" in China. Perhaps, there's still no farmers in China since people working on the land do not own the land and they have very limit means of production. When I wonder where to find a village in the states, I never realise the term is still used in Europe. It's interesting to find that you don't appreciate their single family farm. Can the midwestern farmers still sense their historical heritage in their memory about the old middle age Europe? What's is difference between you and them? In my eyes, you are just part of each other.
How many years later do you think people can make an almighty translation device so that people can communicate freely no matter what language they speak. I want to talk to you so much but the language barrier deters me.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hay ride and soccer report
Have you ever been to a farm in Iowa? You must. Do you know the hay ride? Last Saturnday I took Lu to a hay ride party hosted by a church. Lots of international students were invited and I saw several Europeans, guessing you might be there once amongst. Church things are not fun but my major goal is to see the real iowa farm and take some pictures to show to my parents. For my first time, I ride a horse there and felt like having the potential to be a cowgirl. Also, I hiked around on the farm with my bare feet, feeling the grass, and the smooth soiland the natural intimate connection between the great earth ground and us, which made people relax and homy. I took Lu around in darkness while others singing for God. We went to climb apple trees, and competed for reaching "missions impossible". Finally, I got a highest one which tasted the best, and Lu verified it with one huge bite. How it can be such simple and fun!
Yesterday I went to drink tea with a cute girl of the soccer club in Stomping Ground, which remind me of lots of you. I am so happy to know she once learned fashion design and loves arts very much. I promise to help to realize some of her designs. You probably can't imagine how beautiful her eyes are. They can make people lost and lose breath. Hope you also enjoy simple funs in your everyday life. Talk to you later.
