Nathaniel Hawthorne

Toady I would like to briefly talk something about an American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Nathaniel Hawthorne is a master of American historical fiction which took off first when the United States of America was newly created, and this kind of genre was established by English writer Sir Walter Scott.
Influenced to some extent by transcendentalism, Hawthorne's views of this movement were mixed. Unlike Emerson and Thoreau whose works contained optimistic beliefs and faith about life, Hawthorne's writings, with its deep ethical concren about sin, punishment, and atonement.
There are two important characteristics of Hawthorne's works---powerful symbolism and psychological complexity, which made him distinguished from other writers.
His works explore the darker side of human nature, especially themes of guilt and efforts at reconciliation at last. The Scarlet Letter is a good example to prove it.
In a word, Nathaniel Hawthorne is a great writer. Therefore my discovery of him will be endless. I just stop here today, and I'll go further in the following days.

Reading China's Classics

Almost everyone knows that China has a long history, so it is no wonder that it has any number of classical treasures, such as The Four Important Chinese Classical Novels, The Five Classics and The Four Books, Thoughts of Taoism, and their special customs. I am very interested in them. Thereby, I decided to appreciate and study them one by one, and little by little. Because time waits for no man. we must make most of it.

Last week I began to read A Dream of Red Mansion, and I downloaded the TV series of it as well. It do has great charming, and I love it very much. So I know what I'm going to do next.

If you want to know something about China's classics just like me, you can also do it like me. It's really good, attractive, and excellent. Believe me or not, that's depend on You!

My Teacher

Mr. Fish is my Advanced English teacher. Not using the traditional teaching way, he adopted a special way to teach us. This course mainly contains words, sentences, and grammar. But Mr. Fish pay more attention to something invisible between the lines. He takes culture more seriously, and reveal us the truth and the true look of this world, as well as direct us to realize this on our own. He always says we should have a strong culture awareness because that is the purpose he teach us.
For a long time I try to write down this to show my feeling and respect to Mr. Fish. I just don't know how to rxpress it. I cannot wait any longer although now I'm still not ready to do it yet. Probably in most people's eyes, Mr. Fish is not suitable for this world, I mean the real life. In my eyes, he is great. He dare to say his real feeling about the world around us. He dare to disclose the unequality existed. I heard his voices from the bottom of his heart. I know he is a man!
Our society needs this kind of person. However, sometimes this world disappointed me. It is unreal. It is full of dirty, and beauty is disappearing. This world has let me down many times. I don't care about it. It sounds sad, but it is the reality. Anyway, it's happy to meet a good teacher like Mr. Fish in my life.
He is sick for several days. I sincerely hope he 'll be better soon.

Something lost, Let It Go

Life is not what I thought about before

It's good that I realized this

It's not too late

Those lost things, I let it go

I was expecting someone for a long time

To come to me

And makes me happy
I always had hope in my mind

But, everything is lost

I'm not sad

I feel well

I just know a person clearly

I gained much

I lost nothing

Be happy, everyday

Be healthy

Be myself

These are the most important

Living is a thing of my own

Having little relationship with someone else

I have had someone to love me

That is enough

Life Is Fragile

I can not express what I want to say now. I finally know how fragile life is till today. A young actress, only 33 years old, died of cancer yesterday. Suddenly I have a feeling of heartache. I can not help crying. A friend ask me why. But I don't know how to tell her. Life is too fragile. Does destiny really work? If not, why this happened all of a sudden? How do we live our life better and without leaving any regrets? Does money and statue are really important? If not, what are the most important? How can we view our life and our living?

If, life is full of wonders, beauties, or colours, what it is like?

However, most of the time, life is just like leaves in the autumn, withering in the wind in the end.

Maybe that is destiny.

I must stop. My pessimistic thoughts coming to attack me. I'm afraid it will influence the simple people. You have the positive attitude towards life. That's good anyway.

Never Say Goodbye

if i could take this moment forever
turn the pages of my mind
to another place and time
we would never say goodbye

if i could find the words
i would speak them
then i wouldn't be tongue-tied
when i looked into your eyes
we would never say goodbye

if i could stop the moon ever rising
day would not become the night
wouldn't feel this cold inside
and we'd never say goodbye

i wish that our dreams were frozen
then our hearts would not be broken
when we let each other go...

if i could steal this moment forever
paint a picture-perfect smile
so our story stayed alive
we would never say goodbye


This is a very beautiful song. You can appreciate it when you are free.

Looking Around

This time I don't want to record what happened today. I'm just looking around here and see if there is something I can edit in my blog. I want to know what I did here. Perhaps I can find some errors in the writings. So I can change them.

It's time to say goodbye.

Have a nice day, and be happy!

Thy Love Left

Every morning I wake up, I tell myself it's not true. But it's true. Your love has gone. I have no tears. But the sadness struck me and I cannot express it exactly and clearly. I don't know what to say. I just don't want to say anything. Let me alone.

There is a kind of love which comes nearer to you when you are unaware of it, and also leave quietly when you wanna to grab it. It's probably our destiny. We cannot change anything.

Every time I feel lonely, I look at the stars. Then I became part of the universe. My sadness get away from me little by little. He found his princess. I have my prince. We all live a happy life. That's enough. Perhaps we'll become friends, perhaps not. Who knows.

I choose to let the chance go.

In every quiet night, I recall you. I hope from today on, in every beautiful norning, I still miss you very much in a calm mood, and no longer feel sad.

In memory of our story.

Today Is A Gift

When it comes the end of a day, what can you benefit from this day? I don't know when the time begins when I always take the day as the last day of my life.

For a very long time, always at about the same time of day, always at night, I tell myself, "today is becoming the past, tomorrow is a new day. Now it's time for me to dream a wonderful dream!" This makes me put the most important thing of my life into the first place. Tomorrow remains a miracle. We don't know what will happen tomorrow because maybe this day we will die. Maybe we don't have it(tomorrow). But today is a gift. Every today is a gift. So live today happily and valuably. So long as we do like this, when life ends, we won't regret; and when tomorrows comes, we can take it more seriously.
People are easy to forget things. We decided something, and woke hard, but soon gave up. What we did always contrary to our original intentions. Why does we so forgetful? Why don't we make life easier? Why don't we think about this question just for ane or two minute?

When I understand this, I know that I'm not young. This is the cost of growth. But I still have "today", just like what I said.

Life is short. Going for better, or going for worse, that's all depend on ourselves. Everyone was born with the power of creation. Only this person himself knows what he can do, and he doesn't know what he can do if he didn't try. Put the block aside and follow our heart. Working hard!

"Though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through our toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to us to till." No pains, no gains. That's it.

One day, we'll get a lot more than expected.

A Happy Weekend

I spent a wonderful weekend! A close friend came to me.
I don't want to say more because I'm tired and sleepy now.
When I thought how to pass the time of these two days, he appeared.
His arrival made me feel happy.

"I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life

Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life".

Real Education

Do you really think that the education you received is good or propriate for you? Have you ever thought about it carefully? Did you want to change the way you learned?

What's the real education? We can get educated from every aspects through all kinds of different methods, instead of only staying at school. From my point of view, during the process of learning, self-awareness is the most important factor of achieving success. We spent too much time in the school, and we must accept what the teachers gived to us whether we like it or not. Gradually we would be very easy to lost the initiative and become the victim of the so-called modern education system just because we were accustomed to all of this. I'm not mean that our modern education system destroyed us. I mean everyone of us can have a special and proper way of learning and getting an education. We have our own ideas.

So what is the real education? The real education is that one day we no longer complain about this. Is it true? It's still hard to say.

Life's Rhythm

Everyone has a rhythm of his or her life. This kind of rhythm was formed when we were very young. This rhythm is about our style of thinking, acting, talking as well as the perfection state of life we have. It is possible that you will neglect it for a long period. But in our early twenties, we must realize it because life is short, and we don't have much time to waste. We find a direction of life and struggle for it in the rest of our lives. In most of the time our rhythm is invisible, and you can just feel it. It makes life worth living, and also helps us lead our lives towards a higher situation.

Flying A Kite

March is a good time for flying a kite.

I also want to go out to fly a kite with my friends, but we are all too busy these days. We had no choice but to find another time.

To A Friend

MoTou is my close friend. We know each other for five years. I promised to myself to do something special for him. To commemorate our friendship, I wrote down this from his point of view.

Memory is a kind of magic thing. Sometimes you can remember something clearly; sometimes you soon forget it.

When I was a little boy, I have had great passion for nature. I found a lot of fun in playing in the fields and hills. But what I want to do most is to eat what I want. Life was never going to be so free and easy again just like when I was in my junior high school. I made many friends there, and I believe we are friends forever. I met the girl who lights up my life when I was in senior high school.

Sometimes I feel puzzled about this world. This world provides us a set of standards of success. It seems that we must achieve the highest. I think it's just OK if I'm able to earn enough money to support my family. I have no ambitions other than to have a happy life, and be free. I don't want to be someone, I just want to be myself. I don't care how other people judge me. I just care what I did whether followed my heart and my soul or not. I wish I can stay with my loved one and do what we like to do.
