Thanks for the offer. Now I know where to find support. But in fact I always count him as my friend, and my only concern was I wasn't sure if he sees me as his friend, but now I know and feel much relieved. Loking forward to hearing more from you at the Cafe.

Lao Shang and Mr. 81, Thanks for putting all of these information here. This is heavy stuff, very serious. My salute to both of you.

Thanks.

好一个"爱到真时言难诉".

承蒙过誉。不过是闲里偷忙、聊以自慰。

你是说林毅夫？可别把他给吓着，他自己决不敢贪这一份功劳。他老婆还请我吃过一顿快餐呢！如今清华敢吹自己的人官做得大，北大还真不大敢吹。

七月何时来的又何时去的？没带去几片彩云？你这样的文字令人汗颜。我就住在离Paul Revere故居不到200米的地方，每天走在“自由之路”上，来去匆匆，脑子空空啊。

Thanks.

“把一个生来是做偏室的女人演得入木三分；头未转而目却斜，喜未露而娇还敛，唇欲启而笑且嗔，怒含春而怨带怜。” 好个文取心，才气不小。是才子还是才女啊？

Thank you.

感谢顶贴。

谢谢。

Good writing. Kind of reminds me of something written by Feng Zi Kai. Somewhat similar style.

That's a great joke. But I thought women are the root of all problems or used to be and wars are fought for women. So, according to your logic, women=time*money and time=money, therefore women equal either time squared or money squared, and therefore, both time squared and money squared are the root of problem. So time to the 4th and money to the 4th are both problems. That means too much time or too much money is the problem. Or you can simply say that too much money or time is the root of problem.

Thanks. I will soon. I'm going both forward and backward in posting, so that you will see one new essay that I wrote about a month ago and one older which goes backward further. I want to keep this in an orderly way to test the quality of my pieces, e.g. whether I'm writing better and better or worse and worse or somewhat consistent or wildly jumping around in terms of quality. So far, it seems that they are well received steadily in your cafe. That's encouraging. Thank you for providing me the space. A

说得好。这正是我读史兴趣之所在。例如，学生时代的陈伯达曾被人引见给郁达夫，几次跟着逛街，发现郁买东西大手大脚。年轻幼稚的陈不解地当面问郁，你不是在作品中一向穷途潦倒令人同情的吗？郁笑答，那不都是写小说吗。这件事对后来陈走向革命而未搞文学可能不无关系。

Good point about quantity difference. Mostly true about low quality stuff. Not sure about high quality stuff. I guess that, due to large quantity today, high quality stuff is harder to stand out and be recognized. Thus we have fewer legendary figures today and more mediocra stuff compared to 70 years ago.

Mr. 81, Thanks so much for this article. It's so educating. Could you please refer me to some similar writing or your sources in English? I need to let my son read them. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the confusion. Currently it is only a collection of essays (文集) post on Yidian.org and that is the title I gave to my 文集/collection there. I am writing at a speed of about one for each week. So far I have written over 30 articles. When I feel I have enough to edit into a book form to be printed by a publisher I will get it published. If censorship in mainland becomes an issue, I have to get it published overseas. If profitability is the issue I may consider self-publishing. I always wait for a

Thank you very much. What a nice surprise! Haven't been here for a while. Wish everyone a wonderful late summer.

I was in the yard listening to his speech. It sounds more inspiring if you were at present. I think it is well written, successfully illustrating or projecting his transition from a businessman to a philanthropist. This is an important moment in his life, and he transfers quite well, at least with a very good beginning. God bless him, again.

Hahaha, Tugan and ben ben, 彼此彼此。That's true.

"京剧 —— 我前世失落的乡愁" Aha, that is catching. I was surprised but also glad to find so many fans of PO here at cafe. But what's most interesting to me is why or how there are so many fans here. This proposed title seems catcing the truth. Many people here only began to enhoy it after becoming an oversea Chinese. Therefore, it becomes a tool for comforting home sick. It becomes a lost love, a love that has never happened before. Now I can see that there are two kinds of people who love it for two ki

You haven't told us your feelings yet. Scared? Not bothered? Comforted? Or whatever? Is it you didn't want to tell us because it is too private, or you already somewhat told us but I was too dull to understand?

That's my hometown, or my father's father's hometown. I haven't been there yet.
