This story certainly speaks volumes about the reality anywhere in the world nowadays: to survive or thrive, one has to speak English. But the ubiquity of the English language is a result of America's acquisition of a universal state. And that, if Arnold Toynbee was right, is a sign of the decline and eventual demise of that state. While Chinese panhandlers are learning to speak the universal language, American elites and commoners alike are learning Chinese. More and more high schools are

This is the time when people are looking back at the past year and making plans for the new one. At least for some readers' benefit, Prof. Liao should consider continuing the memoirs and share the draft here with us from time to time. While a person may occasionally benefit--often inadvertently--from certain circumstances (including bad laws or social policies), he derives far more benefits from his own vision, determin

- Posted by ±¿±¿ on 11/11/2005. fengzi commented once.I like the metaphor of the poem. It reminds me of an installment in Mrs. Cowman's classic STREAMS IN THE DESERT. In that elegant short prose, which I'm attaching below, she described in great detail the metamorphosis of a moth, and discussed how such process may be related to our experience in life. Made Perfect Through Suffering by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Rom. 8:18).

I wish Harrison Ford was in it, not that he would have made it any better, but that I like the professors he has played in a few movies. Tom Hanks is great but I always associate him with Forrest Gump, dumb, funny, but not that intelligent. The book is a well researched piece, strewn together by several intertwined threads, spanning 2,000 years and several continents. Although the plot is not that remarkable, I do feel the combination

- In ancient times, people ¡°stole light¡± through the cracks on the walls of an illuminated house. Some of them even dug or enlarged an opening to adjust brightness. These people were lauded, for more than two thousand years, obviously not for their intentional damage of other¡¯s property or invasion of privacy (an ear close to the bedroom wall, aided by prying eyes, always serves to remove the last veil of privileged family life), but for their assiduity. Now we have this Information-Age form of ¡°steal

They are like light, bite-size snacks, a brief nap in a hot summer noon, or an ornament on the mantel. I'm helplessly confined, like many other contemporaries, to a common bad reading-habit of our times: we often read only the first and last paragraphs of a piece of writing. Therefore, the only way for us to go through an article in its entirety, hence to fully relish its brilliance, is to read one having only two paragraphs, or less. Classical litera
- Ultimately, all these differences can be traced back to the geographical inequalities 15,000 years ago, at the dawn of human history. (And that basically is the thesis of Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs and Steel¡ªone of my favorite books) The separation of church and state, the conflicts between nobles and kings, the middle class,* and the lack of a super power to unify the warring states in Europe (due to geographical barriers), all contributed to the initial notion and subsequent realization of liberty and

Besides the mesmerizing narratives and analysis--as characteristic in author's many other works, I particularly enjoyed a discourse of Shakespeare in the context of law. This, obviously, is a very interesting topic in itself, as there are already many books on this: for example, ¡°The Law in Shakespeare¡±, ¡°Shakespeare and the Law¡±, and ¡°Shakespeare and Lawyers.¡± It¡¯s intriguing just to see how Shakespea

I'm not sure how well my convictions to the power of simple and true facts (or raw data, so to speak) may sit with that school of thought, which I also feel equally intriguing. For those who might be interested in the theory or are actually practicing it with no formal acknowledgement, "gonzo journalism" is a news writing style, based on the idea that fidelity to fact did not always shed light on truth. Instead, th

- Posted by °Ëʮһ×Ó on 03/26/2005. fengzi commented once.A very nice piece indeed! People in the West tend to evaluate another civilization in terms of how different it is from the western civilization. This propensity has been repeatedly admonished against by many scholars in the west, yet unfortunately, has been repeatedly manifested in the government propaganda and the main stream media eager to please the government. The net results of such collusion are that most people in North America have accepted the version imposed upon them by the media as objectiv
