Grandpa's Tears

raicy — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 10:30:46 +0000

July 24th, 2019 Life is like a tide which rises and ebbs. In the past two years, my life had several episodes, leaving mixed feelings in the heart. But the two years is also a time when I wrote so little that some emotions have already diminished. This afternoon I thought of this cor ...

raicy — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:02:23 +0000

Five months has flown away this year since I moved from a small coastal city in the southeast to another port city in the east of China. Yep, I came to Shanghai again. Once I wrote a journal when I went to Xiamen (back from Shanghai) to look for a job ...

A Green Hand's Notes of Green Finance

raicy — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 07:27:58 +0000

Green Finance, which may sound new and strange to outsiders, was also completely out of my knowledge scope, especially for someone like me with little know-how about finance itself. Yeah, this field always seem abstract to me, though in everyday life my behaviours may link to it unconscio ...

If I Go to England (a poem)

raicy — Tue, 01 Nov 2016 09:05:31 +0000

Well, difficulty can hardly be belittled in poem translation, no matter from English to Chinese or from Chinese to English, for the two differ a lot in the codes of language in poetry. Below is a poem which I wrote in Chinese today, and then I tried to express it in English in order t ...

Below was a little poem I wrote in the September of 2010 Our Distance Years ago we were far away Distance shortened on a sunny day We came to know each other well Would destiny make us get closer For some reason we had to depart All memory was kept in the heart ...

As I read some poems by Wislawa Szymborska

raicy — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 06:52:44 +0000

She prefers the absurdity of writing poems to the absurdity of not writing poems. In her closet lies a forest, water drops, and clouds. With the joy of writing she reflects on subtle life. The word "silence" rustles on the paper. Hitler's photo, still life, personal resume, me ...

First Impressions of Shakespeare's Tragedies

raicy — Wed, 03 Feb 2016 04:05:03 +0000

Feb. 3rd, 2016 Years ago when I was in university, I felt it hard to calm down to read a play, even in Chinese. So I graduated without reading any one. As 2016 marked the four hundredth anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare, the British Co ...

on April 24th I came here again

raicy — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 03:50:50 +0000

Sorry that I haven't come here for a long time; neither have I written any blog in English. English is seldom used at my current work, yet I still have a little appetite for reviewing English and doing sth. to insist on using it. Do you have the same feeling that we learn English by memory and prac ...

2014, Keep Writing

raicy — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 08:27:37 +0000

Jan. 1st, 2014 Pity that I I failed to leave some words in the year of 2013. Usually, I had lots of time to wait leisurely for the new year to come, starting from October. But this time, 2014 seems to be sent to me abruptly. In 2013 I only posted one Engli ...

Random Thinking- Mar. 24

raicy — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 08:36:44 +0000

March 24, 2013 It's really been a while since I last wrote a journal here. Somehow I feel it is not easy to insist on writing in both Chinese and English especially in the beginning of work. I graduated last year. Till now, I am not clear about wha ...

October 3, 2012 I arrived in Xiamen on the last Monday of September. For the time being, I live in my cousin's home and will rent an apartment room myself after I get a permanent job. Xiamen seems to be the station where I am going to sp ...

A briefing about last night

raicy — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 09:53:28 +0000

July 14, 2012 Last night is to be remembered: The Grandma's, NO. 8 Shop, Lobster feast, "Murder Game"(with pokers) in English, and the unexpected downpour forcing us into taxis... Not my practice to play overnight, but it would be rare to stay together with all of these nice colle ...

Lost the game...

raicy — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 09:38:10 +0000

I watched the football game this morning. 2:45 a.m. on 29 June. It was a great pity that the German Giants lost it when they were so close to the final. They have had such grades for many times in world-class events. Fans in China are all waiting for them to ge ...

About Interviews Given by the British

raicy — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:26:55 +0000

To begin with, I am not trying to give suggestions, for I have no clue about what the British employers truly like. I am just writing to keep track of life. Well, seldom did I communicate with a British before. But admittedly, my interest in British English did grow during my prepar ...

Dear God, my Lord, my breath has been taken away You are the ever shining star that lights up my day You are the only Almighty who knows all my way Yet love is the very word I don't dare to say When my honeymoon is over My faith gets weaker My love weighs lighter How I miss the sweet time ...

Luke 8:22-25 Jesus Calms the Storm One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. T ...

Should We Ban Internet Slang in News and Formal Documents?

raicy — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 10:08:10 +0000

Sep. 17 In recent years, Internet has been a part of people's life, especially to the youth. In the virtual world, people build up their communities, talk openly and freely, and even develop lots of Internet slang terms, such as "dinosaurs" for ugly women and "PK" for competit ...
