Subject: My Comment For you

comments: While reform and opening up policy has injected vitality into China’s routine life, it has also witnessed the fading of our long-held concept of sex and marriage. Suffering a long-term sexual repression,
China, once a reserved nation, has embarked on a so called “sexually enlightened” road. In strong contrast with our age-old practice of one-man-for-ever, we Chinese, today, have transcended the morality boundary with someone even dipping their finger into “taboo areas”. The news pertaining to one-night stand, premarital sex and extramarital affair are flooding into our sight. There is a growing indifference to chastity among
adolescences and an increasing prevalence of prostitution. Lodging onto the internet against the clock, the void urbanites are crazily scouting their sexual partners on the other side of the net, only to seek sex
stimulation. Dominated by materialism and utilitarianism, a growing number of degrading university students opt to become the mi!
stresses of the wealthy men at the expense of youth and self-esteem, only to find out they are nothing but sexual instruments to gratify the lusts of the rich.
Our country is decaying rather than advancing on the ground that the traditional bond of sex and family morality is gradually losing its binding force.
The ABC policies for aids prevention suddenly flash through my mind. Abstinence is mission impossible, being faithful to your spouse is admirable while condom using is acceptable. Here I would like to share with you my innovation, the D policy. That is, dissipation in sex is unbearable.

comments: Far East is an archaic European term to describe East Asia. It is a misnomer for the USA because such area is Near West for the USA. Well,if you go east all the way,you end up in the west.Or if you go west
all the way,you end up in the east. The point is that the east and the west are ONE on the same globe for globalization in the field of economics. Dongbudong? Hahahaha and we shall live to be centenarians. A native of Shanghai said to Shanghai Star.

comments: I WANT TO DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL FOR BEIJING OLYMPICGAMES
Last summer, the Olympic Game of Athens was a huge success for us. Knowing that in less than 4 years, after have been waited and anticipated for such a long time, Beijing will finally be the focus of the whole world,
I can not describe what my feeling is, perhaps it is the same as seeing Chinese flag rising high above and hearing our national anthem, because at that time, we are proud of our country.

Being the host of the game is of course more than this; there is still a lot of work to do. What I can do for Beijing is probably not that much, but just like what they say about the Olympic game: in the end, what
really counts is the fact that one has particapated. To be more concrete about what i can do in the coming years, I would like to go into two important aspects which I think together will partially make up a good preparation for the Game.

First, how to make the environment better is a big issue for us. As a matter of fact, the environment here is not so good as most of other big cities in the world, so planting trees is necessary, even though the time is short, but there will be more "green" in the city. Using recyclable bag can be another good idea. One such bag probably means nothing to the environment, but if many people are prepared to do that, there will be more blue sky here in 2008. I plan to do both of the things now, because it is not only for our guests, but also for the benefit of us.

Second, It is imaginable how a large-scale reception work will be needed in 2008. I know the Olympic reception work requires large numbers of English-speaking personnel and I'm aware that many people in Beijing
are learning English for it. I am one of them. Even Liuqi, the mayor of Beijing uses all his time to learn English. The intension to take part in this reception work is not only because I have special interests in
English, but I also think it is a duty of being a citizen in Beijing. In 2008, I will volunteer to be an Olympic translator, so I can tell our friends from other countries about everything they want to know about
China, make sure they get to know China better and appreciate our amazing culture. I can also tell them about the delicious food and attractive tours in Beijing.

As a person who has been learning English for a long time, I can share some experience with people who is working hard to improve their English, the same as our contestants today. I think language is more about
communication and should be used to bridge the gap between different cultures, it is not practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words. So instead of the old fashioned way, I will suggest them to practice oral
English as often as possible and feel free to speak.

comments: Americans set aside the special day of Thanksgiving to gather with family and friends to count our blessings. At the first Thanksgiving festivals in the Virginia and Massachusetts colonies,the original
settlers made praise and prayer for a bountiful harvest and hope for a promising future as the centerpieice of their celebrations. Well,Chinese folks in China and ethnic Chinese in every nook and corner of the world
are equally thankful for better living conditions and a promising future in the days to come. There is the common interests of peoples in the US and in China as homo-sapiens on earth for global economic development.

comments: Dear Sir/Madam

I am an old friend of Shanghai Star. As an English newspaper, your readers are the people who are from all walks of life.Some of them are not familiar with English. Personally, I think, the words and sentences
should be easy but meaningful. But sometimes I find that some words and sentences in your newspaper can't be understand easily. They are unfamiliar and uncommon. That creats some difficulties for the readers who are not good at English. If your newspaper can publish some articles and stories which are easy and interesting, that would attract more new learners in English.

Thanks for your kind attention.

Best wishes
yours sincerely

“Following a period of relative quiet, the subject of Japanese war crimes exploded as a result of several developments, especially Iris Chang's The Rape Of Nanjing. But in Japan, nationalists deny that events such as the Nanjing Massacre ever took place -- or minimize their horrors to make them appear inconsequential.”
I felt heart breaking when I read the data from how much horrible things Japanese did to us Chinese.

comments: I was having light dinner with an overseas friend after showing her how nice it is in Xintiandi one Saturday night a couple of weeks ago in early November.
We order only 1 Hawaiian pizza, a glass of ginger ale and orange juice, sitting outside at around 9pm. What surprised us was that to the bill added Rmb 40 for service charge, the bill itself was Rmb 116.
OK, we agree to pay and ask for the bill, the funny thing is that on the bill there was not any mentioned of the Rmb 40.
When I queried further The waitress said it is Latina policy if we sit outside they will charge Rmb 40. We don’t mind, yet when we asked again how come it is not stated on the bill? She returned Rmb 30.- with very rude manner and do not want to give any receipt at all.
That will be my last time to Latina Restaurant, clearly there is intend to cheat and if it is the management policy .This is the first time I ever experienced such thing in a restaurant after 5 years living in Shanghai.

cannot think of a bigger discrepantion. If Liu Xiang is a real sportsman, he should promote that smoking is unhealthy and will definately not improve the sportive skills of the young generation

"A LANE on Huashan Lu, close to Changshu Lu, is a typical old-style Shanghai residential area with dozens of low buildings. However, recently, a red "shed" propped up against one of the houses has made it a little more
eye-catching and different - it's a boutique hotel, maybe the first of its kind in Shanghai.

published a statement by Citigroup Chief Executive who sees China as an economic power. It is one of the signal events in the 21st century. In Asia,economies are booming and incomes are rising rapidly. China has
contributed great economic success to the world. In the debate between President Bush and Senator Kerry,China is mentioned as an important nation making contributions to peace for humankind. Salutations to motherland
for all the efforts for all folks on earth. I have reason to believe that all ethnic Chinese are proud of our motherland at our FACE VALUE(with humor if detected) Francis Shieh,Economist.

comments: Hi there,
I am the English editor for Wetlands International - China, a non-profit global organisation working to conserve wetlands around the world. Our China office is based in Beijing.
Part of my job is to find new articles for the website www.wetwonder.org. I was most interested to read you article from 05/04/01, 'China: Confronted with extinction' about the White-flag Dolphin. Would it be possible for us to upload this article to our website as part of a feature about endangered aquatic animals? We would of course give the author full credit, cite yourselves as the source and could have a link to your website after the article.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Katie Burton

comments: Dwight:

I sense underlying contempt here. But towards whom? Is it jealousy? These hard working “women” deserve recognition, and you choose to deny them this with 1960’s feminist rhetoric. Jane Irelandism is out the
door Bucko … Women have it, like to flaunt it, and (most) “men” enjoy it. Whether you like it or not, sex sells, and that’s capitalism.

comments: Washington Post,Business section,Sept. 22,2004 in re Private Sector: "China is doing a remarkable job providing 50 million new jobs each year,lifting millions out of poverty,building the infrastructure for a modern economy and training an impressive new cadre of professionals." My comment: Training is sina qua non for Chinese to have a marketable skill. For elaborations,visit www.ask.com in re "Keys for Economic Understanding" and "Work and Study Cycle Theory" to be implemented in China to train folks with skills that are needed as per the commentary from People's Daily

comments: Greetings from England, U.K.! I thoroughly enjoyed Smoke signals from ancient times, by Miao Qing,
Shanghai Star. 2004-08-12.

The information about the history of tobacco at the new China Tobacco Museum was very interesting and when I read about the Museum exhibition of 揳ll sorts of implements from tobacco pipes, lighters and ashtray to
tobacco cases.?nbsp; It reminded me of an unbelievable collection of tobacco-related matchstick and matchbox art my late father made eight decades ago.

I can also tell you about another coincidence with my father抯 unique works of art and the China Tobacco Museum. Xin Yuanming said, 揟he inspiration for the design came from the ship in which Christopher Columbus discovered tobacco in America.?nbsp; Well, my father抯 inspiration for his tobacco-related work came to him while on board a cargo ship that plied its trade around the English Channel during the 1930s.

If you are interested to learn more about my father抯 tobacco-related collection, there is a photo of the ship where he imagined and created his work online at: http://visseraa.topcities.com/UK/id283.htm

There is a beautiful photo of one of his creations at: http://www.projectguitar.com/gal/2s.htm

Two photo stories explain the specifics of how/why my father originated the idea and how he accomplished the task of of creating his collection with the most primitive of tools: http://www.ibluegrass.com/bg_posting3.CFM?p__i=641&p__r=&p__a=match

http://www.m-navydays.com/newpages/Matchstickman/Jackhall.htm

Do you think Xin Yuanming would be interested to be made aware of my collection? If you do I would very much
appreciate if you will send the information for his attention at the China Tobacco Museum.

Sincerely yours,

Tony Hall, Guinness World Record holder

news which happens in this city.

Here I'd like to ask you to do me a favor. I purchased an apartment in JinQiao District Pudong last year. However here used to be the development zone with many factories and companies.Among which there is a container company using a lot of oil paint giving off bad smell all day long. We now have a lot of residential compounds and a primary school closeby. The residents,primary school students and teachers all suffer a lot from this poisonous smell. We wrote many times to related department but couldn't get good answer.We hope we can get the help from your side.Thank you for your help in advance.

comments: Chinese leader Li Changchun is visiting DPRK now and such visit would pave the way for 6-nation talk around the end of September. China does play an important role re making efforts for peace in East Asia for the best interests of all six involved nations, namely,China,USA,South Korea,North Korea,Japan and Russia. I have reason to believe that folks are always interested in peace, not conflict in that part of the world.

My name is Patrick Bois and I have been teaching in Suzhou for 3 weeks. I love it here in Suzhou, and there's nothing more that I would enjoy than to write about my experiences. You see, I would love to free-lance for your newspaper (for free, of course). I have degrees in Psychology and Philosophy, yet, my calling has been journalism for some years. Throughout
university, I was editor for the Glendon Protem (a York University newspaper in Toronto, Canada) and wrote for several other little newspapers. What I need is to build up my portfolio so that it teems with experience. I know
that realistically, I could not write a lot for your newspaper. However, I would love to write a few articles about what I see and have seen around me.
I will be applying to Ryerson University in Toronto in a few months (Ryerson has the best journalism program in Canada), and they only accept 40 applicants out of thousands. Thus, I would really love to write a few articles for your newspaper. As of yet, the only people that could vouch for me here are Mr. Jun Zhou (my recruiter), Mr. Shu, my principal here, and
the mayor of Suzhou (I tutor his daughter). In sum, any help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

Patrick Bois

comments: Chinese Olympic Gold Winners in Hong Kong for a visit with honor and glory. I was in HK in 1989-1990 under British Crown Colony status but HK is SAR,PRC since 1997. "Xiao rang zhi bie," indeed! I am sure such visit is "shen ru ren xin" and "yi wang qing shen" as ethnic Chinese and "dong ren xin xian." For English speaking readers who are not familiar with Chinese Pin Yin yet,please study Chinese Pin Yin system of romanization in order to understand China better via the Chinese language starting with Pin Yin first and
then study Chinese characters. Xie Shihao a.k.a. Francis Shieh,author of "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language"

comments: Hello from Lincoln, Nebraska USA. I will be a visitor to your beautiful country in November. Unfortunately, it will not be in Shanghai, but in Chengdu.

I was a little disturbed when I read this in these commentaries:

" In the real United States of America women have no rights. No rights to work, no rights to drive, no rights at all. Taken away by this present U.S. Supreme Court in the last tirty years under morals laws of not being religious enough. No right for women to work. No right for any women to collect child support because this is stealing income from men who work. This was done to use their children in work camps for the U.S. governments prison companies. After all they cost money to feed."

I do hope this is either a joke or a terrible misunderstanding. It is true that women do not have the full
rights that men enjoy in the United States. However, this gap is being narrowed everyday. It is an exageration to say women have no rights at all. They have the right to vote, run for office, hold onto a job, have a bank account, drive and own cars, compete for the same jobs men have and so forth. The list is endless.

I can tell you from personal experience women have the right to collect child support, and in fact I give some every month. If I fail to give child support I risk going to prison.

There is a wage gap between men and women in our country. Men make more than women in most areas. This is a serious problem, and being addressed. It has not been solved, however.

The United States is not perfect, but I did think that the posting I read was unfair in its view of the United States.

Thank you for allowing me to post this, I look forward to a wonderful time in Chengdu.

comments: Washington Post published an article about Jewish heritage to be honored in Shanghai on Sunday, September 5, 2004. It is interesting information to Americans of Jewish ancestry since their influence is strong in all fields of endeavor. Moreover,I can detect the closer relations between the US and China in the days to come for multi-national or international cultural affinity,investment,business,education and other fields of cooperation. I am a reader of Washington Post on daily basis and such paper is influential in the nation's capital for readers in our area and around the world. That is my objective observation as an independent American scholar of Chinese ancestry a.k.a. Xie Shihao,thanks from a
hero(so-called haojie) of poetry.(shiren) with my own sense of humor if accepted. Hahahaha all the way and we
may be able to seek for longevity via intellectual satisfaction via poetry or spoof. Have a good day in
reading my humble views.

comments: Dear Sirs
We are a Greek export company in Greece and we are seeking for customers in China for Greek Virgin pure oil. We have seen your article concerning the spanish olive oil and we can say that usualy most of the exports of olive oil is in bad quality as very often a lot of big companies from europe they are buying olive oil from greece which is the best quality in the world and they are mixing it with lower quality olive oils in order to be sold in Asian markets.
realy we would be glad if your newsparper can help us to have contacts with chinese customers who realy wants to meet and feel the real value of the olive oil.
With best regards
