彭大王的龙门阵

    今日在Vivo看了《新宿事件》，觉得很值得一看。
    据说此片在大陆禁播了--看三分之一你就知道为什么了。
    我有时候想，为什么那些在异国他乡做着各种艰苦工作的中国人要选择那样的道路呢？
看了这部电影，这样的问题又出现了。
    现在想来，这些在国外饱经艰辛的人在中国也是社会底层的人们。对于他们来说，留在中国是吃苦，出国也是吃苦，没什么区别的。在中国没有人善待你，瞧得起 你，出国了你听不懂外语说不定还好过一点。在中国进城帮人搓脚和到日本去做脚底按摩是没有什么区别的--日本还有一点异邦的吸引力。不像我们，总想回国是 因为国内有舒坦日子可以过--比如享受农民工们提供的脚底按摩。
    徐静蕾在片中说：人看见了没看见过的东西就会有欲望。她(徐在片中的角色)作为一个东北的村姑，就算没有去日本而只是去到中国的大都市，也很可能走上一条 色情服务的道路，因为这种行业门槛较低。她们没有文凭，我们耳熟能详的企业她们可能都没听说过；不认识城市里从事中高端工作的朋友，也没有跳舞画画一类的 艺术特长。因此，正经的高收入工作对她们是大门紧闭的。
    这些在国外受苦的人就算回来了，不会有边防警察准备着好菜好饭像他们微笑招手的。
    只有等祖国富裕了，他们在国内不会吃苦了，才不会到国外去吃苦。
    不过，社会的两级分化会越来越大吧，在哪里都是。这也很全球化。

    现在是现代中国社会复兴汉服的初期阶段，所以出现了一些厌恶旗袍的情绪。这种情绪我也有过，其实是一种急于想看到汉服兴盛起来的发泄罢了。但是，反感旗袍并不能导致汉服复兴。
    随着对中国服饰文化知识的增加，我意识到了旗袍的历史特殊性：旗袍产生于中国社会由传统社会急剧转为现代社会的几十年间，是细节受到满族服装影响的汉族传统服装（汉服的细节设计历来受到一些外族影响）经过逐渐西化后的改良服装，所以说，她是土生土长的中国的，汉族的（旗袍通常被叫做cheongsam,but not qipao）！
    同一时期的日本和韩国就没有产生旗袍这种过渡性服装，这是有原因的：以日本为例，日本的明治维新对西方的生活方式产生的主动拥抱的态度，民众被鼓励穿西洋服装；而这样积极西化的态度那时的中国并没有出现过。对着装风格更为保守的中国人民采取的便是将传统服装进行改良的方式来逐渐西化的。
    汉服和旗袍都是中国人民智慧的结晶，她们只不过代表了中国社会的不同阶段。
    哦，还有，类似于“旗袍原本是满族妇女的传统服装”本来就是一个过于概括的定义，可能并不准确。服装文化之间的相互影响是非常复杂的过程，不能但从字面上推断其源头，虽然我们已经习惯叫她旗袍。袍在中国几千年的着装习惯中一直都存在，旗袍的立领也是很早就存在的mandarin collar.满族传统服装是没有这种立领的。

I learned how to use the software from my senior during a cca session. he taught us some very basic stuff for 30 min then ask us to do a 40 sec sample. I was soo excited so I did it right after i went back to my room...then..after abt 7 hrs exploration of the software, the short sound clip was out! i thot it wld be a bit dry if i upload the music only so I borrowed 'the inner life of the cell' make by Harvard university's Biovisions team. thanks to Biovisions.haha,I'm a life science student~~and, i like electron music!(i once thot if art is still art if it becomes so easily produced by anyone,lose the senses of improvise, talents and inaccessibility. but, who said art is born expensive?well civilizations and arts are born out of us grass root people. the seeking of perfection is another issue about human beings'obsessive compulsive behavior ~ haha! =D) yes im a pretty wordy person.hope you enjoy it!

maybe the university should provide more residencies? maybe hostels outside campus, and it doesn't really matter if it's a bit more expensive. and more importantly, the university should try to TELL students there're other options besides living on campus, or International students like me can be really scared off, cuz we only either lived in home or school hostels before. therefore some students join 5,6 CCAs with very bad attitudes (skipping, not showing up etc.), ends up that ppl like me have to wait for extra time for meetings and take extra work for tasks. but I understand them: they need to stay on campus to save time on transportation and meals, and they can stay in libraries to study until libraries close, then they can struggle to maintain the minimum CCA points required for their scholarships. My situation is a bit different from them: I participate in CCA activities with real passions, and I don't care about CCA points THAT much; but, I find that not every hour of mine in CCA activities is well spent; and, I'm a curious person, I REALLY needs a lot, lot more time to pursue my life sciences related knowledge, and to have a supper with my friends that I haven't meet since the semester began--we are both too busy to make a walk from Temasek to KE.
