Three Cups of Tea

       I believe Three Cups of Tea is a life hero story. Greg Mortenson dedicated himself to education for poor childern in  Pakistan and Afghanistan. He have given himself everything to these children so that they can learn to read ，write， and attend school. He constantly inspired, motivate, and give the children the light of hope for the future. He left his wife and kids at home to work toward educating the children in a foreign country for their benefit, and for the benefit of the world. 

Chinese Wedding Ceremonies

         In recent years, Chinese wedding ceremonies have become much better than before. Some examples are lawn weddings, yacht weddings, ice weddings, and so on. The wedding planner will use the bride's and groom's ideas to help them plan wedding  ceremony, make them remember the beauty of the wedding. In such ceremonies, which are a recent innovation with no historic antecedent, the bride and groom  are dressed in traditional Chinese robes or wedding dressings. Before the bride and groom enter the nuptial chambers, they exchange golden rings and perform ceremonial bows as follows:

1. First bow - Heaven and Earth
2. Second bow - parents and parents in low
3. Third bow - spouse

         After the bride and groom perform the second bows,  their parents and parents in law will pay  red envelopes containing some money as gifts to them, and speak out their best wishes for them.

Journey to the West

         "Journey to the west" is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, which the novel is widely known as a monkey.The author of the book is Wu Cheng'en.The novel describes a story of the Tang dynasty buddhist monk Xuan Zang who traveled to the "Western Regions", that is India, to obtain sacred texts and returned after many trials and much suffering. The Buddha gave this task to the monk and provided him  three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, ang Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as Xuan Zang's steed, a white horse. The novel shows a colorful ghost world. Everyone who has read the novel was amazed by the rich and bold artistic imagination of the author.
 



The Forbidden City

       Are you going to Beijing? September and October are the best months to visit Beijing. The Forbidden City and the Tiananmen Square are the must-see places to visit in Beijing.

      The Forbidden City is the best preserved imperial palace in China, and the largest ancient palatial structure in the world. It is located in the centre of Beijing, China. It had served as the home of emperors and their households as well as political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.

 

     The Tiananmen Square, which is located to the south of the Forbidden City, is one of the largest, and the most remarkable public squares in the world.  You can visit the Monument to the People's Heroes, Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, and watch the national flag raising ceremony in the Tiananmen Square.
 

 

Third Language

       Arabic is another language I'd like to learn because my company have many big projects in Arab countries. So, learning Arabic mainly depends on my personal work needs and surroundings. That will help me very much in my job and travel. In this way, the people of Arab countries will have a good impression on me. Even if my speaking in Arabic is stuttered , they are still willing to help me. They know that I try to understand them, and they want to communicate with me. It will make them for me with special respect. Although my working language is mainly English and Chinese, leaning Arabic is really useful for my job and travel in the Arab world.

Traditional Jobs For Men And Women In China

           In China, jobs such as kindergarten teacher, nursing, accounting, and light manual jobs，are traditionally done by woman. Politics, armyman, fireman, truck driver, and heavy lifting type works are traditionally done by man.  Althrough some jobs straditionally  done by man  can also be done by woman today,  many jobs still exceed women's physical limits. I don't think the situation is changing today, because the fact can't be changed, which women are different from men, and  they differ in capabilities as well.
