资本注意

补裤子修鞋子钉皮带

再一次验证了资本主义机器社会的罪恶

补一个裤子洞 -- 15刀 ---裤子120刀 -- 修理价占原价的12.5% -- 修八次可以买一条裤子

修一个鞋子搭配 -- 10刀(原价12刀) -- 鞋子30刀 -- 修理价占原价的33.3% -- 修三次可以买一双鞋子

皮带加钉几个洞再剪掉一点 -- 5刀(原价7刀) -- 皮带16刀 -- 修理价占原价的31.25% -- 修三次可以买一条皮带

想当年在国内去西门菜场修鞋子 5块人民币包你满意

楼下裁缝店打个补丁 2块人民币包你服帖

皮带打几个洞表钱

罪恶的资本主义

我的钱就是这样没有的...

于是一边走一边吃一个1000g的希腊酸奶

SAKURA

东大的樱花太少

谢谢摄影师DANIEL^^

中午我们组答辩就结束了,午饭时间,三明治运到教室以后,大家拿了吃的就全部消失了.开始以为就在外面的餐厅,结果发现餐厅也米人.原来今天天气太好,全部上楼晒太阳去了. 好吧,我这个最想在太阳底下打伞的人只好跟着上楼晒太阳.在太阳底下吃鸡肉三明治,正对着太阳,睁不开眼睛了. 突然想起爸妈跟我说的, 很久很久以前,有一个小保姆带我, 可是她不太会带, 比如想让我睡觉, 就把我对准太阳, 一晃眼我就睁不开眼睛,然后就睡着了,爸爸妈妈心疼我,就不让小保姆带了.....吃完三明治,一帮人说还有40分钟要去HAWANA CENTRAL喝酒,只好跟着去.下午所有组的答辩都结束,回家路上碰到几个同学,又说去HEIGHTS喝酒,又被拉去,不一会,发现一年级的学生都来了,还有一些两年级的,简直就变成规划同学包场. 晚上DANNI同学又请客吃饭,熙熙攘攘来了14个客人,又开喝.后工作室时代第一天喝了三顿,疯掉了.可惜我还有:

一个HOUSING FINAL PAPER

两个HOUSING SMALL PAPER

一个PHYSICAL STRUCTURE GROUP PROJECT

一个PHYSICAL STRUCTURE FINAL EXAM

一个PUBLIC FINANCING GROUP PROJECT

一个PUBLIC FINANCING FINAL PAPER

一个DIGITAL DESIGN FINAL PROJECT

....

好汗啊...全部要在5月初完成的...休息一天不能再休息了.... 啊啊啊...

subject		Response to "boycotting the Beijing Olympics"
mailed-by		gmail.com

Hi guys,

This is my second response to one of the idiots who created a facebook group called "boycotting the Beijing Olympics." After seeing his group 'invitation,' I wrote my first response on his wall (but I removed him from my friend list soon after, so now Im unable to see what I wrote, haha, but it was a little emotional anyways, so it's ok if you don't read that part)... The following is what he replied me this morning, and my response to him....

WB (American):

I know they're a totalitarian regime that imprisons journalists who speak their mind. Shi Tao and others are rotting in prison cells.

The people of China deserve freedom. And it starts with us standing up and saying it.

SSQ (American-Chinese):

First of all, China is not a monolithic totalitarian regime. I grew up both in China and the U.S., and so I can speak from my experiences, knowing full well the definition of "a totalitarian regime" from my U.S. education. There is no equivalence between China and a totalitarian regime any more than say countless of one-party dominated countries that the US allies itself with or had done so for years (eg, Mexico, Jordan, Italy, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc., and not to mention almost all of Africa). It is way too simplistic to designate such a large country (in terms of geographic size/ethnicities/population, etc.) as having a derogatory political system, rather than see it as an early stage progressive step towards a multi-party democracy. For one thing, once you associate the term totalitarian regime with the example of China, you automatically associate that everything is bad within China. That not only is very arbitrary and judgmental, but it is also not true. The two most blatantly capitalistic countries on the planet, are the formerly "communistic" ones, Russia and China. Admittedly they still are dominant-one party states, but they both are affording relatively much higher standards of living, and the associated benefits being provided to its people. Eventually the politics will evolve to allow the political freedoms that we take for granted here in the west, but not until their economies stabilize and the people themselves demand it. Very different from the current U.S. where has reached to a stable economical level, demands and primary needs of Chinese people are economic and not politic and having just emerged in the last 50 years or less from an almost feudal existence, it is not to be expected that they can become what took us hundreds of years to do here in the west. At present with the internet and World wide communications and exposures, there will be little that can be done to hide people from democratic benefits. Keep in mind that our US democracy was not freedom for all for our first almost 200 years (if you were a woman, native American, or African American). China has more freedom today than any time in its existence.

Second, I don't think boycotting the Olympic games is the best way of achieving what you are trying to achieve, for a concept such as "freedom," or "human rights." You can actually think the other way round - that the Olympics proves that China (both at the government level and level of average Chinese people) is trying very hard to open itself up to the rest of the world in a way to show off their progress. They are in the process of learning and negotiating with itself and with others. Why wouldn't we want to allow this process and encourage China to improve in a more appreciative and positive as well as progressive way? Why must we take belligerent action, and have to be reactive in the extreme, and in a sudden manner such as to boycott an apolitical sporting event? "Boycotting" in fact is more an arbitrary totalitarian-like action, if you think carefully about it -- we did not even boycott the "Nazi" Olympic games of 1936 when Jews and socialists were being put to death.

Thirdly, have you thought through about, if the event was boycotted, what damage it would create for the 1.4 billion people there? It would polarize them away from Westerners and set back whatever gains we made to encourage democratization in the last 10 years. That is would be like taking away the freedom of Chinese people, to show us their country and its progress and to place them among nations equally who have hosted such games. It is the people in China who wanted the Olympic games more than the government did. Chinese people want to stand up in the world proudly, and not feel coerced by Western countries anymore, (Most of us in the west do not know this part of the history and how badly western countries treated China and Chinese people in the past centuries, the Chinese know it well!!)

A totalitarian regime is only an interpretation made in political-science books. In reality, China and its people work in a functioning government in a way that they never enjoyed before, whose people and government is trying to adapt to the most current progress and to deal with issues of the welfare of its people, like us. It might appear to us to be like a totalitarian state that they and Russia once was in history, but one would have to see this in context and realize that there has been great progress in the leadership in China, and the ones in charge now are not only much younger, smarter and more open than those who came before and are looking after its people better than before.

We in the West need to rethink our overall knowledge of China, with respect to Chinese history, and try and see the Chinese people's perspective on this. I might say we in the US have been brainwashed a bit here. The definition of communism, moreover, is not totally correct as applied to China and as we use it here (it is much too generalized and has a definite bias view), especially as it is applied to a particular nations, at a particular historical moment in their development. Chinese communism had it's own characteristic and history; it enabled China to emerge from an ancient feudal oligarchy, in a big way, and it has transformed itself into a current functional capitalistic "pleurocracy" with modernistic perspectives and goals. Ultimately, in short time (compared to us) it will emerge into a genuine multi-party system, but it has to do it in its own way, and at its own rate, without western interference, which would hinder its progress. It must emerge from the Chinese people and it will if given encouragement and advice and cooperative ventures as was happening. Let us not reverse such progress by polarizing or isolating the people of China, as a boycott would have us do.

I think we need to focus more about the U.S. a bit more, and maybe we can take better constructive actions about totalitarian practices here and elsewhere. Sarcastically speaking, a boycotting action would have a lot of unfavorable repercussions, similar to Bush's overreaction with Iraq. Invade it, remove the dictator and after bombing it, then that country will have its freedom, and their people will also like us for it! That heavy handed action certainly doesn't work well! Let us learn from our mistakes, not repeat them -- by polarizing people and making them despise us.

(and this should be titled "don't fxxx with my motherland")

Grad Student Fleeing Mugging Killed by Car

By Daniel Amzallag, Alexander Peacocke and Alix Pianin

PUBLISHED APRIL 5, 2008

Minghui Yu, a student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, was hit by a car after fleeing an attempted mugging Friday night and subsequently died at St. Luke's Hospital.

According to the New York Police Department, the 24-year-old was struck by an SUV on the west side of Broadway between 121st and 122nd streets at around 8:50 p.m. Friday night, and was suspected by responding officers to have been the victim of a robbery.

Yu was taken from the scene in critical condition by emergency medical services to St. Luke's Hospital, where he died from severe head trauma, police and public safety officials said.

"It's very sad," associate vice president for public safety James McShane said, adding that "we're not calling this a robbery," due to an absence of supporting facts.

The victim's assailants, described as two black males, fled the scene after "attempt[ing] to remove property from the victim by force" and are still at large, a police report said. The driver of the vehicle stopped immediately after hitting Yu, and police said no criminality is suspected of the driver.

"I heard a thud. I came to the gate, looked across the street, saw a commotion ... I saw the guy laying there." said John Stathus at the scene Friday night, who said he witnessed the incident.

Police kept Broadway from 120th to 122nd streets cornered off through early Saturday morning. A pair of sneakers and a bag were visible in the road on 122nd street Friday night, and some witnesses said they saw pools of blood on the road.

Yu was a PhD candidate in statistics at GSAS and a statistics teaching fellow. A native of China and a graduate of the University of Science and Technology of China, Yu was a Department Chair for the Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association.

Message from President Lee C. Bollinger

University Mourns Loss of PhD Student Minghui Yu

Dear Members of the Columbia Community:

I am writing to share very sad news about one of our graduate students.

Last night a PhD student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Minghui Yu, was struck by an automobile two blocks north of our main campus at 122nd Street and Broadway while he was apparently fleeing an attempted robbery on the sidewalk. The student was taken to St. Luke's Hospital but passed away as a result of the severe injuries he had sustained.

An NYPD investigation is underway and is being supported by the University's Department of Public Safety which, last night following university procedures, circulated an alert to student affairs deans at all of our schools with information about possible suspects in the attempted robbery.

As a community we mourn the loss of one of our members, and especially of a young person with much to look forward to in a life of promise. The University's counseling services are available to anyone who feels he or she could benefit from expert support in response to this deeply sad event. Please do not hesitate to visit Counseling and Psychological Services on the 8th floor of Lerner Hall today from 1-5 p.m., or call at any time 212-854-2878 if you feel such assistance would be helpful to you.

While incidents of crime have been significantly reduced in New York over recent decades, and the area of Morningside Heights is within one of the safest precincts in the city, it is nevertheless imperative that we all take reasonable precautions appropriate to life in a large metropolitan environment. Our Department of Public Safety has worked closely with the NYPD in safeguarding members of our University Community and offers a range of services – including safety escorts, evening shuttle buses and directed patrols – that help ensure students, faculty and staff can both be, and feel, secure while living, studying and working here. We constantly review and seek to improve public safety operations. If you would like more information on these services, go to: www.columbia.edu/cu/publicsafety, or call 212-854-2797.

The family of the graduate student has been notified. We will begin plans for a memorial event on campus. For today, I know we are united as a community in mourning the tragic loss of a young life.

生命如此脆弱

10点多赶去明辉住的公寓楼,今天的阳光很好，可是我感觉不到.

白天看似光鲜的纽约,夜晚成了罪恶孳生的源头

纽约从没像现在这样让我感到恐惧

事故发生在百老汇和122街

我每周两天要去125街和百老汇上班所有的项目都在HARLEM 经常去那里调研

也许真的像巴别塔里一个很DECENT的黑人跟一个混混黑人说的

你在给自己丢脸

nydailynews上看到一些人的评论有的上升到种族说老黑的问题我不敢说我有歧视但是这个时候我真的很讨厌他们

据说是3个十几岁的黑人男孩

小时候都这么让人恐怖长大后还不是什么都敢干

抢钱也就算了为什么还要打人

以前学生会还有一位同学被黑人小孩打到脸肿

明辉不会那么傻不给你们钱抢了钱就算了还要干什么!!!

还有百老汇在120街以上的车

为什么永远永远都要开那么快好象发疯了一样城市中难道没有限速的么??!!

美国的手机信号赶紧让中国移动吞并算了

信号永远这么差一个电话打几分钟就短

一到学校楼里就没有信号

如果学校发生枪击连个电话都打不出去

哥大的治安有没有搞错!!?

上次还找个保安部头头来讲虚拟抢击案

人家上来第一句话就是这个事情一般不会发生在纽约的校园里学校的警察没有抢不过纽约警察会第一时间赶到

简直狗P 那么校园警察要来干吗的? 穿个靴子拿个棒子装装样子的?

难怪YIFENG要告诉我哥大墙上都是子弹孔说是太恐怖

纽约纽约太多事了

明辉你在天堂会幸福的
