When China can really grow up?

China's history during 1840 to 1949 is full of shame and oppress.
On June 28 1840, the First Opium War between China and Britain broke out since some of the officials from government banned opium in certain part of China . The war continued until August 1842. The result was the come up of Nanjing Treaty in which it declared that HongKong was part of Britain and China should pay Britain 21million yuan.
On October 1856, the Second Opium War between China and the unite army from Britain and France broke out because some evil countries wanted to get more benefits from China. The war continued until 1860. The result was another unfair treaty named Tianjing Treaty. Of course according the treaty the Chinese government had to paid a lot of gold and silver and gave those countries rights of several cities. The most horrible thing was not just the treaty. The enemies did kinds of bad things which were incredible for human beings to think of and they robbed and burned the YuanMing Park which was full of treasures and jewelries.
On July 4 1871, Russia invaded YiLi and killed lots of local people and individually declared that it was their land forever. On October 31 1871,Beijing Treaty between China and Japan was formed. On 1876, Yantai Treaty was formed. On April 17 1895, Maguan Treaty between China and Japan was formed. On September 7 1901, Xinchou Treaty was formed.
I cannot write down more treaties any more although there are still a lot which were all unfair. It is definitely correct to say that Chinese people were robbed and oppressed by others for centuries.
Until 1949, the new Chinese government was founded and Chair Mao announced that Chinese people have stood up. However, do Chinese people really stand up since 1949. In 1950, American army invaded north Korean and threatened the new formed Chinese government since China and north Korean were separated by just a river. So the People's Army went to north Korean to fought the American. In 1962, the war between China and India broke out in southwestern part of China. India got a lot support from two super countries at that time. From 1950 until 1985, the relationship between China and Russia was deteriorated. The two countries put millions army in the border. The war may break out at any time. Although China mainland was unified, Taiwan had not been unified for half a century already. The Xizang independence problem had not yet been solved. The Europeans and American tried every efforts to prevent China to become one of the most powerful countries in the world. They spread the ridiculous message that China is a threat. So whenever China did some activity with high technology, they told the world that China was doing something bad. I don't understand why they don't allow others to do it except themselves. Japan was even more cheeky. Not only the Japanese government didn't confess the sin, but also the Japanese government always tried to hide the truth and cheat their people. What makes feel uncomfortable is that why other countries would like to be so ironhearted to a country with a history full of unfairness.
Maybe the world is just like that. There is no love between different countries. Sometimes they do good things just is because they want to be known as kind or for their own interest. The only way to gain respect is be more powerful and much stronger. I'm waiting for that day to come!

How can we achieve life-long happiness


People had been looking for true happiness since the day they realized their existence in the world. However, happiness is a kind of temporary reaction from nerve impulse. It is impossible to keep happy for your entire life unless you are sick because of the infection of certain virus. But what I'm going to talk here is not the real happiness defined by scientist. It is an inner state of what people feel. So how can we achieve life-long happiness?

To answer the question, we must find the reasons why people are not happy and happy. The reason for unhappiness is that there are too many things that we are not able to control and out of our expectation. The reason for unhappiness is that we haven't realized that there is always a choice for us to choose. The reason for unhappiness is that people make themselves despair and think more about the bad size but ignore the bright size. The reason people are happy is that people feel satisfied and comfortable about what happened around them and what happened to them. The reason people are happy is that they find they achieve or get what others cannot achieve or get. It may be a target or object.The reason people are happy is that they make themselves special and different from others. It it a kind of self value realization or identify. After aware of these reasons, it is not impossible for us to keep happy everyday. Actually we can simply keep a good inner state to achieve life-long happiness. Then how can we keep a good state everyday? That's most important part.

To keep a good state, firstly, we need to improve our knowledge. This knowledge needs not be scientific. It can also be common and even just the facts happened around us. secondly, we need to have a good living environment which is very important and affects a lot. It is obvious that if we lived in a country where wars, floods, droughts, starvation happen frequently, we cannot concentrate ourselves just on our individual life though it is also quite tough. Third, we should always be able to think about the bright size more than the dark size. Finally, we should know when to be satisfied. Most of the people who are not happy is just because they never feel satisfied. They always want more or more perfect. In fact is is themselves who make them unhappy. The only thing we should always remember is that: always keep a good inner state.

AI


Yesterday I watched a movie named "AI" directed by Steven Spielberg in 2001. It is quite a good movie. I was moved by the little robot named David who longs to become "real" so that he can regain the love from his human mother. He believed that the Blue fairy who exited in the fairy tale his mother told him could make him become real. So he tried his best to find Blue fairy with the help of another robot and his toy robot Tady. However, he failed because fairy tale was not true. Finally he found the statue of Blue fairy under the water and prayed to Blue fairy for thousands of years until he was short of charge and was freezed. The astonishing thing is that human beings had extincted after 2000 years. David was waked up by the new masters of Earth who look quite cute and thin. They were quite interested with human beings and surprised by the human culture,technology, and civilization. They got a lot of important information from David about human beings and they wanted to make him happy. So they promised to make his mother alive but only for one day. The reason for that is once an individual space time pass way has been used, it could not be reused. Anyway, David lived one day with his mother without anyone else which became the most happy day of his entire life. The story end with the sleep of David and his mother together. But my thinking has not stopped. I was wondering whether it was possible that the Earth's master is a kind of cycling replacement, which means that every civilization has a cycle. Human beings invented robot and were replaced by robot. Then robot tried bring human beings back and again were replaced by human beings. It is a kind of cycling loop until the end of the day. Although I mentioned robot here, I did not mean that it was definitely robot rather than other creatures. I find it is quite interesting to think like that. But the most interesting issue to me is the word mentioned in the movie that once an individual space time pass way has been used,it could not be reused. It really makes me a kind of confused but also makes me thinks a lot. I really want to know that whether the past can be bring back into present or even future and where is the lost information goes to and becomes what kind of state, energy or mass, or other kind of state which is not found yet. The world is really full of unknown.
