This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

Anticipating drastic changes of the societial and familial roles of women vis-a-vis men
It seems very likely that women and men are going to experience an extended period of drastically profound but sometimes subtle changes in their expected relative societal roles and familial roles, in the light of the upcoming knowledge economy.
English fluency vis-a-vis English proficiency
If you are a Chinese, then you probably know that Chinese fluency does not equal to Chinese proficiency. And, in a similar sense, English fluency is not the same thing as English proficiency.
Nuptial flee

The clan is in a long practiced bustle
For the patriarchally arranged nuptials
It is like a bitter potion you hate
So you choose the route of fleeing
If individual will were not flushed down
By that of super power familial figures
Elopes would not be a worn theme in old movies
You used to watch in those atmospheric nights
