Day 10 - More History

Woke up at 8 and could not get breakfast as it was raining. Did I mention that the temperature also dropped to almost the same degree as the first day we been here. After my bath, I packed my clothing's for laundry.

I bought it to the store and the auntie there was like, "Wahh! So many. So I ended up paying 15 yuan because had to split the clothes load.

Went to class under an umbrella and still turned out to be the earliest again. After placing my umbrella to dry at the back, I opened the windows and was hit by the cold breeze as I took the pictures.
From the 7th floor, the view is really beautiful. Artistic?
The city life. Urban jungle as far as my eye can see.

Mr Wong conducting lessons on the white board for the first time. Wait! Not even our lessons. More like on the Three Gorges (三峡). And to be honest, his drawing is really my standard of drawing. Sorry.

Somehow, it got linked to Physics. The Dam that has water with potential energy and releasing it will result in kinetic energy that will turn the turbines to generate power. Thanks...

And, for lunch. went to the back alley to 打包(take-away) the 刀削面(noodles) and bought some (肉包)buns as well.

I was so clumsy that I nearly tripped over a ledge and spilled the soup contents on the floor and my pants. Looks like this pair of jeans is going to the laundry when I return.

Who says it's wrong to eat in class? But, I was starving as it is.

On to the IS lessons. History Part 2...

Maritime Silk Road. At first, I did not know what this picture is about. Then, upon closer inspection, I finally saw two boats on the banners on the sea (people)...

Ladies and Gentleman, Zee Min fell asleep and I managed to take this picture of her. After looking at this picture, she remarked, "I look like a 大头娃娃 (Big headed doll)"

The last emperor Pu Yi.

China as we know today, is surrounded by around 14 other countries.

Chairman Mao's calligraphy. He's a man of various talent.

A poem composed by Mao Zedong. Reading the English translation, I came to understand that chairman Mao is a rather poetic soul. The original version in Chinese is rather difficult for me to comprehend.

Another of his Great Works. After reading the translation alone, I felt like Chairman Mao was inspired by the beauty of nature as well as historical lectures.

As I intend to learn more about the Arts in China, I felt really inspired and full of praise for Mao Zedong.

Maoism= The Way of Mao. China people are all impressed and follow his thinking along with the little red book.

Dengism=Deng Xiao Ping's Theory.

The difference between Chairman Mao and Deng Xiao Ping is their ideology. Mao Zedong focuses on the needs of the people while Deng Xiao Ping focuses more on China's economy and stability.

Religion Time! Confucius (confusion next) has many quotes including, the above 3.

This relatively a funny conversation. Good command of English may be best in understanding the whole thing.
