不是我想当大妈，给咱们学校摸黑。两年前CFC上有个孩子说想找人给他介绍个女朋友，我跟帖说我给你介绍一个吧，这个坏孩子说不能在渥太华找，渥太华的女生不是大妈就是恐龙，我气不过，说大妈我再也不管你了。结果这个称呼就被根深蒂固地用到现在。我真冤啊。以后见到101的，千万别说89届出了个大妈。
我们这儿一位老哥，在美加闯荡十多年，最近刚回北京休养（也不是第一次回，但可能是好久没回去了），发来一封Email... 蛮有趣

Good day man, some thought since I came back Beijing and my new life might start off from this point.
It's so damn right that everybody has their own orbit of life, especially when he or she is at some certain ages. Ever noticed the fact when you met a friend long time no seeing, you actually expecting something happened to him out of your expectation like, he would have been changed so much, wiser, more learned, humbler, richer or less talking so and so. Nothing wrong with this sort of delusions about our friends, we all want our friends to be rich and famous, we all want to be somebody, and before that we all want to be somebody's friend of rich and famous.
I don't know what I am talking about right now; just have a feeling since I came back Beijing. A lot of things changed about this city that I don't really care. A city is just a city, a place made of streets and buildings, restaurants and parks. Clean rivers and green mountains used to be part of this city. Whatever I don't really care about all these. What I really care now is people, and the people related to my life.
It wouldn't surprise you if somebody tells you that he is so busy in China. I've been aware of this situation since I came back. So if I want to meet somebody, friends or not, at the moment you were calling him/her, he/she's always in the middle of something. Which leaves me an impression that if a person in China who is not claimed of busyness, he must be a dead man. I mean who the hell of like to make a friend of dead man.
I am a "dead" man. At this moment I am the only one who is not busy, and I am the only man in the street wandering for the street view only. I am the only man at large without engaged into any business. How I adore the businessperson with their cell phone ringing all the time to bother him, and I adore the expression of the face and the shrunk of the shoulders about his helplessness of this cell phone harassment. From the bottom of my heart, I don't really want a life like the one they for years created and nurtured, and I don't like the way they complain about how so busy they are that don't have time to share with friends and family. I can tell that there is something wrong there but I just can't say how or what, because everybody is like that.
Damn hard for me to make a life today in Beijing, I doubt if I should rush into an airplane to Canada. To tell you the truth, though not assured yet, my Chinese is handicapped and make no sense to nobody that I was a Beijinger and hard to sell any part of myself to anybody. Am I so depressed and rejected? No body buy nothing of mine? And if you were a salesperson, what would you think about yourself.
What is my orbit of life? Do I have one or not? Where is the true north of my life? Are we talking about fate or destiny or something too big to handle with?
It is too big topics for me, many years living in the small town London Ontario, peacefully and quietly. All I have gone through were tiny-tinny little things around this city. Small group of people, small buildings, small business, small parties, small rivers of rock bed run through it, small dishes and small bottles of beers, and a small holy bible book in my pocket all the time. So my heart was small, capable of thinking out small details of small subjects. And suddenly, so vague I can hardly see things through. Life is funny. It brought me back a feeling of many years ago, when the first time I was in America, a blind, deaf and dump tried to make a fortune but lost in the translation. I am doing this stupid circle of life again.
Well, One thing I can see in today's Beijing, it has everything, materially everything, the market there is so huge, (I don't think there is a word like "huger" other than huge) I lost in a computer hardware mall and a supermarket, and a Future Shop like store, only because the size of them are too huge.
Ever heard a DVD disk contains of 7 DVD movies? Yeah, Seven! Think about it, you got all your favorite movies like "Forrest Gump", "Scent of a woman", "Casablanca", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Dumb and Dumber", "Jerry McGuire", "Start Wars" or "E.T." and all seven of them into one single disk, and it plays so normal by using a new format of DVD player or a MP4 thing. How much the cost? Ignore it, so cheap that nobody never care.
See the hotels in Beijing? Man! Five or six stars, daily rate from $125 US up for the room and $10 US for a cup of fine green tea. McDonald breakfast? You bet, for 12RMB you got a burger, potato brown and coffee (refillable). And want to spin around somewhere of the city? Sure, the cab can take you anywhere from anywhere for a low cost as well, and a picky person asking about the service? Won't disappoint you today, completely international standard.
What? The environment? Too dirty? No blue sky? No rain? No clean water? Terrible traffic? Sucky rude people? Want to go fishing out of town Saturday morning? Hard to meet somebody like me to swap their life stories?
Are you out of your mind? What kind of a fault person you are?!
Gosh I miss Canada.

Damn! Your buddy told exactly the dirty truth! This is really my feeling on the other side.
For my friends in Beijing, I can't expect them understanding what I am talking about while I mention the peaceful life in Ontario or the white tail deers in early spring that might also eat the tulip you plant. They might say you are just living in a place suitable for the retired guys. However what they want is to fight in the battlefield.
Want to be a busy soldier striving every where? Then go back.
Want to lead a quiet but sweet life? Care more about humanity, family and you life quality? Dear friend, I do not think you want to push your wife and son there. Please, STAY HERE!
(My pictures just show you where you can find out the beautiful things from the environment point of view. Please don't be misled. The decision is always made by yourself.)

很cute, 一听就知道是我们中学，又因为坐落在圆明园里，别的学校的孩子还喜欢说我们上的是遗址中学呢。
对教室的后排有什么印象呢？对了，生物课时班上分到两只兔子，我们不舍得把它们全解剖，就求老师留了只漂亮的。教室后面成了兔子窝，养过兔子的人知道，那种味道......嘿嘿。可怜的兔子没呆多久，某天物理课的时候窜出砖垒的窝，后排同学全体起身沿着教室墙根追赶，课堂秩序大乱。后来兔子的下场是被一个家住农村的同学抱走了。
提起生物课，有一回更绝，老师让同学们解剖青蛙，将青蛙心脏取出，看心脏如何还能靠植物神经继续保持跳动。我们那一脑子坏水儿的体委，手捧一颗青蛙心脏，猛一转身，对身后一女生大喝一声，女生当即栽倒在地，口吐白沫。天哪，那个女生原来有颁茄！好好的一堂解剖课演变成了悲惨的急救课。女生大学毕业后也随老公去福建了。
忘了我以前有没有讲过这些故事，只是它们时时出现在脑海，挥之不去。All too few, gone too fast... 太多人和事，已一去不回。
