Your Opinion about French Revolution I'm not going to comment about the possible similarities between the French revolution and the Chinese cultural revolution. This topic is way too complex for me and I don't know much about the Chinese one anyway. In fact I just wanted to say how admirable I think it is to react the way you do ("seek first to understand before seek to be understood")... Clearly you're a wise person Jian Shuo Wang. Now since I'm here I'd like to share something I'd like more people to remember of; In 2004, special celebrations of the Chinese New Year occured in Paris... During 5 days, even the Eiffel tower was illuminated in red to remind everybody of China! See this page about most of the special illuminations of the tower : http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/fr/documentation/dossiers/page/illuminations.html This one is less "official" but shows bigger pics: http://www.broguiere.com/rouge/ A last one: http://photoenligne.free.fr/ParisVII/TourEiffel/N4486.jpg It reminds me of the time I was studying and dreaming of coming in China someday... I thought I could enjoy this friendly relationship between our countries, and 4 years later, this is still what I was thinking as I was flying to Shanghai, so excited about being about to begin my first real job in China. A few months after, I feel very uncomfortable when people ask me where I'm from and I don't even know if our young company will survive these "troubles"... Sad. |

Maglev Extends 2 Hours? Hey, Thank you for all your useful informations, but there's one I couldn't find: does the maglev operate everyday, including Saturdays and Sundays? If yes, is it the same timetable as other days? Thank you |
