Hi Pln, Ha...spiritual and physical.LOL.No others?? OH~OH~OH~ it's not difficult.I can be here few years latter.Maybe,I should buy a ticket and come now.LOL
Really?! I was born on the same day as Confucius was.That's geat!Are you sure??Also it's exactly the same as your elder sister.OH~DESTINY.It's my destiny to be a great person and a friend of you. Yeah.There is a huge generation between older and younger.The environment is so different.In 1990,when the older people is 20.The people in mainland is poor.They are struggle for survival.There are few sky-line and cars in mainland in China.and in 2010,when we are 20.There are no big difference between other modernization cities being in big city in china. However,The problem is they build the city under the ideas from oversee.Most of them don't even know where those things original from,such as sky-line,car,computer,elevator etc.So,they get used to copying a thing from developed countries and getting benefit.They don't need our fresh ideas but need execute their orders.That's a tragic for educated young.LOL Anyway,I think the situation is better when the world economy is down.The economy developed too quickly to digest.People is doing self-improving more when economic downturn. Um... you are young.and you are educated, intelligent and funny.There must be many people telling you that.I always hope that I can have a person like you to discuss things.LOL Lucky days to you and all Best Regards Charles On Sat, Jul 4, 2009 at 5:59 PM, John Awesome<[email protected]> wrote: > pln, Never thought about you are 43 years old, I do not think the style you > talk like a middle-aged woman. and the life always bring me surprise, my mum > collected all the works of Mr.Gulong? or Xiongyaohua, and my grand mun just > learned to send me SMS through cellphone. > The different between generations are natural problems, it is a little > difficult to understand what 90's have done.
