Pei Ling,

That was hilarious, with the background drone of "bubbada-bubbada-bubbada ..."

From the looks of it, the million-dollar houses in Silicon Valley could probably fetch $40,000 here in Austin. And then you'd likely have to worry about getting bids.

That also reminds me of this article I've read a couple of days ago about generational warfare. I don't necessarily agree with everything the author says, but I think it's worth a read.

说实话, 那么小的房子在差不多点的社区很难看到. 像 Yueyin 以前秀过的 (咱也时髦一下) $200 ~$250K 可以在挺好的社区买到很像样的房子, 都在 2000 sq. ft 以上.

BTW, Pei Ling, indeed I was exaggerating overall, but not if specifically referencing that "doll house" pictured in the video that was priced at $995,000(shown around 02:03). That one definitely won't even fetch $40,000 here in Austin.

说来话长 Dec 27, 2007

文章里有那么一句话:
This is not enough, but it is not insignificant, either.


中国的迅速发展是否会造成更严重的失衡,那得看获益的那些人是否也愿意付出他们应付出的代价:照顾那些跟不上发展的人。这是一件不容易的事,因为获益的人总希望获益更多。要解说如何解决问题,恐怕不是发明几个政治口号就完结。短短的生命里,还要思考那些问题,似乎不比逃离问题来得轻松些。所以啦,说来话长,还是不说的好。

Zhoudan,

My guess you mean the comment posted by JustinHe on the 26th? There's another post made by someone with the moniker of yin-yang on the 22nd that mostly commented on making cheap consumer products.

As could be seen in many of the other comments, those with little or no knowledge of China still tend to look at China and its government as a solid, indivisible entity - or using Churchill's famous words of describing the then Soviet Union, "...a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" - while the average Chinese citizen living there probably has a very different view of the country and the authority.

我让Zhoudan和平的屋子里,有了一点硝烟的味道 Jan 5, 2008

我常常想,对外关系是什?有的时候就觉得是国与国之间以国家利益的名义做争权夺利、甚至卑鄙无耻或者犯罪的勾当。个人的行为可以用道德、人性、良心、廉耻等去拷问,国家的行为呢?经常也看到“国际社会”这个非常笼统而又模糊的词,却不知道它代表了谁,谁在代行权力和承担义务。看历史上一些外交活动,曾经偷偷地想,要是能学一鳞半爪说不定也玩得转了。不过小女子的脑袋对于这些东西有过滤作用,滤去了气度,留下了平庸。:D

政治离我们平头百姓很远,但支配着我们的生活。然而我们只能跟着太阳的起落生活,求一个平安无事。
