POPSWho's the web killer? I'm still not sure about that if it really be blocked at all. What I'm sure is that some of my friends and I cant access the site. And I suggest in the next version of Windows, Vista, Microsoft should put an auto startup proxy service like Tor in, because I’m afraid one day when they block everything, we Chinese have to surfing through proxy.

POPSElves in Chinese folklore They're top 10 widely spreadly elves in Chinese folklore,sorry it's too hard to translate their names to English,but the Chinese names are bellow: 狐仙(Fox spirits),龙女,夜叉(Yaksha),判官,牛头(Ox heads),马面(horse faces ),二郎(Erlang Shen ),七郎,刑天(Xing Tian),辟邪 I hope I can have time and ability to do some short description to each of them.There's already have a detailed list about Chinese mythology on Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mythology), most of them have well described,but I think have some pictures will make more sense. ;)

POPS"Not Buy House" Movement been banned People in big cities works a whole life,just for their own apartments.Furthermore, in China,when we say "buy a house",what we mean is buy the ownership for 70 years,after that the house has to give back to government.That's the policy.

POPSA week-long Labor Day holiday in China These're two photos which have been taken at a beach of Shenzhen,China. In China,there're 3 week-long holidays,which are Spring Festival Holiday,Labor Day Holiday and National Day Holiday.Actually,execpt Spring Festival,the others are just 3 days length each,but we put 2 weekends together so that there's a 7 days length holiday. As you know,China has about 1.4 billions people,many of them have no money for travelling abroad.So problem comes,1.4 billions people,spend their week-long holidays at a same time.Tourism sites are full of people.Just like what my friend said,we cant see any landscapes,what we can see are just menscapes. I still cant understand this policy.Some economists said this may promote consumption and enlarge domesitic demand.but the whole country has holidays at a same time,I think this will also increase accidents and make shortage of resources,why dont we arrange a staggered time for each department?or for each kind of job?

POPSDust blankets Beijing Most Beijingers woke up on Monday to find,to their surprise,that a "yellow blanket"has covered up everything in the open air:from window sills,cars and the ground to every single leaf on the trees. A sandstorm hitting the China-Mongolia border Saturday and Sunday started to affect Beijing at midnight on Sunday.China's far west and north has been hit by sandstorm in decades,I'm really afraid that there'll be a sandstorm during 2008,Olympic in Beijing.

POPSIs English that important China is probably one of the few countries in the world where learning English has almost become a national obsession. However, most people cost much but gain little. Our teaching and test systems have deviated from the initial purpose of English learning in that it teaches and encourages elite English instead of practical one. Beneficiaries are limited to those who intend to study overseas. Yet, to the millions who have little use of the language, it is a great waste of time, energy and resources. What's more outrageous is that the importance of English skills has been exaggerated to the extent that it overweighs almost everything in assessing a person's competency. Learning a language is, in a sense, a study of the culture on which the language is based. In that light, we should put more emphasis on learning Chinese than on English.We're losing somthing traditional and basal.

POPSGovernment Car caused a terrible accident(4 persons died,22 injured) There's a terrible accident in Kunming,Yunnan province,China. According to Kunming Police Department deputy Su zhizhong said,about 19:50 on 25th,Feb,a black car broke traffic rule to turned left on crossing of Beijing Avenue and Dongfeng Avenue,two trunk avenues in city center.After hit two pedestrians,the car lost control and rammed the crowd on a bus station,crossing sidewalks,which made more people be run down. 4 persons died,22 were injured in the accident so far.Car licence:AA6045,show that it's owned by local government.Official deputy said person be arrested is just a driver of government. But some witnesses saw one more person in the car,people suppose that he is a dignitary,because no one dare to break traffic rule overtly at such a time(7:50pm),in such a place(city center) where're many traffic cops around,except dignitaries of government. Anyway this is just a "guess",we cant get more details because it's said that all local media is not allowed to report this now.
