Her nephew comes to Shanghai for a visit and --one thing leads to another--this woman with a college degree is scammed out of her life savings.

That is why aunt in the movie returned Shanghai without hesitate. However, life in Shang...

I've come to an unfortunate realization: what I do with my life is considered by the majority of the adult population to be an utter waste of time. I play. Now, if I were a kid, playing would be acceptable, but something happens during the transition between childhood and adulthood. It is called the Protestant Work Ethic ( This is a stern moral code emphasizing the need for constant labor in life and work. Protestants consider work as one's duty because it benefits both the individual and society. So, working diligently is one's social obligation and a sign of God's influence and one's purity ), and it is forced upon us through unspoken rules that demand that we take ourselves and our tasks very seriously indeed. Even if they are meant to be fun. Once we leave school and hit the job market, things get worse . Everything we do is expected to have a purpose, or it's just not worth doing. We go to the gym to stay fit. We read novels to expand our minds. We go t...

The girl above seems to be glad to show her scar on their face. But if she would like to apply the teaching jobs in the schools of Guangdong province, she would face awkward situation. Because in a recent regulation on physical requirements for teachers, the Guangdong provincial government stated that people with large scars, moles or other " facial defects" were not qualified for teaching positions in the province's schools. Inevitably, it led to a debate on the web. Many people accused the education authorities of " job discrimination ", arguing that it is the ability and morals that matter, not how perfect the face is. While, in the eyes of some people, the regulation may not be really "discriminatory" in the first place. Even if it does bar a small number of qualified people from teaching, it is done out of concern for the children. A scar-looking man may have a troubling, even traumatic, impact on the child's mind. However, it is not th...

China plans to issue new policies to punish celebrities and rich people for having more children than the state family planning policy allows, according to a senior government official. The move came as the government witnesses an increasing number of complaints from the public saying celebrities and rich people are having more children than ordinary people because they are not afraid of paying fines. Most of those rich people are private business ow ners with high income and not affiliated with any government organization, said Mu Weiyong ,vice director of the family planning commission in China's northeast Liaoning province. According to the state family planning policy, government workers will be published by the party and their administration if they have more than one child. But no effective measures have been invented to punish celebrities and the rich as most of them are not affiliated with government organizations. The majority of those public figures and rich peopl...

2004 My dearest Alice: I could not sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at y ou with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I' ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived; I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and not me, this has always been e...

The contemporary culture advertise is achievement and accomplishment as the route to ultimate happiness. Once you do well, people always except you to do well. The culture had come to view teenagers as small adults. They were left feeling if they could not be a success by age 25, then they were failures. Therefore, you will find more of the overachiever culture in privileged areas because they are so driven toward getting into a prestigious school or university, but it transcends class lines. The problem is that driven children who don't know how to cope with stress may fall into risky behaviours or develop metal disorders. They are afraid they will lose their edge.

In fact, much of the drive has been spurred by peer pressure. Peer pressure is one thing that all teens have in common. You can...
