An article about my country in the international press

China is well known as a success in exports. In recent years, the issue about how China maintain a steady and rapid economic growth has become a hot focus for Chinese government.

Here is a link to an article in the China Press. It is interesting to notice that" China's technology imports reached 17.95 billion U.S. dollars in the first nine months of this year, up 45.2% over last year". And The European Union and Japan and The United States are the main technology exporters to China. It is wonderful to know that China's entrepreneurs have started to concentrate on changed their economic structure and further development products with high add-on value,such as high-technology and high quality.

I like this sentence which is "Knowledge is power ".

Review for a book

Recently I have read a book named "Dolphin Music" , which was written by Antoinette Moses.It is a fiction which happens in 2051. This is a world where it is too hot to go out. The interesting thing is that it is a virtual world. You can imagine how people live in a virtual world. For example, people can make love without touching each other. CONTROL, the government of Europe, keeps everyone happy in a virtual reality. And the wonderful music are made by dolphins gives everyone pleasure.However, the world has been changed forever when music critic Saul Grant, who is energy and brave, discovers what makes the dolphins sing and sets out to free them.

I like to read this book. One of the reasons is the book can satisfy my curious.I am keen to know what the future world looks like and what will happen in the future world. Therefore, it extends my imagination. In addition, this book tell me a theory which is "No morality can be founded on authority, even if the authority were divine. "(A. J. Ayer. USA writer). And I believe this will not be changed even in the future.

Travel in Cape Reinga

I like this beautiful country, New Zealand. For me, the landscape at every corner in New Zealand is just like scenery in a postcard. And I have always been surprised in travelling.I can't tell you which place is my favour in New Zealand. However, travelling to Cape Reinga gave me an unforgettable experience.

Cape Reinga is located at the northernmost part of New Zealand. I got a shock by the the magnificent natural wonders, the grandeur of the mighty Kauri trees, the expanse of Ninety Mile Beach and the mystique of Cape Reinga,and I can't find a word to express the impression. When I was there, I felt myself reduced smaller and smaller,becoming a piece of dust in air.To be honest, I was suffering from homesickness before the trip.When I was back from Cape Reinga,however, iI was amazed that I was happy to settle down and want to get involved in this country.

Moreover,I would like to tell you an interesting thing that I met while travelling.An Australian, who is about 60 years old, politely asked me to write “Happy birthday” in Chinese on his postcard to send for his younger sister's birthday. I was pleased to do it and sent the postcard with him at the local post office. How wonderful to send a postcard at the northernmost part of New Zealand! It is a great idea to send a local postcard at a local post office.Thanks to the lovely 60-year-old gentleman.

I am looking forward to visiting the 100% pure natural place again.And I will try the Cape Reinga Adventures, for example, fishing, Kayaking, 4 Wheel Driving, Hiking, Snorkelling, Horse trekking and Dune Surfing.
