dead poets sociaty, salute you!

I saw this film by accident in a evening after a hard-working day.
after typing the key word "ethan hawk" in the blank by film searching I got a list of works automaticly and the name "dead poets sociaty" cautch my attention immediatly cause of the wierd name. I throught it could be about real death(atcually it did), over violence just like fighting club or mysterious organisation or somewhat.
but I was totally wrong, this is a quite moving film what i ever seen.
to follow the dream? to be different(like Bob said in Graduate, by Dustin Hoffman)? to chose the way which little person take?
ask your soul, do you like the the way you are living?
Ethan Hawk played really good. As he walked in the snow, said: it's beautiful, right? and the tears turned down he couldn't hold himself. i feel the sorrow he felt of losing a tight friend, who encaraged him to be himself and throw the pencil-set away.
It is definitely the most emotionalised scene in the film, at my point of view.
but the Mr. Keating's way of teaching is also quite impressive, to enlight the gift of writing of Anderson. As the shy boy expressed his mind how wild, crazy Whitney is, i do pleseant about his achievment.

there is someone wrote on douban.com, I don't want to die without life.
these words can turn me to cry.
did I realy had a life with quaulity? why the life must be like a battle? who made the rules which we must follow all life long?

by consearning my own situation, I chose my major by myself to be an architect making fancy designs. but in reality I think the job is boring at the beginging phase to be an assistant architect. in Germany I work in a renommd office, but what are thez doing can not satisfy me. my life are full of unsatisfy, i even hate myself as I refused to work out a one day studio to pass the cours and get the score.
this is nothing about dream, passion or idear.
I like to learn sime thing realy new. for eample in means of learning a foreign language and travalling around the world. when I am on the why, I have a feel of content. I think I am brave, I am using the 2 legs to walking which is a natraul feature the god gave. and my brain, I must get it socialised. it's a conflict, a conflict without solution. eather to be anomynous, or be as myself.

spend too much time, if what you ever got is only comlainment, it is a tragedy. but too care about the goal, it's also like a gamble.

what should I do? the wise people will never get themself free from sorrow and worry, this is also a gift gave by god. like the poets, to be onself, it is too hard in this world.

anyway, I will alway remember the handsome young faces, and they stood on the desk to salute Mr. Keating like a real teacher.

feeding onself, it is simply not funny at all!

life is like rock climbing

one thing I have done during the sommer vercation is a hiking and climbing tour in southern Bavaria, a place called Garmisch-Partenkirche, famous for the Olymia winter game.
 it was amazing, to reach a place where you never been. I grow up in Beijing, there are very few real moutains. and at that time, I was surrounded by the peaks above 2000m, I feel so good, but really exhausted. it was a wonderful expierence, but quite terrible, because I have to get up at 4:00 and after 12 hours I can reach the peak. what happend within these 12 hours? nothing else but hiking and climbing. no talks, that was awful, I feel very longly. as I get there, I feel even more.

 the routine was very hard and dangerous, but I made it. I got one of the most beautiful view in my life. which I do believe, the people could be classified in a way of visual expierence. for e.g. a peasant works on the field and a CEO works on a jet, maybe. a man could also characterised by his visual world and substantial surroundings.

as a graduate student, our daily life is regular and boring. it is more linear. but I preper planar or 3 dimensional life. always moving.

here I have a list of the places I most want to go:

category A: the islands 
1. Malta
2.Sardegna
3. Corse

category B: regions
1.Apulia
2.co'te d'Azur
3.Provance
4.Andalucia
5.Galicia

category C: cities
1. London
2. Tokyo
3. Copenhagen
4. Havana
5. NYC
6. Bangkok
7. Paris
8. Buenos Aires

category D: Nations
1.Moroco
2.Syria
3.Agypt
4.Greece
5.Turkey
6.Brazil
7.Peru
8.Chile

just get my world more colorful!

always planing sth

time to update my blog, i got at least 3 spots to publish my ideas and thoughts in the mean of blog, but i was always lazy. today i saw the infomation about a newly established master program in Hafencity University in Hamburg, it deals with the resource efficiency in the process of urban development. i'm quite interest in that. maybe it caould be a chance to get in another field, a subject which is operated in a larger scale. my futhur career must be china based, of course must be international oriented, who knows, at least i don't work on a concrect project, such as residential builidng in a architecture office in Munich or Vienna, or somehow in Zurich. what i'm crasy about is the "chinese way", ecological, ecomonical and social balence in china. seems quite big topic, right? but as i read the articals from the expert such as Bouman, Mark Wigley, or Jiang Jun, Ouning, i was just activised by their observations. time to get the horizon extended. what can i do? what am i good at? what's my career in the future?

a 5 days trip in istanbul


as the begin of my English blog i want to post a report about trip in Istanbul.
a city with a history of 5000 years,10,000,000 citizens, but we must do it within 5 days, crazy!
it took me more than 4 days to work out a plan include timetable, route, destinations, but field. it is simply impossible to read such a great city in a glaze.
and now, i am sitting in my studio in TU Munich, and thinking about the hole trip in Istanbul, every detail i don't want to miss, every scene i will never forget......

the city is one of the greatest metropolis all over the world. I'm a from Beijing, as a native Beijinger i love my hometown at the best, but as i came to Istanbul, i do admire the people who's living here. they have a such a great culture, first of all a very tasty gastronomy. before i set off to Istanbul, i studied so much thing about its uniqueness, dance and song or even bath. and of course the architecture what i am major in. it is more related to the history of the city.but now the city is in transition, like the other cities in Asia,maybe several decades later it will get a another appearance.

actually it seems all the cities in Asia look a little bit same. i just can't stop the comparison between Istanbul and Beijing. they have both a huge mass of historical heritage and they are very attractive. the agglomoration are taking place in both of them.but Beijing is more ambitions and delirious. the old city of Beijing was one of the most great man-made project following a political ideology on the planet. but after the revolution, the city wall wasn't remain any more and the old city is also under the threaten to be demolished. as a contract, the hole old city of Istanbul is a cultural heritage of UNESCO, i don't know in which year they did this but i do admire them.

you can also take a look at the CBD of Istanbul, maybe the most crazy skyline in Europe.High-raised buildings could be seen every where. and the trafic planing is not suitable for the pedestrain at all. may be i'v been in Munich for a long time and couldn't be confronted with such a system any more.
