龙骨:一个外国人眼中的“老成都”最近两天看得很爽的一本书,太怀旧了。华西协和大学的化学系当年的系主任Willian Gawan Sewell,描述了1924-1952年间的成都。虽然是我们出生前几十年的事情,但是里面讲的很多东西仍是我们这一辈童年时期所熟悉的,很大程度上是因为西部发展比较缓慢,直到西部大开发以前的变化都不大。有利有弊吧,至少我们曾经接触过那么有历史的东西。
讲几个书中的例子,晓得的人就应该会心一笑了:弹棉花,卖油炸小吃的人和窝子油糕,响簧/牛牛儿和铁环,面人/糖人和糖饼儿,编竹席的人,街头理发老头,掏耳朵的人,补碗/补缸/补伞和补搪瓷盆子,磨子磨黄豆和玉米,磨刀匠,编竹器的人。
很有感觉。 CPR + AED 培训有感周三下午去参加了学校的"CPR + AED familiarization programme",感触好多。 一进去就看到排了一地的模拟小人,明明是个男的,却叫little Annie。先看录像,抢救一个溺水的人,都是训练有素的专业人员,但最后的结果却是给了3次体外除颤以后宣布无能为力。一开始就让我心情有点低落。 前前后后讲了40分钟,CPR是什么(心肺复苏),AED是什么(体外自动电击除颤),操作的步骤是什么,然后模拟练习了1个多钟头。在冷得要死的空调房,我却满头大汗。 我也搞不清楚为什么自己这么想要学,单单是觉得生命太脆弱了吧。虽说我也知道统计数据并不是想象中的有说服力,但是给出的数据还是让人心惊胆战: 1. 在心搏停止的状态下,没有氧气循环,4分钟就足以造成器官的严重损坏。 2. 在心搏停止的1分钟内使用AED,存活率高达90%;以后存活率以每分钟7-10%的速度递减;超过10分钟就差不多等于零了。 可能对于医生来说,他们都有束手无策的时候,他们比我们看得开的多,见惯了生老病死的。但对于去我们这样的非专业人士,任何一个都不愿意在最糟糕的情况下束手无策、帮不上忙,一个诺大的训练房,满满都是人。 6月4号又近了,快2年了,心痛的感觉却依旧。 诗一首(zt)当我们被称为东亚病夫时,我们被称为黄祸。 当我们被宣传为下一个超级大国时,我们被称为威胁。 当我们关上我们的大门时,你们走私毒品来打开市场。 当我们信奉自由贸易时,你们责骂我们夺走了你们的工作。 当我们被碎成几片时,你们的军队闯进来要求公平分赃。 但我们把碎片重拼接好时,你们又叫嚣解放被入侵的西藏。 好,那么我们尝试共产主义,你们恨我们是共产分子。 当我们容纳了资本主义时,你们又恨我们是资本家。 当我们有十亿人民时,你们说我们正在摧毁这个星球。 当我们实行计划生育时,你们说这是违反人权。 当我们贫穷时,你们认为我们是狗。 当我们借给你们现金时,你们骂我们使你们负了债。 当我们建设我们的工业时,你们称我们是污染者。 当我们卖给你们商品时,你们责备我们助长了温室效应。 当我们购买石油时,你们称是剥削和种族大屠杀。 而当你们为石油而发起战争时,你们称为解放。 当我们在动乱时,你们要替我们制定律法。 当我们依法镇治暴乱时,你们称违反了人权。 当我们沉默时,你们要我们言论自由。 当我们不再沉默时,你们称我们是洗脑式的仇外。 你们为什么那么恨我们?我们不禁要问。 不,我们不恨你们,你们说。 我们也不恨你们,但是你们理解我们吗?我们问。 当然了,你们说,我们有媒体AFP,CNN和,BBCs. 你们到底想从我们这里要什么? 好好想,想清楚再回答。 没有更多的机会了,我们忍让得足够多。 世界快要承载不下你们的虚伪了。 我们只要一个世界,一个梦想,一个和平的地球。 我们的蓝色星球已足够,足够容纳下所有的我们。 When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Peril. When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The threat. When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to Open Markets. When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking away your jobs. When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your "fair share". When We were putting the broken peices together again, "Free Tibet" you screamed, "it was an invasion!" (When Woodrow Wilson Couldn't give back Birth Place of Confucius back to Us, but He did bought a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball for us.) So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists. When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalist. When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet. When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse. When We were Poor, You think we are dogs. When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts. When We build our industries, You called us Polluters. When we sell you goods, You blame us for global warming. When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide. When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation. When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us. When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights. When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech. When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophoics. Why do you hate us so much? We asked. "No," You Answered, "We don't hate You." We don't Hate You either. But Do you understand us? "Of course We do," You said, "We have AFP, CNN and BBCs..." What do you really want from us? Think Hard first, then Answer... Because you only get so many chances, Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for this one world. We want One World, One Dream, And Peace On Earth. This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us. Study the History, NOT the media!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsoc4-QnplY The West is trying to demonize China. Why? To ensure an upper-handed position economically, politically, and socially. Too many harbor strong opinions about Tibet, yet know nothing more than the few slogans offered by the mass-media outlets. The media screams: "They killed innocent monks!" - but those "innocent" monks and other young hooligans killed innocent Chinese before a single shot was fired on them. "The Chinese are oppressive" - do you consider freeing over 95% of Tibetans from slavery, building a state of the art infrastructure, and a new economy oppressive? "The Chinese suppress Tibetan Buddhism" - then why have the Chinese spent a fortune restoring ancient monasteries and places of religions significance? China doesn't SPIN NEWS like we do. Their silence is too often mistaken as admission of guilt. Don't be another uninformed drone. Do everyone a favor and learn truths before forming opinions. Here's to Peace & Harmony! The 2008 Beijing Olympics deserve support! |
