By far the highest credit given to the Chinese bloggers I have ever heard:
"If one extrapolates China's future from this group of individuals, you see a peace-loving, compassionate, humanistic, globally minded, flexible, hard-working lot who are well poised to drive Chinese innovation.... and to drive it in directions that the entire world should certainly welcome. The Chinese government would be crazy not to embrace them as poster kids for China's future. If the government is not capable of doing so, it will be to the long-term detriment not only of China's economy but also of China's global credibility, which in turn has an impact on China's long-term global influence. "

2005 New Year’s Eve, Tromso, Norway.
It was the first time that I had ever seen the Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights. Flickering curtains of dancing light against the dark sky, the beautiful blaze of pale green celestial lights is just like our tumultuous life. We seldom have a clue where life is leading us to, nor do we know the showtime of our life journey’s finale. The present is the only gift we can hold tight. If you can choose to be happy, don’t choose to be sad. Regardless of the problems swirling around you, move through life with grace, warmth, and vigor. Most importantly, stay emotionally elevated.
Feel the living, feel the happiness, and that’s right the meaning of life.
我们唯一能牢牢握在手里的就是此刻；如果你能选择高兴，就一定不要选择悲伤。如我这样的悲观者才能真正快乐地活着。
感受生活，感受 幸福。这就是生的意义。
