There are many people studying Chinese now. I hope that all of you reporters, and the other ladies and gentlemen in attendance, can take up the study of Chinese. I believe that Chinese is one of the easiest languages in the world to learn. Otherwise, how can you explain why 1.3 bllion people have chosen it as their mother tongue?
said by china’s foreign minister, mr. yang jiechi in a press conference this morning.
i have a class in half an hour, am struggling to remember a dozen characters and starting to feel like i want to kill someone. because, you know, it’s so simple!

on happiness ^3
three happy, unrelated facts:
* the other day, on the elevator, i was thinking my job title should be “i make people happy”, insted of webmarketing or something. because i think that’s what i do. i surf the internet all day reading blogs and forums, filtering information, listening to complaints and concerns, reviews and feedback, answering questions. oh, and i send out samples once in a while. everybody likes free samples, and sometimes they even say the nicest things of them. therefore, they’re happy, which makes me happy. :)
* postcards. 1 per minute. sheer happiness being received all around the world.
* on this map of web trends for 2008, based on shanghai’s own metro map, we live on the station “happiness”. it’s clearly a sign.
