Knol, different from wikipedia

Every article is written by different people, and can't be edited by anyone but the author.

It put emphasize on the author, I think that's important. It's like blog post, it gets comments and people always love comments.

I always believe there should be more encyclopedia like wikipedia. Knol is useful when you want to know how to backpack. Wikipedia tells you what is backpack.

It may be a closer step for Google's mission " to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Lilei and Hanmeimei

Lilei and Hanmeimei become popular overnight , I searched it on wikipedia, no results returned.

So ,I'd like to write something about it.
They are characters of the English text books once used by millions of Chinese students,along with them ,there are Leifeng ,Luxun, and many other moral models.
Then why did these ordinary characters become popular? I guess it's because we like ordinary people ,we like something we are familiar with. We like them because they taught us how to use English, and they were the same school kids as we were.

I've been learning politics from my childhood ,but I can't remember what I have learnt ,I just remember there is a guy named Max ,maxisim is great ,our government is great.So the conclusion is Hanmeimei's influence is much greater than Max , however ,if you don't believe it , you can check the price of T-shirt printed with Max and Hanmeimei.

The internet made them unattractive to young Chinese students who watch western TV serials,like Friends, to learn English, but it make Hanmeimei popular again among those elder ones.

It's more than nostalgia.

If you are interested, visit Lilei and Hanmeimei for more.

It is kind of suffering when I first write some articles in Chinese, now I encounter the same problem when write in English. I need some encourage. :-)

 

tea or starbucks?

I like tea more than coffee.
I like sand-fired pot more than plastic cups.
The soilmade container endures hundreds of years while the plastic cups harm The soil for hundreds of years.
Tea is healthy, natural, and can grow anywhere.
Tea is cheap, at least most of them is.
Tea have many more different flavors than coffee, and colors too
The process of making coffee needs more energy, instead , tea only needs some sunshine , a cup of tea only needs some hot water.
