BACKGROUND:
In China, the certificate of good university is the almost only way for a normal student to find a good job with good salary. and the score of the national exam will determine which university that the student will study in, the score is higher, the university is obviously better. In China normally taking the national exam is the only way to get high level education in university. According to the social situation, many people think the score of national exam almost determine at least the next ten year of your life.
This year, the date of the national exam is June 7 and June 8. In June7, in the morning the student will spend 150 minutes on Chinese exam, and in the afternoon the students will spend 120 minutes on math exam; in June 8, in the morning the students will spend 150 minutes on science or social science exam, and in the afternoon the students will spend 120 minutes on English exam.
In my opinion, Chinese students are the most stressful students in the world. When I was 6 in Grade one in elementary school I started learning English 2hours in each Saturday, i also studied how to write composition 2 hours each Saturday, and I spent 4 hours on drawing each week in the night. I like drawing so i choosed extra drawing class as my hobby. but i really didn't like composition and i hated English at all ether , i thought they are useless, and they are just take off my playing time. But for me it is just a start. When I was in Grade Three, I gave up drawing, and I spent another 2 hours on maths that are very difficult maths, some of which are taught in the high school and almost half of which are taught in the middle school. In the middle school, I was not only still studying difficult maths and boring English, but also physics in Grad 2 and chemistry in Grad 3, and I will spend 2 hours on each class in the weekend except the lots of homework. In the high school, I still studied the Maths English physics chemistry in weekend until i know i will come to America. I‘m just the normal one of all the Chinese student; many Chinese students like me in the two days weekend, we spend one day on homework and another day on extra class. Fortunately, i am a naughty boy, i like playing with my friends, so sometimes I didn't do homework in long weekend or holiday. That's why my teachers often asked my mother to go school talking about my attitude to the homework, when i was in primary school. but I did't care about it at all because even i didn't do homework, i am still the top student.
Until now. maybe you have a question why we took the extra class in the weekend. Because, Chinese education is so short for the large population. For example, according to the local newspaper, "the year when i went to high school, there are 83 thousand students graduated from middle school, and only 40 thousand students of them have a chance to study in the high school." . So when I go to the elementary school, my mother wanted me to go the best middle school to get the best education with best classmates and best teachers, because if i can study in the best middle school, i can have more chance to study in the best high school. As the same reason, when i was in the middle school, my mother wants me to study in the best high school to get the best education with best teachers and classmates. Because if we study in the best high school we have more chance to study in the best university. All the students want to study in the best school. so in order to go to the best school, i have to take extra classes that will make sure i get can the highest score in the final exam that determines which school i will study in. That's why Chinese students are the most stressful. Fortunately, from elementary school to the high school, I always study in the best class in the best school with best teachers and best classmates in my city, and now i am so lucky to study in the America, which has the best education system in the world.
So the next two days have been the most most important days for the Chinese students in their life, since the score of the national exam will determine which university they will study in. the purpose of all the Chinese students spend 12 stressful years on studying is to go to a good university to get good education and learn some real abilities.
Last night i spent 5 hours on calling many of my friends to say good luck for them.
I hope all my friends can get a good score and go to their dreaming University.
It's true that i get a lot of benefits from the stressful learning years.Compared with American student i know too much more about maths, physics, chemistry, biology, but also lost too much things. i hope maybe in the future, the Chinese education system will be changed better, the students don't need to be too stressful, and they can have more time with their family, and their friends. they can spend more time on their interest. they can spend the whole day on play games or on the beach or on the grass in the weekend. they have more time enjoying their life, love, family. they can have more time to know about the society. they can have more time to help the needy people. they can have more chance to do some crazy things. they can have more chance to talk with their friends about "hey guns, how about climbing this weekend." Each time When i think about it i feel a little bit sad and sorry.
I believe it will be changed. now only I can do is to say " good luck ,my dear friends."

hello
hello my friends
recently i have a strong feeling is that time goes too fast, life is too short..
when i memorized the life in the middle school ,the life in the high school is end; when i memorized the life in the high school, i have been USA for almost half year.
sometimes i really like the time goes fast;for example, when i am homesick , i do want to the life goes as fast as possible, and i can go home earlier.
sometimes i really hate the time goes too fast. Sometimes, when i finished all my class in the 2 pm, i really don't know what should i do , no homework, no pressure, everything goes well, i can play all day all night. sometimes i do hate this kind of life. because compared the student's life in China , compared with my friends, the student's life here is too easy, i always think i can improve myself more, if i do some extra work by myself. and sometimes when i watch TV i fell happy meanwhile i feel i waste my time to learn.
the feeling is so hard to explain, the problem is still not solved. I still young and need learn too many things.
have a nice day , even the day goes too fast

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day!!! Mom I Love You! and I am so proud of You!
In the world, mother is the person who give the most love to her children.
Mother is great, i am so proud of all of the mothers in the world. because of the mother's rich kind love, all the children have wonderful childhood with a lot of beautiful memories. i always think i live in the heaven since i have a very very nice mother, who i love forever. No matter when, no matter who ask me " who do you love most" i am gonna immediately say i love my mother most.
Up till now, no matter when i feel bad, upset, and sad, i always think my mother must encourage and support me. Mother is a kind of belief in my heart, now i really can not live without mother. i mean i can live by myself, but in the sprite, i can not leave far away from my mother. every week , my mother and I share our news and interesting stories with each other that is a nice way to deepen our love.
I never forget some memories between my mother and I. I remember that when i was a child, i always ask my mother to play video games with me, and in the game time, i always so exciting and crazy that i can not stop playing by myself. haha funny funny. I remember that when i was a child my mother always read stories to me, taught me some Chinese poems, and played math game with me. In the morning, my mother liked to play badminton with me. In the night my mother always liked to walk and talk with her friends, and i liked to play with my friends.
My mother is a very good encourager. She always encourages me. when i lost game, got bad score, didn't do a good homework, my mother always encourageing me says :" it doesn't matter, you must be much better in the next time. i am a sunshine boy, i am a so positive and confident person, and sometimes a little bit arrogance. I like my positive personality , i think positive is better than negative, and confidence is much better than losing hope. My mother's encourages bring up the nice personality to me. On this point, compared with the person who always compliant the fact and lose hope. i think i am so lucky, since i aways feel happy and lucky. I think everyday is nice day.
My mother is a very nice problem solver too. Compared with my father , my mother is much more kind. child always makes troubles and problems to parents, especially me, a crazy naughty boy, haha. It's true. when i was a child, i reared gecko, locust,cricket that made our room dirty, and my mother don't like them, but she loved me so she just cleaned room after i had fun with the small animals. I do always make troubles when i was a child. In the winter, we destroyed other people's wood door, and we bounded it to cook our cookies. In the night we used toy gun to make noise in order to make the old couple who we dislike and always make quarrel with us can not sleep. We always made quarrel with our female classmates and used pencil to draw on their beautiful clothes or their new books. For example, every time when we make the girls angry, they always ran after us and wanted to catch and hit us, but we are faster than them, so in the end, they always cried and talked to teachers about our bad. because I always make troubles, there are some people often talked to my mother such as teachers and some neighbors. My mother always said sorry to them and solved the problems that i made, but my mother love me and she think boys are always naughty when they were young,so she was seldom mad at me even though she is very angry. That is my mother, i love her very much.
Now, i am not naughty any more, in my opinion i lost a lot of interest, but my mother said you are not a naughty boy anymore. you should learn how to be a gentle man.
My mother is still the most beautiful lady in my heart, i love her very much.
Mom, happy mother's day! i am so proud of you!!!

Sunshine
Sunshine is the title of the article. I don't know why I choose dark black as my blog's background's color, but my blog's name is sunshine. This feeling that I can 't explain is so abstract, so I use Google to search pictures and I finally find the following picture named sunshine.
Please look at the picture and imagine. If a person stood on the ground and faced to the sky that is very dark and black with thick clouds, what is his feeling? When he notice no matter how dark and thick the clouds are, he still can see the sunshine, even though the sunshine is dim and weak. What is his feeling?
Just think about it for a little moment...
......
...
.
Even the sky is dark, the cloud is thick, and the sunshine is weak, but sunshine still brings the light to the person and makes his heart bright and warm. Sometimes the environment is so bad, depressive, and very difficult, but we must have something in our heart that can keep us coping with the fact and difficulties. It must be hope and Sunshine is a kind of hope.
Many friends including me sometimes feel lonely dispirited stressful. Sometimes I feel so bad losing my own dream and I think why I come to America? Why I study here and I am so far away from my dear parents and friends? What’s my favorite major? What’s the life’s meaning? What’s my dream? I feel lonely and many kinds of negative airs that are the dark sky and the thick clouds in my heart are around me. This kind of feeling is temporary; as a result, I have my own sunshine that is love, dream, and happiness.
My parents and friends give me so much love. My parents are my sun. They give me so much love. They take care of me and talk with me even though I am in America. My mother often talks to me about how to take care of myself, how to keep healthy, how to be a friendly, kind, polite gentleman. My father often teaches me how to be a responsible man, how to solve emergency, how to be independent man, how to make a good decision and sometimes we talk about history and police and share our own outlook. After I studied in high school, I am very happy because my father started treating me as a friend not a son, treating me as a man not a boy. My mother doesn’t agree with it, my mother said “no matter how old you are, you are always my son.” I never forget the scene that I went to the airport and said “bye bye” to my parents. My father was smiling and said “you are a man now, I believe you can face to the world by yourself.” My mother was crying and said “I can’t take care of you when you study in America, and you must take care of yourself well. Don’t worry about your father and me” That’s the difference between father’s love and mother’s love. Whenever I want to give up, I always feel that the love my parents give me make me strong.
To be honest, I never say any negative feeling and thoughts to my parents, I always tell the positive and happy things to my parents that can make my parents not worry about me and make them happy. I always tell the negative feeling to my best friends who always encourage me and make me feel comfortable. I always encourage my friends too because when I can help my friends I also feel very happy. I like to share my memory, my dream, the life that I want to have, which kind of girl that I love, where we should travel and explore in the future, and any thoughts in mind with my friends. I like the love between my friends and me, and the love makes me feel hopeful and makes me feel we are young! The future is excellent! The life is wonderful and exciting, and this day is enjoyable! I love my friends who bring me so much happiness.
My dream is to be an engineer and I wish I can have a nice life that I can have lot of free time that I can spend with my parents, my wife, my children, and my friends on having fun together. Now my dream is to study in American University and learn as much as I can. I want to create my own wonderful life by myself. I wish my parents are prode of me and my success. That’s the dream that I am trying to achieve.
Everything is changing to be better all the time. Now what I’d like to do is enjoying the life now, making myself, my family, and my friends happy and studying hard. I believe tomorrow is more beautiful, that’s why I am always happy, and that’s why my blog’s name is sunshine.
Look at the sunshine…
The life is wonderful!
The future is bright!
