The Yangzte River of Three Goreges

The Three Goreges Dam

Since the human's ambitious, the Three Gorges was designed to history.

When i was a junior high school student, my history teacher said many interesting sories that had ever happened along the Yangtze River, and i used to admire the majestic beautiful scene with those impressive stories.

However, because of the constructing of Three Gorges Dam, the most breathtaking and fantastic landscape of natual art that along the Yangze River was coverd in water.

Though the construction of the massive Three Gorges Dam can provide the China with a great amount of hydroelectric power, the damaged scenery would never be recoverd again.

We clearly know that people should manitain a good balence between the constructing new buildings and protecting the environment, but we usually do whatever we want to satisfy our desires without consciously concerned the risk.

the captalism--31Jul10

i had a certain stereotype in my memory since i was a naive child, i used to feel that the captalism is definitely better than the communism.

the reason i beliving in the captalism is just because the war between our government and the china, the battle has continued a long period time since the 1940s.

in fact, i did not know much about the economic issue, and i had no interested in it when i was a kid.

nevertheless, once i have gone into the real society taking responsibility of my bills, then i finally noticed the importance of finance and economics.

it is too hard to find an aboslutely perfect economic theory to fit in human culture, the captalism can be either a hope or a poison in people's lives, and it all depends on how we play the game.
