A Story of a Semi-professional Chinese Murder

Lying in the Jacuzzi and being messaged by two nude Belorussia girls, I spit a sip of Chateau Lafite Rothschild ’82 out of the balcony and hope someone can hit the jackpot. Sorry, forget to tell you, I am now in the 2000m2 penthouse built above the one hundredth floor of the International Finance Centre building which I own, in the heartland of Shanghai. With mystery and enigma, my penthouse is usually described as the Sistine Chapel of wealth and intelligence by tabloids. As a matter of fact, few people know my empire is piled up by tons of human carcasses, the things that my great motherland is never to be short of. Barely known by people, I am not the neon god they pray but the brainy Satan they made.

The two pinky Ukrainian cherries on her chest remind me of the cherries (literally) in my father’s fields; they were stunted and retarded, just like the people there. Before my age of 15, the age I left my home, I had never seen any normal cherries or crops; they were all colorless and way smaller than ordinary ones. I believe the seeds of Satan had been deep-seated down in my heart since then. My friend, when malformation becomes normalcy, how can you avoid tragedy.

According to the big bang theory, all light originated from darkness, and I deeply believe it till today. I came from the darkness of the darkness. Now, I am having sex with women in the brightest spot of the city. Otherwise, how to explain such a dramatic life as mine? I fell from my mum’s vagina while she was racking some dung in the field. I was her fifth child and nothing was worth panicking. Four children before me were either still births or semi-stillbirths, and she delivered them all here. She skillfully cut the umbilical cord by a rusty scythe and then continued on doing her jobs. She supposed that I could not survive till the end of that day and just let me lie on the putrid turds to let me melt into these ooze and become organic fertilizers. However, my sonorous crying reminded her that I was still her son instead of a bloody flesh falling from her womb; that was my first feat of gaining people’s sympathy by using tricks.

Soon after that, they named me after something that does not exist at all—Dogegg. Now, I still doubt their ability to write my name. Every time I heard others call me this name, my goose bumps just popped out. Of course, my name is no longer this one; otherwise, even the hobos on the streets would look down upon me. They gave me a birth as being a human but gave me a life as being an animal or even worse. To be honest, I used to hate them of giving me birth in such an accursed country without my permission. Feeding on tree roots were a nightmarish motif throughout my childhood. Damn, can you imagine that roots were a rare and tough to get at that time? I think if the aliens had land on China at that time, they must think they were on the surface of the moon. Millions of craters were caused by people digging meters deep to search for some leftover roots. As always I said, Chinese are a brilliant race. During such harsh years, some parents even exchanged their children with others and cooked them to eat; consequently, they would not be blamed by their own morality compass the rest of their life. Withal, if they could have had some soy sauce to flavor with at that time, the taste of others’ children must be better.

No long after that, many people tried to escape to other provinces to beg for some food; however, most of them were shot by the communist soldiers on the boarders in the name of salvaging the communist party’s pace. Unlike these dumbs, I dig a tunnel through the boundary secretly by using a tiny spoon. Since then, I haven’t got any news from my parents; I still don’t whether they are dead or not until this moment.

In the ensuing years, I worked in a coal pit in Shanxi Province. Only thing I want to comment upon this business is that is really like what coals look like—dark, dark, bloody dark. I and my fellow workers worked nakedly day after day— I bet that after you come out from the mine the only white part of your body are your eyeballs. Every day, I could feel the darkness nibbled and seeped into my body gradually. FYI, it is really damn hot down there; I bet the founders of all religions must have used coal pits as a prototype of their imaginary hells. I warn you not to intimidate me as being an atheist by sending me to the hell in my afterlife; I had already been in the damn hell.

 

3 impressive characters

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is the main character of the German novel Perfume. He was  born with an extreme form of hyperosmia (an abnormally strong sense of smell), which eventually leads him to be  a serial killer. The author tried as much as he can to leak out the characteristics of him through the stories happening to him. Plus, he used a lot of strong and intense contrast to shape this character. As a perfume apprentice who is obsessed    with odors, he was born in a most malodorous environment–a fish market, so on.

 

 

 

 

Frodo Baggins

The Lord of the Rings

No one can be further from being a hero than Forodo, seemingly. However, Tolkien just used this point to make an anonymity to be a celebrity. Unlike other heroism writers, he chose not to make him perfect and ideal. Instead, he granted his character a rustic and austere penchants. He also did not throw out some big but vague ideas about hero. He gave Forodo some flaws and imperfections. The reasons why Forodo could became an idol because he overcame his shortcomings and weakness.

 

Andy Dufresne

The Shawshank Redemption

I think this movie is really a inspiring and touching one. Apparently, Andy is a taciturn person, which means that the author gave up a good way to shape his role– dialogue. However, you will find out that the author expertly  employed other methods to build this silent role to be a vivid one. Throughout the story, we can see the wisdom of Andy from his unique and intelligent comportment. For example, the most classic scene is the picture above. The was the moment when Andy successfully broke the prison and enjoyed the feeling of freedom. This posture outweighs thousands of words. Actually, human is not a species which is skilled at dealing with words; we are the one good at dealing with images. A good image can save many words and convey the idea more precisely. This is the reason that more people choose to watch films rather than read books.

 

Thoughts On Digital Communication

I do think that occurrence and flooding of social networking would impair people’s ability to make friendships in real life. I just watched a movie recently, and the story can be referred to this topic. The movie was about a gifted online poker players. He could handle more than 10 computers a time and play with near many players at a time. However, he failed when he played poker in real life. The reason for that is quite simple–he lacks the ability to communicate with others, conceal his real thoughts and see through his rivals. Every time, he showed his motions on his face because people could not see his appearance on line.

Embrace Death

Embrace Death

 

Anything can be changed, except for death. Birth can be an accident, but death must be a certain event. However, many people have ostrich syndrome; they are always reluctant to talk about death, and they try to convince themselves that there is no such thing is called death. For many years, death has shown up in front me in different forms and taught me how to accept it with an open attitude.

My idea about death was vague, and mostly it rested on some death rituals and customs. Some old men in my hometown would prepare a coffin and put it in their house at certain age. The reason why they do this is because people in my village think that life is unpredictable, and once if the old people die they do not have to panic. Actually, when I was young I did not have courage to visit the houses with coffins inside. One time, I could not withhold my curiosity and ask, “Don’t you feel scared living with a coffin?” “Are you afraid of your bed?” he just asked me back and did not give his response. Nowadays, when I look back upon that part I think I can understand the purpose of his words.

Later on, death gave me a chance to see its face clearly. That was a silent dark night in 1999, I casted a bucket to get water from the well next to my house. Unexpectedly, I slipped and fell in to it. Usually, during that time, the chance of people passing by there is equivalent to zero. Fortunately, miracle did happen that night; one mother and her daughter were washing clothes at the well at midnight! Due to their shouting, I was saved by my mum. That unforgettable experience was like a bucket of cold water down poured over my head, and I suddenly realized that life is as ephemeral as night-blooming cereuses. Since then, I began to know that death is always ambushing around us, and we never know when it is going to jump out.

The experience of death gives me a huge impact on my worldview. I deeply understand that seeing the sunrise of the next night is not certain. Nevertheless, I learn from those old men that death is not necessarily scary. Life is so precious is because death is not far from anyone. Instead of being panic, I chose to cherish every moment I have so far and follow my heart to live because I don’t want to regret when the death is coming. Living on my own make me have the courage and confidence to smile at death when it appears.

The experience of death gives me a huge impact on my worldview, which is similar to those old people. At that moment, I realized that death is never far away from anybody and it can be that closed to us.

Give life meanings

Undoubtedly, no one can deny that human beings are essentially animals. Apparently, compared to the “brutal” animals, we don’t have any advantage on stamina and strength. According to the the theory of natural selection, our humans were not favored by the mother nature at the very beginning, and we were supposed to be vanished. However, the doomsday of us did not come at all. I think the most important reason is that people are imaginative  and good at giving  life different meanings. In other words, humans have an obvious tendency to create things from nothings to turn our ephemeral lives to be colorful. Continue reading

In this article, she recalled her childhood of being in touch with the nature. She retrospected her her happy hours of hanging out with some bugs and pests in her backyard.

Slaves to the Rich

Here is the story I was intended to tell through the pictures:

There are two groups of scenes on my post. The first picture of first group is about a child worker in a slum working to feed his family. It is just a snapshot of millions of children like him; they don’t have chance to live a decent life and get education. The second picture is about a child who is born in a wealthy family. With the help of his pilot, he gets on the plane happily. The second group is going to draw a comparison between the consumers and produces. The first picture is a poor child worker with a huge Nike logo on the wall of a sweatshop. Apparently, this scene becomes a big sarcasm. The second scene is a Nike advertisement promoting its “significant” idea, which gives people an illusion that everybody can enjoy its comfortable shoes. The last picture is a cover of a book called Planet of Slums. This book is a book discussing why the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, which is related to the topic of my story. In addition, I want to recall people to give more thoughts to this issue through the last picture. Otherwise, our world is possibly becoming a planet of slums in the foreseeable future.

The Love Surpasses All Boundaries

These picture were taken by a wildlife filmmaker and photographer when he was working in Bisnoi, Rajasthan, which is an arid area in India. The story behind these pictures is rather intriguing. One day, the mother of the chinkara fawn on the pictures was killed by a vicious village dog. Hence,The kind and considerate  Bishnoi family adopted it in order to prevent it from killing by wild predators. Undoubtedly, the mother of this family treated it as her lovely child. Apparently, racism doesn’t not exist here because her love has already transcended all the boundaries drawn by humans. I was deeply moved by the simple and natural motion of her breastfeeding. I can see the mighty glory of motherhood  and the purity of human nature. She used her action to evince that humans can also live in a harmony with animals. Please look at how concentrated she was. All the dreams that people have been pursued for decades now is becoming true on her. Although her life is tougher than lots people who live in prosperous areas, she used the only resource she had  to help an orphan animal. In contrast to the relatively rich people, they just show their apathy to the people and animals who need help. Obviously, her behaviors is the best silent teaching and protest to the indifferent people, which is much more powerful and surpassed the limit of languages.
