Just watched this movie Pornstar The Legend of Ron Jeremy, and it is amazing to see a man with his appearance and hairy fat body succeeded as the best porn star in the U.S.
In the movie, he explained why he became a porn star, even though he always wanted to act in the mainstream movies.
The movie is enjoyable in general and he struck me as a very amicable person.
(The rest of this post, including some lines in the movie was destroyed by Qumana)

He died on April 29, 2008 at the age of eighty nine (1920-2008).
His books I once read:
- The Ugly Chinaman
A relentless incision of the national character of the Chinese people.
- The Schematic History of Chinese People
The title is my translation. It is the best Chinese history book I ever read. This book is not just a history of China, but a panoramic presentation of the fate and the destiny of Chinese people. Your understanding of Chinese people will be greatly deepened after reading it.
- Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government or Zi Zhi Tong Jian in Chinese Pinyin.
Bo Yang translated this classic Chinese history chronicle by Sima Guang into modern Chinese. In the preface, Bo Yang said it was impossible to understand China without reading this book on Chinese history.

Warning: Do not use Qumana (version 3.0.1) to edit the old posts which has html code <!–more–> in it.
Because Qumana can only see the content before <!–more–> markup in your post, and the rest of the content will be permanently lost if you edit your old posts and save them under Qumana. I have lost a great proportion of my Ron Jeremy post because Qumana only showed part of my post, leaving me the impression that the post was incomplete. After I pressed Update Post, I only had one sentence of my post left.

I am frustrated with Google for not crawling into the individual posts on my blog, and I can only search my front page hitherto.

My translation of a short placard notice for Xiamen Zheng Chenggong Memorial. It is funny to compare the Chinese and English version. The notice itself is a dry humor about civility.

In my quest for a multi-lingual plugin for Wordpress, I was directed to a plugin called Gengo. Although to my disappointment that Gengo does not support Wordpress 2.5 at the moment, I found something else on its author’s website — a quite interesting reflection on which way to go at the crossroads of life. Why do I find it interesting? Because I am facing a similar choice.
