First Things First

Dear friends,

Welcome to my blog here.

Before introducing this place, I have a few complaints to make. I feel so sorry that when my first post here was almost done, the omnipresent GFW came to sight and cut away what I had written by a slash...as a consequence, I have made up my mind to write offline and then paste to post so as to ensure that my work does not simply end up in vain.

Well, now I'd like to explain why I have chosen this Google service as my gathering room of essays, ideas and thoughts. My life with some analog of 'blogs' actually started much earlier, that is around three years ago, with an SNS website in China for college students to share information and socialize. I once considered this to be an adequate place for blogging; however, it was not long before I found that the control over freedom of expression is tough, mostly by means of regulating a pool of 'sensitive words' that mustn't be present in any written stuffs. There was a period when 'Mao Zedong'(Chairman Mao) was considered 'sensitive'...and I feel confined and slowly going insane, so escape seems to be the best choice.

Here I shall plan the structure of my blog. There should definitely be language and culture sections, such as Chinese, English, Japanese, and plausibly Korean. Meanwhile, some sorts of science and arts sections may sequentially come to existence when necessary.

The two core words for my idea in the construction of this space are 'truth' and 'thought'. I hope you will feel free to talk about anything I am posting here.

Thank you for reading this.
