One of my good friends is an American guy. Once we talk about marriage, he turns to be very nervous and uncomfortable. I can understand that marriage is a horrible future for men, so that they tend to avoid it as much as possible.
But, I can see that he loves his girlfriend very much. They just match with each other. I cannot find a single reason to support why the sweet couple should not go to the next stage. The other friends kinda make fun of that. I only feel sorry.
Sometimes, we'll find ourselves trapped not in chains of marriage but in the cage of our own fear of commitment and responsibility. Why?
If we keep thinking that we cannot afford it, we may need to think through before dating anyone. I don't think it's right to date a person with a solid belief 'I'm serious about him (her)'. That wastes both our time and others' time.
We may need sometime to grow up before we get involved in any relationship...

National Shame
As a Chinese citizen, I certainly don't want to admit it. China is always a great country to me. One of the best cultures in the world.
Recently, many kids suffer from the milk-powder scandal in China. Some died. It's heart-broken news. Certain monitoring institution didn't do their job to keep an eye on the quality of dairy products. This is not fresh news though. In 2004, four years ago, almost 12 babies died from malnutrition after drinking milk that contained no nutrients.
Every time such tragedy (or some of you may call it 'scandal' instead) happens, the government announces that they will reform the entire dairy industry. But we never see any visible change. Maybe a city mayor got sacked, but would the problem be addressed through firing government staff members only? I'll say never.
The fundamental issue is that we lack of an effective law system to monitor such industry as dairy. It's not because people in China are bold to commit crimes like that, but related laws are problematic and far from effective to prevent crimes. It calls for the attention of the government people to carry out new laws to stop food contamination.
But how long does it take to create rules and how many people have to sacrifice for the outcome? How many babies does a law cost before people make it? I can't wait to see China prosper in all aspects, not only a good-looking Olympics game.
