This month has witnessed a lot of big events, including my continuous nightmares before the earthquake, the quake and several papers we finished. Tomorrow, right before the end, it will see me through the BEC Vantage examination.
Now, I am in Xi’an city. I mean the downtown area, sitting in a net bar. Funny when I stepped up the stairs, I was murmuring “What about the afterquake happen again when I am in the bar? It is almost a entirely closed floor without any emergency exit.” Then I just couldn’t help laughing at my redicule.
Downtown area is extrodinarily prosperous for person like me who have lived in such a remote place for two years. The snacks are more delicious than ever, cars fancier than ever, people more fashionable than ever and the roads more crowded than ever too. I feel a little bit dizzy here. Maybe, I am now quite used to the peaceful place with low pace of life. Not only the people and trafic here are excessively noisy to me but also the air here is chocking.
Believe it or not, the earth is badly ill and people live in the cities are not awared at all. They cheer for their success of conquring the nature, know not at all the disarsters waiting in their way ahead and that of their descendents.

Yes, the earth is badly ill, many things destroyed for commercialisation in Xi-an. But at least you can still see a blue sky in Winter there.
Sometimes just feel as if we are living in a cage full of rubbish. Human beings are so ignorant to destroy their place of living. That is nothing far from committing suicide.
