Thank you for correcting my English. It is very nice and thanks. I do know my English has a lot problems. I feel my English is lack of variety of sentence structures and vocabulary. I am trying to improve my English. I just start to study TOEFL. I guess I am going to be a little busier than before.
As you pointed out that I should not say myself as a "Beijingese" because I went to Beijing when I was 10. I accepted what you said and wrote " I don't know what should I say where do I come from. " When first time you asked me where do I come from, I answered you simply " I come from Beijing". I don't think it is normal that I should answer a such simple question with a long story starts with :" I come from Beijing now, but I wasn't born in Beijing. I went to Beijing with my parents when I was 10 . and ....................................." It sounds too crazy especially with a stranger.
Looks like I wasn't careful enough to deal with Shanghaiese this time even for a simple question. ( I didn't know you are a Shanghaiese at the time.)
The Newzealand guy speaks fluent Shanghaiese wasn't I judged. I heard from Shanghaiese that he speaks fluent Shanghaiese. Otherwise I wouldn't know what he speaks. Can he learn in 3 years? I don't know. I know a person can learn to speak English or Japanese in 3 years especially the person who lives in English or Japanese speaking area. Probably Shanghaiese is a very "special" language, so no one could learn in 3 years.
When a Shanghaiese thinks a person who has no money, then he/ she only speaks Shanghaiese to other city people because he/she wants to be mean. In a company, I don't think Shanghaiese only speaks Shanghaiese because they can't communicate with others. I don't think we are talking about the environment such as in a company. Employees know each other and they are working together. We are talking about in general, people who don't know each other. My feeling is Shanghaiese would be mean at the first to other city people .
You don't want to answer my question why so many people wrote in only in this forum that they don't have good image about Shanghaiese. Now you know why I agreed that Shanghaiese don't talk straight. To avoid sharp question. You can't say there is no such feeling in other city people's mind. This is what I am pointing out.
I am not saying why you don't disagree others but me. I welcome you chanllege me. At least you corrected my English. Better than nothing.
After 9-11, TVO Studio2 had a program that they invited 3 muslims to discuss why muslims hate Ameircans. 1 of them said yes, some muslims do hate Amricans. Other 2 said no, no such thing. Through the 2 guys , I can see they hate the guy who said yes. They can't explain why after the twin towers collapsed, so many people on the West Bank street were cheering. They only said :' There is bad apples in every community." I guess you are using the same answer to against my point.
I don't hate Shanghaiese. It is not nice to hate any individual with no reason. I just expressed my general image about Shanghaiese. As I said a lot Shanghaiese are smart, have wide view and great ideas. In general, I wish Shanghaiese would treat other people nice and gentle. This is the reason I wrote :" I think Shanghaiese needs to improve their personalities."
I hope you are not so upset as you wrote " want to be friend with you, that is why I am trying to change your mind." I just don't feel it from your whole article. I am happy you are challenging me.
I didn't say Foreign men are better than Chinese men. As I wrote "some women want money, some women want love. They are getting what they want." I had bad luck with my Chinese boyfriend. I think I should say it in detail (especially when I deal with Shanghaiese.). I had bad luck and he had bad luck, we had bad luck with each other because we are not a match. God took out a rib from man to make it as a woman. After the man grown up, he finds the woman whom was made by his rib and marry her to start a family. Sometimes the man and the rib don't match because they are not from the same body. In my case, I find my happiness with my husband. A lot Chinese women find their happiness with their Chinese husbands. This is a simple theory in all marriages.
My general view toward international marriage is: most couples are happy. Evidence? Genearlly Chinese young women want to marry a foreigner. Isn't it? Can you say there is no such thing?
About I had disagreements with "Angel loves beauty". I didn't know she is a Shanghaiese when I had disagreement with her first time.I didn't like her aticle because she didn't know she needs to respect other people as she was asking me " If I want to stay in Canada, can you say I can't." I told her " No one should say no to you because it is your freedom. At the same time, you should respect others freedom too." Also I didn't like she specially wrote in " I apologize I made a mistake. I think it is a great virtue." Making a mistake and apologize for it, such simple human behaviour becomes a great virtue. I really can't agree. I disagree her wrote she had a great friendship with her tenant and says she doesn't understand why people can't stay under one roof peaceful here in Canada. In the other words she is better than most Chinese in Canada. I guess you read my disagreement and I believe I made more sense than her. And I disgree her in this forum. I don't think I have specially argued with her in any other forum. Why are you saying I was looking for her to argue with her? She publishes a lot articles as I see, it is not hard to find her to argue. I don't think I am specially looking for her to argue with her. Also I didn't know she is a Shanghaiese until I read her second article. What made you feel it?
From your action, somehow I can't help myself to associate Shanghaiese with Japanese. Reasons:
1,Because she is a Shanghaiese, you are standing on her side even though we are not talking about the same topic. Japanese has a famous character that no matter how much they argue with each other, they will get together strongly to against foreighers. In this case, no matter how much Shanghaiese argue with each other (such as "Shang Zhi Jiao" to "Xia Zhi Jiao".) Shanghaiese stays together to against others (for example, me).
2,Japanese believes they are the best human in the whole world. Shanghaiese believes they are the best people in China. Well, I think I should warn Japanese. After a few years Shanghaiese maybe say " We are the best people in the whole world." I wonder who is going to win.
3,You said I should not say I am a "Beijingese" because I wasn't born in Beijing. Japanese says "no one could be a real Japanese unless he/she is born as a Japanese." I have to admit you are much better than Japanese because you didn't talk about do I have Beijingese blood or not.
As I worte you before, I don't want to change your mind and I won't change mine. Hope you don't be upset, I am just expressing my opinion.
I am always busy weekends because my husband is home and we always have a lot things to do together. Weekends alwasy pass faster than weekdays.
I decorated my home today and very happy with holiday decoration. I guess I should say some nice things to make other people happy. Maybe I should learn from Mrs. Jiang, Qing. As she tought all chinese to admire culture revolution "Culture Revolution is good, is good, is really good." Probably she is saying it in Shanghai style. I guess I am going to say " Shanghaiese is goo, is goo, is really good." Feel better? Smile 
You wrote that I am using Chinese and English. Looks like you don't like I write in English. I have to explain that my computer with Chinese system has problem with network card. I have to fix it. I prefer to use Chinese.
P.S. I don't remember I wrote any online novel. I don't think I have such talent, but I love to read good novel. Some people are really talented. I don't want anybody says I was pretenting I wrote novel afterwards. Especially I have to be very very careful here. |
