The Four Masterpieces of Literature in China

Let's take a look at the English names of the four masterpieces of literature in China.

It's good to memorize them in case you were asked in some point of your life.

  • Journey to the West - 《西游记》
  • A Dream of Red Mansions - 《红楼梦》
  • Water Margin - 《水浒传》
  • The Three Kingdoms - 《三国演义》

Future X-Cops



Some people like to write down games that they work through, and I like to write down movies that I watch, be it good or bad. Watching movie has been a luxury activity for me, as work has encroached most of my time, and study took up the scarce rest.

I couldn't remember the time when I watched a movie alone, though I did remember the last movie I watched was the non-3d Avatar, which I enjoyed with my darling in a cinema.

Amazed by the Future X-Cops trailer, which shows several heart-stirring scenes of Andy Liu fighting a bunch of half-robot-half-human evildoers, I downloaded it with great expectation. This is the first substandard movie that came right into my eye this year. So much so that I couldn't even finish watching it! What are you doing Andy Liu, shooting a movie like this is like putting stains on your overall movie career. The plastic version of iron man really made me sick and not to say all the cheap special effects throughout the flick.

Two words for this movie - it sucks.

Have Been Busy These Days

Alas. I've been under huge workload these days. Taking multiple jobs and at the same time my house decoration program is in full swing. I'm really a busy man. However, I always look on the bright side. I'm sure I will soon find my rest as the house decoration program is close to an end plus I start to become adapted to my new career. (call me a quick learner? I really am! XD)

Life is always great, if you manage to find a joyous way to look at it!

I'm Reading Again

I've started reading English books again after so many years away from anything textual. I feel great about it and the feeling of regaining some of my lost writing power is real and welling up in every inch of my mind. I was once a prolific blogger but was later hindered by daily busyness. Now I would like to announce a comeback. The abrasive blogger is back on track and is planning to seed his blog full of literary flowers! Once again, my blog will become an active place where you can find insights, dirty jokes and nonsenses. But before that, I would first go ZZZ. See you guys!
