with blessings toGong Zesheng & wife
A native of Tianjin, Gong Zezheng was my student at MIA in Kuala Lumpur.
He was also my housemate when I was teaching then.
Last year 2007, he has registered to get married; this May 2008, he plans to throw a wedding ceremony.

UDG in 2005These photos were taken on Sept. 23rd, 2005.
I joined UDG on May 8th, 2005 and my staff number was right on number 100. I was able to name all the employees then.
Today, there are close to 300 office staffs and I cannot recognize many of the new faces.
In other words, the number of employees has tripled in less than 3 years.
Just like China, UDG is also a World Factory.

SCO: Getting Ready for Summer
Shanghai Cooperative Organization (SCO) will be held in Shanghai Stock Exchange building from June 14th through June 18th. Like many white collars who burrow inside their individual cubicle and stare at the computer screen for at least eight hours per working day, together with teams of blue collars doing all the menial sanitary jobs, the Shanghai Stock Exchange building is also where I work and at the United Design Group.
The Building Management had in last week sent out circulars for all office tenants to take measures, holidays or make plans to meet possible needs to return to the building. United Design Group, therefore, has also in turn informed all the staff to go on holidays, if necessary adjusting workload accordingly. Holidays are in fact not for free; for all these inevitable cast from heaven holidays, all the staff has to return to work on the already scheduled or replaced work days, on June 10th and 11th weekend. In other words, before the SCO, all will have to work nine consecutive days before temporarily vacating the building for good.
Also from the newscast last night, China’s Premiere Hu was seen briefing the SCO’s organization committee at a large u-shaped conference table inside a magnificent conference hall.
This early morning, in true blue and bleached light gray uniforms, many of them smartly in white gloves, the City Management teams were out in their blue trucks rounding up the streets, living up to the management skills of delivering white glove tests. Out with their trucks sweeping the streets, all around the proximity area closer to the Shanghai Stock Exchange building, the City Management teams swiftly arrived in unison.
Those street vendors and squatters around the fringes of the existing residential as well as commercial buildings were the main targets in the extemporaneous move. Anything spillover or unsightly will be aimed. Crates of fruits and basketful of vegetables, weathered greasy furniture, gas tanks, podiums and large parasols, make shift discarded doors for temporary display, including all that is possible to be picked up, loaded and carted, were all bull-dozed away by the convoy of trucks. In between, and between some vigilante passers-by or the squatters themselves and the City Management teams, squabbles broke out, scuffles flared, words and tears flew.
The real life actions took place speedily and the City Management teams were gone soon after. In the aftermath, scatters and splatters were littered all over. A street cleaner came around to carry out the follow up. As I could afford the panoramic view to zoom in on the actions from my bedroom window, the light rain was slowly soaking up the street – this one-way street seemed more unusually in its isolated solitary and in time elongated stillness - with the street returned to its early morning normalcy later.
For me, I already have plans long time ago. Sending out an sms (short messaging system) or text to the former coworker to see if he could afford the extra time to facilitate my timing and go on a brief holiday like we went to Xi'an (Peace in the City due West) last year. At this point of writing, several options are proposed and eventual decisions could be taken impromptu.
Yesterday was the Fifth day of the Fifth month of the Lunar Calendar. According to conventional folkloric observation of China as well as many Chinese throughout the world, it was the Duanwu Festival or in other popular term, the Dragon Boat's Day. Today, the World observes the Children's Day. Don't forget —— on June 21st or Summer Solstice, summer arrives when day and night splits evenly.
And how I love summer.

Family Planning in China
Blogging my way out of China
The following is generally translated from an email by a lady friend, Fanny; in the email, planning and raising kids in China was mentioned:
Some form of learning process and certification are required when planning to raise children (I think, it is a child, or the child for its one-child policy), very typical in China. Due to family planning or Planned Parenthood, China necessitates raising quality children. A woman would have to go for (periodical) medical check up at the Women and Children Medicare Center. And to fill up a form in order to get a Pre-birth Medical Card (is required), of course, one would have to pay for it. (I hope it’s not some astronomical sum.) Then, the woman will go for regular check up at the hospital after being issued the Pre-birth Medical Card. Checking once every month is needed during the first 6 months of pregnancy, and twice a month after 28 (7 months) weeks and weekly after 36 weeks (9 months) into pregnancy.
Permit to Procreate is the other very important certification; this is to be applied for before giving birth. Otherwise, the hospital concerned will not deal with the case. (Darned hospital!) Applying for this permit is a rather troublesome process for one has to queue for Pre-birth Coursework. Both the parent of the baby soon to be are required to stay in the class for two days, later tests taken and graduate with a Certificate of Pre-birth Coursework. (Omigosh, even before the baby is born, it is already pre-tested to death via his or her parent to be…and think about the rest of his or her life facing all kinds of tests! This is ridiculous and incredible!) After graduated with the Certificate of Pre-birth Coursework, the following items are required in order to obtain the Permit to Procreate: together with Certificate of Pre-birth Coursework, Marriage Certificate, photographs of both parent, Registered Residence Certificate, Personal Identity Certificate, Proofs (of Employment, I supposed) from individual company where both parent are working, Proof of Pregnancy. (Well, at this point I am all exhausted, even trying my best to translate each of the required proofs or certificates.) Equipped with all these, the Permit to Procreate can be obtained at the Family Planning office and of the registered residence (Picky, picky!) of the mother to be. Approximately two to three months into waiting, the Permit to Procreate will be issued. Here, the key is to control population.
Fanny thought that there is not any other country besides China that will get into this Planned Parenthood system.
I thought – real tough, when all the fun has just begun! And what do you think?

The Year of Dog
It is not particularly a cold but rather a chilly winter for Shanghai. Shanghai is considered cold because of its high degree of humidity. The everyday temperature actually depresses the environment in general; it is gloomy and it is passive in mood. As Shanghainese infrequently nag about the weather in this city as 'passively cold' and reaching a certain unacceptable but inevitable level of physical discomfort. The sun peaks every now and then. The clothes take longer to dry. At this time of the year, I would opt to stay in the warm bed soon after a hearty dinner every evening, with stretching evening hours and care-less active hours, and unlike the hot, energetic and sweaty summer.
Most of the leaves on those Phoenix trees are long gone. Those fully grown trees really provide very effective shade in summer; they line nearly all the streets of Shanghai. Weeks ago before the cold snap, many sections of these streets were partially barricaded for the city street management teams to work in troops in various task actions: some were seen cropping the stark branches, some collecting the twigs, some sweeping the ground areas, and some directing instructions to passers-by. Many larger stumps were sawn, wrapped or sealed with blue plastic sheets; guess it is done to protect those stumps from freezing or losing moisture and for better growth when spring returns.
After tomorrow, my office UDG will be gone on leaves for 13 consecutive days, temporarily not operating in architectural business for the sake of approaching Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dog, and resumes work on February 7th. In the past several Saturdays, we all had to work our dues to replace for this longer holiday. Majority of the staffs is from out stations; they would have to travel long distance to return homes, several of them will travel for as long as more than a day or 24 hours on the road – all just for the sake to return home for annual family re-union due to the festive season. They will be adding to the number and stressing continental migration, from city to city, from Province to Province, on the way home as well as and on the way back to work after the festive celebration. Some will take buses and most will be traveling by trains, and nearly all of the transportation will be fully stuffed. Some will be out-migrating, taking advantage of the long leaves and travel to foreign lands, many are just in time to receive China with the newly bolstered open international receptions.
Last Thursday, UDG celebrated its annual dinner to express appreciation to all the staffs. It was rather a simple evening that lasted only two hours. Some simple drawing, giving and receiving of prizes to entertain for all as part and parcel of the multi-course dinner. Today, bonuses are all distributed by the Finance Department. Those who worked hard gathered and those who did not commit would be let go. New contracts will be signed or re-signed accordingly. Many will return homes with satisfactions to share with the families; some may have to look for new undertakings – such is the reality of life.
I would have to make a conclusion to say that the year 2005 was not particularly exceptional for me. I was not traveling much other than necessitated conditionally. I was not productive for I had not single creative literary done for myself other than driven by professional commitment. I worked hard and smart. I managed to set up the Research Department, though with little help but still had to commit to my personal as well as professional promises. I made many translations from English to Chinese. I got the in-house magazine done in five months and delivered just in time as gifts for all the staffs for this Chinese New Year.
What is my Chinese New Year resolution? Well, I do not have any for I never systematically planned for anything in life. What is my Chinese New Year plan? Well, again, I do not have any. Rather, I let my life grow organically, and most truly, savor the moment of life more than any mega expectation in life or in future. What is over was nothing to feel sorry for but projecting ahead is the key to meaningful ways of life.
Indeed, this is for sure. I will resume my literary output. Yes, I will take this whole lot of year to complete my fourth poetry book, which was half completed in Kuala Lumpur, retained and delayed by a few unexpected reasons, and before I arrived in Shanghai to start new working life in a foreign land again. In May 2006 this year, I would be in Shanghai for two years. And it's about time to regenerate my creative momentum and complete the planned fourth poetry book.
May this Year of Dog bring you lots of joy and prosperity!
Happy Chinese New Year to all!

Vincent Lim and I met again at MIA A&D Center in May 2007
Vincent Lim sent me to the KLIA Airport and we had light supper before I flew off to Shanghai.in May 2006Returning to Shanghai after the Labor Day Golden Week holiday
One of my former students, Vincent Lim has opted to travel two over hours from Malacca after work and sent me to KLIA or Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I was very pleased to see him while he looked forward to see me off also. Like everybody else, we all had not seen each other for a year since my last returning trip one year ago and right before the long Labor Day holiday. Vincent is a generous person, a gentleman. We chatted much to catch up on things past and recent. He is now a proud father of a10-month old baby girl. We said farewell when I had to go for my flight around a quarter before 1 a.m. And I truly miss all my friends, all my former students, and Vincent Lim when I was waiting for boarding. I was glad I got to see as many affectionate and congenial friends as I could in this way too brief holiday.
The second installment of China's long 7-day holiday, or the Golden Week of Labor Day holiday, is over - with me returning to Shanghai and resuming work but one day later due to travel agent's incompetent, unprofessional and irresponsible way of booking. The 5-hour over night flight touched down at 6:37 a.m. It was considered as a smooth and easy ride, not experiencing any turbulent all the way while the touch down was really perfect. The in-flight service was a little more than rushing when hurried to clear out those not so fresh meals; my all emptied out tray was picked up immediately. I did not mind over this quickie service but drowsed off into sleep. Having no choice but tucked in between two travelers, I truly hated this arrangement. The flight was all full and over booked.
All custom clearance was smooth and sound until I was stopped at the last luggage pick up and check point, where I was asked to open up luggage for inspection. The inspector found me carrying bags of coffee and three small boxes of medical supplies. Well, those little shake and dispose, individual bags of coffee appeared very suspicious when scanned. They put those bags of coffee through the scanner one more time. I opened one to demonstrate to them what those things were. The inspector was all convinced and let me go; it was a little hassle but they did in friendly ways. I was very pleased with the inspector's required job responsibilities in carrying out duties. This keeps all travelers safe and secure, maintains order, and all is well.
It was a rainy morning, light rain or drizzle. While the Line 5 Airport Coach scooted slowly, the traffic jam was actually building up all the way into the Pudong Business District. The Airport Coach took nearly an hour to arrive at the Dongfang Hospital drop off point and I arrived home near 8:30 a.m. After a speedy unloading of luggage and a quick warm shower, I shot off to work. I was 8 minutes late to arrive at work on this Tuesday morning on May 9th, 2006.
Returning to work after the Labor Day holiday, it is found that nobody is allowed to take any day off unless officially approved with further game plan to be coordinated due to approved absence. The amounting pressure of increasing workload prompted my boss to set off this strategy. UDG is now standing at 150 staffs and will be expanding to 200 by the end of the year. One high rise is already at the stage of being constructed in its overall façade and character. This requires team of professionals to carry through. Today, there is not much to shoot for other than a minor meeting with my boss about what to do next. I feel very slow for I was short of good sleep over night.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, Summer Begins on last Friday, May 5th, 2006. Although the temperature recorded at 18 degree Celcius today, chilly, drizzle in the morning and later rain by noon, however, I look forward to this summer.
