As a person who lives in the tropical regions, it is surprising to me to see the snow. The snow doesn't like rain, which would fall down to the ground. The snowflake is floating in the air, looks like mushroom flies through the air.
Does anyone would like to suggest me articles or songs related to the snow?

Tomorrow is lunar new year's eve. This year is my second times not celebrating the holiday in Taiwan. My mom is worried whether I have a big feast with friends or other people. From her perspective, it is a important day to be with people. However, I feel relieved that I am not in Taiwan because I was accostom to do what I want on normal days. Go back home means I have to be a son, a relative and youngsters. I am not familiar with these characters for a year. But I have to play these roles in my holiday, it should be the day of relaxed. Wish the life could back to the day without corona virus. Stay healthy, every one.

My first encounter with Christian
My hometown is very small, about 1000 people in a small village.
It is easy to recognize strangers, not to mention foreigners.
I remembered I was ten years old; I rode my bike home.
I saw a foreigner with suit and he sat on his bicycle looking for something.
We had a short talk.
He is a Christian and came here to preach and showed me some Christian pictures.
On the picture, there is a man hanging on the Cross.
He said his name is Jesus. He voluntarily offered himself and was crucified as the ultimate, blameless sacrifice.
Human beings are born with an innate guilt.
This is an interesting experience because I was not fully understood what he means.
What is the difference between God in Christian and God in Daoism? They all call it God.
Are all the foreigners do not afraid of heat? Because he can wear suits in a such hot day when ridding the bike.
I just saw the Chinese psychic yesterday, are they the same?
So when I read Timothy Brook’s article, one of the points is Jesuits to China in seventeen century describe Europe as a Christian kingdom.
Not only the people in seventeen century in China believed it, me too. For a year, I thought every people in Europe or America are Christian.
In Zhu’s work, he criticized Daoism and BUDDISM but neglect Confucian.
This is part of the Strategy of preaching. But I do think that Chinese people are not easy to distinguish the difference between these religious at the first time.

Cognitive Dissonance for asian students in Europe
If you read some articles about Asian students in Europe during corona virus period, the biggest question for them is: “Why European do not wear facial mask?” From my perspective, the question not only represent hygienic habit or life style but also incomprehensible event in culture studies.
Europe represent advanced institution, pioneered spirit and openness in Asia. Asian people leave their home country to get more opportunities in study and salary. That is how lots of people in Asia imagine Europe or America. However, there is gap between imagination and reality. In culture studies, we have orientalism and self- orientalism. Nonetheless, there is some research about westernization but not many. The outbreak of corona virus force Asian students to break their bubbles.
The report toward corona virus between Europe and Asia is upheaval. In January, People live in Asia know what happened in China: the disease is easy to spread and fatal . That is why we still can not. However, when you put down the phone and watch outside, the situation in Europe remain the same. Therefore, some of my friends start to complain. For me, encountering come situations that I could not understand, I will keep asking myself: What stop me from making consensus with each other or feel the same way? Where is the anxiety comes from?
I call the complaint and anxiety “Cognitive Dissonance”. Cognitive Dissonance is used to describe the feeling of discomfort that result when your beliefs run counter to your behaviors and new information that is presented to you. Men seek to belong to some group, and that the need for this is a basic need, and that they seek for the recognition by their fellows of their status and their rights. They lost their navigation in life so the anxious emotion comes before actions. It is not easy for people to convince other people without the same experience. As for me, I have never met Sars before, but h1n1 happened when I was in high school. There are two people died in the same day for h1n1 next to my class. Even though I have not talked to them before, but they are about my age. It could be me. That is the first time that I can sense death. I think that is why Hong Kong in early times have been tested more people in Wuhan. Because lots of people died during Sars period in Hong Kong.

Coronavirus pandemic
2020/03/18 I will remember this day forever. This has been absolutely one of the most weird days of my life.
When I woke up, my cellphone kept vibrating. I received lots of messages asking will I go back to Taiwan or not, is it enough food there…and so on. Everyone ask the same questions. My family and friends think the situation in Europe could not be worse.
Indeed, more and more people in Germany have been tested for the coronavirus nationwide. The sport facilities and libraries were closed from last Friday.I can not buy the noodles I used to eat so I take the other one. Lots of inconveniences caused by coronavirus. However, it seems that another virus is spreading in Taiwan.
I read some articles about international students in England return home for refugee. Almost every news written in Chinese use the same eye-catching picture. About 12 people wear hand sanitizers, face masks and protective clothing sitting together in the airplane. I think that is why my family want me back. Sensational titles and striking pictures make people create their miserable story.
The influence of this news not just that. People in Taiwan believed that the people from Europe will put everyone at risk. Therefore, the aisles and aisles of empty store shelves give the appearance in Taiwan, improbably and alarmingly, is running out of food. The food supply chain, they say, remains intact and has been ramping up to meet the unprecedented stockpiling brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.Still, the fear is palpable. The more empty shelves people see, the more panic-buying ensues, the more food is out of stock.
The terrible news make people hopeless. To take back control of their life, all they can do is to buy more things to feel safe. Hope it will end as soon as possible.

Can you help me correct?
Crique on Chang’s work-1
One of the pitfalls in studying Chinese academic history in general and its modern transformation in particular is that of oversimplification. Chang did not fail to appreciate the complexity of his research topic. First, he illustrate the thinking pattern of transformation scholars to show the multiple layers of academic context. Second, he choose the proper terms in contemporary academic to help readers to understand the importance of his research object. Take this article as an example, he use “Intellectual history” to characterize Meng's writing style. Through Meng's example, Chang is trying to draw the difference between traditional and modern academic in China, besides, he also attempts to revive ideas of Confucianism and history by invoking Meng.
In Chinese history, Confucianism and history contain "timeless elements,"in the form of "universal ideas,"even a "dateless wisdom" with "universal application. However, from modern standard, the dateless value should separate from history narrative. The role of historian no longer play the role of moral educator. Liu Xian Si is one of the example. He call his history perception “Daoism historic perspective” This historic perspective is open to all interpretations. The mission of historian is to understand the history trend and illustrate objectively. Meng also viewed as hold the same history perception with Liu, however, in Chang’s argument, they are totally different.
