Bartender, an interesting job Most people think a bartender is just a special waiter in a bar. The bartender is an evil job. Liquors make people drunk, liquors make people crazy, and liquors make people crime. But bartenders mix liquors, and they sell liquors to people. However, after I watched “BarTender” which is a Japanese anime, I suddenly changed my thinking of this job. Bartenders are the artists. They do not just mix liquors; they make cocktails which are like works of art. Margarita was created by John Durlesser at the All American Cocktail Contest in 1949. John Durlesser was a bartender at the Los Angeles restaurant, Tail’O the cock. When he was young, he had gone hunting with his beautiful girlfriend. Unfortunately, his girlfriend was hit by a stray bullet and died. Margarita was taken from the name of his girlfriend who had died twenty-three years before the contest. In these years, he must be thinking of her every day. In Margarita, there are lemon juice which represents his feeling, salt rim which represents his tears, and Tequila which represents his Mexican girlfriend. Margarita is a cocktail of love. Maybe you will think it just a fictitious story which was created by John Durlesser because he wanted to win the contest. In fact, this story was revealed decades later. In a 1970 interview, John Durlesser said for the first time that Margarita was the name of his dead lover. In other words, the story was not at all for publicity. Bartenders are inventors. Bloody Mary is a good example. One of the most famous stories about Bloody Mary is about Prohibition. Bloody Mary was created during the time of Prohibition. There is tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice in this drink. It looks like a tomato juice. There are also some spices or flavorings in it so that you cannot easily taste the vodka. It is very popular at that time because it can avoid police investigation. The bartender is a strong job. A company president would never talk about his problems to others. However, in a bar, any customer will be an ordinary person. While the customer speaks to bartender, they are actually conversing with their own hearts and their own past. Therefore, a bartender’s most important job is to listen to the customers’ stories. Stories about spirits are nothing more than the impetus for that. For this reason, bartenders should have a high quality, and have enough knowledge. They should be able to help customers solve problems, and make them be happy when they are in a bar.

The Revival Of Hanfu The Hanfu movement is an unofficial national revival movement which is held by young people (although there are some elder people, most of them are young) who are the Han Chinese. This movement is not just pure dressing up, going with the trend or exercising one’s individuality. The more important meaning is to get to a stage where Hanfu becomes an accepted part of clothing that can be worn without the need to justify to others for wearing it as well as reviving cultural traditions. Hanfu is the traditional costume of the Han Chinese, and it is representative of the traditional culture of the Han nationality, so we want to promote the traditional culture of Han nationality throughout wearing Hanfu. Some Hanfu revivalists suggest Han Chinese to wear Hanfu for holidays, weddings, birth parties, and so on. The others advice Han Chinese should wear Hanfu in everyday life, but it is impossible because people changed their habits of life, and everything is not like 400 years ago any more. In fact, there are also some people oppose the Hanfu movement. The main reason is they think the revival leans too far in the direction of a narrow nationalism, and people focus on looks more than content. Hanfu only could represent Han nationality, and it couldn’t stand for the other 55 nationalities in China, although Han nationality has the most of Chinese people. This also is the main reason why the Chinese Central Government’s official Website portal used a portrait of a woman in Hanfu to represent the Han nationality on the introductory page of the 56 ethnic groups, but the Chinese Olympic Committee rejected to use Hanfu for the official clothing for the Chinese 2008 Summer Olympics. As one of the Hanfu revivalists, I joined in Vancouver Hanfu Culture Society in last year. We always have some activities to promote the culture of Hanfu. For example, we took part in the parade which was held in Chinatown on Feb. 2rd, 2014. Through those various activities, more and more people start to be interested in the traditional culture of Han nationality. We believe that Hanfu will be known by more and more people because it is a beautiful thing.

The Revival Of Hanfu Hanfu is a traditional clothing system of Han nationality in China. It is an important culture of Han nationality. People wore Hanfu throughout 4000 from Xia Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. In Qing Dynasty, the emperor didn't allow people to wear Hanfu because he was a Manchu (another nationality). The emperor asked people to wear Manchu's traditional clothes to show their loyalty, and if they didn't wear, they would be killed. For this reason, Hanfu disappeared and people forgot it day by day. However, in today’s world, people start to pay attention to Hanfu, and wear Hanfu again. The turning point was a man who wore Hanfu and walked on the street in November 22th, 2003. This man is Letian Wang; he was the first person who wore Hanfu in public after 360 years. When he walked on the street, there were lots of people who thought he was Japanese because Hanfu was very similar to traditional Japanese clothes (in fact, the origin of traditional Japanese clothes was Hanfu). Letian Wang felt sad that people didn't know their own clothes, and he also felt that he had the responsibility to promote the culture of Hanfu. In 2004, he went to Hangzhou, and wore Hanfu when he worships a famous ancestor with some friends who also wanted to promote the culture of Hanfu. They got a global attention as well as Hanfu. This year is an important year for Hanfu because more and more people paid attention to Hanfu and a Hanfu movement started. At the same time, Hanfu started to be popular in overseas Chinese and Chinese students who studied in a foreign country, and there were many Hanfu societies to be built in Japan, Australia, Germany, Britain, Canada, and so on.

An Unusual Life The third important thing of my grandmother happened in the Culture Revolution. The Cultural Revolution happened in 1966, it was a catastrophe for Chinese people, as well as my grandmother’s family. Because of this event, China lost a lot of intellectuals and many of the central leaders. The chairman of China wanted to prevent the restoration of capitalism. Unfortunately, her father was a supermarket manager, and he was very successful and rich at the moment. As a result, the Chinese government regarded him as a capitalist and a counter-revolutionary. In the end, her father killed himself because he didn’t want to be treated as a traitor. A few months after, her mother also killed herself because she was too sad to live, and she could not bear the pressure from society. My grandmother lost her parents which was a severe blow to her in that year. Luckily, although her sister, brother, and her family were all intellectuals, they survived in this case. The last important thing of my grandmother is her husband’s death. My grandfather died before I was born. My mother said he died because his patients always smoked in his office when he was working. He never smoked when he was alive so that he could not against the toxin of cigarette, but he was forced to smoke day by day. At last, he died because of lung cancer. From his photos, I can see he is a grace person because he smiled in every photo, and he is a handsome gentleman who had delicate features. My grandmother took care of him every day during his illness, and she was so tired that she had a lot of white hair almost in one night. My mother also told me that his medical skills were wonderful so that my mother’s workmate always asked him for help. In his spare time, he always created some new medicine for skin diseases. Although her life is remarkable, she just wants to be a common person who has a happy family. She retired from hospital in 2002, and she lives with us. She loves to travel to other countries, such as England, France, Italy, and so on. She almost goes abroad once a year. She loves to chart with people. She always spends a half day outside, sometimes she charts with neighborhoods, sometimes she charts with friends who she meets in the market, sometimes she even charts with strangers whose hobbies are the same as her. She can do everything she wants to do now. Although she has so many terrible experiences, she is still optimistic.

An Unusual Life She is my grandmother. She was born in 1943, the time of the World War II. Her father was a supermarket manager, and her mother was a housewife. She has an older sister, and an older brother. There is a Chinese word “月” in her name. The meaning of this word is the moon. Her father gave her this name because he dreamt of the moon when his wife was pregnant. There are some significant things in her life. The first thing is her first love. When she was 20 years old, she fell in love with a military officer. She describes him as a handsome guy with black hair, brown eyes, a beautiful nose, and ruddy lips. At that time, the military officer was a very popular job for people, so her father also accepted this man as a son-in-law. However, the leader asked this man to move to another city before my grandmother got married so that her father changed his mind. Her father didn’t want her to leave family because her sister and brother were already away from home. Her parents didn’t want his last child to leave them; they would feel lonely, if they lived without any of their children when they were seniors. As a result, she broke up with this man. After few years, she met a man who would be my grandfather. This would be the second significant thing in her life because this man would be her first and the last husband. My grandmother became a pharmacist after she graduated from high school, and my grandfather was a dermatologist. They worked in the same hospital. They saw each other every day, and they were attracted to each other. After a period of time, they started dating. But in China, people think a couple coming from the families of equal status is very important; this ensures their marriage will be forever. So her father didn’t accept this relationship because this man came from a poor family, and yet her father held a grand wedding for his daughter and this dermatologist, because this man proved himself to her father with his extraordinary medical skills. Finally, my mother was born when she was 26 years old.
