Fri, 16 May 2008 17:50:19 GMT

Summary Long before, homosexuality seems an unbelievable phenomenon to the public. As time goes on, the trend of homosexuality has become more common, people started to concern and worry about it and most of their attitude of homosexuality has also changed in recent decades. In this project, our group would like to know how the public think about homosexuality in Shenzhen nowadays. It can be seen that the quantity of homosexuals have increased sharply and many homosexual pubs appeared in different large cities. What we would like to know is whether it is a good phenomenon or it will do harm to our society.According to the fact that homosexuality is focused by more and more people. We would like to analyze the matter and offer some advice to the public. We found some references and the most important one is the new article which can support out statement. We also collect the main data from a face to face interview and our questionnaire that we have sent out.The reason why we interview the public is because we would like to know the public’s attitude to homosexuality and what its trend is going to be in the future. Introduction Nowadays, we are about to enter the age of freedom. The twenty-first century is the spiritually freest period which advocates love with freedom. However, there is a group of community who has no right to do that, such as homosexuals. There're about 5 to 10 million gays in China, according to an investigation by the Chinese Department of Health in 2004. So, today we see the figure is large and it's going to keep increasing gradually. The investigation also conveyed that the number of infections of AIDS between gays ranked second, just after transmission through heroin injection.Majority of the homosexuals have mental stress, because they think themselves can’t get the care and love from society, even their friends or family. Some of them are always biased by others, the only thing they can do is to hide themselves.As a newly built city, Shenzhen citizens own an opened-mind. Therefore, we chose this city to perform our survey. We are conducting this project to find out the attitude to homosexuality in Shenzhen. Consequently, we will give some suggestions as how to protect homosexuals and ensure their rights.

A beatiful place---Jiuzhaigou

Thu, 15 May 2008 15:43:45 GMT

In Sichuan province of mainland China, there is really beautiful and supernatural place named Jiuzhaigou. Everyone is amazed at its beauty and wonderful landscape. It is a paradise, a paradise bestowed by the God.
There are many multicolored lakes in Jiuzhaigou and they have different changes in every season. In spring the lake resembles a carpet of green grass; in summer the lake is splendidly decorated with blossomed flowers; in autumn the yellowness in the lake meets the eye in every side; in winter the lake remains a world of ice and snow.
Wucaichi, one of the most unique and smallest lakes of all, it is 100.8m in length and 56m in width. However, it is commonly believed that it is richest in color. Someone says that it looks like an emerald inlaid inside the hills. Many visitors usually stop to sit by the lake and seem to feel ease at heart. The water is ruffled, and its azure translucence below the water stretches to the bottom before your eyes. You may look in amazement at multi-colored water displayed at the bottom like inexhaustible treasures supplied by the God. Some visitors even doubt whether it is painted by the local people.

Introduction of Paris

Thu, 15 May 2008 15:41:41 GMT

Long considered the paragon of style, Paris is the most glamorous city in Europe. It is at once deeply traditional – a village-like metropolis whose inhabitants continue to be notorious for their hauteur – and famously cosmopolitan. While such contradictions and contrasts may be the reality of any city, they are the makings of Paris: consider the tiny lanes and alleyways of the Quartier Latin or Montmartre against the monumental vistas from the Louvre to La Défense; the multiplicity of street markets and old-fashioned pedestrian arcades against the giant underground commercial complexes of Montparnasse and Les Halles; or the aristocratic wealth of the grand quarters against the vibrant chaos of the poorer districts.
At times, Paris can feel inhumanly magnificent, the arrogance of its monuments encompassing the chilly pomp of the Panthéon, the industrial chic of the Eiffel Tower and the almost spiritual glasswork of the Louvre pyramid. Yet it also operates on a very human scale, with exquisite, secretive little nooks tucked away from the Grands Boulevards and very definite little communities revolving around games of boules and the local boulangerie and café. And even as Paris's culture is transformed by its large immigrant and gay populations, even as extravagant new buildings are commissioned and erected, many of the city's streets, cafés and restaurants remain remarkably, defiantly unchanged.
In the great local tradition of the flâneur, or thoughtful boulevard-stroller, Paris is a wonderful city for aimless wandering. Relaxed quarters such as the vibrant Marais, elegant St-Germain and romantic Montmartre are ideal for street-browsing, shopping and café-sitting, and the city's lack of open space is redeemed by beautiful formal gardens, by the pathways and pavements that run beside the River Seine, and by endless hidden or unexpected havens. And everywhere you go, historic landmark buildings and contemporary architectural wonders remind you of the city's pride and grandeur – and stop you getting lost.
There are over 150 art galleries and museums in the city – few of them duds – and an uncounted number of cafés, brasseries and restaurants lining every street and boulevard. The variety of style and decor is hard to beat, ranging from ultra-modern fashion temples to traditional, mirrored palaces, and from tiny bistrots where the emphasis is all on the cooking to bustling Vietnamese diners. After dark, the city's theatres and concert halls host inventive and world-leading productions of theatre and dance, while many classical concerts take place in fine architectural settings, particularly chapels and churches. Above all, Paris is a real cinema capital, and the city's vibrant cultural mix puts it at the forefront of the world music scene.
