The 50th Friendly Greeting From Shirley, China, Sun, Aug 14, 2006

Hi,Dear Friends

How are you? Have you had a good week? I do hope you are well and have a relaxed and easy weekend.

This week, my 3 business projects and 1 management project entered a new step. The biggest one has become the main software development project to get more technology support. The two short term projects will be finished in the early of Sep, and the management project will be finished in Dec. Besides, I completed a paper over 10,000 words on how to learn the experience of Bloomberg (the U.S.) and Reuters (Britain) and innovate something in the company.... :-)

At home, many things were re-fixed this week: During the process, I feel the first class service in our city once more. :-)

I found one of air-conditions was dropping water last weekend, so, I called the service department of Mitsubishi at about 11:00 am last Sat. and it was ok at about 4:00pm on Sun. :-)

Monday night, one of my digital Televisions did not work and I called the digital TV company at about 0:35 and wanted to leave a message. However, I heard a girl clerk’s voice. She asked me what she could help and she said that they work for 24 hours and my problem would be resolved within 24 hours. That was true, next noon, before 12:00, an engineer came to my home and made the digital television re-work. Can you imagine? Their daily service work is free. :-)

The thing that most wondered me is that on Fri, I called the Shenzhen branch company of China Telecommunication to ask to update my Broad Band connection at about 3:30pm. At about 5:30pm, I got a phone call from their fixing department to ask me when would be convenient for them to come to my home on Sat. Wow! I was so surprised and so touched by their super quick speed work indeed... :-)

As one of the builders of the city, I have taken part in the building of the city and I have seen with my own eyes -- how the city has changed to be a most modern one from a huge building site quickly. How the city has changed to be a so flourishing one from an empty one in the most of the holiday ? 13 years ago, even in the most important festival -- Spring Festival. Whole of the city was almost empty for most of people went back home in the inland. I have made a joke that in the Spring Festival ? if there were only two people in a bus, then, one would be the driver, the other would be you. :-) But now, no mater what time, there are always so many people, especially in the holidays and weekend, I am seldom go to the publish occasions as long as I can for too many people there. Now, more and more young people have chosen Shenzhen to develop, more and more elder people have chosen here to live. The modern skyscrapers, subway, international airport, Internet service, digital television, natural gas… and its first class service has made the city to be the host of the International High-Tech Fair of China yearly, the International Culture Exposition of China yearly, the International Garden Exposition of China and the 26th World Academician Games. Our city has become one of the most modern cities in China and an International garden city in the world…

I am just a learner on art, music, English and the work on the web site in my free time. Anyway, I would really like to do a little bit things with what I have learned to make this little web site to beAn Electronic Bridge Of Culture Exchange, Friendship, and Language Learning. During the process to help the others and to improve myself. :-)

I do appreciate your understanding, directions and supports. I do hope to get your great help continuously now and in the coming time...
