The original banner of this page is part of the work by Zhang Zeduan, a famous folk artist of the Song Period. Here is some information about the art and its author from wiki: Along the River During Qingming Festival (Traditional Chinese: 清明上河圖; Simplified Chinese: 清明上河图; pinyin: Qīngmíng Shànghé Tú) is generally attributed to the [...]

It is extremely rare that the city of Kaifeng, the glamorous capital of the Song dynasty, has ever caught the attention from outsiders. Today, even many Chinese have no idea what achievements that dynasty and the city have accomplished. Part of this comes from its buried memories lost in the wars, floods, and missing pages of a long history. Yet [...]

Among all the NBA and Houston Rockets cartoons that Li Quan has drawn, this one is my favorite. A quiet and polite T-Mac exploded when Yao Ming was knocked down on the floor by the nasty Seattle Supersonics’ Collison.
Frame one: Hello everyone. I am Nick Collison of the Sonics. This is my story. Today became my nightmare because I [...]

What a game yesterday between the Rockets and the Suns! Tracy McGrady nailed 39 points with this super cool spirit, and the entire game was so exciting! My favorite cartoon artist, Quan Li (http://blog.sina.com.cn/dazuiquan), drew a Matrix like McGrady. Never thought about it but then, it is so McGrady!

Part of the movie Hero was shot at Jiu Zhai Gou, a peaceful and beautiful place hidden in the valleys of Sichuan, and a short flight away from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province. I will visit this place in July. ^_^ Cannot wait to explore!

One of my favorite cartoon artists is Li Quan (http://blog.sina.com.cn/dazuiquan). His nick name is “Big Mouth Quan”. He draws a lot of cartoons about NBA games, with, of course, particular attention to Yao Ming and T-Mac’s Houston Rockets. He is pretty fast and the cartoons are quite funny. For this one, you know which team the Rockets [...]

My daily calendar has a picture of tropical fish. So I scanned it, cropped it and posted it. This picture makes me missing these days spent at Hawaii with Nick. Especially the snorkeling fun we had together at Hanauma Bay. Although getting there by bus in the morning was quite an experience (we ended up [...]

I previously watch the Rockets’ games because of Yao Ming. I still like him, but I also like a lot Shane Battier. He seems to me a quiet type, but he always gets this key moment of a game, and he can grab it and turn the game around. He may not appear to be [...]

Almost everyone was impressed, if not surprised, by my enthusiasm about the frequent-flier program. Nevertheless, as I always told them, compared to these real ”die-hard” fans, I am truly ordinary.
I have seen people flying from Spain to Japan and then turning back immediately, just to collect enough miles to maintain their status. All they talked about during the flight [...]

I finished booking these tickets. It took an entire afternoon. Going through as many as possible these discount travel agents for lowest fares, especially this time it is a trip for two. The airfare deal is pretty nice, but we end up leaving a couple of days later than we originally planned because these deals [...]
