Nobel prize

Nobel prize is a kind of focus of discussions these days. Some informed about the Nobel prize winning plan of the Japanese government, and pointed out that we cannot be unconvinced by their performance. Somebody talked about his/her experience when watching the Argonaut live-recording from the space, and said that while the Chinese, numbered around 300 in the self-study hall, were so excited, one Japanese, who was in the same hall and watching the TV programme together with Chinese, felt quite proud of Japanese too, because all the recording equipments are made in Japan. I was kind of amused. This Japanese said, that it is not that the Japanese are lacking of scientific ability to develop the space defence technology, the thing is that they rather like to put more emphasis on practical life.

Concerning the ABC chemical Nobel prize winner, it seems that there are quite a lot noise criticising his way of denouncing his Chinese identity. To me, that is totally out of focus. No matter who he/she is, one has the free right to choose his/her own identity. This is the way to express his/her social inclination. And one is allowed to express ones own feeling upon ones own experience. If this is a sin, why don't you Chinese government equip a convenient enough environment for the scientists to win a Nobel prize with their intelligence? Certainly, politically and economically.

Regarding the literature prize winner, I am quite astonished by the fact that there are 6 books from this Le Clezio existing in the book market of China. Again, the phenomena in China make me speechless. I simply feel that there are too many things hard to give a convincing enough explanation.
