TEE: Teki Editorial Everywhere

I went to Commercial Press (Chinese: 商務印書館) bookstore in Tsim Sha Tsui because I missed a bus last night. I attended a seminar of Leung Man Tao (Chinese: 梁文道) held in the bookstore. The seminar's topic was "Whether there is any method of Reading?" (Chinese: 讀書有沒有方法？). He said that the reading method of many Hong Kong people was target oriented while he preferred targetless style. Unlike many readers, he enjoyed discovering questions in reading instead of answers. I think my style of travel as well as that of reading is similar to his. Triggered by a simple reason, I picked a book up and continued reading it. It's time to review what I have read for a year. Lettera a una professoressa The book title means "Letter To a Teacher" in Italian. It was authored by a group of students in Barbiana, a rural town of Italy. Leung Man Tao recommended this book, which was authored by students who were entitled as bad students under then education system, to criticize the ...

Last week, I had an individual tour of visiting the Southern Taiwan, including Kaohsiung (Chinese: 高雄), Alishan (Chinese: 阿里山) and Kenting (Chinese: 墾丁). Since I have learnt the difficulty of organizing an individual tour of Taiwan, I would like to share it by authoring a guide of Individual Tour of Kaohsiung, Alishan and Kenting. Please click here to download the guide (Title: 森林と海洋のあいだ). The guide is Chinese only. For non-Chinese readers who are interested, please send me your questions at tekichan@gmail.com . For photos of the tour, please browse the following albums: Vernon's Photo Album of Taiwan Trip My Photo Album - Kaohsiung , Alishan , Kenting PS: Backpackers Forum Post

When I passed through a public estate tonight, a glass bottle suddenly dropped down beside me. A body dropped down beside me too about a decade ago. I could witness both accidents and I am fine. It proves that my life is assigned by the heaven, no devil could hurt me. 我命繫於天，惡邪焉能害我哉！

Returning Home (Chinese: 陶淵明) by Tao Yuan Ming (Chinese: 歸去來辭) was a mandatory text of Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (Chinese: 香港中學會考). It is supposed that most of teens have memorized that poem, yet a few of them would still remember that after the exam. Even amongst politicians, Hong Kong people who can quote that in their daily life are rare. On the other hand, according to Yomiuri Shimbun (Japanese: 読売新聞), Kawashima Tatsuhiko (Japanese: 川嶋辰彦), the father of Kiko, Princess Akishino (Japanese: 文仁親王妃紀子), quoted a sentence of that poem, "Or sit by a clear river side, Composing poems worthy of my pride." (Japanese: 清流に臨みて詩を賦す, Chinese: 臨清流而賦詩), to express his feeling after his daughter gave birth to a baby boy for the Japanese imperial family. Perhaps he understated a meaning of the quote's successive sentences: "Let me abide by the law of nature to lead a life of nature. Let me submit to the will of Heaven and be content with my fate forever!" ...

四．想念　Think Of Me 「我好掛著你呀（廣府話：我很想念你）。」 當ＣＯＣＯ一看見ＫＡＴＨＹ出閘，便立即上前擁抱著她了，然後偎依一番。多謝ＪＡＣＱＵＥＬＩＮＥ的好友ＪＡＭＥＳ早上便駕車來接載我們前往ＬＡＧＵＡＲＤＩＡ　ＡＩＲＰＯＲＴ，等待從ＯＲＬＡＮＤＯ前來的ＫＡＴＨＹ。ＫＡＴＨＹ因工作關係而幾個月前已經來到美國，所以就算剛剛下機，看來她的精神也不錯。為了爭取時間，當我們在ＪＡＣＱＵＥＬＩＮＥ的家放下行李，便馬上開始新一天的行程。 ＪＡＣＱＵＥＬＩＮＥ首先帶領我們乘地鐵前往位於曼克頓北部的哥倫比亞大學。這個景點原本不是我們計劃行程之內，不過也許知我者的ＪＡＣＱＵＥＬＩＮＥ覺得我會喜歡參觀這個地方吧。真的，哥倫比亞大學真是不可不去。哥倫比亞大學不但是世界頂尖的知名學府，常春藤盟校之一，而且也是最早接受中國留學生的美國大學之一，文化界大師級人馬胡適和蔣夢麟都畢業於該校。徐踏同路，回望前塵；見賢思齊，睹物憶人。 不愧百年老校（１７５４年成立至今已經不止一百年了），古風依然，從一邊閘門穿過ＣＯＬＬＥＧＥ　ＷＡＬＫ到另一閘門，所到之處，古典建築臨立，尤其是分別屹立在路徑中段兩旁的仿古羅馬建築物　－　ＢＵＴＬＥＲ　ＬＩＢＲＡＲＹ和ＬＯＷ　ＭＥＭＯＲＩＡＬ　ＬＩＢＲＡＲＹ（其實是現在大學的行政中心）。在ＢＵＴＬＥＲ　ＬＩＢＲＡＲＹ的頂樓上刻有古代先哲的名字： Homer, Herodotus, Sophocles, Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Cicero, Vergil 在ＬＯＷ　ＭＥＯＭＲＩＡＬ　ＬＩＢＲＡＲＹ的頂樓上則刻有： King's College Founded in the Province of New York By Royal Charter in the Reign of George II Perpetuated as Columbia College by the People of the State of New York When they became Free and Independent - Maintained and Cherished from Generation to Generation For the Advancement of the Public Good and t...
