Bear ahead?

This story, my story, happened in a thriving economy with its booming stockmarket once seeing no ceiling. When almost everyone around you were gaining fat profits simply by buying and selling shares and went into raptures at mere mention of it, even the most prudent and adamant saver would feel it is hard not to be attempted.

Equipped with basic knowledges of share investing, I bought some shares of a listed company at the price of 13.5. After a rocky start, the share price rocketed its way up to 29.3 at its peak within months, as the market turned to an orgy. Although my assets already more than doubled, my greed inflated even more: I refused to sell them unless the price reaches 30.

It is inevitable that bad thing happens. Since then, the shareprice began its downturn all the way to 11, showing no sign of turning back by now.

'Oh my God, someone has a gun ...'

This is an eyewitness account of a foreign resident in Lh@sa who took refuge in a hotel close to the centre of the t1betan capital yesterday. The city was gripped by violence after protesters and police clashed
 
"Oh my God. Oh no. That's crazy. One hundred people are trying to stone one man. A man was trying to cross the street with his motorcycle - they were trying to stone him but it's so crowded I can't see whether they got him or not.
 
"We came out for a walk about at about five today. I knew something was happening because there were a lot of people on the street. We were on Sera Street, which goes to the [Klukang] monastery. It sounds like the noise came from there; it sounds like at first they had been fighting in the temple.
 
"We saw people running and people in this hotel told us to get in quickly as the crowd was coming. They seem OK here, maybe the owner is t1betan. All the other hotels have smashed windows.
 
"The residents are very angry. They are throwing stones at anyone who is Han [Chinese] or from other minorities like the Hui, who are Muslims. It seems like it's ethnic - like they want to kill anyone not t1betan.
 
"I would say it's a riot here but I think in the centre it's worse. There's a lot of smoke - we can see it where there have been burnings. I heard people saying the authorities were firing, using guns. We don't know.
 
Here we have seen people trying to stone anyone they can - Han and other minorities, not foreigners. The t1betans had stones and knives. I saw Chinese people running away - there was nothing they could do.
 
"We don't see any police around here. Maybe they're all in the centre and are too busy. It's very violent.
 
"Oh my God. Someone has a gun in front of me. There's a group of about 20 people - two of them have handguns. They are walking the street.They're shooting. They didn't have uniforms, but the way they were in a group I thought maybe they were police. They went down the street and the first one fired, that's for sure - I think the others did; there was so much noise I can't be sure. Then some of the citizens threw stones, but not at them - in the other direction. So I don't know if they were police or maybe t1betans.
 
"I have just been out to get my things. We are staying at the hotel tonight. There are still people on the streets but only t1betans - if they see anyone Chinese they throw stones.
 
"Three times people raised their arms and then when they saw I was white they stopped it. The thing that surprised me most was that I saw no police or soldiers.
 
"I saw three people assaulting a man - I was 50 metres away, but I think he was Chinese. They kicked him and then one man had a knife and used it. He was lying on the floor and the man put the knife in his back, like he wanted to see he was dead.
 
"I had to get away, there were people throwing stones.
 
"When I came back he was gone - I don't know if he's dead. Then I saw people who had obviously been beaten or stoned. There wasn't blood on them but they were so shocked.
 
"This area used to be a place where t1betans and the Chinese were friendly.
 
"I think this is going to get worse. One person told me 300 people have died in the city centre [the Guardian has no information to substantiate this claim]. I just don't know."

Do not stand at my grave and weep

    Do not stand at my grave and weep

    I am not there. I do not sleep.

    I am a thousand winds that blow.

    I am the diamond glints on snow.

    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

    I am the gentle autumn rain.

    When you awaken in the morning's hush

    I am the swift uplifting rush

    Of quiet birds in circled flight.

    I am the soft stars that shine at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and cry;

    I am not there. I did not die.

大四下了

来了才知道,自己已经半年没来了。考研成绩10号晚上查到的,声讯电话里不报排名,记得得知分数后自己出奇的平静,大概是因为和自己的估计差不多的缘故吧。直到第二天在网上查到自己的排名,感觉进复试应该没什么问题,开始狂咳嗽,才发现自己一直很紧张(本人一紧张就会不自主地咳嗽)。今天下午打电话给财大研招办,研招办的老师死活不肯说分数线,说要等国家线出来才能定。自己死缠滥打、连哄带骗,终于从他们口中得出一个“(成绩)还可以”的评价,心总算稍稍放下了,然后直奔图书馆,把能找到的参考书都借来了,还从网上订购了一本,一门心思准备复试。
 
其实做到一门心思还不可能,五月初还得参加高级口译的口试,厚厚的一本口译书才翻了两页,另外还有9盒听译的录音没听。前两次口试都没过,第三次机会因为考研放弃了,这次再不过,笔试成绩就得作废了,这可是当年英文水平鼎盛时期考出来的,现在再考八成考不过了。当然还有毕业实习,毕业论文之类的事情,当然和上面比起来,只能算琐事了。
 
对了还有,前天把自己人生中的第一次工作面试献给了一家国际租赁公司。到了那家公司才知道,自己一个本科生竟然跳过人事部的一面,直接进了二面(严重怀疑对方搞错了)。二面的感觉像参加了一场财大硕士的同学会,随便问了三个,都是财大硕士,底薪要5000-6000。自己写了个3000,后来怕别人把自己看扁了,索性改成5000(本来想改4000的,不太好改,改完就后悔了)。面试简直是场噩梦,公司的董事长、总经理和财务总监都来了,一共七八个人Vs我一个(第一次这么受抬举)。看得最顺眼的是那个坐在一边埋头记笔记的,后来他用带有浓重北方口音的英语问了我几个现在看来很简单的问题,可惜我当时没听懂。面试结束后,觉得还是考上研的可能性大一点。
 
不过也不是没有收获的,我抓住机会向财大硕士们讨教了复试的问题,还留了手机号。出门的时候第一次近距离瞻仰了新任中华第一高楼--环球金融中心。
