TAKE ME AS I AM1月5日 一年前写的文章An Inner Mongolian Childhood: A Piece of Peace
by Christian Yang
I always believe that one’s life experience can be told from the places he has roamed and the place he calls home. Although I’m only 23 years old, I have been to several different provinces and many different cities in China. Of course, these journeys are filled to the brim with excitement and curiosity, but what I cherish most is the place of my roots, the place that I called home first.
Tianjin is my hometown and the city in which I’ve spent most of my life. However, my magical childhood was experienced in a very small town in Inner Mongolia. Close to the city of Tongliao, the village of Dalin is the treasure box which contains many of my boyhood memories.
To begin the story, I should tell you something about my parents. My father is a Tianjin native. He was a middle school student when the Cultural Revolution started. During that time, Chairman Mao insisted that young intellectuals in the cities go to the countryside to be reeducated by the peasants. Therefore, at the end of the Cultural Revolution, a lot of young students of my father’s generation were sent to the countryside all over China.
In August 1968, my father came to the village where my mother lived. It is a very small village, named Qianjin, belonging to the city of Tongliao. Through a friend’s introduction, my father got to know my mother. They fell in love and got married in 1978. In 1985, I and my twin brother were born. We spent the first 6 years of our lives in the village of Dalin. Later, because of change in policy, my family was able to come back to Tianjin in 1991, when I was only 7 years old.
My memories of the life in that small village have been vague and remote. In my recollection, there weren’t any tall buildings, street lamps and even no tap water in the village. Instead of smooth blacktop, pot-holed and dusty dirt roads made up the byways. The wind was so strong in spring and autumn that people could hardly keep their eyes open or keep themselves standing, let alone walk. I remember that one time, my father went to the kindergarten to pick me and my brother up after work. He rode us home by bicycle, with me on the back seat and my brother on the front bar. The wind was so strong that my father’s bicycle collapsed in the heavy gusts, hurling my brother and me into the river by the side of road. Soaked, muddy, and cold, we hopped back on the bike as if nothing had happened at all.
Although the climate and living conditions were not very favorable, the memories I collected there were sparkling diamonds. The big yard in front our house shined the brightest as my favorite hangout. My parents planted various types of vegetables in the yard and it became lush green in summer. Moreover, we raised some roosters and ducks in our yard. Early mornings began with the familiar crow of the rooster. Sounds such as these vanished upon our family’s move to Tianjin, and this special slice of peaceful village life is what I miss most.
This unmatchable peace was also embodied in the woods not far from my home. I remember digging for worms there with my friends in the embrace of giant poplars. Every Fall, they would shed their brilliant colors, weeping autumn’s tears that glistened in the harvest sun. Winter’s whispers soon hushed that bare-branched forest to sleep, as pigeons scampered on fresh beds of velvet powder; they disappeared in blankets upon blankets of clean snow.
I graduated from college last year. It was the culmination of my growing up years in Tianjin. I have witnessed the tremendous growth in this ever-changing city. As I continue to mature, keeping pace with newly raised skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of a modernizing Tianjin, my mind never fails to drift to a small and remote village in Northeastern China.
9月30日 May you have...May you have... Enough sun to keep your attitude bright, Enough trials to keep you strong, Enough sorrow to keep you humane, Enough hope to keep you happy, Enough failure to keep you humble, Enough success to keep you eager, Enough loss to appreciate all that you possess, Enough friends to give you comfort, Enough wealth to meet your needs, Enough enthusiasm to look forward, Enough faith to banish depression, Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday. 2月3日 在Tomorrow杂志头刊上写的文章发表了Tianjin football: A rich history; a brighter future
by Christian Yang
In the modern history of China, Tianjin has always been a city of great importance. In the past, it was a military stronghold, providing coastal defense for the country. Today, it continues to maintain its status as the portal of Beijing. Tianjin has always been known as a very important city in Northern China. After the Treaties of Tianjin was signed at the end of the Second Opium War, which opened Tianjin to foreign trade, the Eight-Power Allied Forces (England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, US, Russia and Austria-Hungary) occupied Tianjin. The soldiers of the allied armies considered football the king of sports. Accordingly, the English and French boasted of having the best players, and therefore, they were the ones who built stadiums and organized football games in Tianjin. Gradually, more and more local people became interested in this exciting game. The natives started to play football themselves, with ultimately students from Tianjin’s private religious schools acting as the trailblazers for the sport. Later, with more people getting involved in football, and more teams competing against each other, Tianjin football eventually developed into a very competitive force in China, ranking among the top 4 teams along with Hongkong, Guangdong and Shanghai. After the People’s Republic of China was founded, “tremendous changes” were the words of the day. Just like everything else in China, Tianjin football had also taken on a new look. In 1953, three young players, Zhang Junxiu, Sun Baorong and Wang Jinfeng were selected by the Chinese national team. Thus, they became the first three Tianjin players on the Chinese national football team. In 1957, Tianjin won its first national championship in the “National Youth Football Championship Series,” which turned over a new leaf in the history of Tianjin football. From 1957 to 1989, Tianjin won 16 championships and 15 runner-ups in all sorts of matches nationwide. With their first trip to the Soviet Union in 1958, they had visited 16 different counties and played 103 games overseas by 1989. By 1994, Chinese football took its first step towards the professional level. Under the leading of the Coach Lin Xinjiang, the Tianjin team successfully advanced from the secondary league to the top league. Unfortunately, however, they fell back into the secondary league 3 years later in 1997, which was a great shock to this traditional football city. After this painful experience, the people of Tianjin decided to rebuild their club. The two former teams of Samsung and Vanke were combined to build a new club “TEDA” (Tianjin Economic and Technology Development Area). Finally, Tianjin TEDA went undefeated in the 1998 season, once again sending their team to the top league. Today, Tianjin football has developed into a force which has received the attention of the football world. In the past 40 years, more than 50 national team players have come from Tianjin, and Tianjin is especially well-known for its supply of superior goalkeepers. In August 2004, Tianjin TEDA’s new home stadium “TEDA Football Stadium” was completed. It is a world-class professional football stadium which has a capacity of 36,000. The stadium provides excellent views of the playing field from any angle. This year, Tianjin TEDA finished 6th in the Chinese Super League standings, the same place as last year. Although they did not improve in the standings, their growth throughout the season has been apparent. If they can be more aggressive in front of their opponents’ penalty area, they will most likely find themselves atop the league table sooner rather than later.
天津足球：光荣的历史与美好的明天
杨明喆
在中国的近代史中，天津一直是一个非常重要的城市。由于历来是海防要塞，又是首都门户，天津被视为北方重镇。第二次鸦片战争末期天津条约签订后，天津被辟为通商口岸，八国联军(英、法、德、意、日、美、俄、奥匈)入侵占领天津。这些入侵军队里的体育活动以足球最为盛行。其中，英军和法军是踢得最好的两个。他们修球场，搞比赛，渐渐地，越来越多的国人对这项迷人的运动产生了兴趣。人们开始自己练习着踢足球，当时天津教会学校中的学生成了这项运动的开路先锋。 随后，随着更多的人的参与，更多队伍相继出现并相互竞赛，天津足球渐渐发展成为中国足球的一股重要力量，与港、粤、沪列为四强。 新中国成立后，百业俱兴。与其他事物一样，天津足球运动也开了新生面。1953年，青年选手张俊秀，王宝荣，王金丰被选入国家足球队，成为三位最早的天津籍国脚。1957年，天津青年队在“全国青年足球锦标赛”上夺得了第一个全国足球比赛冠军，为天津的足球发展史揭开了新的一页。 从1957年到1989年间，津门足坛健儿在全国性的比赛中，共获16次冠军，15次亚军。从1958年第一次访苏起，到1989年天津队先后出访16个国家，共比赛103场。 到了1994年，中国足球开始了职业化的脚步。天津队由甲B开始奋争，在当时的教练蔺新江的带领下，成功冲上了甲A。然而，不幸的是，三年后，他们在1997年再次掉入甲B。这给了天津这个传统足球城市一记当头棒喝。 痛定思痛，天津人决定大力改造俱乐部，将原来的三星与万科两队合并，成立泰达俱乐部（天津经济技术开发区的简称）。终于，天津泰达队在1998年以不败的战绩荣膺甲B冠军，重返甲A。 如今，天津足球已经发展成为一支不可小视的力量。在过去的四十年中，天津为中国足球队先后输送了50余名队员，并且，天津还特别以盛产优秀守门员而著称。 2004年8月，天津泰达队新的主场“泰达大球场”竣工。这是一个能容纳三万六千人的世界一流的专业足球场。它能为观众提供绝佳的观赛视角，无论站在球场的哪个角落，整个球场的美景都能尽收眼底。 今年，天津泰达队最终排名中超联赛第六名，与去年的名次相同。尽管在名次上原地踏步，但是他们这个赛季的进步还是比较明显的。如果他们能在对手的禁区前更具攻击性的话，他们一定会在不远的将来取得更好的成绩。
1月21日 精彩绝伦的铅笔画---留住胡同 况晗，来自江西宜丰，89年于南京师范大学毕业后来到北京，对北京胡同产生了特殊的情感。他跑遍了北京的大街小巷，收集了近三千幅的胡同资料。他选用宽线条铅笔特有的笔触来表现历史的遗存，从他笔下的门楼、房舍、街景等日常景物中你会发现平凡生活的诗意、浓得化不开的人情味，还会体会到浓厚的历史文化感。
胡同是北京建筑、环境、人文、文化的鲜明特色，承载着无数人生悲欢故事的四合院就排列在数不清的胡同中。在北京建筑的原生态中，除了紫禁城、天坛等皇家建筑外，就是布满在全城胡同里的灰砖四合院。元代以来，一代代北京人在胡同和四合院里走进走出，形成了独特的四合院生存方式，积淀了深厚的胡同文化。
但一场前所未有的城市建筑现代化运动，使胡同越来越少，逐渐消失在摩天的高楼大厦之中。胡同和四合院一旦拆除，北京古都的生态原形、文化实存、文化证据、历史年轮就不见了。
况晗敏锐地意识到这一点。为了留住北京的胡同，况晗选择了更有历史沧桑感的铅笔画。况晗的铅笔画，画面更强调明暗、层次、笔触排列的秩序感和节奏感，建筑气度大，视觉效果强烈，艺术表现更加主题化、精神化，许多胡同的风貌在况晗的画作中再现昔日的辉煌。从这个意义上讲，他的作品不仅具有艺术欣赏性，更是珍贵的文化遗产。

7月31日 白话箴言 名声清白是有用的——它能让你免受你本来就不该受到的惩罚。
可怜的人必有可恨之处——所谓命运者，多咎由自取。
重要的是过程，是的——没有达到预期目标的人都会这么说。
死亡教会人一切，如同考试之后公布的答案——虽然恍然大悟，但为时已晚。
最重要的倾听技巧是：听别人所没说的...
一条项链，最脆弱的一环决定其强度；一只木桶，最短的一片决定其容量；一个人，素质最差的
一面决定其发展。
人生没有如果——但有许多但是。
当领导有一个好处——你可以决定：是先射箭呢，还是先画圈。
工作是美丽的——因为它可以让你公然离开法定配偶长达八小时。
任何事物都有正反两面——你的上司除外，他在调离之前，只有好的一面。
安全带，安全帽，安全套，现代社会里能给人安全感的，不是人际关系，而是塑胶制品。 |
