The Fully Automated Da-Ba In The Making

This is the greatest Dam in the world.

The Automated Dam would be the No 1 in the world.

But thinking of the event that Da Ba is done by act of god, all of US in West Coast of America, both North & South, Need not to say about the cities in Shanghai & Zhejiang Area would be under the water.

Few hundreds millions of people & beings would be re-union with the gods or Lords or return to Heavens & Hells.

As Lao Zi said:

The Most Peaceful & Harmony thing is Water.

Water Can afloat a boat,

& Water can capsize the boat!!

Another provert said:

One can move the mountain,

However,

Don't ever plays with Water

This is the No 1 busies airport in the world.

This airport is explanding every day ...

They are going to have 1-2millions visitors per day. in facr they are already serving 1millions people a day.

Beijing is a great city, with the economy is taking off, this airport is ever expanding.

Looking at the atmosphere & those pollutants in the air these are un-healthy for people to live.

The hours before I took the shot, there was raining. otherwise, we would never be able to see this beautiful scene.

Dreammy & foggy & misty!!

Today is the day of Rememberance about one life!!

This image is in rememberance of My Late Mom's.

As the Buddha said:

Birth is Suffering;

From The Day of Birth;

All Live's Are A Day Towards Death!!

The Merrits of The Mother's is The Greatest, As she have to conceive the baby for 10months before one birth.

After which she have to nurture the baby to teen ..young...adult... then she depart!!

YunXiao is the 1st big township at the mainland side.

I am not awared that my grand uncle have passed away!!, He is one of the landlord of YunXiao.

His youngest son is about 2.5 years my senior. Jia Fa was raise by my grandma during his childhood. He was ex -Tank & Armour Unit Commander.

Later, I met him in Shengzhen on this trip. That is the 1st time we meet each other!!

This is the scene which my dad's describe to me about his childhood view on the Gate to his Home Town, DongLin Town in DongShan Island.

He traveled by Sedan Chair carried by 8 porters'. His dad's my grandpa's traveled by horse & sedan chair as well.

I am told that my late grandpa's have 2 guns with him. He have the tradional Qin Dynasty Officers' head dress(it does symbolized the various status of the position in their imperial court status from the color & design), the Western Military commander hat & the CowBoy hat!!

My dad's hardly see him return home to sleep; when he is back from his trans-continental business trip.

N.B.

I can recalled that; My late grandpa wear the Brown color CowBoy hat during my childhood. At noon time when he took a nap at his fishing pond's bamboo hut; He would cover my face using his Cowboy hat!!

12th hours before he died in 1961, he told me that:

"Son, I cannot make it to become a Global Business Tycoon.

I cannot make it to America!!

Although I have travel to central europe & Middle East...

I did not make it to America!!

According to my god-brother the ShaoLin abbot, you are going to succeed in the Western World!!

You are going to make it!!

Only You!! My Son."

I just wonder why he said my son?? I am his grandson!!

It is 1st time I see people dying in my young life, more so he is my grandpa!! So I asked him why he say that, he said he resign to his Karma & his fate based on his year, day & time of birth.

They have check yours' & that is what I said to you.

He said he is a self make man, he loose the wealth then he make it back , & it is even greater heights each time. These have had happened 3 times in his life!!

Grandpa is well verse with Feng-Shui, Astrology (both for Marinetimes & Fortune Reading), poem, arts, herbs & medicines, Kung Fu, .....etc.

Oh yes, he enjoy gourmet food too. His famous desert is Tappiocal Glue with sugar after meals!! Which I don't like it.

After a few drinks, he like to compose his own poems & writes caligraphy!!

So in his last word, he said:
Yes, A person cannot be resign to his/her fate, until he/ she last day in this world!!

He have over 11 children & 30 over grandsons' & grand daughters' and another 50 odds adopted children!!

I was only about 6th years old, but he said these to me.

I was worrying that I might get the T.B. & die later, if I getting too close to him.

As T.B. is the deadly disease of that era!!

Night Scene Before Entering Da Ba

This shot was taken on board of the cruise ship with out tripod, it is light shower & warm at 85degree that night.

This scene let's me recall about the saying , before Hong Kong return to China & what I saw in the 80's & 90's about China major cities.

That is all mono tone at night. Just like these.

There were comedians acting on TV then that when Hong Kong return to China, the whole colorful city would become the same.

Actually, that is proved wrong, today, Hong Kong is still very colorful at night. Then when you step onto Shengzhen, you found that you may be in the replica of Hong Kong.

Now when you travel in Shanghai or Beijing , Guan Zhou at night, you see the colorful neon & LED lights everywhere.

I recalled my statement to the Iron man of Asia in 1962 that Chinese Language would become the most important business language in the world in 30 years time, & Shanghai would again become the No 1 city in the world.

During those day there is no freedom of speech. No freedom of writing, No freedom of expression, etc. all medias are controlled by the Supreme Power man.

As a kid expressing opinion in public, especially to the Power man of Asia in person, it is really take every politicians & officials by surprise. I can be landed in life time imprisonment, if he thinks that I am against him.

It is fortunate that he did not think otherwise then.

Now looking back. I am still right!!

Anyway, enjoy this photo.

The Greatness of Mountains

This is the 3rd & 4th Ku Niang Shan in Sichuan. About 22K feet elevation I took this shot. That night I fall ill due to the highland syndrome!!

As you can see from here. How great is the mountain compare with the home at the lower left of the picture.

I am told that the snow cap used to cover the mountains throughout the years.

But not anymore!!

Therefore; can you see how alarmming is the global warming & the Green House effect!!

It is no longer the issue of who emitting the pollutants in the air. As I mentioned, we dwell on one earth, the pollutions emitted take a days to travel to & from with natural earth revolution daily!!

This is Not In Russia!!

This is in HailaEr, the border town of Inner Mongolia & Russia & Mongolia.

Good Morning ChongQing

This is the early morning shot near Chongqing, I love the effect which looks like the Chinese traditional painting.

See the Fengshui, mists, fog , mountains....

You can imaging why the imperial courts officials like to retire to these area then.

But not anymore, the pollutions issues is killing the people & the environment.

Coal fire plant & the mecury would cause more health problems for the people in these area too......

N.B.

This is taken on the moving cruise ship.
