We woke up 8am In the morning, after having breakfast we rush for 9am class at Room West 5-4, which we need to walk quite a distance to reach there. Unfortunately, the lesson has been postpone to 1pm in the afternoon. Then we have a walk around the school to the usual shopping mall (Jian Er Mall). We have our lunch (McDonald) in a group of 17.
After that, we walk back to the dormitory and put our groceries, and we go for the IS module 4hrs lesson. Wow, its amazing! I’ve roughly learn through china’s 5000 years history. The Chinese lecturer who named Xiao Ling has taught us about the geography of Hubei. Hubei is named as ‘Hu Bei’ because of it’s located at the North part of Dong Ting Hu. Hubei is 185,900 square kilometers large, and Wuhan its 4 times larger than Singapore.
The population in Hubei is 60.161 million (2006). They have proximately 50nationalities in China, but most of the nationalities are Han, Hui, Mongolian etc. Firstly, we learn few famous ancestors which related to Hubei. “Yandi” who was a famous ancestor in the history 4000 years ago. He is also being called ‘Shengnong’ (God of Farming) because he started cultivate crops (farming) and he establish market for trading. Then, follow by ‘Four Beauties’ who was said that they are the prettiest women in their particular dynasty.
Xi Shi - The first of the four beauties. (Her beauty is said to ‘sink fish’ when she passed by.)
Wang Zhao Jun - Living during the Han Dynasty, she volunteered and sacrificing herself to marry the Xiongnu chief for the peace of the land. (She is said to have a beauty which make the birds falls when she is around.)
Diao Chan - Believed now to simply be a character written in a story called Romance of the Three Kingdoms during the Ming dynasty. She stepped up and used her beauty to become a concubine to Dong Zhuo (a tyrant warlord of Han dynasty) and a wife to his best warrior, Lu Bu. Through manipulating jealousy between the two, she convinces Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo and the warrior is killed for his betrayal. (She can let the moon shy away with her beauty.)
Yang Gui Fei - As wife to the son of the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, she came in contact with Emperor Xuanzong. The Emperor fell in love with Yang but could not technically show affection for his daughter-in-law. So instead, he declared she becomes a nun and through his right as Emperor, he brought her into his court and eventually made her his top concubine. Unfortunately, there was unrest in the country and while the Emperor spent his time thinking about Yang Guifei, his empire was falling apart. Yang was blamed for his downfall and the Emperor's men and advisors demanded she be killed or they would no longer protect him. He gave into the demands and Yang Guifei sacrificed her life so that the Emperor and the empire might continue. (She shame away the flowers with her natural beauty.)
There are a lot more, like Mulan, Dong yong & seventh fairy maiden, Double seventh festival etc. Then, Mrs Xiao Ling show us some place of interest like Han Kou, its famous for nice food and its heaven for shopping.
After lesson, we take a taxi to the nearest town for dinner. It only take us about 20 minutes to reach there, there are a lot of nice foods and places for fun. We pay for a card and start to choose what to try. We take Tang Bao (Bao with soup), Re Gan Mian (hot dry noodle), Steam Egg, Tou Si( keow teow), Zha Jiang Mian…
After dinner we went arcade which is located at the top level of the shopping mall. We enjoy like little kids, because it’s cheap and we try to play as much as we can. We win few hundred tickets and we get to change an adorable pencil for Jin Quan’s early birthday present. 1hour later, we gather and go back to the dormitory. Outside of the dorm we have a photo taking session. All of us crowd in front of the school and have a group photo with all the local students and thanks them to bring us out. Then we say Good nite, and get back to rest!
