My Business Experience

I’m a engineer not a business man, so I don’t have much experience on that area. However, in my very young age, I have some biz experience make me proud of myself.

When I was in primary school, I lived with my grand parents. My family is very poor, I have no pocket money and that made me so inferior. But I am clever boy, ain’t I? :-)

I had some manga books, and there’s manga fashion in my school. Actually almost most Chinese kids in the fever of manga at that time. Chinese opening up policy let many new stuff into the country, manga is one of them. I catch the fever and rent my books to my classmates for small amount money.

At first everything is OK, my clients spread from my class to whole grade quickly. They rent my books not only for the manga, actually someone have no interest with them. The biggest reason they rent my book is I gave they unique  experience, enjoying the service provided by other kids.

My business bigger and bigger, and shit happened. Teacher got known my stuff, and they had no idea with that. Not long ago in this country, an innocent person could be sentenced by selling stuff. Now a kid dared rent manga books to his classmates.  I became the black sheep in teachers’ eyes and they forbidden me to continue in school.

After book renting business I also start another one similar to lotto, and also ruined by teachers. From the failures I found that in a immature market you surely get many chances but the venture is also very high, and the venture from authority is fatal.

I Am Still Alive

It’s long time since last post. As a working slave in China, cross the GFW and write a post in English is not easy. I spent all my time on work, my company ask us should have at least 25 hours overtime for free every month. So I am not surprise for the fast growth of China, with tramping people’s dignity and robing their property no country can not get that.

Enough for complaint, it can’t solve anything. I know I am not that  genius like Shelton, all I should do is working harder and harder, not for the company and the government just for myself and my family.

Recently a short film video is on fire in Chinese Internet world, Old Boy by Chopstick Brothers, I really moved by it. It took me back the old time, not very good but I still appreciate it.

You can watch the video below.

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010.

Today is the last day of 2009 in China, this year is important to K.G.B., that’s because we found this website in this year. I am glad made two right decision, which are choose a foreign host and writing blog in English. They protect us from the personal sites slaughter of Chinese government. We are lucky.

Happy New Year!

Back to Chengdu

I have finished my first businese trip in Xi’an, which be famous as the capital of  Tang Dynasty in Chinese history.

I have to say the ancient wall is so great. That’s my first time to see the complete ancient city wall in real life, I even forgot shooting a picture for my exciting. However, I am not quite like the Xi’an city. Maybe the dry climate make me feel bad and the less development is not my dreamed type of city. I know many foreigners prefer Xi’an than Chengdu because they are bored of modern city. And for me, I would make the opposite choice, because I’am the slave of modern society,lol.

The meaning of life

What is the meaning of life?  For merchants mean profit, for poor mean food and shelter, for Chinese goverment means control. Douglas Adams told us the answer is 42, though nobody really believe that.

This is the same question I asked myself when I look up to the starry sky. The universe is huge and I feel I am so small. At that moment, I thought I knew something. Exploring the big world is my task in my life.

I live in China, many people in my country forget how to enjoy the life. They are always working hard for physically comfortable and seldom for spiritual joy. I don’t want be one of them, so I make this website to remind myself. Writing can record my life and the journey of my pursuit of knowledge.

We are Chinese, the reason we use English to write blog is that we want open our minds to another world, which is differ from we live in.
