This gene is a member of the ankyrin-repeat family and is induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The C-terminal portion of the encoded product which contains the ankyrin repeats, shares high sequence similarity with the I kappa B family of proteins. The latter are known to play a role in inflammatory responses to LPS by their interaction with NF-B proteins through ankyrin-repeat domains. Studies in mouse indicate that this gene product is one of the nuclear I kappa B proteins and an activator of IL-6 production. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. References 1. ^ Eto A, Muta T, Yamazaki S, Takeshige K (Feb 2003).

加拿大卡尔加里大学教授Margo Husby-Scheelar，因感染H1N1流感病毒于星期三去世，其子称愿将母亲的不幸公之于世，以期不再有更多的人遭受类似的损失。请看CBC详细报道。 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2013/02/17/calgary-h1n1-death-warning.html Calgary professor's H1N1 death prompts warning from family A Calgary family is warning people to take the flu seriously after their mother died this week from H1N1 flu virus. Margo Husby-Scheelar was a popular professor in the University of Calgary’s department of communication and culture. The 64-year-old was sick for a week before she was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with H1N1. After spending nearly a month in intensive care, she died on Wednesday, said her son Greg Scheelar. Scheelar said he wants to share her story to make sure no one else suffers a similar loss. "She didn't do something and it cost her. So having other people learning from the mistake that she made would be totally in character for her," Scheelar said. Alberta Health Services officials said they cannot comment on Husby-Scheelar’s death, but confirmed they are seeing three strains of the flu this year, including H1N1. H1N1 is the same strain of flu that caused a pandemic in 2009. “And since that time this particular H1N1 strain has now become one of our seasonal influenza strains we expect to see every year,” said Dr. Judy MacDonald, the province’s medical officer of health for the Calgary zone. “And there’s still cases of it and sometimes it can be very serious. But it’s not like it was when it first arrived.” Since the flu season began at the end of August there have been 260 lab-confirmed cases of the flu in Calgary, including 15 people with H1N1, officials said. AHS recommends all Albertans older than six months get a yearly flu shot. "It's not too late if you haven't had your influenza vaccine. It is still available at our public health clinics and some physicians and pharmacies," MacDonald said. Greg Scheelar said his mother was just as great a mom as she was a teacher. "A lot of her personality as a mom carried into what she did as an instructor. And I think vice-versa as well,” he said.
导读： 看，他们把他当人看。 看，他们把他当狗看。 他们把他当人看，他们是谁，他是谁？ 他们把他当狗看，他们是谁，他是谁？ http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/11/22/weekly-address-wishing-american-people-happy-thanksgiving On behalf代表 of the Obama family家庭 – Michelle, Malia, Sasha and Bo – I want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. For us, like so many of you, this is a day full of family and friends; food （有没有FOODBALL)and football. It’s a day to fight the overwhelming urge to take a nap – at least until after dinner. But most of all, it’s a time to give thanks for each other（应该感谢谁？上帝，还是同类）, and for the incredible bounty we enjoy. That’s especially important this year. As a nation, we’ve just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our democracy. But it also required us to make choices – and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties us together; on what candidate候选人 we support instead of what country we belong to.（美国也有党国问题） Thanksgiving is a chance to put it all in perspective – to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, Americans first and foremost. Today we give thanks for blessings that are all too rare in this world. The ability to spend time with the ones we love; to say what we want; to worship as we please; to know that there are brave men and women defending our freedom around the globe; and to look our children in the eye and tell them that, here in America, no dream is too big if they’re willing to work for it. We’re also grateful that this country has always been home to Americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportunities to give back. Americans who believe we have a responsibility to look out for those less fortunate – to pull each other up and move forward together. Right now, as we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the northeast who don’t have that luxury. Many of them have lost everything to Hurricane Sandy – homes, possessions, even loved ones. And it will be a long time before life goes back to normal. But in the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope. Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen FEMA personnel, National Guard and first responders working around the clock in hard-hit communities. We’ve seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute supplies. Families offering up extra bedrooms. The fire department advertising free hot showers. Buses full of volunteers coming from hundreds of miles away. Neighbors sharing whatever they have – food, water, electricity – and saying again and again how lucky they are to have a roof over their heads. It would have been easy for these folks人民to do nothing – to worry about themselves and leave the rest to someone else. But that’s not who we are. That’s not what we do. As Americans, we are a bold, generous, big-hearted people. When our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves卷起袖子 and get to work – not for the recognition or the reward名和利, but because it’s the right thing to do. Because there but for the grace of God go I良心. And because here in America, we rise or fall荣辱与共 together, as one nation and one people. That’s something to be grateful for – today and every day. So to all the Americans doing your part to make our world a better place – it is my privilege荣幸 to serve担任 as your President. To all our servicemembers – it is my honor to be your Commander in Chief. And from our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_(dog ) Bo Official White House portrait of the First Dog Other appellation(s) First Dog Charlie (by previous owner) Species Canis lupus familiaris Breed Portuguese Water Dog Sex Male Born Amigo's New Hope ( 2008-10-09 ) October 9, 2008 (age4) Nation from United States Knownfor Pet of the First Family of the United States Training Dawn Sylvia ( Hume, Virginia ) Can sit, present paw/shake, lie down, roll over, get off, wait Predecessor Barney Bush Owner Obama family Parents Dam : Penny (Amigo's Phor What Its Worth) ( Boyd, Texas ) Sire : Watson (Valkyrie's Dr. Watson Is Here) ( Ambridge, Pennsylvania ) Breeder: Julie Parker Appearance tuxedo/black and white Named after Obama girls ' cousins' pet cat and also Bo Diddley Bo (born October 9, 2008) is the pet dog of the Obama family, the First Family of the United States . Bo is a neutered male Portuguese Water Dog . President Barack Obama and his family were given the dog as a gift after months of speculation about the breed and identity of their future pet. The final choice was made in part because Malia Obama 's allergies dictated a need for a hypoallergenic breed. The White House has referred to him as the " First Dog ", a term occasionally used during recent U.S. administrations. Contents 1 Breed background 2 Breeding and original owners 3 Media attention as Obamas select the First Dog 4 Biographical details 5 Disputed rescue heritage 6 Reactions by and in the media 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Breed background Main article: Portuguese Water Dog The Portuguese Water Dog is a fairly rare breed; only 48 Portuguese Water Dogs were entered for Britain's Crufts competition in 2009 and the author of The New Complete Portuguese Water Dog, Kitty Braund, believes there are about 50,000 in North America. Due to its fleecy coat, the Portuguese Water Dog is considered a hypoallergenic dog breed . Breeding and original owners The Obamas with Bo Bred by Julie Parker of Erie County, Pennsylvania , Bo is the son of "Watson" (CH Valkyrie Dr. Watson is Here, Born 22.April.2002, AKC WS00562102) of the Rader family in the Pittsburgh suburb of Ambridge, Pennsylvania and of Penny who belongs to Art and Martha Stern of Boyd, Texas . One of Bo's nine litter mates is Senator Ted Kennedy 's Portie named Cappy (Amigo's Captain Courageous); the litter was named "Hope and Change" in honor of Obama's victory . Bo was purchased by a person unknown to the public, but eventually the new owner returned him to the Stern family; when buying the dog, the original purchaser had signed a contract requiring him to return the dog to the breeder if things did not work out. Bo was enrolled on January 5, 2009, with Kennedy's obedience trainer Dawn Sylvia-Stasiewicz , in Hume, Virginia . Bo has a brother named Rico, that is owned by a couple in Houston, Texas. Media attention as Obamas select the First Dog At his first press conference as President-elect , Obama was questioned by reporters as to which breed the family was looking to acquire; he replied, "Our preference would be to get a shelter dog, but, obviously, a lot of shelter dogs are mutts ." He also noted "Malia is allergic, so it has to be hypoallergenic. There are a number of breeds that are hypoallergenic." George Stephanopolous asked Obama on television in early January what kind of dog they would get, and when, saying that he was passing on a question from Obama's daughters who were sitting in the control room. Obama said, "They seem to have narrowed it down to a labradoodle or a Portuguese water hound ... medium-sized dog, and so, we're now going to start looking at shelters to see when one of those dogs might come up." Much was made by the public and press about the family's search for a dog. On April 12, 2009, it was announced that the Obamas would soon accept a six-month-old Portuguese Water Dog puppy as a gift from Senator Kennedy. The dog was reported to have visited the family some weeks earlier in a secret meeting to gauge compatibility and purportedly referred to by staffers as "The Meeting". However, the gift was not accepted until the dog officially arrived and moved in at the White House on Tuesday, April 14, 2009; Immediately after he arrived, the family staged a photo op with Bo on the property's South Lawn . At the conference, Obama was asked if he would allow Bo inside the Oval Office , to which he responded: "of course." He also gave a nod to President Harry Truman 's quote, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." The White House website was later updated to include official pictures and biographical details of Bo. Biographical details Bo wearing a lei upon his White House arrival Listed by the name "Amigo's New Hope" with American Kennel Club 's breed registry and given the name "Charlie" by his original owners, the puppy received his current name from President Obama's two daughters, Malia and Sasha , in part after their cousins' cat and Michelle Obama 's father 's nickname Diddley; the dog is a namesake of deceased singer Bo Diddley . In June 2009, the White House released a baseball card for Bo with his new official portrait on one side and tongue-in-cheek statistics on the other; information included the facts that Bo's favorite food is tomatoes and that he does not yet know how to swim. The card is available by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the White House. According to financial disclosure forms released by President Obama in 2010, Bo has a value of $1,600. In December 2010, Bo was permitted to accompany the Obama family to the guest house Plantation Estate in Hawaii. Hawaii, which is rabies-free, has strict quarantine rules of up to 120 days for dogs from outside the state. However, in accordance with rules modified in 2003, dogs are permitted if they have had two rabies shots (including one in the previous 90 days), pass a rabies blood test, and have a microchip implant . Disputed rescue heritage The Obamas walking with Bo The Obama family originally seemed to emphasize their desire for an adopted shelter dog, but made no firm commitments. In the summer of 2008, Best Friends Animal Society , an animal welfare organization, gathered 50,000 signatures on a petition asking the family to adopt a shelter animal. As Bo is a gift from the Kennedy family, he is not a shelter dog. Some dog experts, such as Cesar Millan , state that Bo could be considered part of a larger group known as rescue dogs, as he was unsuccessful in his first home, when plans for him to provide companionship to an older female dog went awry because he irritated the dog through attempts to suckle . The Obamas have pledged to donate to the District of Columbia Humane Society to show their support for shelter dogs. Some criticism has arisen from animal welfare supporters because Bo was not adopted from a shelter. The Humane Society of the United States released a statement on their website thanking the Obamas "for taking in a second-chance dog," but also encouraged the public to avoid going through breeders. Reactions by and in the media Bo and President Obama running through the east wing of the White House The Washington Post ’s Manuel Roig-Franzia, granted exclusive initial access to Bo for the print media, described the puppy: "Bo's a handsome little guy. Well suited for formal occasions at the White House, he's got tuxedo-black fur, with a white chest, white paws and a rakish white goatee." People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) described the family's choice to accept the gift of a puppy from a family friend as "disquieting" and publicly urged the President to have Bo neutered, though the dog had been neutered before the Obamas received him. Bo in March 2010 In anticipation of increased interest in the breed , the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America issued a statement requesting that members of the public considering obtaining the dogs "ensure that this breed fits their lifestyle," advising that Porties' needs preclude their being left alone for long periods or boarded in kennels . Immediately upon Bo joining the First Family, four children's books and a plush toy depicting him were slated for publication or manufacture. On July 17, 2009, the author Ben Greenman , writing in The New York Times as Bo, reflected on his first hundred days in office. In the final episode of the History Channel 's Life After People , aired March 16, 2010, the producers imagined what life would be like for Bo after the disappearance of humanity. This showed that he would leave the White House, and live off seafood from the Chesapeake Bay. Bo was also shown on Dogs 101 . Bo has appeared in the comic book Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers and on the TV show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon . See also United States presidential pets References ^ a b Dave, By (2009-04-20).

Roosevelt was running for his fourth term when rumors surfaced that his Scottish Terrier , Fala , had accidentally been left behind when visiting the Aleutian Islands . After allegedly sending back ships to rescue his dog, Roosevelt was ridiculed and accused of spending thousands of taxpayers’ dollars to retrieve his dog. At a speech following this Roosevelt said, "you can criticize me, my wife and my family, but you can't criticize my little dog. He's Scotch and all these allegations about spending all this money have just made his little soul furious." What was later called the ‘ Fala Speech ’ reportedly turned the election around for Roosevelt.

Here enclosed an article dealing with the language family tree. The title is "The Indo-European Language Family Tree", and it comes from the following website: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/language.html The Indo-European Language Family Tree By Jack Lynch , Rutgers — Newark The chart below shows the relations among some of the languages in the Indo-European family. Though you wouldn't think to look at the tangle of lines and arrows, the chart is very much simplified: many languages and even whole language families are left out. Use it, therefore, with caution. The coverage is most thorough, but still far from complete, in the Germanic branch, which includes English. The dotted line from French to Middle English suggests not direct descent, but the influx of French vocabulary in the centuries after the Norman Invasion. Some caveats. In the interest of making this readable, I've left out dozens of languages. I've even omitted the entire Anatolian, Albanian, and Tocharian families; I've included no languages from the Baltic branch or the Continental Celtic branch; I've grossly oversimplified the Indo-Iranian family; and so on. The historical phases of some languages — Old Swedish, Middle Swedish, Modern Swedish; Vedic Sanskrit, Middle Indic — have been left out. I've made no attempt to distinguish living languages from dead ones. I'm not trying to make the definitive statement of the relationships among all the Indo-European languages, only to give my students some idea of the origins of the English language, and its relations to other familiar languages — along with a few less familiar ones. here enclosed the pdf version of the chart. language.pdf PS.

or a homemaker, be it the wife or husband. I still remember what my grandma said when I was little. She said housekeeping kept her busy all day long. I knew what she was talking about: maki ng three meals each day for 3-4 people, doing washing, keeping the apartment clean, and getting us freshly-made snacks every day at 3 pm. She meant the whole world to us, my brother and me, and she was a great person . However, I didn't know what she meant until recently when I spent two weeks cleaning u p my two-bedroom apartment for some visitors (and hardly cooked). So, my question is whether or not both parents should work, with out the help of a housekeeper . I am sure most of you, the Bl ogg ers at SciNet, don't have th e luxury of having a paid housekeeper .

Tyagi; Jitendra P. Khurana Functional Integrative Genomics , 2006, 6 ( 1 ) : 36-46 DOI: 10.1007/s10142-005-0142-5 Auxin regulates plant growth and development by altering the expression of diverse genes. Among these, the genes of Aux / IAA , SAUR , and GH3 classes have been extensively studied in dicots, but little information is available on monocots. We have identified 12 members of GH3 gene family in rice using sequences of full-length cDNA clones available from KOME and analysis of the whole genome sequence of rice. The genomic organization as well as chromosomal location of all the OsGH3 genes is reported. The rice GH3 proteins can be classified in two groups (groups I and II) on the basis of their phylogenetic relationship with Arabidopsis GH3 proteins. Based upon the sequences available in the database, not a single group III GH3 protein could be identified in rice. An extensive survey of EST sequences of other monocots led to the conclusion that although GH3 gene family is highly conserved in both dicots and monocots but the group III is conspicuous by its absence in monocots. The in silico analysis has been complemented with experimental data to quantify transcript levels of all GH3 gene family members. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction, the organ-specific expression of individual OsGH3 genes in light- and dark-grown seedlings/plants has been examined. The transcript abundance of nearly all OsGH3 genes is enhanced on auxin treatment, with the effect more pronounced on OsGH3-1 , -2 , and -4 . The functional validation of these genes in transgenics or analysis of gene-specific insertional mutants will help in elucidating their precise role in auxin signal transduction. 水稻中生长素响应 GH3 基因家族 生长素通过改变多种基因的表达参与调控植物的生长发育。在这些基因中，Aux/IAA、SAUR和GH3类基因在双子叶植物中被广泛研究，但是单子叶中可以获得的这些基因的信息还很有限。通过分析KOME数据库中的全长cDNA和水稻全基因组序列，作者从水稻中鉴定到GH3基因家族的12个成员。本研究报道了这些 OsGH3 基因在基因组上的组织结构和染色体位置。根据与拟南芥GH3蛋白系统发生的关系，水稻GH3蛋白可以分为两组（I组和II组）。根据数据库中获得的序列，水稻中没有个属于III组的GH3蛋白。对其他单子叶植物EST序列的深入分析，发现双子叶和单子叶植物GH3基因家族是高度保守的，但是III组基因在单子叶植物中显著缺失。作者对所有鉴定到的GH3基因家族成员的转录水平进行了分析。通过real-time PCR对光下和暗中生长的水稻幼苗/植株 OsGH3 基因的器官特异性表达进行了检测。生长素处理能够使几乎所有 OsGH3 的表达丰度提高，其中以 OsGH3-1, -2 和 -4 的增加最为显著。对这些基因的功能验证或对基因特异的插入突变体进行分析，将有助于阐明这些基因在生长素信号传导中的作用。 ► 本文研究的功能基因 ◄ 吲哚乙酸氨基化合成酶基因 OsGH3.8; OsGH3-8; OsMGH3 茉莉酯-L-异亮氨酸合酶 OsJar1; OsGH3.5; OsGH3-5 吲哚乙酸氨基化合成酶基因 OsGH3.13; TLD1 吲哚乙酸氨基化合成酶基因 OsGH3.1; OsGH3-1 茉莉脂-L-异亮氨酸合酶 OsJAR2; OsGH3.3; OsGH3-3 吲哚乙酸氨基化合成酶基因 OsGH3-2 GH3基因 OsGH3-4 GH3基因 OsGH3-6 GH3基因 OsGH3-7 GH3基因 OsGH3-9 GH3基因 OsGH3-10 GH3基因 OsGH3-11 GH3基因 OsGH3-12

One of the most important forms of histone modification is methylation on lysine residues of the tails, carried out by members of the SET protein family, which are widespread in eukaryotes. • We analyzed molecular evolution by comparative genomics and phylogenetics of the SET genes from plant and animal genomes, grouping SET genes into several subfamilies and uncovering numerous gene duplications, particularly in the Suv, Ash, Trx and E(z) subfamilies. • Domain organizations differ between different subfamilies and between plant and animal SET proteins in some subfamilies, and support the grouping of SET genes into seven main subfamilies, suggesting that SET proteins have acquired distinctive regulatory interactions during evolution. We detected evidence for independent evolution of domain organization in different lineages, including recruitment of new domains following some duplications. • More recent duplications in both vertebrates and land plants are probably the result of whole-genome or segmental duplications. The evolution of the SET gene family shows that gene duplications caused by segmental duplications and other mechanisms have probably contributed to the complexity of epigenetic regulation, providing insights into the evolution of the regulation of chromatin structure.

Patriotism presupposes loyalty and trust - the bricks and mortar of all lasting human relations. Are Hong Kong people patriotic? The answer is an emphatic "no". Generally, Hong Kong Chinese have no idea of their national identity and heritage, and are loath to identify with their brethren on the mainland. They would rather identify themselves with Taiwanese Chinese, Singaporean Chinese, Australian Chinese and American Chinese. They think they are superior. The mindset that fosters this superiority complex is no mystery; Hong Kong people worship money, power and celebrity. Hong Kong creates no true wealth. It indulges in the culture of money making money. Back in the 1980s, Hong Kong wages rocketed and production moved across the border. Hong Kong has since been reduced to a service-based economy. Its limited terrain has become its new wealth generator. Today, over 70 per cent of Hong Kong's market capitalisation comes from property and related activities; Hong Kong is one of the most expensive places to live in the world today. This social polarisation has moved the city dangerously close to the red-light signal on the United Nations index measuring social upheaval in the wake of income disparity. The central government must have confidence that the chief executive can keep things under control in Hong Kong. Normally, the interest of the overwhelming majority of 1.3billion Chinese should have priority but, in the case of Hong Kong, the reverse is true. Beijing has given Hong Kong people carte blanche to run their own affairs. Hong Kong pays no taxes to the central government, which also picks up the bill for the People's Liberation Army, which ensures the special administrative region's security. Hong Kong's level of taxation is very low compared with other similar economies. Yet, mainland China's "tax pain" ranked second in the world in 2009, according to Forbes. Vice-Premier Li Keqiang , during his recent visit, said Beijing had picked Hong Kong to be China's future centre for overseas renminbi trading. Hong Kong last year ranked third in the world as a recipient of foreign direct investment, according to a UN report, a mesmerising performance considering the SAR's size. All these good things have happened to Hong Kong and its people because of one reason - their country, China. Hong Kong should ask itself this: "My country has done so much for me, what have I done for it in return?" It's time for the people of Hong Kong to ask themselves whether they have lived up to the expectations of the central government. The way things stand, they have let Beijing down badly. Hongkongers have behaved like spoiled brats cosseted with gifts, perquisites and privileges. Instead of showing their gratitude and appreciation, they have turned on their own country. Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was right to condemn the recent acts of hooliganism under the guise of free speech and assembly in the Legislative Council. Hong Kong today seems to be used to lawlessness and anarchy. The law must be upheld and the authorities must not go soft on people who take the law into their own hands. The open defiance of the "Gang of Four" - Anson Chan Fang On-san, Martin Lee Chu-ming, Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kiun - and the Civic Party, headed by Audrey Eu Yuet-mee, only points to the urgency for the government and Legco to push through Article 23, under which many of their acts would be considered as endangering state security, that is, sedition. People must be made to understand they are Chinese citizens and subject to Chinese laws and sanctions. Western precepts of democracy and human rights cannot be applied directly to a country the size of China, which for centuries has evolved around Confucian ethics. In the selection of national development models and priorities, China has always maintained an aloofness from the West. Equanimity and self-reliance have been its hallmark. In money management, the central bank has favoured a conservative and cautious policy. This has enabled China to stay clear of the economic meltdown. The recent downgrading of the ratings of the US and some euro zone nations shattered the myth that the US Federal Reserve and Wall Street knew better when it came to how to manage money. The world, and Europe in particular at present, is looking to China for help. As part of a family with a patriotic background, listed as descendents of revolutionary martyrs, I sincerely hope the people of Hong Kong will take to heart the overall interest of their country and people, and ponder Hong Kong's own future.

First, a brief introduction of my background is in order. I was born in Hong Kong of a family with a proud tradition of patriotism. My Grandfather, General Fang Zhenwu was once the Commander-in-chief of the North-East Coalition Forces Against the Japanese, his vice-Commander was General Ji Hongchang, also known as a great patriot. The two men openly opposed Jiang Jieshi’’s non-resistance policy thus making themselves his arch enemies. Both paid the ultimate price, their lives in the service of their country and people. My Grandfather, like General Ji, commanded great esteem amongst the Chinese Communist Party, especially the older generation of battle-hardened communists who survived the Long March. We are listed as decendents of revolutionary martyrs. My Mother, Dr Fang Zhaolin, was a Chinese Grand Master artist and calligraphist and founder of the post-modernist Fang Zhaolin School. She was a graduate of Hong Kong University in the 50s when she set a record by getting her BA degree in Chinese history in just under two years. Later she went to Oxford University to study the Songs of Chu. There she made the acquaintance of high-minded scholars like Dr Joseph Needem, Sinologist and later Dean of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and his wife, the celebrated Biochemist, Lu Guizhen, Dr David Hox, an authority on the immortal Chinese classic Dream of the Red Chamber, Dr Qian Zhongshu, scholar and writer, and later Dr Han Suying. They formed a life-long friendship and shared a common understanding of Chinese history and China’’s ancient culture and a deep respect for the creativity and self-reliant spirit of the Chinese people. Back in the 60s long before it became fashionable to travel to China, my Mother was making regular visits to the Mainland where she held exhibitions and exchanges with Mainland artists. She also saw the poverty, hardship and privations during the difficult years. My Mother used to say to us "The lot of the Chinese people for the past 100 years had been one of tears and sorrow, you don’’t know what it is like to be a Chinese until you have tasted their sufferings!" My Uncle Professor Harry S.Y. Fang needs no introduction to Hong Kong. His name was a household word in Hong Kong in the 80s. He was the former United Nation appointed President of Rehabilitation International. His pioneering efforts in the cause of the physically handicapped around the world is on record. Little known however is the fact that sometime in the 80’’s, he made an irrevocable decision to switch alliagence to his own country and people. Long before China became the economic juggernaut it is today, he became the first Orthopaedic Specialist to propose to the Chinese leadership, at a time when China was still very poor and its limited resources stretched thin over a burgeoning population of over one billion, that the rehabilitation of the physically handicapped, a left-out and all but forgotten minority of the population, is a cause worth striving for in the long-run, and they believed him and China Disabled Person’s Federation was established. Today my uncle is honoured in China as the founding father of China rehab in memory of the everlasting contribution he made to his country and people. I made a detailed introduction of my family’s patriotic background in order to lend credence to the theme under discussion – “Patriotism should be the number one criterion in the selection of the next Chief Executive of Hong Kong”. Patriotism presupposes loyalty and loyalty trust -- the bricks and mortar of all lasting human relations. Are Hong Kong people patriotic? The answer is an emphatic ‘No’. Generally Hong Kong Chinese have no idea of their national identity and heritage and loath to identify themselves with their brethrens on the Mainland. They would rather identify themselves with the Taiwanese Chinese, Singaporean Chinese, Australian Chinese and American Chinese. They think they are superior. The mindset that foster this superiority complex is no mystery because Hong Kong people worship money, power and celebrity. Hong Kong creates no true wealth. It indulges in the culture of money making money. Back in the 80s, Hong Kong wages sky-rocketed and production moved inland. Hong Kong has since been reduced to a service-based economy. Its limited terrain became its new wealth generator. Today over 70% of Hong Kong’s market capitalisation comes from real-estate and related activities. The near frenzied speculation of land and real estate has made Hong Kong the most expensive place to live in the world today. This social polarisation has moved Hong Kong dangerously close to the red light signal on the United Nation’s index measuring social upheaval in the wake of income disparity. The Chief Executive must have the confidence of the Central Government that he can keep things under control in Hong Kong. Normally, the interest of the overwhelming majority of 1.3b Chinese should have absolutely priority, but in the case of Hong Kong the reverse is true. The Central Government has designated Hong Kong a SEZ and given Hong Kong people a carte blanche to run their own affairs. Hong Kong pays no taxes to the Central Government who also picks up the bill for the People’s Liberation Army which defends Hong Kong’s security. Hong Kong’s level of taxation is very low compare to other areas in the world of equal level of development. However, Mainland Chinese “Tax Pain” ranks second in the world last year according to Fortunes Index for 2010. Hong Kong and Macau citizens have been issued Special Passes which enable them to go in and out of China without restrictions and to stay for as long as they want. Their Mainland compatriots must be green with envy because they not only have to get visas for Hong Kong and Macau but have to wait in long queues for hours at the checkpoint. Vice Premier Li Keqiang on his recent visit brought the good news that Beijing has picked Hong Kong to be China’s future centre for overseas RMB trading. Hong Kong will be China’s future Zurich and Geneva, both unique financial centres of the world. According to the United Nations report, Hong Kong last year ranked third in the world as recipient of FDI(Foreign Direct Investment), a mesmerizing performance considering the size of Hong Kong. All these good things have happened to Hong Kong and its people because of one reason -- China. Hong Kong should ask itself this question, “My country has done so much for me, what have I done for her in return?” It’s time that the people of Hong Kong take to introspection and ask themselves have they lived up to the expectation of the Central Government? The way things stand they have let the Central Government down badly! Hong Kong people have behaved like spoiled brats cosseted with gifts, perquisites and privileges. Instead of showing their gratitude and appreciation they have turned on their own country. They have gone to the other extreme! Take the mud-raking tabloid Zheng Ming( 争鸣 ) the self-styled people’s voice which vilify and attack Chinese leadership by names, and forms a united front with the flamboyant Leung Kwok hung （梁 国雄） , the highly paid Legislation Council Member who crashed peaceful rally and disrupted official meetings of the Legislation Council. Donald Tsang, the Chief Executive was right in condemning his acts of hooliganism under the guise of free speech and assembly. It must be remembered that for millennium, the Emperor, the Son of Heaven, ruled from the capital and all bowed to his benevolence and absolute authority. Sedition or any pejorative mention of his name could bring public decapitation of three generations of the offender, and they would not be a whisper of dissent across the land! These days are gone forever, but this does not mean Hong Kong should go to the other extreme. Hong Kong today seems to be used to lawlessness and anarchy. No! The law must be upheld and the Authority must not go soft on people who took the law into their own hands! The open defiance of the “Gang of Four” Anson Chan, Martin Li, Jimmy Lai, Cardinal Joseph Zen and the Civic Party headed by Audry Yu, only points to the urgency for the government and the Legislative Council to push through Article 23 under which all these activities would fall under activities endangering state security i.e. Sedition. These people must be made to understand that they are Chinese citizens and subject to Chinese laws and sanctions. All countries should respect China’s sovereignty over Hong Kong and refrain from interfering in China’s internal affairs. Hong Kong’s Courts and Magistrates seem to have allowed themselves a lot of latitude in interpreting their mandate under the Basic Law. They seem to have memory lapse and forgotten that their first and foremost duty is to defend Hong Kong’s indigenous interest and should they falter the National People’s Congress (NPC) in Beijing has the final say in the interpretation of the Basic Law. Western precepts of democracy and human rights cannot be applied directly to a country the size of China which for millennium has evolved around Confucius Ethics. It is bound to lead to unintended consequences1. Lee Iacocca, the flamboyant CEO of the Chrysler Corporation who singlehandedly brought his company from the brink of bankruptcy, and turned it into profitability again had this to say, “Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole simply won’t work—it don’t belong”. Western ideas and western ways to solve Chinese problems is a mismatch from the start. Today, China’s GDP ranks only second to the US. In the selection of National Develop Models and priority-setting, China has always maintained an aloofness from the West and has never accepted western tutelage, prodding and pressure. Equanimity and self-reliance had been China’s hallmark. In money management, China Central Bank favoured a conservative and cautious policy. This has enabled China to stay clear of the economic melt-down which hit the Western economies in 2008 – 2009. The recent downgrading of the ratings of US and countries of Euro area from AAA to AA shattered the myth that the US Federal Reserves and Wall Street knew better when it came to how to manage money. Currently, the US and Euro countries are battling the sovereign debt crisis. It’s everyone for himself. According to the latest IMF forecast, the prospects are grim for the Western economies, whereas China’s economy will continue to grow at a rate of 8%-9% per annum for the next decades. The world is now looking to Chinese economic performance to stimulate world recovery. The next round of competition will be in the economy field and the Chinese people are ready and confident. China will be recognised as a Premier Member and make its presence felt! The timing of this article is both propitious and uncanny. Here in Sydney on a visit I was suddenly hit by a kidney disorder forcing me to postpone my departure and seek treatment. On the way over from Hong Kong to Sydney I picked up a recent book at the airport by Dr. Kissinger ‘On China’, and read it in the 8-hour flight to Sydney. Dr Kissinger’s analysis and his revelation of his dialogue with Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, which were recorded verbatim left me awe-struck! My recovery requires long period of bed rest, and I used the time to re-read Dr. Kissinger’s book and took notes. From reading the local Chinese newspaper, I learned of Mr. Wang Guangya’s patriotic call to the people of Hong Kong and the recent admonition of former Premier Zhu Rongji, who said “We should condemn both in speech and writing those who undermine, on a quirk, Hong Kong’s unity and stability.” The former Premier called on the Hong Kong people to abide by the law, strengthen stability, built on success, maintain harmony and unity so as to better coordinate themselves with the Motherland’s ambitious plan for the future. Finally, a word of advice to Hong Kong students. The level of both Chinese and English among students in Hong Kong today is ruefully inadequate. Their Mainland peers have long since overtaken them. I can say this with authority because language is my specialty. I came from an old-fashioned large Chinese family where my Grandmother who had bind feet was the Matriarch. From her I learned two things: how to respect authority and to know my place in the family hierarchy. Students’ place is in the classroom where they learn and listen to teachers’ lectures, not in the open ground to demonstrate or in the Dean’s Office to protest his decision to give the visiting Vice Premier Li Keqiang the seat of honour. I am all in favour of bringing back corporal punishment as a deterrence against recalcitrant and unrepentant students. The ancient adage “Spare the rod and spoil the child” still holds. I strongly propose that Dr. Kissinger’s book ‘On China’ be made mandatory reading for university students of Hong Kong. Dr. Kissinger’s prose is superb, and students should use a good dictionary. Through this book they will gain an insight into their own country and its leaders that they don’t even know about it. This article is based on my observation and analysis of the current social situation in Hong Kong and my sentiments and affection for the Motherland. I sincerely hope that the people of Hong Kong will take to heart the overall interest of their country China and the Chinese people and ponder on Hong Kong’s own future.

What is the definition of family? If the members in a family do not care about each other's feelings, or even hurt each other's feelings, can they still be called a family? Two strangers were introduced by a matchmaker. They were handsome and beautiful. They fell in love, got married, and had two lovely children, a boy ad a girl. They children were well cared for by their grandma, a woman who could not read but knew far more about life than any educated people. The children grew up, went to college in the same year in an early month of 1978. Later on, they had their own families. Each worked hard to raise their own child, thanks to the one-child policy... The grandparents got old, and retired one after another. They have decent pensions, and decent health. They are restless, and they want to help their children (or interfere with their children's lives?)... Now, the grandparents get on each other's nerves daily, for little things. They make their children unhappy, and even their grandchildren wonder why old people behave like children. Is this a unique family, or is it rather common in China?
