That was 07 Jan, 2004. The second time I went to San francisco to attend the 20th Macworld. That’s the second time I met Steve Jobs.
He looked much older than two years before, He just underwent a big surgery to remove an islet cell tumor from his pancreas several months ago.

Apple announced a new iPod shuffle last Wednesday. It’s the first product which wasn’t introduced by Steve Jobs since his return to Apple 12 years ago.
Steve Jobs had to leave Apple because his bad health condition this January. We were told that he will be back on the job at the end of June. Even though I heard too much bad news about his health these days, I still pray for him. I hope it will be Steve Jobs who introduce Apple iPhone Nano to us in June!

Chinese tradition is somewhat complex. Several food exhibitions will open to celebrate the new spring Festival in Chengdu. Yeah, People here love tea and noshs more than flowers.
ChengDu is a city very different from GuangZhou. I love Chengdu, But I miss Guangzhou’s Spring Festival Flower Market too! There are some pictures I took last year, You can see how people enjoy flower market at GuangZhou.

Today, Chinese traditional things are so popular that many cities have old-style streets. You can find some traditional Chinese gadgets and traditional food there. Jinli is one of old-style streets in Chengdu, SiChuan.
But I always think all these old-style streets are too similar, They should have more local color to attract the tourists.

John Woo’s new movie “Red Cliff “(赤壁 in Chinese ) is very hot these days. That’s a story about an important campaign in Three Kingdoms (三国) period.
I don’t know how do you think about Woo’s Three Kingdoms story, But I know many Chinese people are unsatisfied with this movie, Because they know the story of Three Kingdoms better than John Woo.

New Year Painting is one of the most important Chinese traditions. It’s a kind of Wood Block Painting which past on walls and doors during New Spring Festival.
Mianzhu new year painting is one of the main four new year paintings of China. I love Mianzhu New Year Painting very much. And hope it can recover quickly from the damage of WenChuan Earthquake.
