Devil Terminator: Judgment Day by Universal Studio

Our family frequented Universal Studio, Orlando last year with annual gold pass. My boys’ favorite show is Terminator 2 3-D: Battle across Time.

The main plot of Terminator 2 is that the machines who rule the future sent an unstoppable Terminator to assassinate the yet unborn John Connor who would lead the mankind to destroy the machines. A lone warrior is sent to protect John Connor and eventually the warrior terminates the devil machines and their world which is structurally perfect, destroyed by a single bomb.

Machines cannot control the world, however, some group of people behave like machines by framing the heroes up for failure, covering real history, spreading chain lies, killing and grabbing the righteous people’s achievement and properties. They are chain criminals, trying to use fake stories to cover the true history and meanwhile kill all the possible persons in the know. Public clamor can melt metals; accumulated defamation melts the bones. Nevertheless, the wrongdoers are prospering and pretending to be heroes.

Psalms 94: 21-23 says,
“They band together against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
But the Lord has become my fortress,
And my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
He will repay them for their sins
And destroy them for their wickedness;
The Lord our God will destroy them.”

The Lord will come to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and in his truth. He will pick the evildoers out and throw them into the eternal fire of the hell.

God will do this through the Universal Studio because patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Are You God's Wife?


New York City: It's a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing before a shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"


"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boy's reply.

The lady took him by the hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel.

By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"

As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:

 "Are you God's wife?"

Jesus Is In My Calendar

In January, a friend gave my family a calendar with interior design images.

During entire March, I saw Jesus was in the calendar, looking at me earnestly and trustfully. I examined closely, it was just an image of a living room. While I observed the calendar in a distance, Jesus gazed on me cordially.

I watched Jesus for one month. I feel He has endured extreme pain for people He loves. I think that He may have died like Braveheart before He reincarnated into Jesus and He has been suffering after he was crucified.

I wonder: Who is He?

I examined the image again – it is still a living room.

I study Bible and I am deeply touched by the words.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV)

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28 – 30)

With a Little Support, You Can Swim Freely

Sometimes, you can feel trapped and frustrated as a drowning man struggling in deep water, incapable to swim. You feel hopeless, helpless and at a loss what to do next, likewise, a little boat in a bumpy ocean without a safe place to put its anchor.


Nevertheless, there is always a way out and there is always a person you can turn to. If you communicate well, someone would listen and lend a hand to you to drag you up. If you move backward a step, you can find there is plenty of space for you. If you turn around, you can find that a helpful person is waiting for you at some corner.


If you are trapped, do the following:


-Be prepared; do not be despaired.


-Keep in high spirit; try to flow with life. If you really are drowned, it is over.

-Keep learning new knowledge and new skills. When the opportunity comes, you are ready.

-Make good judgment and turn to right people; otherwise, you can be kicked down.

-Communicate well with right people. Say right and do right with right people.

With a little support, you can swim well in the ocean of life. Likewise, with a Sterns Puddle Jumper Basic Life Jacket, even a three-year-old can swim freely in the water just like my little son.

The Joy of Living


Life is beautiful on its own. I realize this after I translated the short story Good Luck and Best Wishes from Chinese into English.

In the story, people live a primitive life with few modern belongings in a far-off mountainous area; however, they enjoy life enormously. A bowl of fermented spirits, a flowery bun, colorful strings, spices, scented pouches, and longing for love and marriage bring them great joy of living.

Mom teaches her teen daughter how to hold a needle and how to use a thimble to sew flowered cloth into the shape of a heart to make a scented pouch, and how to spread aromatic spices to make the scented pouch bulge. The girl savors the pleasure of using a thimble to push a needle, the pleasure of pulling a needle through a cloth, and the pleasure of joining two pieces of cloth together.

Dad teaches his young boy to pound the spices in a mortar with a stone pestle, but spices jump out mischievously. Through pounding and pounding, the boy finally can make the spices turn compliant and burst into flowers, which satisfies him. As he pounds the pestle up and down, the house becomes filled with the aroma.

The atmosphere is aromatic and mystic and the practice means more than itself. The teenagers feel that it is something beautiful and worth expecting. The implication of sex education is evasive, beautiful and healthy.

On Dragon Boat Festival (the 5th day of the 5th lunar month), the young boys and young girls climb onto mountaintop to collect Chinese spicy mugwort plants, they feel like harvesting good luck and best wishes for the entire year. They enjoy being young, being together, being pure and being in love.

The story doesn't provide a specific time setting nor a particular place. There is nothing to do with politics. It is simply an ode to life. Living is meaningful and beautiful by itself. It doesn't take much to be happy.


Good Luck and Best Wishes is included in the short story collection Street Wizards and Other New Folklore , one volume of 21st Century Chinese Literature, which presents a kaleidoscope of Chinese folk customs and provides a view of the multifaceted and living China.
