-If you losed your lover. I think you can be friends, too. But it may be sad when you walk to where you had been. So i suggest that go to the spot less. And be care for music may couse you in bad mood, too!

Flying Phoenix

As everyone knows, the products which made in China are always dangerous. Not talking too far, does everyone remember what happened recently about our nutrition source--milk? It(tainted milk) caused plenty of people died. Now, China will develop civil aircraft manufacturing. What will it happen? I don't dare to imagine.

Besides, if i had the chance to ride in China's ARJ-21 airplane, I would not take it! Why? If there had some accident happened, who will take charge for it? It must become the driver's responsabilities.
