NOV 24, 2014 Continued watching slumdog millionaire

On Monday's human geo class, we just continued watched the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. Although the character was born in poverty, but he always have a pure heart even his brother only want to have the rights and wealth. Jamal's quest is to honor a childhood promise to find the girl La Dika. Also in this movie, I found more difference between India and China/America.

• Most of us used the indoor plumbing.
• Our school and education was more organized. like in China, people have to finished their 9 years education in their life. It was illegal if someone cannot make it.
• In the movie, most of the kid don't have bed to sleep and only dressed on the broken clothes.
• Many kids have to get a job when they are very young because of money.

NOV 21, 2104 The culture between China and India

In my opinion, the difference between China and India.

• The religions conflicts. In China, most people are atheist, so we do not have a religious conflict. 
• The biggest difference is one is the "separation and coexistence" and another is "unity and integration".

Indian poetry Rabindranath Tagore had a speech in China in1942, he said: "Is there some places have more precious than the beautiful spirit of Chinese culture in the world?" He thinks that Indians pay too much attention on the Spiritual dimension, and Chinese people can combine the technology and the spiritual things, and let them be balance.

NOV 20, 2104 Slumdog Millionaire

On today's human geo class, Mr. Schick showed us a movie called "Slumdog Millionaire". I have saw it before in China, thats a great movie.
This story happened  in the slums in Mumbai. A little boy's mother was died because of a  religious conflict. At that time, the religious conflict looks like is a very common things, lots of people was died in the conflict. They are poor and use the primitive and rudimentary toilets. Just build from wood and there's a hole in the middle of the wood.

La Marseillaise 
by 
Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle. 

Allons enfants de la patrie, 
Le jour de gloire est arriv? 
Contre nous de la tyrannie 
L'?tendard sanglant est lev? 
Entendez vous dans les campagnes, 
Mugir ces f?roces soldats? 
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras 
Egorger nos fils, nos compagnes! 

Refrain 

Aux armes, citoyens! 
Formez vos bataillons! 
Marchons! Marchons! 
Qu'un sang impur 
Abreuve nos sillons! 

Amour sacr? de la patrie, 
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs! 
Libert?, Libert? cherie, 
Combats avec tes defenseurs! 
Sous nos drapeaux, que la victoire 
Accoure ? tes males accents! 
Que tes ennemis expirants 
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire! 

Refrain 

Nous entrerons dans la carri?re 
Quand nos ain?s n'y seront plus; 
Nous y trouverons leur poussi?re 
Et la trace de leurs vertus. 
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre 
Que de partager leur cercueil, 
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil 
De les venger ou de les suivre! 

Refrain 

English: 

Ye sons of France, awake to glory! 
Hark! Hark! the people bid you rise! 
Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary 
Behold their tears and hear their cries! 
(repeat) 
Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breeding, 
With hireling hosts a ruffian band 
Affright and desolate the land 
While peace and liberty lie bleeding? 

CHORUS 

To arms, to arms, ye brave!
Th'avenging sword unsheathe! 
March on, march on, all hearts resolved 
On liberty or death. 
Oh liberty can man resign thee, 
Once having felt thy gen'rous flame? 
Can dungeons, bolts, and bar confine thee? 
Or whips thy noble spirit tame? 

(repeat) 

Too long the world has wept bewailing 
That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield; 
But freedom is our sword and shield 
And all their arts are unavailing.
