    Jan Wong starts out as a naïve, nineteen year old, Canadian student who is displeased with the capitalistic nature of her surroundings. It was the early seventies and to the author, she was experiencing a cultural revolution all her own. Opposition to the Vietnam War was strongly prevalent, the notion of feminism was beginning to arise, and there was a strong desire against conformity of any nature. The author grew up middle class to second generation Chinese citizens and was fueled by bourgeois guilt, and by a feeling of separation from her roots. “Curiosity about my ancestry made me feel ashamed that I couldn’t speak Chinese and knew so little about China” (14). After devouring every morsel of information that she could, she firmly believed Mao and his “comrades” were the only people who had a legit shot at establishing a utopic society. It was official. Jan Wong was going to Beijing.…

    Rarely can it be said that a film has defined a genre, but never is that more true than in the case of The Godfather. Since the release of the 1972 epic (which garnered ten Academy Award nominations and was named Best Picture), all "gangster movies" have been judged by the standards of this one (unfair as the comparison may be). If a film is about Jewish mobsters, it's a "Jewish Godfather"; if it's about the Chinese underworld, it's an "Oriental Godfather"; if it takes place in contemporary times, it's a "modern day Godfather."…

    Most emerging countries have a penchant for highly diversified conglomerates. India's Tata Group, which accounts for almost 6% of the country's GDP, has subsidiaries in carmaking, agricultural chemicals, hotels, telecommunications and consulting. Reliance Industries' range sprawls from petrol products and clothes to fresh food. But such diversification is not confined to giant organisations. China is full of small and medium-sized companies that have fingers in many pies, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. Many emerging countries also rely heavily on state-owned enterprises. These organisations are peculiar hybrids that have never been seen before; the closest relatives are the European trading companies of the 16th-19th centuries, such as Britain's East India Company. They are not old-fashioned nationalised companies run by the government and designed to control chunks of the national economy, but nor are they classic private-sector companies that sink or swim. Instead they are amphibious creatures that flit between sea and land, borrowing money from governments at subsidised rates one moment, plunging into the global market the next.…

    The story begins with a young and successful banker Andy Dufresne whose life changes dramatically when he is convicted of the murderer of his wife and her secret lover. Therefore, Andy is sent to Shawshank Prison to be permanently sentenced despite his claims of innocence. During time in prison, Andy builds up friendship with Red, who is Shawshank’s black market dealer that could supply anyone with almost everything. Therefore, Andy also has to face the cruel(Do you need to use this word?) reality: a corrupt warden and guards as well as prisoners who are willing to use beating or rape others (強奸其他犯人)(What do you mean here?) to ensure their dominance. But Andy still retains the hope and he does not give up. He uses previous experience as a banker to earn favor with warden and guards as he gives advice on their financial affairs. In exchange, Andy is able to work in the library with an older prisoner named Brooks. Therefore, Andy improves the library with more books and better facilities. After serving 17 years of sentence, Andy is proved to be innocent. However, the warden decides to hide this truth and refuses to let Andy go. Eventually, in subsequent morning, the warden discovers that Andy escaped from Shawshank by a massive tunnel(通過狹小通道逃走) (?). Several years later, Red finally leaves Shawshank and has trouble in adapting the life in society. Therefore, he reads Andy’s notes and accepts his offer (佢係監獄收到封信,封信佢去左一個地方,然後佢係個到拿到封信同錢,上面寫住一起去墨西哥打拼,因為太多字) (How come here is a sudden offer?). Two friends finally meet on the shore of the Pacific. yes(THE END?)…
