老徐 (Worry [One picture])
Translation of 老徐's 焦虑（图一） post:
I took small Wei Qun (围裙) to the hospital to do a B-scan, it seems the hospital got a clearer B-scan machine, as the doctors were examining they said: Look, this is the head, this is the small heart, the small stomach. I just saw a big blur, I couldn't work out what was what. Anyway, the result of the examination was that the baby kitten was developing normally and that it had already developed fully. I felt as though a weight was lifted off my shoulders. As they say, it must be born one of these days, wishing on the stars, wishing on the moon ... otherwise I won't have peace of mind, I get anxious just leaving the house. Tonight I went to watch Mamma Mia 《妈妈咪呀》, I was late, I was leaving in a hurry, forgetting this and that. It was easy to get to but I was 15 minutes late, it's pretty good, the actress who played the mother sang really well. With a theatre as badly-preserved as that, there was something wrong with the acoustics ... this kind of American musical really seems as though they're partying with the audience. The music was good, collectively the dancers danced easily and they created a happy atmosphere. What was sad was, their voices were drowned by the two of the pieces of vocal music. At the end, when they returned to the stage for the happy finale, the accompaniment was even more lively and the chorus sounded even better, the audience almost jumped up with them.
Wei Qun does nothing but sleep every day, addicted to lying on my felt. Wei Qun miaows around, smelling here and there, as if she's looking for something. The last few times she was like this, I thought she was going to give birth, blindly stressing over her for ages, with nothing happening at the end everytime. My great aunt, what are you trying to do ... there're always people advising me to have kids but just this one kitten has already got me pacing up and down in anxiety, rushing on and confusing myself, if it was a child ... Heavens, worry, worry.

Translating 老徐 (Is this fist better than that fist in terms of 'the entertaining spirit'
Translation of 老徐's 此王八拳是否彼王八拳之“娱乐策划人” post:
This year's winter sunlight is unusually good, always stirring up the desire of people to do their new year's shopping. Bo Xue (博学) says some shopping centres have Einstein's most recent air conditioner. Even though I heard this, it doesn't mean I'll follow like a sheep but it still made me consider it. I don't know if it's because mine doesn't heat up any more or because the one I bought is too old now. I haven't thought of the new year as a major thing for many years, just as something when everyone takes holidays. On the other hand, the roads are tranquil like many times before. Beijing really is a city with a large floating population.
I filmed in the mountains with a lot of hard work, for a person like me who doesn't like working, doesn't like being dirty and doesn't like to be tired, it's a kind of life I haven't had for a long time. The best thing about it is that it feels more and more like when I was spending a quite time at home. The sky above and the ground below. My new home's bedroom has been painted greenish black and at first I wanted to paint the ceiling the same. When we saw the thing, everyone unanimously disliked it. I can't bare to even change it. Mostly because I'm too lazy to trouble them again.
People already have enough troubles, old people die in bed, wars don't stop. We all say having one more problem is worse than having one less one but there are some people who just add to the troubles.
Recently, from out of nowhere there're new clumsy rats. For example, the new so-called 'entertaining spirits', in the middle of these kind of people, there's a part that's really interesting, a fly that just wants to spoil a pot of soup. I feel that they're jumping and hopping acting more and more shamefully. I don't know whoever's brain which has water in, to make them donate money to support their publicity. Before, shame was kind of fashionable and it needed to be announced. Our service industry's development really pays attention to everything.
This kind of person, really needs some backbone, acting shy and being parasites to other people who look famous. They will just rely on whoever has the most news recently. People who are full of energy and easily excited wouldn't be annoyed enough, they're a bit impatient. I've heard they've already found a shameless follower's detailed address. Might as well go up and give them a good beating. I'll say the negatives, he'll be happy that you hit him, they'd go up and down the streets with a loudspeaker shouting: Extra! Extra! Who, who hit me? Hitting me so hard that I have a bloody nose and bruised face and making me scared out of my wits!
Isn't this the result they want to achieve, let's not fufill their wishes. They just want us to point fingers and say names, without a chance. I still don't believe it, that you can just go along like this and have your name reach heaven. I just see a lot of people quarreling where they were once happy. Changing a hate story into one of flowers, now, noone lies low and keeps silent anymore. Gentlemen are guaranteed to leave these kind of people far, far away. Non-gentlemen will become rotten with them. The clumsy comedian also isn't a new noun, this world never lacks any. And if we don't see each other how far will we go, there're lots of ways to get food, I need to quickly turn over a new leaf.
People are really tolerant so I must forgive you.
Behind me is the beach.
Other: The bastard fist has only been let out for two days and there're people advising me don't get 'angry and annoyed'. Each of my friends, how does anger come? Not from an untroubled life. I'm happy writing in my blog.

Translating 老徐 (Is this fit as lengthy as those people good at using fists)
Translation of 老徐's 王八拳是否彼王八拳之好人之长篇 post:
Sleep late or get up early, it seems the biological clock adjusts itself really quickly. The beginning of the new year, shouting and clamouring and shaking fists. I don't even know what to write anymore. I'm temporarily toning my body. I'm now considering something that one of my section supervisors said, actors who enjoy themselves a lot normally isn't a good thing. I've been thinking about it, is it better to be a good person or a good actor? What my teacher usually says is: if you want to be a good actor you have to first be a good person. For a long time I took it as it is. My section supervisor asked me to look at my current situation, what he said mainly made sense. So I need to mull over these words.
There are many types of good people, one kind is: always good people, are they just posing and putting on a mild nature. Not caring about worldly success, on the inside and on the surface, they aren't intense or cold towards people or things, how are you? I'm very well, how's everyone? type of people. I don't greatly like this kind of people, they don't act like real people, they could be offered to the wax museum. Once it's real and you've associated with them they probably aren't fun. With just remaining, good, ok. It's not fun.
There's another kind of person, people from the North East call them people with medium temperament. The so-called 'medium-temperament' people, don't pose at all, they say it how it is, of course there're a huge number of offended people. I don't meet this kind of person very often, I guess they've been beaten to death with sticks a long time ago among the legal society. On the other hand, I've met very few of these characters. I've hidden myself behind these characters having fun, cursing, doing what I like, being cold. If it isn't pleasing to the eye, then say a few words for protection. Sometimes you think: why is this brother so angry? Why has he got so much to say …… so, I've seen the actual person, a pretty good person. Always lending money to people, people don't return it but he's too embarrassed to ask for it. Embarrassed when meeting a stranger. These kind of people, don't have too many friends —— transparent on the surface, easy to be familiar with, too embarrassed to even open their mouths. Among the people that I know there are two typical characters like that, Lao Wang (老王), Xiao Han (小韩). There're some areas where they're very similar, people have agreed on what I've said. If there're people who don't agree, can come and tell me a reason.
There's another kind of mild temperament person, they pose big (posing is not good for your future, this will protect people and offend people, posing is not popular now, I thought it wasn't fair but before they invent a more suitable word for this I'll temporarily order people to obey to get used to these words in the language.)
I've gone off the track, let's get to the point. There's another kind: fake mild temperament people, it's obvious you can hear them typing away on their small calculators, it's obvious they have interest and go for charm, squeeze whichever persimmon is the most soft. As soon as they see 'the VIP', wine isn't even enough to strengthen their weak guts. They still pretend to be good and moreover have an honest and frank personality. Honest, I'm very honest. —— Acting very sincere but not very realistic, especially for us who've studied how to act, the subject technique is called: play over, mild temperament people's lives aren't enough, too many rips. What a joke, don't make me spit over two miles away. If you have skill, take it, your set of words and the nation's leaders, and go straight with the people who gave you money. When it's over, I can help you out. I can't guarantee you'll eat well. You might see some meat, two or three meals apart.
That…… don't be cold ……
All the people who I understand to be good, as I was getting to know them I came across the type of person who: knows many things and have a clear standpoint, know the proper limits to speech and action, understands about things not people; are introspective and first consider all problems themselves, do as they would be done by, understand forgiveness and how other people have different intentions compared to what they actually do, if they have an obvious weak point they should be able to see it themselves, not necessarily always as a threat to themselves.
That's about it, if I think of more, I'll write it up.
I've said so much about being a good person, are they good at acting, do good people or bad people act better? Is it still important? …… in Dream 《梦想》 there's a line: who doesn't pretend, who doesn't? they would've already knocked his brains out, in society you have to pretend and pretend to make any progress. Pretending, shouldn't be shameful, pretending to be shamed is what is shameful.
I'll rethink that last phrase, I suddenly feel, Mr Wang Ai Nian Hong (王爱脸红) was surprisingly very tolerant of me.

Translating 老徐 (The great leader doesn't want to see)
Translation of 老徐's 大领导不要看 post:
In the first day of 2007, I've been battling with the bitter cold in the mountains. The coal-digging spot is on the mountain and I need to climb up and down many times a day. I've exercised my leg muscles and chatted with classmate Jin (金同事) sighing over how this coal-digging is so different from the other kind. The other kind of coal digging has an air-conditioned suite room, this kind has freezing cold days, frozen roads and rugged paths. Isn't it when the sky comes falling down that all kinds of people will first have hard times, rought times, hungry times, cold times. It's hard to accomplish things when you're comfortable …… I'm not comfortable anymore me, me, me.
Yesterday I couldn't go home, I fluttered my eyebrows and put on a happy face to send my colleagues my current news, I asked about what kind of things people are generally doing, people accompanying mum and people eating well. Me, me, me, lifting a frozen red old face sitting cross-legged on a bed playing with the computer. Sitting in a village in the mountain attempting to understand what happens in the world, there're big things going on or is it the first part goverend by Qin, the second by Han and the third by Wei, Shu and Wu, this isn't very new either. Balance, balance …… or does physical labor have the most honor, honor, honor!!!
The sights from here are still the same, I need to sleep early —— I just like to talk about eating about sleeping, what's, wrong, with, that.
Rebel, I want to rebel …… from the start of this year, this son of a gun will start playing around, everyone stay a bit further away from me, don't provoke me unless you want to be an innocent victim.
I'm really scary —— I'm sure you're frightened of me now.
My language only represents a portion of my standpoint, I'm not responsible for every word that I utter. Thanks for tuning in.

Translating 老徐 (Goodbye, 2006.)
Translation of 老徐's 再见，2006。 post:
The snow's stopped, the road's clear, going up the mountain again. Three hours of mountain road with safeguards this time. I slept at ease on the car.
The last day of 2006, I've blazed like a fire through my work. Being here for for several years doesn't mean I see a lot of that. When I filmed A Letter 《来信》, it crossed years, though I've already forgotten how I got through it. What I can be sure of is that they haven't been quiet like the end of this year. The days are getting better, this is really worth rejoicing over.
Sitting on the bed in the mountain hotel, time's passing second by second, the heater's giving out a 'hua hua' sound. I haven't seen the flourescent lamp in a long time, the small yellow light from the wall lamp is still warm. I haven't spent my life like this, the voices of the people outside are noisy and confused, if I stay for a bit everything fades out. I'm really bored, thoughts are flashing across my mind, I'm recalling the past, I'm missing my family, I'm feeling regretful, I'm feeling rejoiceful, these are the themes of my days.
2006 is going to pass soon. My main leader says: you have real good fortune, you still need to try hard. The second leader says: Small girl —— the things you've done aren't too bad.
Actually, there's nothing to really sum up. This year I've written down a yearlong diary, looking back through it, they're all memories. Everyday, there's some big event.
So, Happy New Year! Goodbye, 2006.
