February 1, 2008 at 1:52 AM在中国，人们喜欢在照相的时候做V的手势，特别是年轻人和小朋友，我也不例外。但是请大家不要误会，我们做这个V的手势并不带任何的政治色彩。 人们只是想要表达一直开心，喜悦的心情而已。 没有什么东西是永久不变的，不同的文化随着时间的变化也在变化发展，就像在对待V手势这个问题上，我们应该看到它的含义的演变过程，而不是把它单纯的局限在过去。

January 7, 2008 at 5:45 AMHi 小虎， Such as Chairman Mao毛主席 and Premier Zhou 周总理that who did some good affect to China can be called our“领袖”or “伟大领袖”

January 7, 2008 at 5:38 AMHi 小虎， “领导” 在这里（不是治理）是leader的意思，在中文里，“领导”有两个词性，一个是动词，一个是名词。eg: He is our team leader.他是我们队伍的领导。（名词） Under his leadership we won the game.在他的领导下我们赢了比赛。（动词） and we use the word“领袖” to refer to our National leader.

February 1, 2008 at 2:41 AMi really agree with Jenny. We often use“人没事就好” when some bad thing happen. For example, we will say “人没事就好” when someone's money was stolen on a bus. Because chinese people think that 人没事就好，破财消灾。
