There are lots of firsts during my trip to Jiangsu and Shanghai

In a nutshell, When I deal with folks I like,I am flexible and cool with equanimity. I endured the negatives and search for greatness in a field where few have attained such disciplines such as Economics and languages.(Chinese-Wu dialect and Mandarin)in every moment I visited in China. I list the places I visited such as Rudong County in Jiangsu Province and Shanghai,the city of my birth. I had good weeks including twists of my heart with thumping surprises in a versatile mood. If I love a person,I am unable to keep secrets with straight expressions from my heart and my mind. After such spiritual involvement,I have been feeling jovial, cheerful with imaginative moxie as Xie Shihao. I shall take charge of my tranquility by guarding my space regardless of claustrophobia maze in JingJiang Inn in Shanghai. My productivity ebbs and flows for sweet and sour moments with grandiose vision and topnotch expectations. I study and focus and be cool in English and Chinese expressions with different characters,however. Savvy? Xie Shihao aka Francis Shieh. October 31, 2007 at 3.16 p.m.

Gregory Clark, an economist who takes the side of culture. " China's expansion demonstrates that economic policies and institutions matter." Chinese culture of simple lifestyle and hard work have proven to enhance productivity with the free market system in evidence. Confucianism is the basic bottom line in the minds and hearts of the folks in China. It is the positive philosophy of China as the engine gaining momentum in economic growth. The future is bright and the economy shall be booming in the 21st century especially after Olympics in Beijing 2008 and Expo in Shanghai in 2010 as I would envision in my blogs in the past,at present and in the future as well.

Happiness goes with new experiences. Flying to Shanghai

Washpost,Oct.2, 2007 Business section D1

As China opens,US lobbyists get ready to move in:Henry Kissinger played the role for diplomatic relations with China under Nixon Administration. Kissinger and I were colleague at the RAND Corporation in 1964-65. He was an consultant and I was a member of the staff in the Economics Department. I published "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in 1965 on page 8 hinting the Pin Yin and the need for China to join the world community and the role of USA to have communication with China. Kissinger went to China in 1971 before Nixon did in 1972. Well,I played a role as a scholar to promote US-China relations with my modest vision as empirical evidence today.

We live in a world of possibility with many options. Our strength is empowered by capable and creative efforts. Life can restore, recharge and reset for integrity. Folks are sweet with beauty plus joy into life. I shall appreciate the good company that is coming my way on October 4, 2007. "Wang nian zhi jiao" is the guideline for trust with sense of belonging and enjoyment. The meeting will be fascinating and passionate in learning for honest living. The rules of gracious etiquette would stabilize with laughter and warmth. The trip shall be purposeful and ultimately rewarding with direction apropos of my golden years.

I got inklings with intuition for inner happiness

When someone is in tune and selfless, peace would prevail forever. Lofty and reasonable goals are the ones worthy my effort with motivation. My sense of humor is never out of whack and good for others. My goal apropos of lifelong learning makes me feel totally alive and feeling young. I am in need of fun, reviving my spirit of youth. Relationship with an alter ego would be interesting, healthy and exciting. I do have stamina to be cheerful with faith, hope and love with clout ad infinitum.
