广州地铁是否应该设立女性专用车厢?

我基本上可以称得上一位男性女权主义者,但还是反对这个做法,放着那么多诸如女厕所改造这等大事不管(广州地铁里面的女厕所蹲坑都多于男厕了么??),却搞这种中看不中用的行为艺术。如果这个做法也合理,那么,是不是也应该设立残疾人专用车厢、老人专用车厢、病人专用车厢、LGBT专用车厢?而且最后一类群体最好再细分为L车厢、、G车厢、B车厢、T车厢?

如果有人性骚扰或者有歧视行为,那应该用法律规定对侵犯者实施惩罚、或者订立、完善法规去保护某个群体,而不是采取这种奇怪得近乎倒行逆施的办法。历史上出现过男女分校的教育、美国也出现过黑白人类分开的交通规则、希特勒德国更是出现过将犹太人透入隔都的非人举措,他们的借口都是为了保护某一类人群,但实则都是明修栈道、暗渡陈仓,而且被历史所否定和淘汰。如今在公车上隔离男女的做法,也许不存在暗渡陈仓,但至少是一种不仅充分研究出现的懒政。

Brother Gensheng: Memory of a friend

I grew up with the partial company of a friend named Gensheng. This is his nickname and his full name is not known to me though I know we share the same family name.

When I was about 11, I started to work in the mountains with my parents. Chestnut trees were then the only economic plant besides rice. People cut all the bushes among the chestnut trees in the burning days of summer and when autumn arrives in September, chestnuts started to ripen. It was the most significant source of income for the destitute farmers; they therefore gave top priority to those chestnuts. They build thatched huts on the mountain slopes and slept there during night after working a whole day, so that thieves dared not steal their harvest. The small village never lacked petty thieves because poverty bred bachelors who more often than not end up in theft or other mean dealings.

But Gensheng was an exception. I called him Brother Gensheng because he was about ten years older than me. Our chestnut gardens bordered so we guarded those trees together and we saw each other a lot. He was a light stammerer which made him seem more honest than funny. He was born in a family as poor as a church mouse. Like a literati said, the rich get richer and the poor get more children. He had two brothers and two sisters. I did not know much about his sisters because only men went to do the strenuous labour in mountains except for a few women like my mother. But I knew his other two brothers pretty well: the elder one was short and plain in both appearance and character; the younger one was also short but much more articulate than the other two brothers. Until now, my opinion about the three brothers is still that Gensheng is the most amiable, more friendly and more respectable one. However, he was also the most tragic one.

It was said that when he was a very young boy he was driven by his rough father to work outside and he was once hurt in an accident. He caught tetanus that time and had been suffering from lockjaw since then. But the family was too poor to do anything rather than continue driving the cubs to work. In needy families, children were not born to be loved and protected, but to help and to labour. Poor children actually do not have childhood for it is filled with hardships. Days full of hard labour could not be called childhood, let alone short of parental love and protection.

But Gensheng growed up into a quite handsome young man, a merry and lovely soul. He worked hard in the mountains; he ate a lot and he treated most people around with friendliness and sincerity. Though I don't remember the content of our numerous chats during those years, yet I do remember the sweetness of the fresh mornings and crisp evenings of the late summer days. We sometimes would get some chestnuts in the shells and buried them under a campfire. When the fire died, we dug the chestnuts out and all needles on the shells were removed and the shells could be crushed easily. The nuts were exceptionally delicious for its freshness and naturalness. I never ate any chestnut like that until now. We saw the carefree floating clouds in sunny days and listened to the burst of thunder in stormy days. Another very thrilling thing was that sometimes some neighbours would brought their homemade guns and let us try a couple of shot. It was the most scaring but most exciting experience in life.

I spent five or six summers like that and then went to college that was far from my mountainous home village. I saw Gensheng a couple of times since my college years. In a year, during the Spring Festival, I happened to ask my parents where was Brother Gensheng, for I hadn't seen him for long. My parents said that he suffered a lot from tetanus and bothered his parents much; before the winter his father handed him some money and asked him to leave the family. He henceforth disappeared.

Brother Gensheng has been gone for some place for over two decades. His father passed away more than a decade ago. His younger brother went to work in the South and settled there after marrying and local woman. His elder brother married another woman from the West and had a son, yet probably due to the poverty she left the family one day and never returned, leaving the 5 year old son with the mediocre husband. The boy now is about ten and is as mute and as plain as his father. The boy's grandma, Brother Gensheng's mama passed away two days ago.

Every family would eventually reunite sooner or latter, in this or next world.

Middle Age Goal

Many middle-aged men lack a definite goal, just like a stray kite lacks a thread. It is not merely the anxiety of the emigrants and all those relocated people. It is also the sentiment worrying many locals who have been living on their homeland for decades.

I have a friend back home and he just complained that to me this morning. He says he lacks a goal and lacks the vigor to pursue for something and also lacks the resolution to make a change is his life. He is institutionalized by his own life which is too stable and too smooth. It is understandable. Living in this world, all souls suffer from anxieties of different types during different phases in their life. When they are young they want to grow up quickly and graduate soon. When they are virgins they want to taste the flabour of love and sex as early as possible. When they are students they want to get out of school and make money, but when they start to work and make money they realize that they are selling their time and life and they regret and even resent working like that; they begin to look forward to weekends, holidays and retirement. When they have tasted love and sex they want more, but when they have more and probably too much they begin to feel empty or upset, probably mixed with a queer sense of happiness, just like Moyan said in one of his novels: the man slipped down from his wife's belly after hard work and felt a sort of empty happiness. People in work want ultimate financial freedom so that they can stop selling either their muscle or their brain. But probably only one people in one hundred thousand can finally realize their luxury dream of the so-called ultimate financial freedom.  Some thoughtful people believe people suffer from all kinds of sorrows and woes and anxieties only because they harbour too many desires in their bosom. They need to negate and eliminate their desires and simplify their life so that they can possess more freedom, namely, they could possess more possession of their own life. This actually means people should annihilate their dreams if they want to live a down-to-earth life; but a lot other argue saying that it is a colourful bubble of illusion that will burst easily facing hard facts of this commodified and reified human world. Both make much sense. Shall we adopt the golden mean?

Yes, we should. For life is like a sword which would be highly breakable if there is too much the hard substances steel and it will be much stronger if something softer is added to it for sometimes softer substance are not hard but they are very tough.

 A river needs water. They are the goal and life of each other.

What man is to a goal a river is to water.

Absurdity delights in absurdity

Many things I am not happy with. Many people I dislike. But I can't write them, for the flame of anger may tear me asunder, and that would be my foe's desire. I therefore turn to memory, turn to the past, turn to the bygones. When they present unpleasant things and beings become bygones, I may also begin to write them. Memory softens things, especially hearts.

Actually, anger may be the most lethal desire, the desire to destroy and destruct. Anger is a devil. There are many other devils, like envy, greed, laziness. One should make a list of his commandments to purify his polluted life. Life is polluted once it enters the world, even before it enters the world. Or life itself is a pollution? Only God knows. If that is the case, pollution is a sort of purity. Or according to some standard, the more polluted it is, the purer it is. If that the case, white and black could be thoroughly reversed. So could heaven and hell, virtue and evil, man and woman. The last couple now are virtually reversible.

I used to think dancing Indians in American films absurd, though that may be the attempted effect of the directors. Now I think my thought then ridiculous. Modern people of other races also have their loud and noisy rituals. It is usually called party, or karaoke. They yell, dance, howl, growl, cry, laugh, or burst into tears and other fluids. I mean sometimes they burst their drinks out of their mouth. That'a ugly and dirty. But sometimes it seems people have to make themselves ugly, dirty, lousy or cheap so as to feel happy. Some people abandon themselves to low things to seek for happiness. That very probably is not happiness. That is fleeting pleasure, no matter how thrilling it is. This is absurdity.

Absurdity delights in absurdity. Purity delights in purity.

Why is this the job for you?

Tell us about one of your favorite travel moments.
---I traveled to Plague in the summer of 2013 and stayed there for three days. The experience there is greatly memorable because I saw cultural diversity, historical and architectural richness and lingual difference off course. My most favourite site is the Charles Bridge, which was full of artists, musicians, various happy pedestrians. I bought a hairpin for my then girlfriend who is my wife now living together with me in another beautiful city---Toronto.

Tell us about the accomplishment of which you are most proud. Go ahead and brag. We want you to.
---I was born in a remote rural village in a very inconvenient mountainous area in mid China. My family was very poor then and primary and high schools I attended were not so well-staffed. I started learning English when I was 13 years old. But I fought so hard that I made giant progress and numerous scholarships and awards. Finally, I made my way to become an English teacher in a top university in Shanghai, where I won my MA and PhD in English. Not one Shanghai locals were not surprised when they learnt my story. Many foreigners believed that I learnt my English in UK or States because of the proficiency, especially in speaking. I actually made my living by learning English well. Now I realize that learning well gives me a second life.

Our Company culture is one of our most important assets. This 'EFness'- so very difficult to describe - is our culture and our secret weapon! Our Core Values: 1. Entrepreneurial Spirit 2. Quality 3. Passion 4. Nothing is Impossible 5. Attention to Detail 6. Innovation 7. Cost-consciousness If EF was your company and you could add an EF Core Value - what would you choose and why?
---I would choose "Now or Never." Because this value could remind people---learners and staff, that the present moment is the most momentous second and only when one could seize and make the best use of each present second, could they achieve success and translate their dreams into realities. Otherwise, all dreams would be nothing but illusions. This phrase could also teach people the significance of focus--focus on their present business and do not be absent-minded or get distracted; or else their consciousness is invaded and colonized by either trivialities or irrelevant issues, and their life will thus be wasted away unknowingly.

Why is this the job for you? (Tweet format! 140 character or less)
---I have made miracles in my life. I have made miracles for my students and clients. And I am bound to making more miracles for more people.

如何成功申请加拿大探亲签证?--转


目录
一、签证准备篇之各送签方式费用大比较
二、签证准备篇之材料准备汇总
三、签证递交篇之注意事项
四、签证经验小总结

一、签证准备篇之各送签方式费用大比较

       加拿大签证简单来说有两种方式送签:A、旅行社代办。B、自己送签(又包括自己到签证中心送签和到领事馆送签)

     先介绍旅行社代办:
    优点是:自己比较省心,对着旅行社的办理须知提交中文材料即可。而且可能会有人指点一下,材料准备的当中可以找人解答一下。
     缺点是:价格贵。人家会多收最少过千的代办费。一般加拿大签费旅行社代办签证的,最少1700以上。不包过。而且只是单次签证的费用。

     自己送签:
     优点:绝对是省钱,所有收费只是官方指定收费。
      缺点:所有材料都只能自己准备,没人问,也没人会回答你。而且各项准备的材料都要自己再翻译成英文(按规定所有提交的材料都要有中英对照的)。
     
      自己送签的签证费:单次入境¥500/人,多次入境¥1000/人。全家人最高收费:¥2680(我一家三口的多次签证费就收了2680,但父母的就不能作为一家人,另外收费)
     另外如果通过签证中心递交申请:每人还要多交¥250的协助送签费。

      北京领事馆接受全中国人民的签证申请
      广州领事馆不接受各项签证服务
      香港领事馆可以审批华南地区居民的签证申请
       广州的加拿大签证中心收件后都是送到北京领事馆审批资料的

      广东居民申请签证,可以自己到北京或者香港的领事馆面签,或者自己寄材料到上述使馆办签证。或者交到广州的签证中心,由签证中心代为递件。

      北京的使馆交材料据说要预约的,香港的使馆交资料不用预约,但当天不能知道结果,要一星期后再亲自回去取护照和材料。

      综合以上情况,我还是选择了在广州的签证中心递件。旅行社代办省心些,但一人贵了近千元,五口人是多五千,万一不批,未见官先打八十,超肉痛啊。
     香港感觉也麻烦,首先要落香港,要来回两次,交通费都不止¥250。这钱还是让签证中心赚吧。
     自己去北京使馆签就真是不靠谱了,山长水远,寄资料过去也怕啊,很多收原件的,万一不见了,麻烦就大了。  

二、签证准备篇之材料准备汇总

签证中心的网址是http://www.vfs-canada.com.cn/  有中文版的,上面有详尽的资料介绍。

有介绍各种签证所需的材料清单,感觉已经是写得非常清楚了。还有各种表格的模板格式,你对着清单准备资料和填写即可。

一般到加拿大,现在可以选择是旅游签证还是探亲/访友签证。其中资料最大的区别是:
旅游签证不需要加拿大的邀请人资料(包括邀请信、邀请人居所人员居住情况、邀请人的加拿大身份证明、邀请人的资金状况证明、邀请人与你的关系证明)
但是旅游签证要提供一份旅游行程单

就象网上很多人说的,刚开始不想暴露太多的在加亲友关系,怕给人感觉我们一家五口一起去有移民倾向。而且重要的是资料可以简便很多。所以一开始我原来是想办旅游签证的。
但是经过咨询,居然旅游签证自己去申请(指不是团队的那种旅游签证),只接受四个人以下的申请。多于四人的,一定只能是申请团队的旅游签证。
我也问过,那我能不能跟父母分开申请,这样就不会超四个人的规定了。答复说,如果查到你们行程一样的,是有关系的,又不是一起申请,这样是违规的,会留下不诚信记录。

后来再咨询,那如果申请探亲签证,是不是可以不受人数限制了?回答可以。
唉,那只得乖乖按探亲签证的要求准备各项资料,包括要邀请人的各项资料了。

因为我原来去的初衷,是想顺便探个亲,也是想周围去看看旅游一下的。所以后来提交的资料,就是综合探亲和旅游签证的材料都一起递交了。即既有邀请人的各项资料,也有自己规划的旅游行程单。

综合探亲和旅游签证,上面所需的全部东西我都递交了,而且根据自己的情况,还额外递交了不少材料,而且感觉五个人的材料一大堆实在是太乱了,我还自己整理了一个资料递交的目录清单,一起递交上去了。方便自己,也方便签证官看我究竟是交了什么材料。
Check List
要注意所有东西如果是中文的,都要交英文译件,加拿大一个好处是东西都不用公证,自己翻译就行了,只要别译错。网上有好多模板的
Checklist for Private Visitor Temporary Resident Visa Applications / 审查表
1
这个在官网有,到交资料的时候,签证中心的人会现场帮你填,看你交了多少资料,最后要你签名确认的。
A Letter to Officer / 给签证官的信
2
这个不是官方要求的,我自己写的,主要是跟签证官说我这次申请的原因,我为什么想去加拿大。当然不可避免地作大狠夸了加拿大景色优美等,很想去看看,反正有多肉麻写多肉麻,千穿万穿马屁不穿啊,另外也说想便看看家人等。反正探亲和旅游的目的都写到了。
Attachment of letter(Travel photos in the past,Descriptions of our employers,screenshots for my post on the website)/信件附件(过往旅游照片、就职单位介绍、网上发布的历史游记)
3
这个网上也很多人的经验说了,这也是一个加分项目。不是官方要求我在给签证官的信上也有提到我们全家是喜欢去旅游见识的。所以我就附上了我在东南亚旅游的相片,都是贴到文档上排版打出来,在旁边英文标注一下哪是哪。关键是全家五个人的人头都能显示出。另外还有爸妈在东南亚游水的相片,证明他们身体健康。估计也是这个使他们不用去体检了。交资料时有提到,超过六十以上的老人使馆看情况会要求去体检的,1500一个人啊。另外我在上面的信也有提到我单位的情况,也顺便把单位的介绍简单用英文讲一下,证明我现在的工作是多有前途,我是一定会回来的。还有我之前去旅游,在妈网上发布过的,我也截图打出来供参考了,在旁边用简单英文标注了一下。证明我真的热爱旅游。
Travel Plan / 旅行计划
4
这也不是官方要求的。说了好多我是想去探亲和旅游的情况,根据自己大致的旅行日期,我简单做了一个行程计划,就是第一天去哪,第二天去哪,大约会花多少钱。我是做了一个十五天的旅游行程计划的,网上旅行团的行程大把,自己找个抄就行了。因为我也涉及探亲,我就有几天空出来就写跟家人聚餐,聊天那样,什么都没安排。也有标明在加期间就是住亲戚家,没预算到住宿费的。



Inviter

An invitation letter/邀请信
5
也是自己编的,就说加拿大景色多美,知道我们什么时候有空,就叫我们过去看看,顺便大家可以相聚等。叫加拿大的亲友发邮件过来然后打印出来即可。邮件往来中主要是要说明同意邀请你去,信中要明显看出邀请了所有的申请人去,而且是列明邀请时间,你也同意是这个时间去的。
Proof of relationship with the inviterphotos)/与邀请人关系证明相片
6
我只提交了一些相片证明我跟邀请人是认识的有互动往来的,如果有什么出生证、户口薄、公证书等能证明亲属关系的也可提供那些。

7
这个也是自己列个表格写就行了。写明邀请人的住址,里面住多少人,各人之间的关系,出生年月性别等情况。

Singapore/ 
旧护照及新加坡签证
19
我曾经有旧护照,也提交作参考了,新加坡的签证是电子签,护照上面没有,因此我也打出来提交上去供参考。
Copy of I.D. Card / 身份证复印件
20
这个没要求,但也交了
Evidence of assets/资金证明

Bank documentsbank books)/银行文件(存折)

我是工资卡没存折的,所以我就只是自己在网上截图打出来了。把工资那块圈出来,用英文备注了一下。

23
这也是要交原件,还要交个翻译件

四、签证经验小总结

     我身边有很多的亲戚朋友都有在加的关系,因此我的至亲和朋友签加拿大签的人都不少。我集合他们和自己的经验看来,加签,一般的探亲和旅游签证,你的资金能力并不重要。并不是说没钱也可以申请,你起码要证明你的经济是稳定的,足够支付当次旅行费用。但也并不是钱多就会批。只要他感觉你有移民倾向,几好的资金证明也会拒签:
1、这是我第二次加签。第一次是六年前,我的理由是去渡蜜月,也是选探亲签,但有附加陈述主要是渡蜜月。当时和先生两人是白本,没任何出国记录。全副身家存款只有四万多。但我地的行程规划只要三万多。成功批出了。
2、亲友不少是“大老板”的,但只交规定的资料,也给拒了。亲友圈中拒签的人次有七八个了。都是说有移民倾向。

     还有就是不要用中国人的想法去想那些鬼佬签证官,他们的思维真的完全跟中国人是不一样的:
我姑姑和叔叔们当年在我奶奶在加国病重时,想申请探亲去看望,那时候还是到香港面签的,但签证官嘴里居然讲出非常极品的话语:你妈当年选了移民加拿大,就是知道那边会福利好,预计到会跟你们分离的。现在他病重不要紧,我们加国有好好的医疗照顾,不用你们担心。在医院里自然有人照顾的。


    如果在加的直系亲属有足够的财力担保,你符合要求,建议就走“超级探亲签证”。这个比一般的探亲签证区别在,要加拿大的亲属财力雄厚,他自己有连续的足够纳税额证明,而且帮申请人买符合规定保险等。花费会比较大。

     所以总结来说:
1、如果一般情况下,不是跟团,自已签,如果只是交规定的材料,十有八九会拒签。除非你交上去的护照有非常多的发达国家签证记录。要不看不出你如何能证明“没有移民倾向”
2、如果符合规定,加国亲属又有比较雄厚的财力,建议选“超级探亲签证”,这个也会较容易批出。
3、要不就最好表明自己是去旅游的,无论是签旅游签还是探亲签(要陈述一下探亲同时会旅游),对加国景色如何仰慕,做好系列的配套资料证明,自己是会去花钱,对加国有贡献的。而且不要太贪心,行程计划里列一个比较确定的旅行日期(当然,签出后你是否执行又是另一回事了)。这样成功率会大些。
