If elected president, Ma has promised annual growth rates of six percent, similar to annual figures during the decade before the DPP took power, and up from the currently estimated rate of 4.5 percent.

'Sovreign states'
A referendum backed by Chen that would authorise seeking UN membership as "Taiwan" rather than under the island's legal name, Republic of China, has irked both China and the US, Taiwan's most powerful ally.
Chen has called on the electorate to vote on two referendums supporting
He says the poll is is necessary to show the world that Taiwanese object to
"We should speak out loud and tell the international community that Taiwan and the People's Republic of China are two sovereign states independent of each other," he said recently, arguing that "Taiwan's future should be determined by Taiwan's 23 million people."
Chen's remarks were made in an apparent attempt to prevent a possible failure of the referendums, which require the participation of at least 50 per cent, or 8.7 million, of the electorate and the support of more than 50 per cent of participating voters in order to be passed.
The referendums were initiated respectively by the DPP and the KMT.
The DPP's version advocates joining the UN under the name Taiwan, while the KMT's initiative calls for regaining UN membership under the country's official title, the Republic of China, or any other "pragmatic" name.
Unlike the DPP, which is urging the electorate to support both referendums, the KMT is calling for a boycott of the DPP-backed referendum, a move seen likely to increase the chances of failure of both.
The irony of the referendum issue is that whichever way the vote goes, China's veto-wielding power at the UN means

stop
Now I am typing and crying, and I do not know what I really can do for my life and future. I keep doing what I believe since I had touched with critical theory. I do sacrifice what I really want, but I just cannot get a good environment to do my research. Suddenly, I notice that when I am struggling with this powerful system, my mother is waiting for me at somewhere. However, every time I just only let her feel disappointed. She does not ask me do anything for her, and I never do anything for my family and society. Now, I don’t even have any courage and ability to continue my studying.
Until now I still cannot stop my tears coming out. I try to finding something that might help me feel better. So I got this. However, it does not work.
Shit

Once
I might to go back the ordinary status; actually, I am thinking I should do something. Even through I can escape from the structure oppressing, my family cannot. I always remember, “Life will find the road”, and I told that to my friends and students. Additionally, I often use the sentence “ Do what you should do while you are seventeen. You just have seventeen once”.
I forgot that I also just have once.

I hope I can stop struggle
Even in the Taiwan or USA, all institutes follow same engagement to translate an alien brain to you. Because you need to get a potion in this extraordinary system, you need to follow it.
Can I just stop it? Obviously, I cannot. Therefore, all I can do is try to quit. I am sorry and I do not have time to play with you again. Bye…………………………….
I need to go, and I hope one day I will shine on
you are as dirty as them.
Please don't cry
You know I'm leaving here tonight
Before I go I want you to know
That there will always be a light
And if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya
So many times I planned
To be much more than who I am
And if I let you down
I will follow you 'round until you understand
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya, oh ya
When the days all feel the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
And I will shine on, for everyone
So please don't cry
Although I leave you here this night
Where I go how far I don't know
But I will always be your light
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away, ya, oh ya
When the days all seem the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
Shine on, for everyone
When the stars all look the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
Shine on, for everyone
Finding your true color
Andrew told me, “just because Robert is Robert, and he can claim what he want to do. such as....I fuck , I fish, I do what I wish."
I might to think about what is my real aim to get my Ph D. for some reason, I give up my normal life. I do not have any entertainments. I do not make money and do what I wish. So, in Robert and Andrew's definitions, I lose my true color already.

Bureaucracies
According to my opinion, that is a term without any responsibility and try to escape their duty.
It is obviously that we need institute do something for us, and that the meaning for the existent of these bureaucracies.
I am so angry about that.

What am I doing?
Thank you giving me chance to know how disgusting the academic is, and how tiny I am? Tomorrow, even I never wake up again. The world will still work, and why I need to present as I am the One, the Neo?
