我最喜欢契诃夫的《吻》（Поцелуй，1887）的地方在于，它说明了爱如何扭曲我们的意识，培养出奇特的希望。

它还巧妙地描绘了大多数人最终如何从浪漫的幻想中“清醒”过来。

《日本的教育制度》：关于日本教育的一些想考

梅丽莎：日本的教育制度不是比大多数国家的更好吗?

廖：这样的问题能用简单的"是"或"否"来回答吗?

蒂姆：也许我们需要问更深层次的问题，比如"对谁更好?"以及"谁应该评判一个制度的优劣?"

悟：（叹气）我确信我们的教育制度功能失调。然而，也许它反映了整个社会的状况。

More short conversations and a random thought

What I like most about Chekov's "The Kiss" (Поцелуй, 1887) is the way it illustrates how love skews our awareness, nurturing fanciful hopes.
It also skillfully portrays how most people eventually "sober up" from their romantic illusions.

The Japanese educational system: Some thoughts about education in Japan.

Melissa: Isn't Japan's educational system better than that of most countries?

Liao: Is a simple 'yes' and 'no' answer to such a question possible?

Tim: Perhaps we need to be asking deeper questions, asking "better for whom?" and "Who should judge the merits of a system?"

Satoru: (sighing) I am convinced our educational system is dysfunctional.
However, perhaps it mirrors socity as a whole.

Keywords: educational systems, comparative education, evaluating educational systems, merits and demerits of Japanese education.
