What would you like to change in your culture?
Last night, I was asked the question in the title while chatting. I took a little time and then answered as follows:
If I could, I want to change the mindset of looking up to men and down on women among generations. Things have changed a lot in the past 100 years. But still, in many families in China, the grandparents and parents prefer boys to girls.
My parents have three children: my elder sister, me and my younger brother. When I was a kid, my mother always said that she treated the three of us equally. But, she herself was the only person who believed it. I bought my father's first smart phone but what he was pround of was the phone shell that my brother bought for him.
I used to be very sad and angry about those kind of situations. My sister is the first child in the family. Her situation was a little better, but not by much. She once told me she would never be the parent like our parents. But now, as a mother of two kids, she acts exactly like my mother. Since my nephew was born, my niece never appear on her social media.
That's a terrible thing. I want to change it, but I feel powerless.

Was habe ich gestern gemacht?
Gestern war ein erfolgreiches Tag! Zuerst habe ich die erste Folge von der siebten Staffel der "Black Mirror" angeschaut und es war wirklich geil! Danach habe ich eine Joggingrunde gemacht. Es hat mir viel Spaß gemacht. Während meines Laufs habe ich gleichzeitig eine Folge von "Easy German Podcast" angehört. Sie haben über die beste Zeit im Leben unterhalten. Nach dem Duschen habe ich ein Buch für 80 Minuten gelesen und danach habe ich eingeschlafen.

「ハリーポッター」の小説
今日は「ハリーポッター」の小説について話したいと思います。僕はハリーポッターとともに成長しました。キャラクターに同じ歳です。この小説、二回読んだことがあります。一回目はフランス語で読みましたが、二回目は英語で読みました。外語で本を読むのは難しいですが、言語を練習ために役に立つ経験です。たぶん将来には日本語で読んでなれます。それができればとてもうれしいですが、まだ上手ではありませんね。
どうしてこの小説を読むことはいいだと思っていますか？第一に、人気な小説です。理由は映画だけではありません。映画は、たぶん評判の要因だと思いますが、小説はとてもすごいですからも人気があります。映画はとてもおすすめですが、ハリーポッターの世界が好きなら、小説は映画より詳しくて、多い新しいキャラクターがいますよ。ですから、小説もとてもおすすめです。読むながら、他の世界にいますよ。現在の問題はなくなります。この気持ち、とても楽しいですね。そして、この小説が長いですから、時間がかかります。でもそれが悪いことではありません、逆に、時間がかかったら、いいことだと思います。本当に現実の世界から脱走できれば、いいことですね！

Il playoff di pallacanestro a New York
Stasera ho guardato la partita playoff di pallacanestro fra i New York Knicks e i Detroit Pistons. Sono una tifosa dei Knicks perché ho sempre vissuto a New York. I Knicks hanno perso tutta la partita, ma sono riusciti a pareggiare verso la fine. Purtroppo hanno perso all'ultimo minuto. Hanno già vinto una partita nelle serie, quindi dovranno vincere altre tre più partite per avanzare al secondo turno.

“Fruits”
When I was a child in the countryside, I never saw fruits such as apples, bananas, mangoes, oranges.
Families in my village had vegetable gardens, where villagers planted Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, radishes. We treated the tomatoes and radishes as our “fruits”, as well as raw sweet potatoes.
We could eat watermelons as they were a local melon with which villagers could make some money.
When I was in the first or second year of middle school, my oldest brother came home from Shanghai, where he served as an officer in the army. He brought some apples to my family—it was the first time I had ever eaten apples.
After I started working in cities, all kinds of fruits were easy to get in markets, but my salary was too little to buy those expensive fruits.
In the past several years, my salary has increased. I have enough money to afford fruits, but somehow I no longer want to eat them.

Crops Planted In My Village
The crops planted in my village were wheat, corn, Chinese sorghum, soybeans, cotton, mung beans, sweet potatoes and garden peas.
Wheat was planted in the early winter and harvested at the end of May the next year. When it was the season of harvesting wheat, the weather was pretty good because this was at the end of spring and the beginning of summer.
In order to harvest wheat, people would make a “threshing ground”, an even area for threshing wheat without any gaps on the ground. It was also the place where we children liked to play and sleep at night.
Corn was planted at the beginning of summer-after harvesting wheat, and was harvested in autumn. Corn stalks were sweet, so eating the corn stalks was an enjoyable activity for us kids.
Chinese sorghum was very tall-it was taller than any human. We were scared whenever we passed by a field of Chinese sorghum as we were afraid that some bad guys would come out to hurt us.
During the growth of the sorghum, farmers needed to go inside the sorghum field to strip its old leaves. It was very hot inside the fields, so this kind of farm work was extremely tough.
There were two times for planting sweet potatoes: spring and early summer, but the potatoes were both harvested in autumn, just at different times.
After the sweet potatoes were harvested, we children liked to go to the fields to dig up the remaining sweet potatoes. We would bake the potatoes on the field-not only for fun, but also for satisfying our hunger.
People planted cotton in spring, but I was sure that it was harvested in autumn. One thing we children were excited about was watching adults capture hares in the cotton fields, where hares liked to stay the most.
Soybeans were planted after harvesting wheat and were also harvested in autumn. There was an insect that lived by eating soybean leaves called katydid. People liked to capture it and put it in a cage made of sorghum stems to play with.
I’ve never had a chance to keep a katydid, but I did play “torch-waving”-a game of waving a bundle of burning soybean straw at night, and eat roasted soybeans in the field.
Well, it seems that this is enough for this journal. Bye for now and see you guys soon.

Gute Neuigkeiten von meiner Freundinnen
Ich bin heute mit meiner Freundinnen spazieren gegangen.
Ich habe erfahren, dass sie nach 6 Monaten endlich eine Wohnung gefunden hat.
Außerdem hat sie ein Gewinnspiel gewonnen und she bekommt einen Projektor und ein Samsung Tablet.
Was für ein Glück sie hat!
Auch hat sie in letzter Zeit eine deutsche Prüfung bestanden.
Ich freue mich so für sie, weil ich kenne dass, sie eine lange schwierige Zeit überstanden hat.
Es gibt ein Sprichwort in meiner Muttersprache.
"止まない雨はない"
Das bedeutet "Kein Regen dauert ewig.“
Man kann auch sagen: „Nach dem Regen scheint die Sonne.
Ich finde dieses Sprichwort sehr schön.

Berlin
Berlin ist viel anders als die kleine Dorf wo ich wohne. Dieses Stadt ist nie ruhig, aber das find ich spannend. Jedes Abend gehe ich für eine kurze Spaziergang and ich beobachte die Straßen. Im Berlin es gibt es viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten aber jetzt habe ich nicht alle gesehen. Alle Gebäude sind sehr schön und ich finde die deutsche Architektur total prima. Es gibt es viele kleine Läden, zum Beispiel einen Souvenirladen und einen Geschäft mit arabisches Kaffee.
