    On 《感动中国》

    感动中国今年是第三届了吧,似乎每一年都有一些不令人满意的地方。以往的我没怎么关注过,今年算是看了一遍,觉得这个活动办的还是不尽如人意。
     
    评选出来的十个个人或集体中的大多数的事迹还是颇令人感动的,尤其是参加过长征的那些老红军,看到他们时脑海中浮现出的长征的壮观景象确实让人感动。
     
    还有一个叫王百姓的爆破专家,拿着普警察的待遇,做的却是比普通警察危险百倍的拆爆工作,十年中共计拆除各类炸弹一万八千余枚。其中一万五千多次与死神擦肩而过,这也着实不能不让人感动。
     
    但是叶笃正院士的入选却让我产生了质疑。
    我质疑不是因为叶老的成就不足以让人佩服,而是:他这种德高望重的科学家是《感动中国》应该关注的对象吗?
    叶老的工作确实让人振奋,在世界上给中国人挣足了面子,但是他已经收到了包括国家最高等级的国家自然科学奖的一等奖在内的不少奖励,这已经是对他工作的最高肯定,那么,让他入选感动中国还有什么意义呢?
     
    我觉得感动中国的关注对象应该是那些默默无闻的普通百姓,像谢延信林秀贞这样的普通人,而不是杨利伟,叶笃正这样功成名就的人物。
     
    这些普通百姓在平凡的生活中做出了不平凡的事,重要的是:他们的作为没有受到什么大的奖励(像国家自然科学奖这样的),这样的人让我感动。
     
    而像叶老这样的人物只能让我觉得敬佩(对杨利伟则连敬佩都谈不上),并无丝毫感动:有什么值得感动的呢?他们做的是自己的本职工作,并已经受到过了不小的嘉奖,这有什么值得感动的?起码我不觉得。
     
    也许有些偏激,但却为我的真情实感。

    People Change ...

    "Everything was changing when I turn around." --- <Mobile>
     
    I don't know why she treat me like that, and she wouldn't tell me the reason either.
     
    Did she want me to guess? But I'm not in that mood.
     
    Hiding from each other is quite stupid.
     
    Hope she can get things straight one day, ASAP.

    How come I never felt this bored on Spring Festivals before ?

    I don't know, maybe.

    Keep Walking Slowly ...

    The study of Nutch&Hadoop has drawn half of the circle, but it already took too much of me :(
     
    I finally got my Nutch distribution being able to perform distribute crawl, but I'm still unsure about my modification of the distribution, especially the start-mapred.sh and the start-dfs.sh. But they don't seem to trouble me too much since, so I guess I just wait and see.
     
    My next job is to figure out the distribute search, which may be easier compared with crawl, but only maybe.
     
    Lin told me to hand in an technique report on Nutch and also a presentation, so I guess I have to make everything cleaer enough for everybody to understand.
     
    Big job, but I think I can be  bigger :)

    Back Here Again :)

    I moved my blog to blogcn several days ago when I thought maybe they have better network quality.
     
    But soon they proved me wrong :(
     
    So I'm back here again
