Reference translation

Bhutan did not introduce TV until 1999, and is the last country that is open to TV and the Internet. Its mobile phone and Internet penetrations are as low as 30% and 5% respectively, almost out of tune with the modernized world. Now that the majority of its people have no mobile phones and no access to the Internet, they have little odds of being phubbers or night persons. While the other countries are striving desperately to develop economy and boost GDP at all costs, what Bhutan pursues is GNH (Gross National Happiness). They are willing to take advantage of modern technology, but would do it at their own pace, according to their own needs and at their own proper time. Although likewise thirsting for economic prosperity, Bhutan refuses to realize it at the price of their cherished tradition and culture.

Cons of liberal education: A. Many students would reject the appeal of pursuing liberal education, for they believe that: 1) In an increasingly specialized world you must concentrate on a single area and become an expert in that field, forsaking all other subjects. 2) “Liberal arts” is like something you pursue if you don’t have a real major. 3) Liberal arts courses should be got out of the way, and the advisors should help students check off those requirements. 4) Schools exist only to get you the right certificate or degree, not to help you develop as a creative, critically intelligent, compassionate, and concerned human being. B. Many professors and deans also don’t understand why students should take all those general education requirements because they know very little about what the whole tradition of liberal education entails. C. Some influential policy-makers in Washington, D.C. dismiss liberal education as meaningless for they hold that: 1) The value of education is to prepare for a job. 2) The aim of higher learning is to train someone to do a task that would make them money. Pros of liberal education: Our most creative and productive subjects found great value in general and liberal education because: 1) It enables students to encounter a vast range of ideas and creations, so that they can recognize good ideas when meeting them. 2) It helps students to engage and stimulate their minds, and understand education as a developmental process in which they sought to grow the power of their minds.

Reference translation

The imperial examination system in China began to be put into practice in the Sui Dynasty and lasted more than 1,300 years. In ancient China, class consciousness was distinct and people from lower classes had little chance to gain a position in the official court. But once the imperial examination system was introduced, scholars from poor families had opportunities to take the government exams, which enabled them to bring honor to their families. Such a talent-selection system had great impact not only on the politics, economy, education, cultural concepts and social customs in Chinese feudal society, but also on the education systems of such neighboring countries as Japan, Korea and Vietnam. To some extent, China’s current education system has selectively inherited some advantages from the imperial examination system.

Reference translation

As a manager/an administrative officer, I have worked in four enterprises well known for their great passion and creativity. Rarely do I assign tasks for my employees in a top-down manner. I prefer to place myself on an equal footing with my employees, regarding myself as one to motivate, coordinate or communicate with them, rather than one to lead, monitor or command. The 21st century has set up a higher and more comprehensive standard for managers. Turning from the traditional role of the manager to a successful leader, we need to create an environment filled with passion and innovation for all employees. In this sense, rather than a method or technique, leadership is actually a unique art.

在过去20年的专题研究和指导工作中，我见过很多人，他们或是觉得壮志未酬，或是不堪重负，或是停滞不前，原因就在于他们在生活的某一个或多个领域里没有积极努力。他们没有让领导能力在生活的各个领域都开花结果，包括工作、家庭、社区及他们自身（思想、身体和精神）。当然，我们所承担的不同角色间总存在一些矛盾冲突，但和通常理解不同的是，我们并没有理由认为这是一个零和游戏。在四个领域都成为领导者，有出色表现，实现我所说的“四赢”，不舍此求彼，而寻求它们之间的契合点与价值，这才是更明智的做法。

Traditional Chinese painting constitutes a unique school of fine art, a school that is distinctly different from any other fine art schools in the world, either in style or in techniques. Traditional Japanese fine art may be the only exception, but there is no doubt that it is heavily influenced by Chinese culture. No other traditional Chinese painting is better known than ink and wash painting. The Chinese do paintings with brushes, dipping their brushes in ink or paint and then skillfully wielding them on the paper. Painters produce pictures with lines and dots — some heavy, some light, some deep, and some pale. In the hands of an outstanding painter, brushes and ink can be highly expressive. Because of this, they are not only treated as tools for drawing pictures, but also as a symbol of artistic pursuit.
