dinglover as a mother of a four year old, i absolutely feel that nobody can substitute the role of 'mother'. i really care her more than myself, and i cannot imagine any other one could be as caring and as sensitive as me to my own daughter.

dinglover that's the most impressive line for me when i watched Gladiator. yes, children are influenced by their parents in developing their own character. To some extent, they will copy the way you deal with life challenges, the way you treat others. therefore, after...

dinglover Gone with the wind is one of my favorite. After I watched it first time, I rushed to buy a copy of the book, and finished my reading within just 2 or 3 days. The four-hour movie is wonderful and very loyal to the book. I like both.

dinglover If someone just cuts in front of me, I would very calmly, very articulately and without any facial expression ask him back to the end of the line. And if this guy turn a deaf ear to me, I will be vocal enough to shame him, remind him of civility. Actually I...

dinglover I think it depends on whether there is a strong wind blowing. In China. the outside has fresh air and sunshine, even winter sunshine, good for children. But if there is a strong wind, even your kids are kept warm, the wind still will go through their body,...
