Ellen Ning Zhao’s musing between sense and sensibility
Posted in Uncategorized on Sep 20th, 2008
Months ago my mother-in-law sent us a newspaper from Tübingen. It says in Tübingen, several middle schools start to offer Chinese as foreign language course, and students can take the Chinese exam for Abitur (you can understand it as Germany’s SAT of high school children). I thought the children would need some special staff paper [...]
For readers do not read Chinese: the content here is too difficult for me to write in English or German. Too much Chinese mentality and nostalgia here. Sorry for my clumsiness.
老公去奥国公干， 一个人在德国的家里过中国的春节。 对牢南窗新装的竹簾突然乡情泛滥， 給我们的工作间起了中国名字。 我们住的小街在老城区，一百年前的格局，窄窄的黑石板街道两边是连排的红砖老公寓， 像是两堵高墙。 只有我们工作间的南窗对面有一道窄窄的缝隙， 晴天中午时分投来耀眼的阳光。 眼睛怨电脑屏幕上的内容没法辨认， 心里却是喜欢这温暖和一瞬间满屋子的澄莹通透。 我把工作间叫凿壁斋，一来应景， 二来愿效古人凿壁偷光之孜孜 （太喜欢玩Civilization了， 玩物丧志啊玩物丧志）， 惟愿勤能补拙而已。 如果在中国， 免不了要请人赐字， 然后装裱。 以我现时的处境只能从简。 斋名用550磅颜体打印，直接糊在门上， 足够端庄大方。 新置的文竹兰花等等， 一一起了名字， 贴在花盆上。 [...]

Introduction
Before Dirk knew me, he already got a few books about/on the Chinese language from Singapore, just for fun. I read the Chinese language books he collected and didn’t really feel comfortable with them. They are either overwhelmingly difficult for foreigners from lesson one or not really efficient enough. Since my job is not teaching [...]
