投名状和刺马案

投名状

The movie is storied based on the case below. The whole story is simple and straightforward about 3 brothers (Jet Li, Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro) and one woman(Jinlei Xu) struggles in the battles of military and politics. The movie is not about the life of ancient empire, and is real.

刺马案

晚清政治腐败,社会动荡,五花八门的事层出不尽。这种“山雨欲来风满楼”的态势,预示着清朝统治行将覆灭。 在同治九年,又发生了两江总督、封疆大吏马心仪被刺的要案,真是朝野震惊,举国倾注。事情发生在同治九年七月二十六日上午,马心仪校场阅兵完毕,返回督署的路上,为刺客张文祥所杀。刺客并不逃走,高喊:“刺客是我张文祥!”让那班怕死的卫士捉拿。这个案子发生后,清廷十分惊恐,知道此案涉及封疆大臣的内幕亵闻,于脸面上大不光彩。因此,只能掩盖矛盾,粉饰门面。慈禧太后为了维系她摇摇欲坠的统治,亲自出面处理此案。把正在天津处理教案的大员曾国藩,调来审理这个案件。又在曾国藩出发前夕,召见了他,面授机宜,说“马心仪办事很好”,为此案定了调子。这还不放心,一周之内,又连连派出大员参与审案。刑部尚书郑敦谨,也奉旨与曾国藩同审。经过一番紧锣密鼓,终于为张文祥定了一个“漏网发逆”和“复通海盗”的罪名,将张文祥处决,剜了张文祥的心,去祭奠这位马心仪,又厚厚的于以抚恤。一句话,马心仪是一个好官,张文祥是一个发逆。 然而,事情的真象总是难以隐瞒的,纸包不住火。大量的野史、笔记、小说、戏曲,却不顾官方史家的曲笔,将马心仪被刺原委,一一公诸于众。原来,马心仪之所以官运亨通,靠的是假报军功,又结纳权贵才得来的。他在所谓的“剿匪”战斗中,原本是一个败军之将。被俘以后,又没有骨气,与“匪首”义结金兰,成了拜把兄弟。再由他的把兄弟导演一幕马心仪收复失地的闹剧,欺瞒了朝廷,以至爬上封疆大吏的宝座。飞黄腾达以后,那些把兄弟原以为可以攀附于他,千里迢迢来投靠。马心仪又奸占了把兄弟的妻室,诱杀了把兄弟。张文祥因偶然的原因逃脱他的魔掌,才弄出这一出刺马的大案来。由此可见,清廷所依重的大臣,渔色负友,形同禽兽。凡此种种,正是清廷官场腐败的缩影,无怪慈禧太后煞费苦心,一定要把真象掩盖起来。

Crocs sandals

Suddenly one special looking sandals get popular. The brand is Crocs. It even opens a brand store at Marina Square. The design idea is from Dutch wooden shoes, I guess. A pair of Crocs sandals is sold at around SGD 50. The price is justified for what it is made of - Croslite. Based on Crocs website, "Croslite™, a proprietary Closed Cell Resin (PCCR) which is NOT plastic NOR rubber. Croslite™ is closed-cell in nature and anti-microbial, which virtually eliminates odor. it is an extraordinary impact absorbing resin material developed for maximum cushioning. its closed cell properties resist odor, inhibits bacterial and fungal growth and are non toxic. this versatile material can be worn next to skin and be cleaned with just soap and water." However, it really looks like made of plastic or rubber, and the design is unique. Replica comes. they are sold at SGD 20, SGD 10, SGD 5 depending on quality.

Singapore Girl Sex Clip Posted Online

A couple days ago, a sex video clip about a female Chinese graduate student Wang Ting Ting (王婷婷) was posted on the internet. Just as it is about to cool down, another sex video clip pops. It is a sex clip of a Singapore Nanyang Polytechnic student . The video clip was stored on her cell phone. Someone stole it and posted the video clip on the Internet. This is a breaking news. It is even reported on major Singapore and Malaysia newspapers. Now we have so many cool gadgets. It is a breeze to shoot photos/videos, and share them on the internet. Everyone, even dog, is on the internet waiting for breaking news. Be careful when you do something secret or stupid. It may appear all over the world, live!

No smoking sign

Watch out this sign before you light the cigarette up. SGD 1000 fine! However, I wonder if someone had really paid so much for violation.

Prostitutes in Singapore

Singapore is very realistic about this issue. Prostitution is legal. The famous red light zone is Geylang area. I heard Hong Kong officials are considering to legalize this business in HK also. Singaporeans are not allow to work as prostitute. Maybe also SPR. The prostitutes are mainly foreign workers from poor countries in SEA area, such as Indonesia, Thailand, India, Malaysia, not from China. They come under special 2-year working pass, and must pass the health exam, yes, to prevent STD such as HIV, AIDS and so on. The brothels are mixed with normal resident houses. The brothel's house number is red lighted. The price is ranged from SGD 50 to SGD 200. Illegal sex workers are also around, and in some massage clinics. A very recent fatal case and newly effective government policy make a special social group - Chinese accompanying mom for studying kids a hot media buzz again.
