an idler

The rain was down-pouring again. 19 days already, and everybody,feeling like fungus, must keep wondering what goes amiss with holy god.

A little comfort for me to take in: I am idle and have no tours to work for. So possibly I could stay at home warm and dry, roam from one room to another between Tv one, to Tv two, and computer for show and music tunes. Happy and a little bored.

March is a season with many interesting days and festivals here, besides women's day on 8th. For example today the fifth is a day for remembrance of a soldier named Lei Feng, who was praised and honored by Mao as a selfless and modest person. He died at age of only 22 years old when he was helping others. And one year later in 1963, Mao began a campaign 'Learn from Comrade Lei Feng' and declared March the fifth an official day 'Learn from Lei Feng Day'. On this day various communities and schools arrange teams to help clean up parks, schools, and other community locations and provide services like fixation of small electronics and hair cuts for the elderly etc.

So where do they perch on such a rainy day?

Another news, partially related was there was a heated discussion from end of Feb about abolishing free bus rides for senior citizen during rush hours.On every workdays during rush hours, buses are always full of commuters, and meanwhile the seniors, for sakes of morning exercises, breakfasts or food shopping tend to fill up buses superb packed. Moreover, the young generation are kinda obliged to follow social code to give those gray hairs their seats, as a manner of chivalry or learning from Lei Feng.
So the discussion is: senior citizens are suggested to be either flexible with their timetables or they have to pay the normal bus fares during peak hours.
