Life / The first Polish movie I watched (I am Chinese). [24]

Yesterday,i went shopping in one of the suppermarkets,when i passed the electrical appliances department,there was showing a cartoon in the television which is on sale.it is a very old french cartoon "Barbapapa"! so i standed there and watched for about half hour ^_^

In deeply memories of chinese children's,we know well about this french cartoon-Barbapapa,and other Czechic cartoon-The Mole.

How about Polish cartoon???

Life / Poles in Poland: How did you learn your English? [60]


However studying,workin or living abroad isn't a easy thing for common chinese people,if we cost so much to stay at second country but can't learn and handle their language,then what is the good way to study english in this world? :(


Yes,i also agree,but which is the degree to judge our english is good or poor? i think my english is poor,i don't dare to communicate with foreigner,i don't find enough words to express myself,i don't speak english names of many things around me.but many clients would say:"christy,your english is really good!"of course,it is on the MSN or they read my english emails.when they meet me or call me,wow~~~,it is awful!!!

Anyway,i guess i'm not a genius in studying language,then,no way,remember the words and view english news one step by step! A slow sparrow should make an early start! christy has to become a slow sparrow......

I don't think you would write bad language here,hehehe......


Different standpoints will reach different evaluations,since being chinese,we are hard to take a full judgement for chairman Mao's contribution and fault.but whatever he have done,it doesn't influence his greatness in China history.

There must be some part of people in west insult leaders of socialist states with certain purposes,China also has people revolt against capitalist countries,but existence has its reason. i think most of people in the world will view history objectively,so the whole human being gets it developments.

Please keep this thread on topic.

The biggest problem for me is my listening comprehension and oral.i guess it is also a difficulty for most of Chinese :(

Calligraphy is regareded in china as the art of writing,beautiful handwriting with brush, or study of the rule and techniques of this art.

As a traditional art, calligraphy occupies the same position as painting in the history of Chinese art.

In China, many people can write a good hand but only a few of them could become calligrapher. It takes paintaking effort and years of assidicous practice to qualify oneself as an artist in this field. One of the great masters in calligraphy in chinese history is WangXiZhi, he has exerted profound influence on Chinese calligraphers and scholars.

I'm a chinese,so you know,english is my second language.although i studied english for about 9 years.now,i still don't communicate fluently with foreign people :(

How about talking some good ideas? he he he......

Yes,you are right! Japan and Korea was mostly influenced by China in history,especially in Tang dynasty and Song dynasty periods.but i personally think these two countries developed some of chinese cultures well and formed their own particular cultures.like as dragon boat sacrifice of Korea,and Sado and Kimono and so on of Japan,especailly Chinese characters,but when you talk about tea-making,Japan will firstly come to your mind!!!

About Japanese food,it is more lite and exquisite than chinese dishes,not so many oil and salt,very good for health,so most japanese people have a longer lives! longevity country!

My god! why there are always some people insist marathon debates???i didn't claim "pierogi" origins from China at all! and i didn't claim dumpling is first invented by chinese.i only describe the culture when chinese eat jiaozi!

I knew "pierogi" is a traditional dish of Poland from this forum,and polish friends taught me how to cook it.i only want to know something interesting and relax from it!!! why you relate so many things with our China! (even including our government block google,tell me,what the relationship about it? even


Do you understand well about each chinese people?

If you don't like China and chinese,as you like!

Food / Does Polish pierogi also have its story of origin? [43]

But what i found in google is:
Pierogi is a very traditional Polish dish eaten by everyone. Although often described as a stuffed dumpling, this speciality is more akin to Italian Ravioli. Indeed, it is thought that they were introduced to Polish cuisine about 500 years ago by Queen Bonna who was Italian.

Maybe you are right,the word pierogi has 3000~5000 years history,but i don't think you are right to compare one word with one food!


About the culture,i always think so: nationality's culture also belongs to the world's! when one nationality creates a new civilization,it must influence the whole world.then the whole humen race get development.no matter China,Poland,American,UK,Germany,Austrilia......or African countries.no matter developed,developing or poor countries at present,each one has its own important role in historical development of human being.

Every country has its sense of pride about its own culture,we respect other countries' cultures,so we are here and discuss everything objectively.i welcome all the friends to show their opinions in my threads,but please pay attention phraseology and not to hurt other people's culture pride!!!

but in my impression,i think poes are optimistic.why different?because i don't understand poland?

I have one polish client bought from me in last year,yes, he felt a little serious,but couldn't have relationship with "miserable",not at all!

Maybe it was just for cinematic effects!

King Sobieski:

I think you are very right,there are so many chinese people transmigrate,and too many chinese students are studying in different countries,chinese culture is influencing the world,meanwhile,accepting different cultures from the world.yesterday,a USA friend told me he was born in 1962,he is a tiger! old China hand too ^_^you see,he not only introduced his age,but also his animal sign,he he he......

And i viewed the blog about"Hutong dumpling bar",very nice,especially the its introduction,splendid!but i also noticed the prices,how expensive! (compare with domestic prices),similarly,foreign restaurants in China are also expensive,he he he......


In Melbourne,present's tempreture is 6C°~14C°,should be comfortable! Koala should be fine too!
Really?the chinese sources show eucalyptus leaves are exclusive food Koala eats each day,don't eat anything other and don't drink water,they sleep for 18~22 hours.in Guangzhou (canton),there are 6 koalas,they are always sleeping,zzzzzz......vey very very lovely!!!


I only know they mix flour,milk,eggs to make dough in Poland,the proportion should be flour:milk=2:1.this isn't my experience,i searched in the web,he he he......but i know in order to strong the dough's toughness.you'd better cover preservative film or wet cloth on the dough for about 30 minutes,it can make the pierogi more delicious.

Everything of this world is developping rapidly,if we don't learn new knowledge,then we shall be outdated,studying can make us keep young and nimble,but the most important is curiosity,if you highly want to know "why it appears?" "why it is?""how can you do?"etc,the strong curiosity will drive you to search the answers.

I'm very curious about why you are familiar with chinese things,so i checked their knowledge on web.ahahaha.......


Wow~!you are very terrific!all the clients i met (except korean) can't use chopsticks,i remembered last time,our Pakistan client visited our company,he wanted to learn how to use chopsticks,but failed,he told me:"christy,it is too difficult for foreigner :( ,i must give up."he had no way,then i rushed into the near supermarket and bought fork&spoon for him.

So you are an old China hand!!!

Are you in Guangxi now???you act so fast!!!


Are you Polish? :( see following !

In all the countries of eastern europe,Poland is the second important country,first is Russia,Polish films have a long history.in 1896,Krakow,Warsaw and Lodz these three cities held the earliest public movie show,and there appeared the first special cinemas.in 1902,the first film studio was founded,in 1908,the first real polish festure film was published.

Unfortunately, because of being occupied by Geman Nazi during world war 2,polish film industry stooped developping.but from 1957~1961,polish film industry grew rapidly,many famous films were come out,and appeared many prefessional directors.

Now,under the conditions of Hollywood films' attack,polish film industry as a nationality industry is being threated.it is also similarly happenning in China,our local film industry also make chinese be embarrassed,"Hua Mu lan"," kung Fu Panda" etc chinese characteristic are used by Hollywood,it is a pity for China.

Hope Polish young people could pay more attention on your own movies,really!

News / What Poland thinks about China [27]


No,Poland was carved up by Prussia,Tsar Russia and Austria for 3 times:

(1)in 1772,basing on the treatypact signed by above three countries in Petersburg,Poland lost 35% territory and 33% population.
(2)in 1793,because of the second treaty,poland became a small country with 200,000 sq.km and 4000,000 population.
(3)in 1795,the third treaty made Poland destroyed,and since this time,Poland disappeared from European map for long about 123 years.
Until October of 1918,poland got independent again.

Also during world war 2,Poland was occupied by Geman Nazi till 1944,when new Poland was founded.

From Polish history,we can see polish people are brave,tough nationality,it isn't easy for them to get today's peace and prosperity.


i don't think it has special meaning.in China,when a girl will be married,her mother or her husband's mother will give she some jewelry as present,hoping these jewelry could bring good luck to bride,the jewelry maybe bought newly,or handed down from their ancestors.

because of the age,the design isn't popular or stop in certain period.

So i think those old women you saw in China,because they have similar age,then their jewelry are the same style.

In China,people like to buy gold jewelry for children and old people,for children,generally longevity lock (one necklace made by gold or silver),it is the elderships wish their kid can grow up restfully.for old women,their children like buy earbob,bracelet and ring for them,this is one of the ways to respect mother,because in China,women give birth and bring up the children,and do housework for whole life,when the children grow up,they become older and older,all the young people hope their father and mother can live longer and keep healthy.

Of course,maybe in special places of China,there is certain custom to adorn same jewelry,but i think it is interrelated with good luck and best wishes of good health and a long life.i think so!

i was born in south of China,but now working in the north,in my hometown,when our spring festival coming,every family will make sausage.in order to make the sausage become more delicious,my father always combusts peanut shells to smoke the sausages.when i was studying in my university,my father would prepare more,then when i went to university,he would cook them in advance and packed them carefully and put in my luggage.

Now,i wasn't go home to eat dishes cooked by my father,longing......maybe in this year,i must come back to home for all the world!!!

For my papa,he will steam or boil them,then slice,then saute with green pepper.in this city i living,they will eat slice after steam or boil.

So how about talking something about polish "Kielbasa" (kielbasa=sausage?) how to make them? (100% polish style) and how to cook them?

Seriously,i just saw your comments about our motherland,very brilliant! i didn't hehehe this time,but shed tears,what you wrote is moving!

Yesterday is sunday,i didn't work,so i wanted to cook pancake as the way of what you taught me here.but i have no saucepan in my home,then i used wok.i prepared flour,eggs,chopped meat.first step is making dough,problem happened:how much flour and water should i mix??? the quantity i originally cook was just for myself,so i added two cups of flour and one cup water,but it seemed a little stiff,one cup of water more,then a little dilute,then a little more flour,more water......when i mixed the dough,the quantity became enough for three people :( it was really not easy for me!

Second step was frying,i put the dough in the wok,and whirled my wok to spread the dough and made it into one pancake,but its thickness was difficult to control,the result was,it was thick in the center of the pancake and thin at the edges :(

Fortunately,they were not very hard to eat,but because i cooked 5 pieces of pancakes,then i just ate them for lunch and dinner,there are still 2 pieces in my refrigerator!although they aren't very very delicious,but it is first time i fry pancake and wasting foodstuffs is inglorious ,so i must take them as tonight dinner,hehehehehehe......
