In China, when a software programmer or developer just turned 30 years old, a sharp question he or she will be facing: “Are you ready to change?”. It implicates that if you don’t prepare to change your roles in work, for example, not longer revel in programming, you will lose more promotion opportunities in the future, even be eliminated.

Whether you like or not, it is not good idea to be engaged in programming as a technologist all your life. How you make your choice like a sharpened sword hanging directly above everyone’s head.

The deep cause, it is a ultimate goal for every intellectual that become a official or a manger who has power, even a bit, in Confucian societies, I think.

I have turned 30 years old, but I am at a loss what to do next.

As I said before, it seems that the age of mass inflation is coming in China. I received an SMS message yesterday, and the main contents are as following.

The feeling was just like IBM’s commercial : Stop Talking, Start Doing

Wang Mengmeng(nickname: Mengmeng), a 5-year-old little girl, who was educated at Yulong Kindergarten(Chinese:育龙幼儿园), a local nursery school in Huilongguan.

Last June, she cried and told her mom that teacher hit her, but the nursery denied. Finally, the two sides took the dispute to court.

As a result, Wang Mengmeng’s mother got the final judgement on Oct 13th this year, according to a report by Beijing Times(Chinese:京华时报). She won the case.

Competition between Chinese Internet giants, Tencent QQ(Chinese:腾讯 QQ) and Qihoo 360 (Chinese:奇虎 360) have signed a compromise agreement on Wednesday, after the authority intervened in the dispute.

Meanwhile, Qihoo 360, one of China’s top anti-virus companies and which has 300 million users, claimed that two companies’ products can now run on the same computers, following intervention from three government ministries.

The conflict began two months ago when Qihoo 360 alleged that Tencent QQ was scanning the private data of its more than 600 million users, and launch a software that is claimed to block plug-ins that could cause such the privacy leaks. Tencent QQ rejected that allegation and announced that its QQ users would have to uninstall software from 360 before being allowed to use its instant message client.

It’s possible because of business strategy that prompted Qihoo to target Tencent. Despite that online users in China dislike Tencent is well known, this time Qihoo’s counterattack is not good idea, I think.

Lack of independent’s conclusions, Qihoo’s action is akin to not only as a athlete, but also a referee.

A 27-year-old woman surnamed Zhang mistook the accelerator for the brake while driving toward Hexie Homeland(Chinese：和谐家园), Huilongguan, Changping district on July 14, and hit a teacher who was waiting at the side of the road for bus, unfortunately, the victim died at the scene.

But it is staggering that she claimed she was a pregnant in an attempt to escape justice and gain sympathy, the end result is she has been proved to be lying and will face trail.

After the accident, it was proved that the victim has a 3-month-old baby in home.

She was tried by Changping district court, YET.com(Chinese:北青网) reported on Nov 10. She admited all accusations, but the case was not adjudged on the court.

Not only house, but also vegetable prices are rocketing up.

If China has a public poll for the Chinese character similar to Japanese Kanji character selection activities(Japanese:今年の漢字) hold every year in Japan, I will select “Price rises”(Chinese:涨) in this year.

The age of mass inflation is coming, I feel deeply.

Kan xuemei, a common citizen discovered a abandoned baby who did not wear anything in a cardboard box on Oct 22, according to hlgnet.com(Chinese:回龙观社区网) on Wednesday.

The infant was sent to Huilongguan Hospital(Chinese:回龙观医院), and subjected to a range of medical checks. Fortunately，the baby was healthy.

It is said that at least 10 people want to adopt the premature baby since news of it surfaced on the Internet.

But according to China’s Adoption Law, the baby firstly will be sent to a welfare house after a period of observation.
