		<description><![CDATA[In my first a few years in Canada, I admired the celebration of Christmas. The Christmas trees, Santa Claus, reindeer, gifts, turkey dinner, carols, church services, Christmas-themed movies, Christmas songs. There was a system in this celebration! In comparison, the Chinese New Year celebration seemed haphazard. There were no dedicated songs, no celebrating figures such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Sunday, when I drove pass by Mississauga Road and Hwy401, I decided to visit the building where I worked for nearly six years from 1993 to 1998. I lost my way. I drove around with many U turns for about 10 minutes before locating the building. It has been nearly 13 years since I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I became aware that an &#8220;old man&#8221; in my neighbourhood was bedridden. He couldn&#8217;t go to the public outhouse in our neighbourhood like the rest of us did.  He needed someone to stay at home to look after him around the clock.  I wondered what was [...]]]></description>

A decade ago, while I was working for a chemical company located in Mississauga, such wondering rarely occurred and even when it occurred, could last no more than a second. The answer was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Feb. 25, 2011 The Globe And Mail published an article reporting a finding that Canadian born visible minorities earn less than their white counterparts.  Specifically, Chinese earn 8% less, South Asians 13% less and blacks 19%. I accept the reality that there exists racial discrimination in Canada.  I accept this challenge in my life.  [...]]]></description>

I used to look down on some people for various reasons such as being lazy, weird, slow, not motivated, unappreciative, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MacLean&#8217;s article titled &#8220;Too Asian&#8221; (http://www2.macleans.ca/2010/11/10/too-asian/) misses one important perspective. The reason that Asians and Whites seem to be &#8220;segregated&#8221; on the campuses of U of Toronto, U of Waterloo and U of British Columbia is not just that Asians don&#8217;t make effort to mingle with Whites as the article has implied. It is also [...]]]></description>

When I was in Wuhan University in China, there was a popular saying among the students: a young man shorter than 170cm is considered semi-disabled in the dating scene. 2. In [...]]]></description>
