  • The Legacy of Tiananmen: 20 Years of Oppression, Activism and Hope Chrd
    THE LEGACY OF TIANANMEN: 20 YEARS OF OPPRESSION, ACTIVISM AND HOPE CHRD Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) Web: Hhttp://crd-net.org/H Email: [email protected] THE LEGACY OF TIANANMEN: 20 YEARS OF OPPRESSION, ACTIVISM AND HOPE Chinese Human Rights Defenders June 1, 2009 Twenty years since the Tiananmen massacre, the Chinese government refuses to accept responsibility, much less apologize or offer compensation, for killing, injuring, imprisoning and persecuting individuals for participating in peaceful protests. The number of the victims, and their names and identities, remain unknown. Families continue to be barred from publicly commemorating and seeking accountability for the death of their loved ones. Activists are persecuted and harassed for independently investigating the crackdown or for calling for a rectification of the government’s verdict on the pro‐democracy movement. Many individuals continue to suffer the consequences of participating in the pro‐democracy movement today. At least eight individuals remain imprisoned in Beijing following unfair trials in which they were convicted of committing “violent crimes”. Those who were released after long sentences have had difficulty re‐integrating into society as they suffer from continued police harassment as well as illnesses and injuries resulting from torture, beatings and mistreatment while in prison. Many of those injured have had to pay for their own medical expenses and continue to struggle as the physical and psychological scars leave them unable to take care of themselves or to work. Some who took part in the protests still find it difficult to make ends meet after they were dismissed from comfortable jobs or expelled from universities after 1989.

  • Introduction
    Chapter 1 Introduction Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it. Rabindranath Tagore 1.1 UNDERGROUND SPACE AND ITS REQUIREMENT The joy of traveling through underground metros, rail, and road tunnels, espe- cially the half-tunnels in mountains and visiting caves, cannot be described. Modern underground infrastructures are really engineering marvels of the 21st century. The space created below the ground surface is generally known as underground space. Underground space may either be developed by open excavation in soft strata or soil, the top of which is subsequently covered to get the space below, or created by excavation in hard strata or rock. Underground space is available almost everywhere, which may provide the site for activities or infrastructure that are difficult or impossible to install above- ground or whose presence aboveground is unacceptable or undesirable. Another fundamental characteristic of underground space lies in the natural protection it offers to whatever is placed underground. This protection is simultaneously mechanical, thermal, acoustic, and hydraulic (i.e., watertight). It is effective not only in relation to the surface, but also within the underground space itself. Thus underground infrastructure offers great safety against all natural disasters and nuclear wars, ultraviolet rays from holes in the ozone layer, global warm- ing, electromagnetic pollution, and massive solar storms. Increasing population and the developing needs and aspirations of human- kind for our living environment require increasing provision of space of all kinds. This has become a high priority for most “mega cities” since the closing years of the 20th century. The world’s population is becoming more urbanized, at an unprecedented pace.

  • On C-E Translation of Beijing Subway Stations Names Under Skopos Theory
    US-China Foreign Language, June 2019, Vol. 17, No. 6, 297-304 doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2019.06.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING On C-E Translation of Beijing Subway Stations Names Under Skopos Theory LYU Liangqiu, LYU Shang North China Electric Power University, Beijing, China With the increasing international exchanges, the subway station’s English name is playing an increasingly important role in transportation. Based on the problems in the current English translation found in the investigation, this paper attempts to retranslate the problematic station names from the perspective of Skopos Theory. Finally, it is expected to propose suggestions and enlightenment for the standardization of subway stations’ English translation. Keywords: Beijing subway stations names, translation, Skopos Theory Introduction With close international exchanges, there are more and more foreigners in Beijing. Subway is progressively significant for their travel, so the English name of the subway station has also become a business card in Beijing. Beijing subway has 22 lines and 391 stations with a total length of 637 kilometers, which is of great importance in Beijing transportation. It is worth noting that there are still many irregularities in the current English names. For example, the translation of similar names is not uniform, and the inaccurate translation results are difficult in understanding. These irregularities will not only cause confusion for foreigners but also damage Beijing’s international image. Therefore, based on the Skopos Theory, this paper aims to retranslate subway station names with classification, and hopes to provide some reference for the English translation of the subway station. Features of Beijing Subway Station Translation The translation of Beijing subway station names is fairly essential.

It is your first task and final goal in China. We all have high hopes for you! Acculturative stress or ―culture shock‖ is something you may experience when coming to China, as its culture is so "alien" or different from what you are used to. We therefore have the following advice: Embrace the changes in your environment with a positive attitude and always be optimistic, hopeful, resilient, and confident. Find social support through friends and family and share your experience with them. Try not to spend all of your time online, but go out to local attractions and make new friends.
