My major ~ Journal Questions #5

My major is computer science. But it is not my choice. In china, every student who graduate from senior high school has to join in the college entrance examination. After that exam( we didn't know our score), we have to estimation our score with the moder answer. And then, follow the score to choose school(s). My teacher said I can get to the second level school. So we just focus on the second level schools part. Actually, I want to be a lawyer as my mother. We just filled in other parts slipshod. However, when I know I have a low score, I feel bad. Whatever, I got the offer, too. But the major was not law. It was computer science. My father said it has a good future, so I went to there to study that. If I have a opportunity, I will change my major to law. To be a lawyer is my dream since I was 10.

The National Flag of the People's Republic of China Journal Questions 3/29 ~

The National Flag of the People's Republic of China

My national flag is" five-star red flag". As its name suggests, it is a red flag with 5 yellow stars. Red means revolution, 5 yellow stars and their relationship express population unite together with Communist Party of China. They use yellow instead of white because yellow is more obvious on the red flag. The 5 stars are not the same size. One of them is bigger, it means Communist Party of China, other 4 stars means the national of China, including: the working class, the peasantry, the petty bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie. And every star has a angle point at the focus of the big one. That's interesting. In 1949 the first time of the "five-star red flag" appeared, there is a sickle and a hammer in the bigger star. It stand for the working class and the peasantry. But they decided that no sickle and hammer in the bigger star, because it is similar as the flag of Russia. And then, the National People's Congress laid down so many law to protect the flag. For example: we must change the flag on Tiananmen Square everyday, we can not use the flag which is broken or dirty, and so on.
