Personality traits Several months ago, I read a book about people's personality called Four-colors Personality Analysis(FPA), written by Lejia, a well-known teacher in China. In this book, he talks a lot about natural personality of humans and holds that people's personality is inborn. He names four colors for different characters and considers that basically people just own one color or no more than two. Every color stands for one kind of character and each has advantages and disadvantages. When you know what color you are, he offers a lot of suggestions to avoid shortcomings of your own and you can also find a way to develop some personality traits of other colors. He stresses that human's character is inborn, which means that people just have one or two main characters and others are influenced by a variety of complicated things, such as grow-up environment, life experience, education and so forth. It's a really interesting and useful book on how to find yourself and know who you are and why you behave in a certain way when something happens to you.

My hometown Guilin Guilin is a small city located in the south of China. There is a clear river running through the city center. It is called Li River which is well-known in China and even in some western countries. There is a propaganda video "this is Guilin" about 60 seconds playing at Times Square in Manhattan, New York. It shows 1,400 years old banyan in Yangshuo, beautiful Li River and its terraced fields in Longsheng. You will see the elephant trunk hill, the emblem of Guilin, standing on the Li River. Many foreigners like to visit Yangshuo, a place full of tourists around the world. You can take a cruise in the city center down to Yangshuo and you can also take a shuttle bus. If you come to Guilin, everything will make you refresh. It's a good place to relax.
