(7) Part VII. June 19, 2012

Quote:
"Have I mentioned this so far? That women — particularly young pretty ones — wear false eyelashes? I don’t think I’ve seen false eyelashes in America in many years. A young Taiwanese woman explains to me, with a little bit of contempt, that this trend comes from Japan . . .
"We discuss Chiang Kai-shek, the good and the bad. The good has been rising, Lin notes. That is, scholars and other analysts have been emphasizing the good. This debate will be had, I suspect, until [God's] kingdom come.
Note:
(a) dolce far niente

(8) Part VIII. June 20, 2012.

Note:
(a) Mab HUANG, Soochow University  東吳大學 黃 默
Later in this Part, the author wrote, "Soochow University was founded by Methodists in China at the turn of the last century."
(i) Soochow University (Taiwan)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soochow_University_(Taiwan)
(The original Soochow University was founded by Methodists in Suzhou, Jiangsu province of Qing Dynasty China in 1900 as a merger of three existing institutions: the Po-hsi Academy 博習書院, the Kung-hsiang Academy 宮巷書院, and the Chung-hsi Academy 中西書院 [all three established by Methodists])
(ii) 認識東吳. 東吳大學, undated.
http://twb.idc.scu.edu.tw/scu2007/zh_tw/guest_know.htm
("東吳大學於1900年在蘇州由基督教監理會創建,是中國高等教育史上第一所西制大學。1951年在台灣復校,亦為台灣第一所私立大學")
(b) John Updike
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Updike
(1932-2009; American)
(c) Leo Strauss
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Strauss
(1899-1973; born in Germany to Jewish parents and later emigrated to the United States. He spent most of his career as a professor of political science at the University of Chicago)
(d) Regarding Tze-Chen SHENG."

Ohio Architect; Newsletter of the Ohio Board of Examiners of Architects. Spring 1993
http://arc.ohio.gov/pubs/Spring%201993.pdf
(Cert No 10274[,]  Jeff Tze-Chen Sheng[,] Ann Arbor, MI" in the right column of page 7)

The name seems easy to me, or many Taiwanese. Sheng is 盛, and Tze (a common spelling in Taiwan) is likely 澤 (pinyin ze) or 哲 (zhe). I can not find in the Web how Mr Jeff Tze-Chen Sheng has his name in Chinese, because he is Am,erican and does not need it (Chinese name).

"incapable of being surmounted, overcome, passed over, or solved <insuperable difficulties>"
