I’m still between jobs. It’s said to be an economic winter for IT industry, in addtion that it’s close to the new year, so people are retreating.

Guozijian (National Academy)

My brother visits me before he goes back home for winter break. We go to Guozijian and Temple of Confucius. It’s cold and the street is empty.

Dachengdian (the Hall of Great Accomplishment), the largest building in the Temple of Confucius. It's originally built during Yuan dynasty (1302) and later destroyed by fire. It's then rebuilt in Ming dynasty (1411) on the site.

The Analects, golden edition. It's literally as the old saying: you'll find gold in the books.

The thirteen classics steles, also called Qianlong steles. It's a huge collection of the thirteen classics of the Confucian school. They look astonishing aligned inside the gallery.

Exam admission ticket in the ancient time. It records the facial and physical features of the testee, so that the staff could verify the person. This is the ancient way of facial recognition.

Strangers

The next generation have abilities beyond our imagination.

Two high school students are discussing and drawing storyboard in the coffee shop.

A girl is reading a book about journal crafting in the coffee shop, as she waits for her mom working upstairs.

Even the coldness in the north cannot stop the enthusiasm of cosplayers.

Random Things

Do these many make me an alcoholic? In the north, they put beer bottle dolls in the toy machine.

These are bottles accumulated in two years.

Only in the north they put beer bottle dolls in the prize claw machine.

A half orange cat gives me a piss-off look.

A giant cat on the socialism values, with a phonetic symbol on its butt.

Long-haired Eva

Eva is a long-haired female cat, which are the three most enchanting characteristics.

My brother comes to visit, and Eva hides under the bed and watchs sout.

Eva’s Hair Cut

Eva looks beautiful in her long hair. However, she becomes dusty after rolling on the floor, which she loves to do. And sometimes she’ll lick off a chunk of hair and swing her head to swallow it. Therefore Barber Butters is back online. I planned to only trim her chest. But I cannot resist it once start it. After the hair cut, Eva seems younger and smaller.

Short-haired Eva

Being shaped into a seemingly young boy, Eva has some sorrow in her eyes.

Eva’s New Spots

Maybe not happy about the hair cut, Eva starts to be unwilling to stay in the same room with me. Recently she likes to stay on the stool in the outer room, and sometimes on the heater cover in front of the window, companied by the kettle.

Recently Eva favors to stay on this stool. Maybe she doesn't want to be in the same room with me.

Eva on the heater cover, which is a little crowded.

Eva Forced to Be With Butters

I use Eva as a scarf. A real fur does feel extremely comfortable.

Eva is not normally a lap cat. I feel extremely flattered when she lies between my legs, even though it's a difficult position for me.

The White

White loves to stretch his legs straightly out. He may looks like a cute little cat, but he bites with no holding back.

Favorite pose of White: straightly stretched out legs.

White stares at Eva over me, looking like a teenage boy.

Eva vs. White

It has been a year since they met last time. From the time Eva gets home, White follow her to everywhere all the time. As long as you see Eva, you’ll find White nearby. Eva is not that into White, and she slaps him if he approach her. White doesn’t seem to care at all.

Eva meets White again. They are both cautious.

White follows Eva everywhere for the first few days.

Long legged White is guarding sleeping Eva. But the fact is that he wants to approach her but is afraid to be slapped.
