Isabel Zhang @ VCU

It seems that I went to the library to keep the promise. That doesn't sound good. Actually I realized that it's time to get something prepared for the paper. I read the AD AGE. Though I can browse it on the internet in the dorm, I don't think I'll do that automatically. I read about JASON JIANG in a special report called "40 under forty". It's a report about 40 young and successful executives. Of course Jiang was among those. He and his Focus Media perfectly incarnated the golden rule of Marshall McLuhan --" The medium is the message." I know the latter operation of the whole company is good. But comparatively speaking, the idea that putting TV screens in buildings in BCD which show ads on and on is the key to success.

Still I saw CONDE NAST's ad in AD AGE. Nearly a quarter of the magazine was occupied by it. Maybe this is the way how giant media group works. As long as a brand or a company grows into a certain phase, creativity is no longer important to their ads. They only need to be as extravagant as it could be.

I admit that I wrote ten postcards during the lectures toay. But I only mailed two of them coz I haven't got enough coins. What's more, the stamp machine in the students' commons eats money!!! When it's time to eject changes, it always displays "Temp out of service!" And the stamp fee is much more expensive than the postcard itself...Anyway, I'll still send them out coz I know my dear friends on the other hemisphere are waiting for the cards. One important thing I realize during this journey is that I can not live without you. No matter your emails, comments, messages or MSN chats all make me feel that I'm still banded closely to you.

Miss you all and kiss!
