Tuesday Conversation

After i got a call from juan, we went to Cafe to have a lunch social with Shiela.

A kind UK old lady.It's the first time i joined this group.we talked about the rivers in the Sheffied.There are five main rivers here.The Don is the main river, others are streams,branches of Don.Doncaster is named after the Don,like Sheffield is named after Shef river.There are a lots of FIELD kind city names.'Field' means piece of land cleared of trees and usually enclosed,usually has grass around. And 'Caster' is a Roman word,means castle. Chester is also a word from Rome.like Manchester.

later,we talked about the chess and Chinese chess.I didn't think about their relations before untill i showed Shiela the rule of the Chinese
chess and compared with the chess. Actually, it's quite similar,especially,when you know how to play one of them.The Chinese
chess uses the point,and the chess uses the block.

When i came back to my room,I think maybe the main difference between them is the pawn's 'destiny'.In Chinese chess,the pawn is always the
bottom never getback,just go till the end of the boundry.In chess,after the pawn reached the end, it should be converted to other
characters:the knight,rook,bishop,not a pawn any more.What dose it mean? dose it indicate that you can change your life when you reached
you last goal?

A pawn's life is just like person's,which has different role during the whole life.At different stage,you have different abilities.
