Amazing Lin!


Recently I'm totally overwhelmed by Jeremy Lin, along with other millions of sudden fans around the world. Everybody know his story well by now. What happens in the past two weeks is even more unbelievable than Hollywood movies -- but it is truly happening. To some religious people, his performance is a proof of the existence of God.

Back to Taiwan, some so-called "professional" basketball players looked down on him when he visited Taiwan. Some debating if he is a "proud of Taiwan", because he was born and educated in USA despite his Taiwanese parents. I think he is just himself. What he has accomplished is a result of his hard-work and family support that we should respect a lot, and a lot of good luck he relates to higher mighty power. Taiwan has nothing to do with his success, however, it is also nothing wrong to feel related to him and be proud of him as many Asian-Americans or Asian-Canadians do. After all, he is indeed a direct Taiwanese decent raised by Taiwanese immigrant parents. He has gone through all stereotypes or even discrimination that other Asians faced. Luckily he has good parents with decent economical position to support him with good education -- not many people can choose Havard when they don't get a scholarship for college.

彎腳怪獸

兒子最近扮演一種他想像出來的怪獸,叫彎腳怪獸。牠是依據特徵命名的,牙齒又長又尖,彎腳比最大的蜥腳類恐龍還大,是二疊紀最兇猛的肉食性動物。分類上屬於二疊紀的麗齒獸類(他畫了一張樹狀圖,麗齒獸類有麗齒獸跟彎腳怪獸兩種,同時期還有甲龍類的盾甲龍)。後來這怪獸越來越誇張,有半個地球大,是從外太空別的星球來的,地球上只有一隻住在地底下,原來的星球上還有幾千隻同伴,這段我想是受了變形金剛的影響)。牠有堅硬的背甲,上面有尖刺,頭部也有骨甲保護,腹部也有,所以不像甲龍腹部有弱點。可是牠的骨頭是跟鳥類一樣有空洞的,所以很輕可以跑很快。脖子不長,短短的,頭中等,不算大也不太小。腿要台灣2300萬人抱起來那麼大隻,大約等於喜馬拉雅山的寬度...

A Day in Jeremy Lin's Life

Watch how a champion is trained every day. If you learn that he has to keep on doing this every day even when no team wants him, it's not a surprise to see his performance now. I once read that Michael Jordan practiced 8 hours a day even with that talent.

He did it again! Comparing Jeremy with latest notorious Makiyo gang, it's obvious how important family education is.

The Jeremy Lin Show!

Today Jeremy Lin of New York Knicks broke his career record again, in his first career start in NBA. 28 points, 8 assists, 2 steals. It is not exaggerating to say that he saved the Knicks alone in the past two games. The official site of Knicks sent an mail to fans with one word: "Linsanity." He just did it in last game on Saturday off the bench to score 25 and assisted 7 times. Praise to this Taiwanese boy!
