China 361 boat wrecked

70 army soldiers died in the sea sham battle. The pic is the boat. The national leaders, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, went to see the boat and condoled the solders' families. We are all heart-struck for this thing. It is a pity that we lose so good soldiers. God bless them. Hope they have a quiet life in heaven.

Follow the stric exercises. I don't like worse exercises. I would not go to bed in the same time if you are sleepy.

I've always been amused that the official name of China's naval force is the "People's Liberation Army Navy".

That is all.

The name come from long history. In 1921 the Chinese Communist Party was born. The Party led us to drive English, Japanese, Portugal colonists, and Jiang Jieshi's dark government. The common people have a quiet, peaceful, safe, healthy and rich life that we cannot got ago. The army was mainly formed by poor work and farmer class. We call this class as common people. So we use the name until now.

So if they had a sporting event between them, it might be called the Army Army Navy Game.

In China many army series show in TV. The programs are popular in China, but I don't like because I watched too much when I was young. The CCTV-7 is one military channel. I don't know if you can see it in the USA.
