    前两天纽约市经历了前所未有的飓风(桑迪)袭击,数百地势低洼处被水淹了起来。
    成千上万的老鼠争相逃命,据专家介绍,它们中的大多数可能幸存下来。“如果涉及到运动,它们是万事通,”Rick Ostfeld说“它们不能飞速冲刺,但是它们能平稳的移动。它们不是迈克尔·菲尔普斯,但是它们擅长游泳,即便它们没有善于抓握的尾巴。这一切,它们已经做的很好了!”
    Rick Ostfeld指出,老鼠可以轻松地游了几百米。他说:“老鼠之所以分散在世界各地,一个原因就是,它们跳下船,然后游泳。英文有句谚语‘rats leaving a sinking ship(老鼠可以离开正在下沉的船)’实际上是显而易见的。”
    没有人可以知道在纽约市到底居住着多少老鼠,城市中的老鼠主要是由挪威鼠(褐家鼠,来自欧洲的入侵者)和黑鼠(褐家鼠,它起源于亚洲)。在整个纽约市,都可以发现这些生存能力强的老鼠,但是他们通常不长途跋涉。
    飓风桑迪以为所造成的一个前所未有的影响:城市中的老鼠大规模疏散。Rick Ostfeld担心可能会传播老鼠身上的疾病。Rick Ostfeld说:“它就像流感传播,从老鼠到老鼠,最后你可能染上到感染者与未感染者的混合病毒,这是一个病毒的大爆发。”
    城市中的老鼠被指为携带传染性疾病,包括钩端螺旋体病,伤寒,沙门氏菌病,汉坦病毒,甚至流行瘟疫。这种疾病在人类身上的潜伏期一般是数周到一个月。Rick Ostfeld说:“在未来的几周和几个月内,医疗保健工作者,应该为老鼠传播的各种疾病做及时有效防护。”

Lei Shen 说...

One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.

The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.

Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.

One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.

Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.
