It is interesting to put the two versions of Media 81 together. After all, it marks the development of an idea from merely an idea into a site. From version one to version two, it has gone through a lot of changes, like when a child is growing up…

始终没和战友走远

2006年元月28日晚间18：30分，也就是除夕夜，中央电视台三套用90分钟时间在《艺术人生》栏目播出了一个春节特别节目 –《温暖2005》。以下是节目对白摘录…

白岩松：最值得回归的东西我说就是情

今年我经历了两件大事：中学毕业二十周年，进大学校园二十周年，然后两个大聚会，第一个聚会我回到内蒙，我以为很多人已经彼此不太认识了，结果回去之后，我们似乎有五分钟的静场，然后马上就开始想起来，开始叫各自的外号，那三天我基本没醒过，我以为三天一结束我就醒了，我发现更长的时间就醒不过来了，一直记忆停留在那里，大家回到自己的学校，自己的班级，看到老师已经需要搀扶了。接着十一我们举行了大学相识二十年的聚会，我们聚会的名字叫“至少还有你”，我们聚会的第一个项目是回到了我们的教室，好多人带着孩子等着班主任来，那一瞬间我就突然觉得好像我们是在等待上课，但是惟一奇怪的事情是学校怎么来这么多孩子。我负责编晚会上的舞曲CD，我就做了两盘，把我们那四年里最流行的歌曲连在一起，我那时候愿意跳迪斯科，我就隔个四五首歌放一首迪斯科，为什么这么想，我怕这帮老胳膊老腿跳不动了，结果晚上挨骂了，嫌我放的迪斯科太少。

晚会上，我们哭、我们笑，然后互相劝，然后一个感触就出来了，友情已经变成亲情，我们在找什么、回归什么呢？我们回不到十八岁到二十二岁的这个时间了，而且那时候真那么好吗，每个人都一麻袋问题，这个失恋了，那个考试差点不及格，然后这个菜票不够了，我们那时候晚上买个馒头回去，留在晚上当夜宵，怕同宿舍的偷藏被子里，就这样每次回来馒头都不见了。但是当时间过去了二十年的时候你发现那一麻袋问题都不见了，连麻袋都不见了，好像剩下的全是美好的东西，我才知道我们回归什么，去找人和人这一辈子，陌生人这一辈子曾经最近的距离。没有任何杂念，全在谈梦想、理想，互相帮助，钱也不多，最干净、最纯净、最值得回归的东西我说就是情。

张越：不要做一个没有记忆没有过去的人

前些天我看了一部电影叫《如果·爱》，我当时觉得看这个电影的时候特别感动，我在想当我们面对自己内心的真感情，对生活做出了选择，日后很多年之后，我们就可以问心无愧地回忆我们今天的经历和今天的故事了。是，现实生活很重要，但是在追着生活的滚滚红尘往前跑的时候，别忘了回过头来看，有什么真正的东西被你失掉了，别忘了把这个遗憾弥补上，否则你可能会成为一个没有记忆没有过去的人。

朱军：我始终没和我的战友走远

我经常会在夜里两三点钟接到骚扰电话，一看电话号码不是别人，一定是我这帮战友，而且经常会在过年过节的时候收到短信，说过节了，咱是不是该准备个麻袋，再去厨房偷点鸡蛋吃。这是我跟我部队的那些战友，真是没走远，真没走远。…

Podcasting

We are now podcast enabled. To put in simple terms, a podcast is the name given to a MP3 file that is automatically delivered to its audience using a newsfeed subscription, which also enables audio/viduo in-cocntent showing and playing. After some hard attempts, we eventually have it up and running. See the button below? Just click it. It’s amazing!

I have studied mankind and know my heart…

I have studied mankind and know my heart; I am not made like any one I have been acquainted with, perhaps like no one in existence; if not better, I at least claim originality. – by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Confessions”
