Title: Hello! I'm the new one.
Post by: Ragnarok on June 05, 2008, 06:37:26 am
Hello,everybody! :D So glad to be one of the members.I'm the one coming from the country where Olymplic Games will be held.At present our people's passion is like the burning fire although our country is suffering a terrible disaster.We all are looking forward to it.And Welcome to Beijing!

I'm Jian Zhang,and 25 years old.I discovered Therion all by chance four years ago.It was in a CD shop,and I suddenly saw the album "Crowning of Atlantis".I thought its cover was special and bought it.From then on,I fell in love with Therion.

My interests are: music,reading,electronic games,movies and so on.There should be more.

This is me.Thank you! :wOOt:

Title: Hi, Luth! About my name.
Post by: Ragnarok on June 05, 2008, 01:39:31 pm
 :fish:

Calling me Jian, Zhang, or Jian Zhang all will be OK. Zhang is my family name.
My name is impossible to be written by English because they are two Chinese Characters, and consist of no letters.
What I have spelt above is my name's Chinese pronunciation.
Title: Re: Hello! I'm the new one.
Post by: Luth on June 05, 2008, 02:00:58 pm
Thanks for the explanation!  :bow:

Somewhere I heard about Chinese names being what we call the second name... that's why I doubted  :nosweat:

Enjoy!!

I am very glad to hear this!   :)
Which area of China do you come from?  Do you like football at all?  I know very little about China, but the team I support has a Chinese player, Sun Jihai:

(http://picsrv.mcfc.co.uk/?fif=/mcfc/img_502_9772.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=150&hei=150&rgn=0,0,0,0&cvt=jpeg)

Do you know of him?  He used to play for Dalian Wanda.


ps. Kiss for Sirius

I don't know what I did to deserve that, but thanks!! :) :biggrin:

I suggest that this be adopted as policy for all female NTSMS members:  Kiss Sirius!!

Just remember to feed that Anglerfish and everything will be OK.

Cheers,

Post by: Ragnarok on June 10, 2008, 06:46:44 am
Sun Jihai,yeah,of course I know him.He is our country's famous football star.What a coincidence!  :w00t_jump:
I'm now in the city (Dalian) where he once was for working.But my hometown is in the province of Henan,far from Dalian.

I like watching football matches.As for playing,it's embarrassing,I play too bad.  :bawl:

I'm now in the city (Dalian) where he once was for working.But my hometown is in the province of Henan,far from Dalian.

Look out for his club, Manchester City - they are on the rise, looking to go far... if they succeed in their ambition then you will surely hear more about them soon.  Sun Jihai is well-loved at this club!  :biggrin:

I just looked up Dalian on google maps - it looks like a cool place from above!  :)   I'm not sure I found Henan correctly - is it west and south across the water from Dalian?  It's good to try and picture where our NTSMS membership is based - I hope I'm finding the right places!   :wacko:


I like watching football matches.As for playing,it's embarrassing,I play too bad. 

Right now the European Championships have just started over here - all the top national teams competing for Europe's biggest prize... Spain just beat Russia 4 - 1.   Sweden just beat Greece 2 - 0....  Lots of good matches to look forward to over the coming days.   :wOOt:


Anyway, sorry to get side-tracked onto football... 


I am also curious to know how accessible is Therion & metal in China?  What other metal bands do you like?

(and as Ereshkigal said: feel free to post anywhere!)

Yes, I think you found them right. Dalian is a very beautiful city, good place for touring on the peninsula. Henan is almost in the centre of China, to the southwest of Dalian across the water.


Anyway, sorry to get side-tracked onto football... 

Why sorry? That's all right. Just for fun! European Championships, of course, I will watch TV if not very busy.


I am also curious to know how accessible is Therion & metal in China?  What other metal bands do you like?

There are many metal bands I like besides Therion, such as Nightwish, Within Temptation, Rammstein, Linkin Park, Guns N' Roses, and so on.  :roll:

As to the question you asked how accessible Therion and metal are in China, hahaaaa,  :nosweat:  it is a little difficult to answer you. Well, make it simple. Let's talk about Therion first. Honestly speaking, Therion is not very popular in China. That's not because the people don't like it at all, but only a few know Therion, most people even don't know there is such a great band! So, this is the point. About metal music, the point is not whether how accessible this kind of music is. You know, Chinese people don't incline to refuse everything, and they are easily curious about things unknown or new. Then if they have an interest or feel it worth their energy, they will be very glad to accept it. The same way they face metal music, if they find the cultural background of some band's music is interesting and the melody is great, this band will be welcomed. For example, Nightwish is a splendid success in China. The band is well loved by youngsters and adults although it is a foreign band and its songs are sung in English. Actually, there are many internet forums like NTSMS in China talking about kinds of metal music!  :idea:
