Obstacle:  3'48''
A terrified attack took place last week in Urumuqi, killing 43 people and wounding more than 90.  This kind of attack indicates that the terrorism is no longer an exotic thing for Chinese.  Before this massacre, the foreign medias are reticent to describe the earlier attacks in China as terrorism, partly because they are discomfort about Chinese treatment of minorities.  Though China government implements the amicable polices of assimilation. The minority such as Uighurs see the policy as a flagrant infringement up their  rights, tantamount to a sort of cultural genocide.

[obstacle]
4:54 说得好！
The biggest enemy of Chinese citizens may not be terrorists and each other.
The people who frightened and who frighten are terrorists. The terrorism is defined in China like such thing. If all people, no matter who they are, minority or majority, all have rights to vote for policies, there may be no terrorism in China.

T2：1:53
Star war has won great box office, but it ruined sci-fi movies with mostly special effects without valuable ideas.
T3: 1:11
Many thoughtful novels were not made into movies because they are too hard to understand. Some movies made from good novels were not popular. The first Star War was new and fresh, but the rests are some old. The Matrix was recommanded.
T4: 2:41
M was protested by students to be the college president because of his personal image as a Confederate sympathizer and his political connection.
T5: 1:50
M's hiring could intensify the segregation of black students from white. This has to do with the message that his presidency would send to students. His hiring could also hamper the college's business benifit. Criticizers also doubt his education experience.
T6: 2:42
Various concerns include the trustees issue, the board, the possibility of merging,and shift of business model.
obstacle: 5:42
A serial of terrorist activity happened in China recently and frightened many people. Many bloggers accused America of applying double standard. The terrorism and violent protest are difficult to tell and handle. International discomfort of Chinese government treating minorities is also involved. Policies about multi-ethnic nation is considered flagrant to minorities and intensify their conflict with Han people. The felt second-classed and wanted to be treat equally.
