My books all genuine even few of them are second-handed:

(Personally I refuse to use any copied book simply because I believe in that your attitude towards books would finally be reflected by the "attitude" towards you. That is, you don't treat them seriously, then they won't treat you seriously. Just imagine most of those books are collections of years of hardworking of most genuine men on Earth. Do I have the liberty to ignore them? It is like falling in love. You would probably not like to talk with a replica of human, even though you wouldn't mind of talking with a second-handed. No offence.)

                        可能是世界上最好的政治讽刺电视连续剧。。。

      (probably the best political satire TV series in this world...)

The following video are all hosted in my personal web and the purpose of doing so is not encouraging violation of intellectual property law. Instead, it is to demonstrate to most people who have no chance to view or to be introduced with these magnificent program due to Chinese government Culture-Nazism.

(以下内容并不是鼓励盗版DVD,相反是因为“伟光正”封锁了这一令他们感到震惊的政治讽刺巨作,不得已,我才开辟了这个专栏,希望在二十年后这部片子能够被某些中国人接受,因为对于现在的大多数中国普通民众来说他们太难以欣赏了。的确,中国还需要二三十年的发展。)

我的心情是矛盾的,对于这两部我最心爱的英剧,我是坚决反对盗版的流传的,而且本人是购买了原装正版的全套DVD,一两百块美金对于很多人不过是一 两餐饭而已,可是对于当时还在靠政府的助学金为生的学生来说应该是相当困难的,如果不是非常真爱应该是很难做到的.但是,另一方面,对于这个人类的宝贵财 富大部分中国人是很难接触的,首先是伟光正的封锁,其次是相当高的语言要求,其中的对白是如此的经典也是如此的难懂,因此如果没有配合正确的台词,要准确 的理解欣赏是几乎不可能的.我看到过国内热心的字幕组的翻译,有些鉴于英语水平实在是不敢恭维.有时候在蹄笑皆非之余感到悲伤,对于大多数中国人完全不应 该由于语言的障碍而导致不能欣赏这些人类的宝贵财富,所以,我决定开放我的个人收藏,这些是我专门使用DVD rip工具把原版字幕保留下来的版本,如此的欣赏与学习可以真正的享受原汁原味的正版之余学习语言与智慧的艺术表演.

以下是我的版本,为了防止机器爬虫的盗版以及一切非中文读者的滥用,我不直接给出链接,而是描述链接的组成,你如果是真正的粉丝应该能偶明白怎样下载欣赏,如果一旦你成为如我一样的挚爱这些,我强烈建议你也购买正版永久收藏:
链接的组成是这样子的:  根目录/DVD名/文件名

比如如果DVD名是YesMinister, 文件名是NonExists.m4v,则链接是(这个是不工作的是防止机器人下载的例子而已): www.staroceans.org/TV-play/DVD-name/NonExist.m4v

你需要把其中的DVD-name替换为以下的第X张DVD名字,把NonExist.m4v替换为文件名.如果你是真的想要看的话不会因为这些麻烦而放弃的:
