Summary of Snow Flower Chapter :Into the Mountains.
This chapter is mainly about how the appearances never show the real side of things.In this chapter Lili and Snow Flower spend time together since they both got married.Lily went to visit Snow Flower and his family after their parents in law died.When Lily saw the way that Snow flower lives,she never thoght that Snow Flower,was so poor and Snow Flower husband was just a butcher and the house of Snow Flower was poor and with a constant smell of pork.The Snow Flower mother in law treats her very bad and her husband quite similar.Lily was happy to be with her laotong but she never thought that Snow Flower lived on that conditions.In this chapter Lily and Snow Flower share a lot of time together and they talk a lot about old times and Lily help Snow Flower with the kids and all that.In those days was a rebellion in a village close to them and one day they have to escape to the mountains because the rebels were terrible with all the people who decided to stay in the village .Lily didn't want to go but she didn't have another opcion, because Snow Flower husband talk with her serious about that she could die if she stays there, and Lily and all of the family of Snow Flower went to the mountains together and they spent a lot of days without food, water and more things.The days were cold and the conditions very bad but Snow Flower and Lily were together.In this chapter you can see how strong was the friendship of Snow Flower and Lily and how you never can trust in how you mind think that the things are.Because in real life things sometimes are cruel and in very different conditions.The most important thing of this chapter was that Lily know the truth on how Snow Flower life was and the were throught difficult situations together.

"Summary about spatial variation and distribution of urban energy consumptions from cities in China."
China has big diversity in natural , geographical
conditions, population density and energy consumption patterns.Also china has
a quick discrepancy of economic
development between china’s urban and rural areas, leading to corresponding
differences in economic production and energy consumption therefore, a dual
structure has been formed in the consume of energy resources in china,in which
the majority of energy is used by cities.Urban residents consume a lot of
energy consumption.therefore it is certainly that urban energy plays an important role in china’s energy
consumption.urban energy would be of
great significance in achieving the country’s national targets such as energy
security and climate change impact
mitigation.For now the previous studies focused on national energy system said
that there has been a great lack in
reports on energy consumption patterns in Chinese cities.
This article is based
in a research so china has initiated a number of measures and some strategies to facilitate the identification of optimal
energy structures in most Chinese cities
, with the purpose of know which cities
have better structures.because of economic diversities it is normally
unreasonable to put forward the same target of reducing energy consumption for all of the cities. An
investigation of spatial variance in energy consumptions in the entire country are thus necessary to
facilitate the restructure energy system in many cities in order to improve
energy security, reduce energy induced air pollution and GHG emission. But in
this article the main objective of this article is to investigate and analyze the spatial characteristics of energy
consumption patterns.
To conclude this
article and the research made the 30
provincial capital cities of mainland china were adopted as case cities to make analysis of spatial characteristics of urban
energy systems regard to energy consumption scale, structure and efficiency.the
high diversities and large spatial
variances with regard to scale ,
structure and efficiency are the indicators associated with urban energy
consumption.cites with the highest total energy consumptions are mostly
distributed in economic developed-regions as Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan
area,Yangtze river delta and pearl river delta of china. The three Chinese
economy_ zones east, middle and west the within group differences are the
dominant factor that contribute to the
overall variance for all the indicators
of scale efficiency and structure.Also
the framework of urban energy management
is from top to bottom and based on administrative divisions. This is
mainly about what the article talks.Link to the complete article:http://web.ebscohost.com.db16.linccweb.org/ehost/detail?vid=5&hid=108&sid=72b04d8b-9d99-4d6d-a083-3f5d002d4545%40sessionmgr104&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=a9h&AN=57994964.

China has a large, dynamic and complex city system. This one is divided into three levels based on their -administrative statuses. The three are county –level cities, prefecture-level cities and 3 central municipalities. From 1993 to 2000 these three levels has changed in numbers a lot. The city of Chongqing became the fourth central municipality in July 1997.When the cities are at different statuses, they get different levels of authority, like investment decision making and foreign-funded project approvals. When the level is higher, then more directly the city reports to Beijing and greater is its autonomy and influence.
The definition of China cities is not that simple. Chinese cities are administrative entities and must be officially designated, with designation criteria; this means that it must be a function of political-administrative status, economic development, openness, and total population of an urban place. There have been many upgrades in the status in the administrative hierarchy and what includes and all this efforts have brought a significant growth in China’s urban sector in the past two decades. As an example many county seats were reclassified as cities, what increase the total number of cities.
To explain better this topic China classifies cities in five categories according to their sizes, super large for cities with the greatest population, very large, large, medium and small cities. The majority of Chinese cities are small. Because all of this that I explained before the geographical situation in china has changed a lot, with the increased of cities that there weren’t cities before and this have increased china’s total gross domestic product, national industrial output and total exports. The Chinese city system exhibit great impacts of china’s urban development strategies. How is this? Heavy industries are grown, the cities are considered as potential places for industrial plants.
Since many years, China has moved really quickly its urbanization. As prove of that its urban population increased from 172 million to 458 million, and the urban population share increased too. The China’s urban policy, play a roll favoring the development of small cities. This Chinese policy has been question by scholars in recent years. China city system has also been affected by migration policy, so they limited rural- to –urban migration, especially to large cities. China’s city system will be determined by market forces rather than by government intervention.
