Hi,
I am considering using ZDT as my one and only note taking tool in Chinese class. In order to do
that I need to be able to input example sentences along with the word translations in every
flashcard. Ideally, each entry would contain a text area that could optionnally be filled and
would be saved along with the rest of the card.

I guess I can develop this myself but I don’t really know where to start. I took a look at the
developer’s guide and it seems doable, even though my java is a bit rusty. Could someone please
point me in the right direction? (I don’t expect this feature to be implemented in the base
version of ZDT, this shouldprobably take the form of a plugin).

If I can’t do it I guess I’ll ressort to the usual pen and paper plugin…

If you want to write extensions for ZDT, besides some Java knowledge, you’re also going to have to
learn some Eclipse RCP programming. To do what you want to do will probably require some changes
to the user database schema to support this extra data.

Anyway, if you can wait, this is something I plan on getting to. Besides adding support for adding
additional text, i want to also allow attaching of sounds and images as well.

I’ve just finish reading this fiction named “Rice” written by Su Tong (苏童).

The novel is not very long also not really difficult to read, but this is no means of simple and
naive, the idea behind this book is very deep and strong. after days of I still feel depress.

The story begin with a young man who fled into a town because his village is devastated by flood.
he have absolutely nothing with him and starve to death, he take insult from some sumbag on the
street in exchange for food, and he willing to work in the rice store for no money exceped the
meals, and step by step, he took control of the store.

I don’t want spoil too much or it will be much less fun too read, but I can grantee that this book
is not that type of novel that you can find every day. it is a dark tale featuring twist
characters, I don’t think you can find its name on a mainstream recomme list.

but its truly genius.

here is my review in chinese you can read if you interested:

有道是“人之初，性本善”

这句经文我等炎黄子孙在穿开裆裤时就是会背的了，三字经之所以三字为一�
��，我想也就是要让屁孩们背起来轻松一些，和唱儿歌一样赶紧背熟了，至��
�要赶在孩童们还没发展出怀疑这种高级思维前，以类似催眠的方法将“世界
是美好的，人类是善良的”此类思想灌输下去。

我就曾被灌输，却并非很彻底的那种。因为现在我已经明白这句话不那么真�
��，至少肯定没有如此绝对，但也仍并不认为这完全是胡说，这世上哪有绝��
�的真假呢，多数人都是在真假之间寻找自己的信仰。然而偏偏有些人极端的
大声呼唤到，这话里完全没有真实呵，一丁点儿都没有，苏童似乎就是这样�
��个人，他的小说《米》就是这样一个呼唤。

最早读苏童的文章就是那篇《妻妾成群》，当年本人很傻很天真，读完了也�
��懂，觉得不就是几房姨太太天天折腾么，如实写了一篇结论是女人难养也��
�读后感交给老师，被批了四个大红字：牛嚼牡丹。后来大了几岁再看老谋子
照本书拍的《大红灯笼高高挂》，自以为看懂了，为被封建礼教逼疯的巩俐�
��姨唏嘘不已，感情升华下还挤了几滴鳄鱼眼泪出来，这事距今已有些年月��
�。然而直到前几天才读完了苏童《米》，一夜难眠，震惊于小说的狰狞，区
区二百多页的文字竟然可以容纳这许多疯狂与憎恨，勾勒这许多邪恶的面目�
��实在是令人叹为观止。

五龙的进城就是故事的开始，他是被故乡的大水逼到城里来的，被饥饿击溃�
��五龙为了一块肉跪在地上叫了流氓一声爹，世间的恶在他心中种下了一个��
�子，从此慢慢的将五龙侵蚀成一个魔鬼，将更多的恶播撒到世间，受害者的
悲惨情态与复仇者的可怖面目交织在一起，在五龙身上融为一体，他憎恨着�
��有人的也被所有人憎恨，他报复侮辱他的人同时侮辱其他人，在这里，唯��
�不变并且永恒的便是憎恨，书中的人们宿命般的传承这憎恨，演出了一幕幕
悲惨的轮回：时常作践五龙的阿保侮辱性的给了五龙一个铜板的“赏钱”，�
��龙用这个铜板请人写了一封告密信要了阿保的命；五龙给自己打了满口金��
�因为这样“说的话才有分量”，但这竟然成了他儿子眼中作为父亲的唯一价
值，在他刚咽气后便砸掉了他的金牙；为了一件皮裘就将舍去所有矜持而依�
��于六爷的织云最终果然如一件破衣一样的被丢弃了，她的妹妹绮云憎恨一��
�邪恶却没想到憎恨本就是一种邪恶，于是她自然的要承受最多的苦难；终于
在最后，背着一袋米来到城市的五龙死在了回乡的火车上，而陪伴他的，亦�
��有满车的米，他完成的了他的使命，这邪恶的轮回却仍旧继续下去…

米在这书中的意象，无疑是十分清晰的，他代表了最基本的欲望亦是邪恶轮�
��的原动力。五龙家乡的田被淹了于是他带着仅存的米来到城市，自始至终��
�对米有着病态的虔诚，他眼中唯一可靠的只有米，他甚至只有睡在米堆中才
有安全的感觉，在这里，米成了五龙活着的终极意义，一切正义，道德，伦�
��便都毫无价值了。至此，作者的意图昭然而揭：人性本善,多么空洞的一句�
��言：人伴随欲望而生，为满足欲望而活。善良，同情只是衣食无忧后虚假��
�意淫。正如小松左京在《野性之口》中描述的那个吃掉自己的人；当科学将
宗教摧毁，艺术死亡于极致的精细与晦涩后，依旧运转不息的，便是那原始�
��野蛮之口，即使吞噬掉一切文明，伦理甚至自身，亦是在所不惜。

我拼命的试图来否定这样一个理论的真实，一厢情愿的认为它应只存在于文�
��之间，然而它就如一个尖利的呼号般，令人毛骨悚然，又长久的在耳边回��
�，再也挥之不去。

Thanks for this. It made me think of something else by 苏童 which I have suggested for the April
book of the month. Slowsonic, since you like books, why don’t you suggest this or another book in
that thread as well?
