“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

Chinese Rock'n Roll
By Alex Zhou
On the night of Saturday, May 3, Alex's family went to watch Chinese rock'n roll. The line was really long there and they had to wait a really long time. When they got to their seats, they had to wait a really long time until the Chinese rock'n roll started. They bought a thing that lights up because they knew that the light would be off. Finally the person, Chiu Jian, was on the stage to sing Chinese rock'n roll songs. He had a few microphones and it was really loud. Still, Alex almost fell asleep. It was kind of boring since they didn't even understand what he was saying. The person said that in China, rock'n roll is called rolling egg because eggs can hatch or roll on the ground and break. If it hatches, then its like another person in Chinese rock'n roll and if it breaks than no more people will be in Chinese rock'n roll. The only thing Diane understand was the counting in one song. At the end, Alex was really sleepy. On the way home Alex fell asleep. It was really boring.
