#? 1

The following information has been given:

        China
        east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.

Therefore TZ='Asia/Shanghai' will be used.
Local time is now:      Tue Dec 17 18:22:10 CST 2013.
Universal Time is now:  Tue Dec 17 10:22:10 UTC 2013.
Is the above information OK?

2) No
#? 1

You can make this change permanent for yourself by appending the line
        TZ='Asia/Shanghai'; export TZ
to the file '.profile' in your home directory; then log out and log in again.

Here is that TZ value again, this time on standard output so that you
can use the /usr/bin/tzselect command in shell scripts:
Asia/Shanghai

sudo date -s MM/DD/YY //修改日期
sudo date -s hh:mm:ss //修改时间

sudo hwclock --systohc //非常重要，如果没有这一步的话，后面时间还是不准
