Không nên nhớ mãi không quên thời khắc hoa mai đẹp đẽ nhất, đó chẳng qua là một loại biểu hiện giả dối. Nếu dùng hoa mai trong bức tranh so sánh với hoa mai trong hiện thực, như vậy với chúng là không công bằng.

Over the years, I have learned that if each country could understand the other’s history, culture, and viewpoint, and accept that there are some issues that the two countries will “agree to disagree”, there would be tremendous progress. I have come to really like the wise Chinese proverb “yi zhong qiu tong,” which means seeking common ground while accepting differences. This is precisely the mindset that both countries need.

Nevertheless, the drugging of America continues—one Mayo Clinic study concluded that nearly seven out of ten Americans are taking prescription drugs, and a whopping 20 percent take five or more!

Giữa muôn trùng gió tuyết mịt mù, dường như nàng lại thấy một thiếu niên mình vận áo gấm, ung dung bước vào một tiệm mì lụp xụp, chậm rãi đưa tay giở vành nón trúc trên đầu.

Thật lâu sau, Vân Ca thổi tắt nến, đóng cửa sổ, để lại y ở bên ngoài thế giới của em. Đêm dài đằng đẵng, chỉ còn mình y ngây ngốc nơi này. Bóng tối tĩnh lặng, yên ắng tới mức có thể nghe được tiếng giọt sương rơi trên lá trúc.

Guan Zhong explains (as the fourth-century-BC Guanzi attests) that management of water is the key to maintaining social order. There are ‘five harmful influences’ in nature, he says, including drought and pestilence – but floods are the worst. Uncontrolled water has a symbolic as well as a pragmatic impact: it leads to the breakdown of filial piety and disintegration of social relations.

Thấy mệt không?” “Không mệt.” “Anh còn cõng em được bao lâu nữa?” “Rất lâu nữa.” “Rất lâu là bao lâu mới được?” “Rất lâu là rất lâu.” “Giả như đường rất ư rất ư là gập ghềnh khó đi, anh cũng sẽ cõng em chứ? Giả như anh đã mệt lắm mệt lắm rồi, anh vẫn sẽ cõng em chứ?” Vân Ca muốn nghe lời đáp chết được, nhưng bốn phía chỉ nghe ào ào gió nổi, lời đáp bị cuộn vào gió, nát tơi tả nát. Càng ráng sức lại càng muốn bể tai vì tiếng gió, em cứ gọi là cuống hết cả lên…

Mio padre suonava il violino, mia madre il qin. Ho scelto il primo, ma avrei potuto studiare tutti e due. A volte me ne sono pentito, perchè ci sono melodie cinesi che non posso suonare con il violino e che mia madre sarebbe stata felice che conoscessi. Mi raccontava la storia di Yu Boya, che era un grande suonatore di Qin. Aveva un amico del cuore, un taglialegna di nome Zhong Ziqi, e suonava per lui. Dicono che quando Yu Boya suonava una canzone ispirata all'acqua, il suo amico capiva subito che stava descrivendo torrenti impetuosi, e quando suonava qualcosa sulle montagne, Ziqi ne vedeva le cime. E Yu Boya diceva: ''È perchè capisci la mia musica.'' Jem abbassò lo sguardo sulla propria mano, leggermente serrata sul ginocchio. ''La gente usa ancora l'espressione ''zhi yin'' per dire ''amici intimi'', ma il suo significato letterale è ''capire la musica''.'' Allungò la mano e prese quella di Tessa. ''Quando suonavo, hai visto ciò che vedevo io. Hai capito la mia musica.'' ''Io non so niente di musica, Jem. Non distinguo una sonata da una partita...'' ''No... non è quella la musica che intendo. Io intendo...'' Fece un verso sconfortato, le prese la mano, se la portò al petto e la spinse contro il cuore. Il battito regolare martellò contro il palmo della ragazza. ''Ogni cuore ha la sua melodia. Tu conosci la mia.

Keberanian yang sesungguhnya datang dari kasih sayang. (Zhang Ren Zhong - Kenji)

在中国以外，没有哪个国家比法国的中共党员发挥了更大作用。

1949年以后，从法国回来的人在建设国家上扮演着独特的重要角色。

与中共的绝大多数领导人——包括1949年以前从未迈出国门一步的毛泽东——相比，这些从法国回来的人有着更开阔的国际视野。

中共严禁在党内搞派系，这些从法国回来的人也处事谨慎，以免被人视为派系，但是他们对于中国需要做些什么都有着特殊的理解。

Oh, Prince Rui, what is this? Why do you look so fragile?” Prince Zhong stood at the gates of the palace, and called out to Prince Rui. He bowed to Prince Rui with a smile. “When one gets old, you have to take care, and not get old ahead of your time.” “Thank you, Prince Zhong, for your reminder. This prince is a few years younger than you, and does not have much experience.

If the day comes where we are not together you will continue to shine like gold in my memories.

I was also bad in Zhong Guo because I asked questions that my teachers said were unnecessary. Once, I made the mistake of asking why two plus two equaled four. As punishment, the teacher forced me to write "Wo dui bu qi," I'm sorry, in characters one hundred times. Despite that it cost me an extra character per sentence, I proudly wrote instead: "Wo bu dui bu qui." I am not sorry. The teacher never noticed because it was not what we wrote that mattered. It was the ability to control us.

Then she would launch into questions, like should she ask Ba Ba for more cash for groceries? No, I'd say, we don't want to deal with his temper tonight. We had twenty dollars every week, and that would have to be enough. Should we go back to Zhong Guo? Yes, of course, always. China was home and America smelled like pee.

we can’t necessarily control the brain’s search for remote connections—much of which happens in the unconscious mind—but we can provide impetus and help guide that search by focusing on a problem to be solved, a challenging question to be answered. “Having that goal or that question you’re working on is very important,” Zhong confirms. If your conscious mind puts a big question out there, chances are good that your unconscious mind will go to work on it.

if you have a curious mind—and if you actively ask questions and gather knowledge to sate that curiosity—this also can aid in connective inquiry by providing “a plethora of raw materials to be connected,” as Zhong puts it. In particular, if your curiosity has been focused on a particular problem, and you’ve been doing deep thinking, contextual inquiry, questioning the problem from various perspectives and angles, asking your multiple Whys—it all becomes fodder for later insights and smart recombinations.

師爺文化部分繼承了刀筆吏的傳統，以心思細密和刻薄著稱，時刻不忘記將成本推到對方或社會頭上，利用義務落差在沒有優勢的地方創造優勢。

possibly at the Kaitokudō, one of the most prominent of the new schools chartered by the government to provide “an appropriately practical Confucian education” to the children of the merchant and artisan classes.8 The curriculum would have included the Confucian canon—the Four Books (Lun yü [Analects] of Confucius, Da xue [The Great Learning], Zhong yong [The Doctrine of the Mean], and Mengzi [Mencius]) and the Five Classics (I jing [The Book of Changes], Shu jing [The Book of Documents], Shi jing [The Book of Songs], Li ji [The Book of Rites], and Chun qiu [Spring and Autumn Annals])—and Japanese classics, especially waka (thirty-one-syllable court poems), Ise monogatari (Tales of Ise, ca. 947), and The Tale of Genji.

The new name did not change his nature, for he still didn’t sit still.

As for the ‘settling of accounts’ that Bao-yu had proposed to Qin Zhong, we have been unable to ascertain exactly what form this took; and as we would not for the world be guilty of a fabrication, we must allow the matter to remain a mystery.

However, he hadn’t been this close to an agent from the MSS, China’s intelligence organization, since his CIA cover had been blown and he was forced to escape back to the United States. As a wanted fugitive, he’d been sentenced to death in absentia, with his face well known to China’s authorities. If Zhong Lin even suspected who he was, he would be whisked out of Vietnam in shackles to Beijing for a swift execution. His current disguise was meant to prevent that from happening. The real David Yao was a member of the Ghost Dragon triad, one of Taiwan’s most notorious gangs. Yao was suspected of being responsible for numerous extortion, racketeering, and murder plots, but his mutilated body had been found floating

国共分裂后，党中央按照共产国际的指示，命令各地党员领导城市暴动。

邓小平在陕西按照党的指示向上海党的总部打报告，要求参加地下工作。

China discuss how they planned to leverage Jade Dragon and Dr. Zhong’s lab-created virus to defeat the West and lay claim to China’s manifest destiny.

Zhong has also shown the reverse process: immorality makes people want to get clean. People who are asked to recall their own moral transgressions, or merely to copy by hand an account of someone else’s moral transgression, find themselves thinking about cleanliness more often, and wanting more strongly to cleanse themselves.26 They are more likely to select hand wipes and other cleaning products when given a choice of consumer products to take home with them after the experiment. Zhong calls this the Macbeth effect, named for Lady Macbeth’s obsession with water and cleansing after she goads her husband into murdering King Duncan. (She goes from “A little water clears us of this deed” to “Out, damn’d spot! out, I say!”)

CV-17 Chinese Point name: Shan Zhong;20 English translation: “Chest Center;” Special Attributes: Intersection Point of the Spleen, Small Intestine, Triple Warmer and the Conception Vessel. Additionally, it is the alarm point for the Pericardium Meridian; Location: On the centerline of the body on the same level as the nipples; Western Anatomy: Branches of the internal mammary artery and vein are found with the anterior cutaneous branch of the fourth intercostal nerve; Comments: This is a major point of interest to combative martial artists. A blow to CV-17 can affect the electrical pattern of the heart resulting in arrhythmia. Western science refers to this as Commotio cordis and it is documented with strikes to the chest as in a baseball striking the chest of a child. While interviewing a former infantry point man who served in Vietnam confirmation was added to the lethality of a strike to CV-17. According to this individual, a life-long karate practitioner, while he was walking point one night he actually bumped into an enemy soldier who was traveling down the same trail from the opposite direction. The American struck the Viet Cong with a strong punch to CV-17 killing him instantly. His small frame combined with the larger stature of the American allowed for a perfect 45-degree strike (strikes to CV-17 should be downward at a 45-degree angle). These strikes will generally be open palm or hammer fist type strikes given the height of an average sized opponent and the location of the point. Additional energetic disruption can be added by rotating your striking hand outward on contact.

When you conceal your will from others, that is Thick. When you impose your will on others, that is Black.

There are no guidelines to being a perfect person, as perfect doesn’t really exist, only our views of what perfect is—there are no guidelines to living life the right way. We learn through experience, through trial and error, and it makes us wiser in the end.

What an unpredictable and alienlike creature he is. That is indeed my friend, my cat.
