Do Not Assist grudge holders
To put it this way, whoever becomes cynical and full of resentment, your best choice is to stay away from them.
This does not affect the contractual relationship of survival - for example, if you owe someone debt, you still have to pay it back, and it’s even better to pay it back quickly.
Existing contracts must also be executed, and even more strictly enforced. However, this relationship must be pulled apart. Don’t have any entanglement because of friendship or sympathy.
If you are in distress ...
The Brutal Limits
The extent to which the universe can be “cruel” to humanity is solely determined by the laws of physics.
Anything that is physically possible can happen to you. If you want to understand these limits, the most effective method is to study physics, not to read a collection of tragic stories. Just because no one has written about a possible unlucky event in physics doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
When arranging the plot of the world, God does not consider the variable of “how tragic it is”. He basic ...
WORKER
#WORKER#
There is a certain kind of happiness that I hope you will not miss: being a WORKER.
I do not mean labor, nor job, affair, business, or even duty.
I mean, please, work on something hard, persistent, with resilience, to the limit, and go beyond those limits.
A worker is not “a person who lives on salary.”
NO, NOT AT ALL.
A worker is a person who makes something work, just like a cooler is a tool that makes something cool.
“Coincidentally”, Making something work is exactly the very work ...
Who was Lin Biao? Did he escape China?
Lin Biao (林彪) was an outstanding military leader of modern China, and he personally loyal to China and Mao. He was a senior cadre trained by Mao Zedong, and neither he nor his four subordinates Huang Yongsheng (黃永勝), Wu Fa Xian (吳法憲), Li Zuopeng (李作鵬) and Qiu Huizuo (邱會作) had the gene to betray Mao. (I don’t really believe in revisionist history)
But in his later years he had a son called Lin Liguo (林立果), who was spoiled by his wife and who became a playboy; he was lustful and loved power.
Lin ...
Why are Chinese not able to understand a foreigner if he makes a small mistake when speaking Mandarin, whereas I can understand foreigners making multiple mistakes in English and with funky accents?
Because even one tone error changes the meaning of the sentence completely.
In English, we put stress on different syllables.
economy - the stress is on the second syllable.
economist - the stress is also on the second syllable.
economics - the stress is on the third syllable.
I have come across non-native speakers of English who, when saying “economics”, place the stress on the second syllable. It sounds out of place sure, but I still know what they’re referring to.
Same with “photography”. The ...
Eliminating the vicious power
Whenever there is an economic downturn or social unrest, the gangsters worry, because it signals the start of a season of crime-fighting and suppression of evil.
Normally, society is peaceful and orderly, but these battles are often treated as minor security incidents. However, a poor landscape can easily lead to widespread public concern and insecurity.
A typical case of civilian deaths can cause a significant outcry. To quell this anger, the government typically takes two actions: providing r ...
Never hit a blind person
Never hit a blind person
Someone asked, “How to fight back against the people who sarcastic you?”
Let’s think about it, if a blind person runs into you, would you beat he/she up?
So, the thing you should do is to re-signal to make sure that the person is indeed “blind”.
If you find out that the person is indeed “blind”, you will naturally have no idea of “fighting back”.
You should consider the fact that he or she must lead a very difficult life if they find it difficult to get along with someo ...
Why do people of Russia and China look so different in spite of close proximity?
Because you look at “wrong” Russians.
That’s a female Buryats Russian living in the Republic of Buryatia (in red)
Typical Russians originates from west to Ural Mountain. It’s thousands of miles away from China. No wonder they look very different.
Other than its traditional significance, is there any other reason why Chinese schools don't just teach Pinyin instead of thousands of Chinese characters?
This exact debate has happened in China. A poet wrote this poem to explain the problem of only using pinyin:
“Shi and the Ten Stone Lions”: Riddle or Nonsense? & Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den - Wikipedia
Since no one can solve the problem the attempt to get rid of character has mostly stopped.
Update:
One of the things that I’ve noticed about modern Mandarin is that most words now come in pairs that often have almost the same meanings or are combined to mean something. If there is no se ...
Anger Management
Anger Management
First, live among people who love you, so that the consequences of your anger will often be naturally dissipated.
It is not just a matter of being useless and harmful to not be angry with someone who is unloving to you. The most important thing is that loveless people do not deserve it.
Second, don’t look at getting angry as a sign of justice.
Don’t feel that because you are all riled up and you must be on the side of justice - this is also the fundamental reason why countless ...
