心中殘存正氣。

火花半朵微開。

昏黑之中有我。

What is this light for?

 20260421

What is this light for?



This light,  is a tiny spot in the center of the universe.   This light is the life of lives.  This light is the breath of humans.  This light is the hope of hopes.

We are at the center of the universe.

We are the only sparkle of life in this universe.

We are everything.

The universe is dead without us.

We are strong because we have a strong mind.

We are hope because we are going forward.

That is the ultimate reason why we are here.

Can the heavens do without humans?

 20260420

Can the heavens do without humans?




This is a question that I can only keep in my mind and I wonder whether it could be answered.

The meaning of the question is :  "what is the role of humans?"   

What are we for?

And the answer is only from imagination.

I think none of  the answers is sustainable.

It means I don't know.

Humans is just like a flower growing suddenly in the wilderness.

No one knows where does it come from.

And the only allowance for humans is that you should be growing.

It is an order from nowhere.

But you can keep that in mind and work for it.

Where am I from?

I don't know..

Where are you going to?

I don't know.

What are you doing here?

I shall be doing my best.

And I think this is the only answer I can give.

Because I know I dont know.

Why human is the greatest puzzle?

 20260419

Why human is the greatest puzzle?



If you look up at the night skys in the universe,   it's all dark, quiet, with a far away glittering little blue ribbon floating freely.

It is life emerging.  

And human is the center of all lives.

No one knows why.

In the philosophy of the universe, it needs not a reason for everything.   It is there and it is there.

Its for our curiosity to figure out why.  Humans need to have a reason for everything.    But it is only for humans. It is not for cats and dogs and others.

Your cat never ask you why.

You can call that a puzzle.

You can keep it in your mind,  just in case someone will ask you why,  and you need to have an answer for everything,  because you are human.

You can create an answer for your role.

Why am I here?

I'm here to help.

Why am I here?

I am here to destroy.

Answers might be different.   It all depends on your thought.

You'll find it painful if your thoughts are wrong.

You'll find it meaningful if your thoughts are in the correct path.

It is all up to you.

It is all up to us humans.

And I hope you are not choosing the wrong path.   It is too painful to sustain.

And the question is not answered:

Why human is the greatest puzzle?

We are here to create and to build.

To build a good place for us all.

Why Africa is forgotten?

 20260418

Why Africa is forgotten?



"Africa" is seldrom in the minds of modern people. More concerns are about animals in Africa.  Maybe lots of things are happenning but few noticed.

Our planet is growing separately.   One wonders what will the total scenery be like in the coming years.

Some of the African countries know English, Spanish, or Portuguese.   Do they know Chinese? Is it easy for them to learn some Chinese?

The world is a strange world.

Being forgotten is better than being noticed.

I hope African people can develop themselves peacefully.

However, they can not be staying  away from the cultural influences of the world.

The cultural conflict between the East and the West will soon reflect in Africa.

Chinese and English languages will be the main issue in Africa in the coming years.

  






note

Africa is a continent with extraordinary linguistic diversity, where over 2,000 languages are spoken. The most spoken languages include both indigenous tongues and those introduced through history, serving as vital tools for communication, trade, and governance.

Here is a breakdown of the most widely spoken languages:


· Arabic: Around 150 million speakers. Predominantly in North Africa (e.g., Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan).

· French: Around 120 million speakers. A legacy language, widely used in 21 countries as an official or second language (e.g., Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, DRC).

· Swahili (Kiswahili): Up to 150 million speakers. A Bantu language serving as a lingua franca for East Africa (official in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda).

· Hausa: Around 70-85 million speakers. A major Chadic language, used as a trade language across West Africa (Nigeria, Niger, Ghana).

· Yoruba: Around 45 million speakers. A tonal Niger-Congo language, primarily in southwestern Nigeria, Benin, and Togo.

· Igbo: Around 30-40 million speakers. Another major Nigerian language, spoken mainly in the country's southeastern region.

· Amharic: Around 57 million speakers. The official language of Ethiopia, with a unique script and central to the country's identity.

· Oromo: Around 30-40 million speakers. A Cushitic language, most widely spoken in Ethiopia (over 40% of the population) and parts of Kenya.

· Portuguese: Around 30 million speakers. The official language of several African countries, including Angola and Mozambique.

· Zulu: Around 27 million speakers. A Nguni language known for its distinctive click consonants, widely spoken in South Africa.

What would wars be like in the future?

20260417

  What would wars be like in the future?




Future soldiers or future diplomats or future politicians will be perfect nice guys.

What is a perfect nice guy?

You will love the guy at first glance.

You will surrender immediately if you see "him".

Sorry, I have to use the word "him" instead of "her"

It is because in English usage,   you cannot find out a third person pronoun for both male or female.

However, it is not important.

Important is you will surrender immediately.

Maybe he's got some electric magnetism in his eyeballs.

You cannot resist and then you surrender.

It is not a future invention.

It is equipped in everyone on earth.

Just no one knows that he has got such power........

Yes, you have it and I have it too.

It is a long, long time for us to discover it in the future.

Future wars will be wonderful.

How do the Chinese "think" with a non-spelling language?

 20260416

 How do the Chinese "think" with a non-spelling language?



Can you think without the help of a language?

What if I don't have any language in my brain:  can I still think?   Can a baby think properly? My guess is yes. You can think, even without knowing the exact terms of the situation. Language is only a media which can help in the thinking process.  Many people have the same experience that sometimes they cannot express it, but they knew it.

I believe some people can think in color or think in music.  I believe they are specially talented. If you have learned Chinese poems,  it can help to express it in a better poetic scene.  Your world will be more beautiful with a poem.

There will not be always poems.   But the basic unit of a thought is in words, in Chinese.  I guess the words are moving  within the brain when you think.  Languages could be only a help.   I believe humans can think directly without any help of languages, pictures or scientific tools.   People would say it is intuition.  Most of the time, external help can only hinder, but not help.

Are the Chinese gifted?

 20260415

Are the Chinese gifted?





Yes, they are.

They are gifted with more than a piece of good land.  They are gifted with a medium size of body structure.

And the most important of all is that they are gifted with a non-spelling language.

That means they are gifted with a special brain different from most other nations.

The non-spelling feature is more than a language ability.

When you don't need to "spell" your language,  you are using the other parts of the brain.

It is not a more advanced feature:   And I need to repeat it as it is not more advanced,  it is only different.

When all languages need to spell a word with lots of  letters,  plus a long string of sounds,  the Chinese needs not to spell.

They can use less brain in producing a word.

Well,  its strange:  "Aren't you using lesser brain in writing and talking?"

And the answer might be yes.

"Using less brain"  is funny,  it seems to be a joke.  But actually it needs more study. There are not enough study about it now.

Allocation of brain energy is a huge subject to study.

What if you are not gifted?

 20260414

What if you are not gifted?  



There might be only one out of a billion is specially gifted.

All other people are also gifted but not specially gifted.

But I might be wrong.

I might be completely wrong.

Because the gifts are not given.

Gifts are the result of your own effort.

Gifts are taken.

But still I am not sure about that.

No matter you are gifted or not gifted:  Only one thing is important:   You can take.

God can take and god can give...... It is the general belief of old humans.

What they don't believe is they can take and they can give.

Yes, I can take and I can give.  And you can take and you can give.

People never ask themselves:  "am I gifted?" when they are gifted.

They are only working for it.

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?

 20260414

How to use a ruler to measure the distance between stars?



The above question is only a joke. There is no ruler or any measure tools to measure the universe.

You can imagine.

However,  human imagination is limited.  We have only one tool,  I suppose.   I hope some other tools can be used.   For example, can you use the heart to imagine rather than the brain?

There will be no answer either.

You have been given only a slide ruler.   How can you use a slide ruler to examine the distance?

In this case, it needs a second thought.

You might need to use some other means to farthom the reality.

It remains the eternal question for humans:

Where are we and what are we for?

You'll find wars and many other human behaviors meaningless and childish. 

People will not be stopped until they are lost.

And, questions will remain unanswered if they win.

They will never know the truth even if they win money in the battles.


Joke:

The best negotiation table is on the space.   Invite them to join a party far away outside the solar system.   It will be easier for them to settle down.

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?

20260413

Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?



This is the debate happened in China 2000 years ago.   It has a deep influence in Chinese cultural development.

The anti-Zhongtsz people were against any quest for the universal truth.   They thought everything is included in the holy books.....it has created a bad thinking habit since.

The original is like this:  吾生也有涯,而知也無涯。以有涯隨無涯,殆已!

Its not the idea of Zhongtsz,  but was put into the mouth of Zhongtsz by Anti-Zhongtsz people.  It has created much confusion in the past.

Up till this moment,  there are still lots of people indifferent to any thing other then  entertaining or  money searching.

Therefore, the question always remains:

"Is it stupid to search for unlimited knowledge through a limited lifespan?"

The choice is yours.

What is the above?

  20260412

What is the above?


Suppose you can fly.   Suppose you can fly high on the sky.   Suppose you can fly outside the sky.  Suppose you can fly far far away.   For how long? 100 years, I suppose.   And of course, you can change that.   If you can manage your spirit and bring it up to another level thousands more,  can the outcome become clearer?  


You have only a little measurement of a hundred years.  

Can the hundred year  measure the unlimited far end of this universe?

I am not very optimistic about this, but still you can try.

This is called the "situation" (勢) of humans.

It is extremely important whether you know this situation or not knowing this situation.(知形不知勢)

You'll be more humble and doing things in a proper way.

If you know you are not equipped with  unlimited power,  if you know you have a limitation for you,  will you dare to do more?

Yes, the human nature brings out an answer:   Yes, we dare.


And a little advice would be advisable:

Yes, we dare and we care.

You can reach a certain goal hopefully with that.

Why culture is important?

 20260411

Why culture is important?



Politics is the structure, but culture is the spirit.

If you have a good spirit, you can build a good structure. And nothing can be achieved without the inner strength of spirit.

If a country is strong,  it is strong from inside.

Culture is not easy to explain in simple words. Even though sometimes you can use a few lines or a few words to define the way you want to do.   But the hidden inner feeling can never be expressed simply.

Culture can be a song, a story or a book.   Culture is the soft size of human spirit.  Politics is more like an action taken.

A good culture can make politics easier to carry on. It needs less discipline and less regulations.   People will do things automatically through a good spirit.  And it is ideal.

If you can sing your hearts out,   you don't need to shout, and you don't need to shoot.

Culture is the long term planning of civilization.

Only the problem is people do not know how to do it.

Why Hong Kong has got the highest fuel price?

 20260410  B

Why Hong Kong has got the highest fuel price in the whole world?




Question:   is it political or  artificially raised?


Based on the available data, here are the places with the highest gasoline prices in the world. The data consistently confirms Hong Kong as having the most expensive fuel globally .


🌍 Top 10 Most Expensive Places for Fuel


Rank Location Approximate Price (USD per liter) Key Context

1 Hong Kong (SAR of China) ~$3.97  World's most expensive; high taxes and land costs drive prices .

2 Malawi ~$2.86  Landlocked African nation with high transport costs.

3 Netherlands ~$2.42  High taxes and stringent environmental policies.

4 Denmark ~$2.36  High fuel taxes, even higher than Hong Kong as a % of price .

5 Norway ~$2.35 - $2.22  High taxes despite being a major oil producer .

6 Germany ~$2.20  Europe's largest economy with high excise duties.

7 Singapore ~$2.17  Regional financial hub with limited domestic market.

8 Finland ~$2.27  Nordic taxation model for environmental goals.

9 Belgium ~$2.23  High VAT and excise duties on petroleum products.

10 France ~$2.19  Significant taxes to fund public services and discourage car use.


Note: Prices fluctuate daily due to global oil prices and exchange rates. This ranking is based on data from late March to early April 2026 .


🧐 Why Is Fuel So Expensive in These Places?


The primary reason these locations top the list is high government taxation, which is often used to fund social services, discourage car use, and meet climate goals . For example, while Hong Kong has a fixed fuel tax, the percentage of taxes in the final price of fuel in European countries like Denmark or the Netherlands can be as high as 50% to 60%, which is significantly higher .


The high ranking of places like Hong Kong and Singapore is compounded by other unique factors, such as extremely high land costs for fuel stations and the fact that they are city-states or cities that must import all their refined fuel .


🏁 A Note on Price Comparisons


It is important to note that the final price at the pump can be very different from the price of crude oil. For example, while the US was experiencing a national average of around $4.00 per gallon (approx. $1.06 per liter) in early April 2026 due to global tensions , this is still far lower than the prices listed above because of much lower fuel taxes .



Why is the Hong Kong fuel price three times that of Shenzhen?

 20260410  

Why is the Hong Kong fuel price three times that of Shenzhen?


It has been lasting  for an extremely long time. Hong Kong transport  are suffering from high prices of fuel. It is directly influential to the Hong Kong economy.    There must be a reason behind it.  Actually the fuel in Hong Kong is from mainland China.  The five oil companies have been raising the price together to an unreasonable high.   Yet there is no control.

Some of the oil companies are from China,   but they are same with the other foreign companies.  They do not offer a lower price. (There might be more complicated reasons behind.)

It is strange,  but it has been lasting for a long time.



Below is a list from an AI machine


目前三地的汽油价格差距悬殊,深圳的油价最低,大约是香港的三分之一,澳门则处于中间位置。


以下是具体价格对比(数据截至2026年3月底):

· 深圳 (内地):约 7.7 - 9.5 元 (人民币/升)。按当前汇率折算约 8.2 - 10.2 港币,是三地中最低的。

· 澳门:约 15.05 元 (澳门币/升)。按当前汇率折算约 14.6 港币,价格比内地高,但比香港便宜。

· 香港:21.29 - 23.79 港币/升。这通常是各油站优惠后的价格,挂牌价则在 31.79 港币 左右。


三地油价差异悬殊,核心原因未明。


1. 税负差异

(稅項不是香港油價高的原因。除稅後的計算,香港仍是最高。)

   · 香港:燃油税极高,每升汽油征收约 6.06港币 的消费税。

   · 澳门:燃油税相对较低,每升约 2.0-2.5澳门币,所以油价处于中间水平。

   · 深圳:油价虽含增值税、消费税等,但整体税负比港澳低。加上内地有价格调控(天花板价),避免油价过高。

2. 市场与成本

   · 香港:市场由少数公司主导(如壳牌、埃索),竞争较弱。同时土地、仓储、人工成本,可能进一步推高价格。

   · 深圳:内地炼油能力大,供应稳定。中石油、中石化等国企零售网络密集,区域竞争拉低了终端价格。

3. 定价机制

   · 香港、澳门:由油公司決定,价格随国际油价和成本自由浮动(?)

   · 深圳:实行政府指导价,每10个工作日调整一次,有“天花板价”和“地板价”限制,避免价格剧烈波动。



根据截至 2026年4月4日 的最新数据,香港五大油公司的门市折后价如下。


香港五大油公司汽油折后价对比 


油公司 汽油种类 门市折后价 (港币/升) 零售牌价 (港币/升)

Shell (蜆殼) 标准/特级无铅汽油 $21.89 $32.39

Caltex (加德士) 标准无铅汽油 $25.19 $32.X19

 特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

Esso (埃索) 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

中石化 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

中石油 标准/特级无铅汽油 $25.39 $32.39

What is heartless?

 20260409

What is heartless?




Not all politics are heartless.   Politics can be  communications and not wars.

Heartless approach can be the behaviour of a special kind of brain function.   Some people can only use their left brain to calculate.   They can not use the right brain to know the total situation,   and they cannot use the emotion part of the brain to feel it.   When they can only calculate,  they will become ruthless.    They will not consider how people suffer,   they can only calculate incomes.

It's  heartless for some people.

Question is, do we need a heart  to handle international politics?

Politics will be more vividly clear in the views of a heart.   Politics cannot be only figures and numbers. It is too old fashioned.  Politics cannot neglect  feelings.

However, it is only a theory.  It is not a real situation.  

Modern science can spot and kill anyone by a remote control.  If you do not have similar device to avoid detection,  it would be extremely dangerous.

Can you hide yourself?

Smaller countries are vulnerable and easily be eaten alive.

It is a heartless situation.

How to beat wolves?

 20260409

How to beat wolves?


I have experience in fighting dogs,  but never fighting wolves.

To fight a dog is easy.  Most of the time you won't have a weapon at hand.   The dogs would bark and follow you.   You tried to walk slowly away.   But the dogs will follow.  They were more dangerous in night time,  or in silent streets.   I was followed a few minutes,   The teeths were almost on my trouser. I suddenly turn around,   the dogs were scared and turned away.

However, wolves won't be scarced.

What if you were surrounded by wolves?

I read from an old story:   A man was surrounded by wolves,   his friend came with a horse to rescue him.  The horse was running fast and the man drew him on the horseback and speed away.

What if you have no friends to help?

And what if you are alone?

You need to have wisdom and bavery to survive.

And you need to be well prepared.

You can't wait until things happen.




note 

Here are short stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese old book (Liaozhai Zhiyi) about butchers and wolves.


 (The Greedy Wolf)

A butcher carrying leftover meat in a hook came across a wolf following him. Fearing for his life, he hung the meat on a tree branch and showed the wolf his empty basket. The wolf left. The next morning, the butcher returned to find the wolf dead—it had leaped for the meat, got caught on the hook, and was hanging from the branch.


 (The Farmer’s Trick)

A butcher hid in a small shed when wolves tried to attack. A wolf reached a claw through a gap. The butcher grabbed it, cut a small slit in the skin, and blew air into it like he would a pig’s carcass. The wolf swelled up like an ox and couldn’t escape.

What price you are prepared to pay?

 20260406

What price you are prepared to pay?



There is a price for everything.    You need to pay a price for your award,  or your punishment if you are not awared.

Price is never an easy thing.

Sometimes the price is so big, it is more than your life.

But still you need to pay for it.   It is no exception.

But the worse part of the price is hesitation.

It is more or less the same as greed.

If you want too much, you need to pay.

If you refuse to pay too much, still you need to pay.

Isn't it wonderful?

People who refuse to pay will suffer more.

There is no free lunch.

What is the future of the three kingdoms?

 20260405 

What is the future of the three kingdoms?




The absolute result is:    There will not be three kingdoms in the future.    There will only be one dominant power on this planet.   The three kingdoms balance will maintain only for a short time,   it will not be forever.

Imminent is the Taiwan issue.

Taiwan issue is US-China issue.

There will be only one result:  Either the East wins or the West wins.    There shall not be any illusion. And there shall not be any non-practical imagination.

The conflict will not be dissolved or disappeared.  Conflict will become stronger and stronger until one day,  there will be a war.

The war might be a soft war or a hard war.

The determined side will win.   The un-determined side will lose.

There will be no room for a happy ending.

Only one will be happy.

There will not be a free-lunch.   The United States will not give up Taiwan.   The conflict will not be settled by negotiation.   There will be no use for talking.

The United States needs to prepare for a bad result for themselves. If  serious  conflict really happen,  they need to prepare a lost inside the land of the United States.  There will not be any guarantee for the safety inside the soil of the US.  Same is China.  

If anyone side is weakened in their will, they must prepare for a bad losing.

Wars are determined first by the will,  any other consideration is secondary.

The so-called three kingdoms  will not be really a three-side situation.

There will be only one major conflict.


note:

China is in the defensive side, US is in the attacking side.

The defensive side is easy to have illusions.

How to win over a pretty woman?


It is the basic requirement of a man.   If you don't know how to conquer a woman, how can you conquer the world?   If you cannot reach the mind of your love,   how can you reach the mind of your universe?

It is more than a love approach,   it is the dedication of your whole self into this universe. 

To reach the unreachable star.

The idea is simple,  the aim is sacred.

Prepare yourself and your heart.

Sorry, I have to interrupt a little here:  Its more than a love affair, it is politics.

Politics is love.

What is the use of a closed palm(合什)?




It will close the circuit of your inner energy if you put your palms together and close them.

And then the qi can be flowing  in a circular way within.

How qi can be related to health?

 20260402

How qi can be related to health?



For the time being,  its only a kind of heresay,  or a method not accepted by academic people.

Many people believe it. it can help in a certain way of healing.

It is not hundred percent perfect.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.  It depends, but no one knows what it depends.

Anyone can try it with his own experience.

And it is possible to find qi in your body.

One will be very healthy if one knows how to  activate qi.

It is possible to heal minor health issues with qi.

But I don't know whether qi can help in serious sickness.   Because I have never tried.

I do hope qi can be deeply studied and  developed like any other medical science.

Qi is still the same for the last 10 years in the  medical  circle.

There is no progress in studying qi.

Why it is important to search the universe?



Actually we humans are in a completely blind situation.

We  know only an extremely small part of the total reality of the human situation.

We don't know where are we from.   We don't know where are we going to.  We don't know why we need to live on the planet.   We don't know the role and the aim of our planet earth.

But we need to change our mindset.

I hope humans can know more about this planet and the future of our situation.

It is like a great building of no end.   Each of us can come to work for a little while only.  No one knows the ultimate purpose of this great work.   But still we are working on it.   Only imagination can help a little bit.   You can only imagine.

Some people cannot imagine.  They can only calculate.  But calculation is useless in our  situation.  

We are oblidged to work for an unknown purpose.

An unknown purpose cannot be calculated in the amount of the money you earn.  You can work for only a little while and then you have to leave.

It will be ok if your work is welcomed.   And it will be sad if your work is rejected..... Not everyone can know the value of everything.    But still you are working on it.   You are answerable only to the unknown....or,  to the God you choose.

It is absurd.   But everyone is working on it.   It is because you need to eat.  

Maybe you can think more.

You will feel better if you can think positively.

And there is always a time for you to get back to work.   And you are warned not to ask anymore.

Only because someone is preparing a war.

And you'll be a slave after the war.

The writer will be in Guizhou 貴州 for a short tour from April 2-7

Why no one has ever come back?

 20260401 B

Why no one has ever come back?


Yes, it is a little disappointed. Actually, no one has come back. All the kings and common folks, heroes and villains, good people and bad people,  no one has ever come back.   Some historical great people promised to come back but they didn't.   Even Jesus did not come back.

They were gone like the silver stars.   They were gone like a great river of silver stars on the heaven.  They are many.  Many are sparkling like a star in the dark nights.

Where are they now?

It is extremely disappointing sometimes.   Some of them are adorable, but you can never reach them.

Nor they can never reach you.

What do you call this?

It is loneliness.

It is the complete sadness of human beings.

Where are you my love?

Can't  you hear me?

They were always silent. 

Like what?

Like you and me.

It is so sad.

It is really bad.

Why gone people are never back?

Why gone people are never back?




Because they are never gone.

Because they are here.

All the people are here.

My father, my mother, my grandfather, and my grandmother, etcetera and etcetera, are all here.


River flows

Water remains

Waves are home

Where are you, my love?

Where are you,  my mind?

I am happy you are with me



大江日夜向東流, 波濤滾滾是鄉愁;

高天上下人何在, 在你在我在深秋。

 



note

The line "etcetera and etcetera" are from a movies: " The king and I ".   I still remember how the actor said that.
