UNIVERSE MAN

 宇宙人

李杜人不見，詩篇萬口傳。

生命藏生命，人類變神仙。

靈性包萬有，智慧若湧泉。

百千萬年後，你我手牽手。

將來何所往，大路未難搜。

你知我亦知，一直往上走。

花開千萬朵，朵朵有顏色。

人生千萬世，世世有光輝。

宇宙藏奧秘，一瓣一瓣開。

人間有勇毅，心血氣力齊。

尋得真與美，天地一善哉。

The Universe Man

You will not see the great poets, but they are always here with their words.

Life is in life,  humans will be angels.

Spirits are in the universe,  wisdom coming up like spring.

We shall be walking hand in hand, thousands of years in time.

Where are we going?  The road is easy to search.

Both you and I knew it well,  it's all the way up.

There are millions of flowers,  each one has its own color.

There are millions of life spans,  each of them are bright.

There is a secret in the universe,  It's opening  one by one  like flowers.

Bravery and perseverance are here,  we search with our heart,  our blood, our qi  and our strength.

Until one day  we have found the truth and the beauty.

It's all the good in the universe for us.

@ i do hope some one would translate it better.

這邊的陽光

 

花木扶疏有敗枝

潔淨藍天霧靄移

據説這邊樣樣好

美艷陽光喚我時

What is the real situation in China?

A last year scene to review today........

9300  What is the spirit in Beijing University   20210721

"One must live for a great cause",  my teacher wrote for me in my Junior high school graduation ceremony. I kept that in memory and will never forget. 

"One must build his self-respect", this is the line given to the students in a graduation ceremony in Beijing University recently. 

It is contrary to the spirit of China. China is a good example of human evolution. Humans have been changing from a self-interest period to a co-operation period. Selfless dedication is the new spirit in China. To serve the people is the goal for the best students in China.  

A representative of the teachers gave a short speech in the ceremony and won many applauses. It was the response from the students which is an alert to see how the spirit in Beijing University has been decaying. 

Self-honor, Self-trust, Self-illumination, Self-assurances, Self-love, etc. were the theme of the so-called self-respect. Its all centered in the self while the main trend of   a selfless dedication spirit to serve the people was neglected. 

The speaker did not mention about the people and the country. His concern was how should one build his own self-respect only. That is Confucian doctrine. And the spirit of Confucianism must have been creeping in the University for a long time.........

Students gave long applause for the speaker. The moral in Beijing University was shown in that moment.

Why Russia will win?

 9373   Why Russia will win?   20220522

It’s confused at first. But now the situation is very clear, Russia will win. 

War is not determined by GDP or how much money they have. War is determined by strength. And strength is not necessary money or weapon, but the inner power to use the resources.

Proxy means you pay someone to do something. But the proxy guy is not your own arm nor your inner power. He has got his own mind and his own method, he would take your money, maybe  your external advice, too. But when the counterpart is more determined and can manage inner resources to fight in the war field, he has got a much bigger chance to win. Because he is doing things on his own. He is not relying on the external proxy guy. 

Russia will win the game slowly but steadily.  The fate of history will tell the world whether Biden can last his term or not. As outsiders will see, Biden is also in a proxy situation. He has got a team of people on his back; he is merely a poor proxy actor on stage. Secret bosses are behind the scene. He had been sent to Ukraine at the very beginning and now he was sent to Asia to negotiate the countries.   

Maybe he is lucky to have China as his counterpart. 

Because China is in a proxy situation too. And China is not in a completely stable condition. 

To compare Xi and Mao, you will see China is weakly organized and the spirit is low. The low spirit is shown in their literature, in the Internet, in music……., many people are looking at their own purse more than to serve the people. They have long forgotten how to serve the people, as China has not shown a strong spirit to love and to serve. That meant they will have a much difficult time to face the Taiwan problem. It seems they are undecided in the language issue. How can the Taiwan people love you if you talk like a foreigner?  And use a different writing language?  Do they know how much the people of Taiwan hated the simplified language? 

It will not be a proxy game if troops were sent instead of mind to beat Taiwan. You will lose your own blood. The weakness is clear in the eyes of the whole world. It could be a very bad proxy game if you handle your own spirit through the hands of external people. Proxy in the mind is the rule of failure. 

China is strong in beating the virus, it is not proxy, as the work is clearly seen by all the world. 

But they had put the important spirit issue to the hands of others, and even secret agents from outside.  

Whenever you turn on a mobile, you will see what are the spirits in China. They are keen to work on the 5G, but not on the contents of the internet in the mobile. You saw only low taste in a high-tech device. Cheap philosophies are everywhere. People might not aware that the cheap philosophies were not cheap at all, they were paid secretly in high prices. And it is secretly organized. It is not the same in the older newspaper period, when people were working very hard to prepare the high-quality contents of the newspaper more than the printing qualities.   

China is not in a stable situation but China is in a lucky period when the US is aiming at the Ukraine issue hard. However, The US is actually aiming at China more than Ukraine. They knew that they are going to lose in the Ukraine battle and that is a matter of time. But they will not give up the chance to beat China when China is in a confused situation of mind and spirit. 

China will face a big change if troops were sent before the language issue was settled. 

And the language issue is only a first test of the Chinese spirit. They will have a bad time if the test is failed. 

Spirits are not for proxy compromises. Spirits are the inner fire to stand up on your own. You need to fight hardly to keep it. 

  

Will China be forced to take action?

 9372  Will China be forced to take action?   22020510

It is a so-called proxy war in Ukraine. It seemed to be a civilized war. The war had set for itself a limit and the limit should be observed and not be broken. 

It seems some giants are fighting on a cliff. Each one should be careful not be pushed to the cliff edge. 

But I doubt about the wisdom of the fighters. 

They had not been studied carefully enough where is the cliff edge. 

What would the outcome be for the different sides? 

If the US is determined to delete one of the balance powers on this planet, do they know the consequence?

The only winner would be China, if the US did not take any action to delete China, too. It is not because they had forgotten something but that they were doing that secretly. Some people had maintained again and again that they couldn't delete China, but other people do not think so. 

Will the final winner be not China but the US? 

Though they had not studied their own problems within. 

It could not be a really civilized war if the sides are hot-eyed. 

It seems to be easy as it is only proxy and they only need to pay the numbers. And the US is in a situation of no helpers. NATO is a group of people only know how to follow but never consider anything other than orders from their boss. History would sigh for the glorious past of those people. 

If they can think.......

They would know if the conflict is going on like this without drawing back, then they are simply pushing China to take action.

It seems to be unfair for a civilized war if all the powers are for the US and the EU people are pouring gun powders into the fire without stopping and Russia is having no weapons from their friend circle. Doesn't any one find it a little bid absurd? 

Any one with a quiet mind would ponder why. 

Aren't the sides forcing China to step in? 

Maybe China is determined also. Maybe China is very clear about the outcome. And the war won't be a long one as history calculates in hundreds and thousands; though a  few months would change everything to break the silence. 

I hope every one is ready for the broken future.  

 

 

 

Will China be a Home of Minds for Deserted Souls?

 9371  Will China be a home of minds for  deserted souls?   20220514

When I was meditating about  Taiwan Straits, some findings were very uneasy for me though I had found the best solution to capture minds in this matter was to promote Traditional Chinese language which will be welcome by all and settle the minds in Taiwan. 

The uneasy part was the extremely low birth rate of  Taiwan women, which is even lower than Japan.

Some people worried for the Japanese that if birth rate keep going down and can never make up the lost of aged people, then one day Japan will be disappeared from the planet. I personally do not believe such things will happen. The problem of Japan could be a wrong design of their culture. If one day some very smart leader find out the real scenario of their future and understood it might be the result of their language and the language problem had diverted their way of thoughts then Japan maybe saved. 

Japanese language is a completely left-brain-oriented language though they had used Chinese characters a lot. Left-oriented way  of thoughts had brought them to a calculation-minded  thinking when the other side of  brain function is neglected. If future leaders could see deeply into the problem, birth rate problem would be solved.

Several Asian places had recorded very low birth rate in recent years. Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have less people born and more people left. 

 People prefer to keep pets than to raise babies. You see prams with pets but not babies. There are more pets than children everywhere. People trust their pets more than another human being. 

It is emptiness in soul.

People just lost their motives of life as pets provide a temporary comfort for them. Many deny they need any comfort from pets. They have only appetites, not comforts, not to mention aims in life and motives in a higher angle. 

Materialism came from money culture and worst still, political powers instill cheap philosophies to promote a sense of uncertainty for the young people. Power people say, "There is no after life, there is only this life." ( 有今生無來世 ) Seldom could anyone aware this is to isolate the individual and delete the culture tradition for them. Their souls are taken away. All the history and the country are worthless if only one single life is real.  This is the reason for selfishness and reason why people cannot love and cannot have their children and ancestors to be proud of. 

This is a serious pollution of mind. 

Lonely minds were from a polluted culture. There were modern Ah Qs. The age old feudalism is still functioning in a modern mind. Feudalism is the origin of selfishness and when dirty thoughts were wrapped up in colorful decorations, young people were lost. 

How can they have babies when they cannot see tomorrow?

When their love ones are the ones that cannot be trusted, as everything is based on money, how can they feel safe to look ahead? They would say I love you today, and by tomorrow they say that word to another. 

People felt deserted.

And the only safety is in money, and money is never enough to keep oneself safe. 

People cannot see life in terms of culture, and they have no sense of history. It is funny to think about future. They do not know what is the aim to work for. 

And this is the real scenario in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japan is the most serious case, the others are  just catching up. 

And from this point we could see  Taiwan Straits issue and Hong Kong issue are extremely important, as they are parts of China and China is considered a home of souls for us. 

The world today is divided into two extremes. One being materialism in the West and the other is in China which is a new country with a long and bright past to be valued though parts of the culture are polluted by feudalism. 

The spirit of China is a hope for us all. 

 

Will the US be happy if there is no war in the Taiwan Straits?

9370  Will the US be happy if there is no war in the Taiwan Straits 20220506 

The US will not be happy if there is no war in the Taiwan Straits. 

But the point is not here. 

The point is how big will the opposition force in and outside China if the Taiwan Issue is settled. 

The question is how big an effort will be in force to push China into a costly huge war. 

Because if a peaceful solution is found, then a successful outcome will be settled, and there is no chance for the powers in and outside of China to hinder China. 

To promote Traditional Chinese in China is no easy task, because the opposition powers will be huge.  There will be strange opinions  and all kinds of curious events to prevent Chinese people using Traditional Chinese. 

Because that would not be an issue for the Straits only. Using Traditional Chinese means to have a more powerful tool for thoughts. Economy and Science progress will be flying in a short time.  Young people will be much smarter and wise. History will have a sharp turn. China will be going upward quickly.  

Years ago the People's Daily had published a Traditional Chinese version for oversea editions, and it was blown up in an extremely short time. Some Singapore Government people wrote a letter to the People's Daily and the plan is dead.

Some people just will not be happy if the Taiwan Issue is settled easily. They want Taiwan be separated from China forever. 

And the internal opposition will be a major part in the Issue. 

Will it be difficult to "learn" the Traditional Chinese for the younger people? 

Definitely not. 

The most difficult part is to make people realize how important the issue is for the history of China in the long run and the Taiwan Issue is but a short term difficulty. 

Learning a few difficult words is never a problem. The problem is in the opposition. 

The US and their representatives inside China will not be happy to see a strong and powerful China united together in their mother language.  

Vertical Column

Vertical　　

I pleaded to the editor in Ming Pao in 1992, to print my column vertical. he promised. I was so happy to read my article in vertical. However, the vertical column was gone the next day. He told me that was only impossible. I believe that was from the order of his boss. Maybe he was blamed for his kindness.  All the newspapers were in horizontal printing by that time. You will not see one single vertical column in the papers. It seemed to be a strict secret order from somewhere. It was terrible. Not one single newspaper dared not to follow this secret order.
