老共都打不过还想东亚称雄？招不招？

The Han Dynasty in China lasted about 400 years. After its fall, the country descended into a century of chaos known as the Three Kingdoms period, during which some 350 wars were fought and China’s population fell by roughly 70 percent. The Tang Dynasty lasted about 300 years, followed by roughly seven decades of turmoil—hundreds of conflicts and a population loss of about 60 percent. In fact, roughly every 300 years, Chinese history has witnessed a collapse of order. For those living through such times, life becomes unspeakably brutal—comparable to living under ISIS in 2015, but on a vastly larger scale. In fact, the cycle of chaos and order is a fundamental law of human society—not just for China. If you fail to recognize this, it’s only because your country’s recorded history is too short to give you the kind of long-term perspective that the Chinese have. So here is the question: the world order the United States established after World War II is now clearly at risk of collapse. If global chaos ensues, what would happen this time? China is clearly not yet prepared to maintain world order beyond its immediate periphery.

America is bleeding itself.

移民到国外的人，该不该教育自己的孩子讨厌中国，在我看来，绝对不该。孩子还小的时候，他们和母国的联系更多是文化上的，比如汉字，比如唐诗，比如三国，比如珠穆朗玛，长江三峡，比如中餐美食。当然，还有你诸多的兄弟节目，爷爷奶奶。是这些构成了孩子世界里的中国。为什么要讨厌这些？ 等孩子慢慢大了，可以逐渐告诉他们中国的社会体制和这里不同，但这个不宜太早，没必要让孩子提前在没有思考的前提下，形成刻板印象。 更重要的是，即便有后者，也不需要否定前者。我们不喜欢专制体制，但我们喜欢唐诗宋词，喜欢三山五岳，喜欢火锅和肉夹馍，这是我们文化上的根。 看过美国的电视剧《根》么？身为奴隶，他们都有根，何况我们？

A racing champion, a small village, and an unexpected way to change lives. During the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer’s racing team—driven by a French rider—won back-to-back titles. But what caught people’s attention wasn’t just the victory. On the championship bike, a few simple words were printed: “Mayang Ancient Brown Sugar.” Behind that label is a personal story. The company’s founder, Zhang Xue, is from a small village in Mayang, Hunan. Earlier this year, while testing motorcycles before Spring Festival, he returned home and spoke with local villagers. He learned that most sugarcane farmers were elderly, and their traditional brown sugar wasn’t selling well. So he made an unusual decision: He put his hometown’s product on a world-class racing machine. The result was immediate. Orders surged to over 1,000 per day. What used to take months to sell out was nearly gone within days. A racing bike, a few words on its body— and suddenly, a small village was seen by the world.

我希望儿子学习滑铁卢的CE Major + Math minor。理由是可软可硬，受AI的影响小。我是工程师，让儿子学习工程有执念。 我老公希望他学Math + CS Double Major。这个组合是滑铁卢的王牌专业，今后的发展上线高。儿子数学成绩不错，课程难度和学习压力都小。就业范围广。 大家帮我看一下，该如何选？谢谢

The first poem most Chinese kids learn is 咏鹅 though, written by Luo Bingwang 骆宾王 (640-684) when he himself was only 7 years old.

What is the most famous opening line in poetry?

床前明月光 In all seriousness, the typical 1st poem taught to all Chinese children at 5ish is likely the best known poem in the world in any language.
