Laughing at poverty but not at prostitution

     There's a saying: "People laugh at poverty, not prostitution." For most, poverty is an outward manifestation of a person's ability; prostitution, for a segment of the population still living in poverty, might be a shortcut to wealth.     Perhaps in today's world where everyone desires wealth, people often don't care how you make money, but whether you ultimately make it; they often don't think about how they made it, but care about the freedom and prestige of spending it. Although this standard for judging wealth may lack morality and confuse right and wrong, it is the most common and widely accepted underlying standard in reality. This is like a phenomenon we sometimes encounter in life: an open secret. Perhaps "The Emperor's New Clothes" perfectly illustrates my thoughts here. In the story, everyone knows which two tailors are swindlers, but the emperor believes them. Thus, everyone's blatant self-deception is a form of flattery, w...

The Chinese Dream – A Gardener's Passion

     Like a silkworm spinning silk until death, like a candle burning until it's ash, you sang this praises. —Epigraph     A piece of chalk, a clean conscience, you used words to answer our questions; in the classroom, with students from all corners of the world, you used facts to illustrate the legend of life.     From our first steps to our current nimble strides; from our ignorance of society to our understanding of life; from our immaturity to our maturity… Teacher, how much effort have you poured into this?     Your tireless dedication is your attitude towards work; your perseverance is your seriousness towards teaching; your unwavering loyalty is your steadfastness towards the motherland; your selflessness and integrity are the wisdom you taught us for living and interacting with others… Teacher, how much passion have you given?     Some say, "Your work is today, yet it builds the future of our nation; your teaching is in the ...

Humanity behind canine nature

     Dogs are everywhere around us, but who truly understands their nature? Many merely engage in deceptive speculation and misinterpretation. In reality, a dog's nature isn't wretched; it's gentle and loyal. Last week, my dog ​​passed away for some unknown reason. Watching it lie on the ground, tears streaming down its face, biting its tongue, barely able to stand, my heart ached as if my fingers were being pulled apart. But what could I do? When it left me, I sat in a dark corner, secretly weeping. I recalled the days when it was with me—those were truly joyful. Every time I came home, it was always the first thing I saw. When I went to visit the neighbors, it would always lead the way. I deeply regret not being able to keep it. Today, I sat in the same spot reading, and I was stunned.     We enjoy the hard-won life we ​​have; shouldn't we feel content? But why is society becoming increasingly complex? According to reports, at a company dinner, the leader was ...

Standards for Depth and Detail in Prose

     When you talk about prose, you think of classic works. The reasons these works qualify as classics are nothing more than beautiful language and profound insights, qualities most prominent in works from the May Fourth Movement period. Works like Zhu Ziqing's "Lotus Pond by Moonlight" and "Green" have been included in middle school textbooks for generations, demonstrating their widespread representativeness.     What constitutes the depth of these prose pieces? The standard answer in textbooks focuses on the emotional and life experiences conveyed. The emotions we perceive are merely the springtime on Earth, with writers observing flowers and grass and offering a few reflections. "Lotus Pond by Moonlight" is a prime example, from the exquisite description of lotus leaves in the pond to the delightful use of synesthesia in the violin, all reflecting on the feelings after observing flowers and grass. This is the depth of classic works and life experie...

Going back to my hometown to lose weight

 My weight made the bed creak again and again. My round belly stopped me from bowing to the wise man, and also stopped me from repeatedly scrubbing my collar. Taking advantage of the bright sunshine , I sang a song, rode my motorcycle , and returned to my hometown—it would help me lose weight. My mother, seeing me return so heavy, brought me a bowl of bittersweet nagging, making me chew it , so my stomach would contract with my heart. My father silently took a few puffs of his cigarette, trying to expel the pent-up emotions of the past years. The dog licked my palms clean, as if swallowing some of this hypocrisy and treachery was necessary for survival. The cow led me to the mountain to bask in the sun. I need to dry all my moldy things and read them to him. That little path, like a bandit's trail, can make me sweat buckets. I'll sprinkle them on the roadside as toll. Carrying a load of corn cobs, I'll take the first step. The joy of harvest will be pressed into the earth. ...

Trade Culture at Anime Festivals

     The anime festival is now a holiday for students.     It comprises performances, trade, and food. The crowds are dressed in their finest attire, much like people celebrating the Lunar New Year. Before the New Year, people stock up on food and supplies, and wear new clothes and hats. Of course, this requires time for entertainment. The trade at the anime festival mainly consists of school supplies, daily necessities, and food, with some clothing accessories and exquisite handicrafts. This enriches students' lives and provides them with the necessary experience and opportunities to mature into a more sophisticated market-oriented individual. Therefore, the trade at the anime festival serves as a training ground for students transitioning from their formative years to a more mature market-oriented life. For     students fresh out of school, market trade is a complex and often chaotic economic entity, lacking familiarity and understanding. The anime f...
