Been Thinking.../ 12:50 AM Yes, to a very large extent, I can be considered as Chinese-educated. A few statements have been the guiding principle in my life: - 先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐 - 达则兼济天下，穷则独善其身 - 只有来自民间的人，才能明白民间的疾苦 The GE had been inspiring to me. I'm now thinking if I should put what was taught to me into practice... |

I am still the same me searching for that "constant in life", searching for that meaning in life... Before that, I will not stop... 从二十五岁开始，我就不喜欢把心束缚着。 我向往的，是逍遥游的境界... ... |
