“The true value of a human being is determined primarily by the measure and the sense in which he has attained liberation from the self.”
-Albert Einstein, 1934
16 years later, Einstein goes on to say in ways similar to the teachings of Buddhism...
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. The striving to free oneself from this delusion is the one issue of true religion. Not to nourish it but to try to overcome it is the way to reach the attainable measure of peace of mind.”
Another film adaptation from Amy Tan's novel The Joy Luck Club also seemed to play up racial stereotypes of Western mainstream whilst embody a potluck of authenticity. The inescapable duality of 1st & 2nd generation immigrants.
That 1993 film deserves more trailblazing recognition for Chinese Americans than the over-hyped Crazy Rich Asians.
Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) was another "Asian representation" film that passed the torch, albeit dim to the point of dousing. Unfortunately, the low income plot didn't captivate audiences with eye candy glitz.
Hollywood films marketed as an "all-Asian cast" would've suffered weak box office in the past, let alone top it for two straight weekends.
Everything is negotiable, like most things in life. It helps to read/speak Chinese. No agent fees via this platform. Airbnb is also gaining traction in China. The sublet apartment hotel (酒店公寓) fad is booming.
Protecting the ecology of the lake is important, but protecting incompetent swimmers is just as vital.
The proficiency (lack of) of Yunnan swimmers is troubling, to speak nothing of other provinces. Too many undocumented drowning incidences of dragging ashore loved ones without a pulse, rarely reach pulse of nation. Drowning occurrences are particularly pronounced among beach-goers amidst China's travel boom across SE Asia & beyond.
Mandatory swimming courses & tests need to be implemented by the education ministry as a high-school graduation requirement. Greater budget allocation for swimming facilities would be helpful in that regards.
It's possible Neolithic period, which began 10,000BC and ending as late as 2,000BC in this part of the world, could overlap with the Bronze age (3,000 - 1,200BC)?
If you look closely at my first picture link, the temporary housing and storage facilities are actually where the previous public spaces of Dongfeng Plaza were located.
Once the Eye of Spring towers are built to its South, that open space will return in full glory. Locals and visitors alike will dance again in "friendly & funky" hand-holding circles to traditional Yunnan folk songs.
I believe President Xi embraces the symbiotic evolution of the old and new.
