As a Chinese kid, I remember first coming into contact into Chinese philosophy around 11 or 12 and it was basically impenetrable. Comics like these by Tsai Chih Chung (Cai Zhi Zhong) in Chinese helped me "get" some of it: https:&

Probably because most users are blissfully ignorant of the less ethical bits of how Yelp conducts its business. As long as there isn't a huge discrepancy between the expectation and the services/goods rendered, most people can&#x2

Old one but a good one -- check out Dragon's Dogma It's an open world RPG with Monster Hunter combat mechanics (and tbh I think also influenced how HZD's excellent combat is designed) You also need to plan your equipment &#x2

I played Underrail a while back but didn't get too far. I do want to go through it fully at some point. Is it worthwhile? I also heard the developer is working on an expansion pack of some sort. Speaking of modern Fallout 1/2, thi

The first Dragon Age is arguably a spiritual successor. Dragon Age II was largely panned by Bioware fans as it got a lot more action oriented and less RPG/choice driven. Dragon Age: Inquisition is basically unrecognizable to Baldur&#x2

I learned English by trying to figure out how to navigate menus in Warlords II and Castles II. I played Baldur's Gate and barely understood the plot. A few years later, I eventually got to Planescape: Torment and actually managed to un

I think you're largely referring to sites that work based on their content, and not their workflow. i.e. site you interact with to consume content. Most of those sites are "free". People are willing to wait for things that th

I think there's a sense of conclusiveness when "to the ground" is added. Something drops or falls can still be caught, but the author didn't leave that ambiguous.

I think you have a point. It certainly can be interpreted that way -- as a reference to the suicides of his peers. The more I read the his other poems in the original article the more I'm leaning towards the "suicide" take. B

Ha! Before I came back to reread it that's exactly what I was thinking. Usually it's "摔" for a person who fell. To use the verb "掉" on a person is unusual, but I think it's exactly the author's point

Yeah I didn't interpret it as having committed suicide. But his other poems hinted at him falling asleep at the line. So it could be exhaustion. Or, it could be metaphorical -- that a person's spirit fell to the ground and nobody

I really liked that one as well, but I don't like the fact that the translator translated "掉在地上" differently between the first and final lines, which are meant to mirror each other exactly in order to juxtapose the fate of a

Right, your cited sources would actually be a more sound counterpoint than your original comment. Maybe it was just a spur of the moment thing. I guess my point is that if you want to get across the point that Huawei's comments are iro

How about we put it this way: Both Chinese and US consumers lose when their respective governments engage in arbitrary protectionism. You can find his comments "ironic" all you want, that doesn't mean his complaint doesn&#x27

I think it's cultural and lack of technological awareness 1) People aren't raised with a mind to combat discrimination. Despite recognizing and celebrate some 50+ ethnic groups, the majority of Chinese are Han and look like each o

People don't view privacy the same way we view them in the west. The government is obviously not too keen on passing Privacy Laws that itself has no intention of obeying. I still attribute the success of Tencent and Alibaba significant

While not explicitly mentioned (at least from cursory searches), the manga "Koroshiya Ichi" is based on a dense complex very much inspired by Kowloon where it's basically a lawless city where criminals, triads, prostitutes li

There's no doubt that Jack Ma is smart and hard working. But he and his success is also a product of his environment. I don't have any direct evidence but no companies in China achieves the kind of success Tencent or Alibaba does

Super layman's take: - China has a "ministry of culture" which decides what foreign media can enter the domestic market, especially to play on the big screen - Chinese domestic films enjoy what effectively is media protection

Funny enough for me, neither happened. I left when I was in my early teens but having spent enough time being indoctrinated. I didn't chalk every western report on the CCP to be based on hatred, nor did I develop extreme distaste for t

I'm in my mid 30s and remember seeing it on TV as a kid in Shanghai. The news were all reporting on how the PLA rolled in and were holding back and avoiding violence against harassment from the protesters. (And to be fair most were unt
