Yeah, such kind of little flowers is really lovely. Normally they are purple-red or yellow or even mottled/half red, half yellow. I've seen them from my childhood, especially in the evening, they are in full bloom, so brilliant as if greeting people who return home from school or work place. Strangely nobody can tell me about its real/scientific name. Maybe they are too common to be noticed, or they have a famous name which I just don't know, such as hollyhock. (After many years later, I realized that kind of flowers I often see is named hollyhock. We local people just call them a very rustic name: bran pancake/糠饼子. Maybe they look as round as a pancake？)
The first time I ran across this channel is when I was searching a poem titled "leisure" by W.H. Davies. I was attracted by his wonderful explanation all of sudden about the sentence--in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night. He compared the sunshine reflected in the river to the countless diamonds. Such a beautiful and fantastic scene!
Later I surprisedly found that he once taught English both in Chinese university and training school of China. In his video, he neither demonize China, nor beautify China. He sounds very sincere and authentic. He is also a unique person. He even exposed his 'shameful experience' bravely--being jailed in Japan due to smuggling drugs. After all, no matter which country in which university teacher is a very honourable position. One of comments of his videos also proves the fact that he was just his Japanese university teacher, too. He talked about the Wilde's theory on pleasure and morality in his videos... He also claimed he himself never felt ashamed of taking MDMA in morality from his own perspective. I admire his frankness and courage. Yeah, in the final analysis, drugs themselves are just a kind of anti-depression medicine. That's all. Pitifully people are inclined to demonize it excessively. He also mentioned that at that time people just used Bitcoin to buy drugs. If he could hold those Bitcoin till now, he would be very rich. Too funny. But he is always such successful kind of people, no need to worry about money. He was also engaged in the different well-paid jobs such as models and actors in China. And he also have a lot of business chances in China. Oh, maybe someday I just find his figure/role in a Chinese movie.
All in all, for my part, his channel is a treasure-trove. He has not only the profound knowlege with a master degree which he unexpectedly obtained in a Chinese branch campus in Ningbo affiliated to a famous UK university, but an exceptionally rich experience. He travelled so many countries and touched so many different people from all over the world. He is a live legend! How I wish I could get acquainted with him! At least, his personal experience will be a testimony that China is not a scary and hideous place. On the contrary, it is a hidden heaven for the Western people. (Don't forget: the wide poverty in China only aims to the ordinary people being fooled and blocked by its goverment, not for Chinese elites and western people from the developed countries. ) I also don't want to see the phenomenon such as the talented western people have to give up writing in Hive due to economical pressure. Internet provides a golden chance, allowing the populace get around their own government’s brainwash and being plugged into the real world.
Yeah, I am a little proud of my sentence: being plugged into the outside world directly!
Thank you for your sincere support all along again!
