  1. Those were extremely wise words from sages of Ancient Chinese scholars. Thank you very much for explaining those concepts down to a meaningful level. The beauty of Chinese is to combining necessary factors to compound the words and making them profound. Certainly, with the CCP doing the brainwashing and destroying the classical Chinese. No one would have a clue. Or worse, those who Anti-CCP simply believed that Mao and his rest of the leaders lumped CCP as "Chinese". So they would all have the misconceived notion that CCP IS "CHINESE". Hence, they would played right into Beijing's mind games of "bait and switch". When you do not even have the correct facts at the very beginning, you will never able to resolve any conflicts and able to establish meaningful solutions. Like yourself, I had unknowingly becoming a pro-Democracy activist in the last two years due to what was happening in my original home country of Hong Kong. So I am familiar with the process and the strategies you mentioned in this very video. Never had I realized that somehow with more thoughts, wisdom and courage. Items which I naturally feared and shy away from, such as writing meaningful and impactful deliveries of public speeches, responding to corresponding media interviews, as well as publications of articles and reports, had gradually becoming second nature. This transformation had led me to attempt at a few different projects on writing a book with a comprehensive and detailed aspects of Hong Kong from 2019 to 2021 (the original thought was from a written report done in mid 2020), along with various future topics of the PRC, CCP and the effects of Beijing's Global Politics. Plus being able to originate a great idea to be the perfect antithesis of the "Belt and Road" Initiative very similar to the concept of your approach in this very video. More than ever, we all need a fair amount of doses both in "Wisdom" and "Courage". My fortunate upbringing in Hong Kong during my childhood and continuing my lifepath in Canada since 11, has combined the best aspects of the Eastern and Western civilization. I am hoping to continue into that path of the education in my life. Not only to continually taking in the great knowledge of wisdom, but to aptly and correctly apply them in a meaningful and impactful way. Thus completing the purpose of education, which is a Latin word simply means, "To Bring Out". Just like the Chinese in a two part process to complete the full meaning of a word. It is difficult in today's turbulent world to fully comprehend the real and the plain facts. Particularly from various media sources trying to slandering their angles and opinions to simply gathering sound bites for meagre moments of popularity or viral moments online. Let alone to have the fortitude of not having any fears nor perceived attacks from anyone having various opinions on the matter regardless of background knowledge, or simply shaped by their original foundation of particular ideologies. More than ever, we need to embrace more empathy and openness to cope with the current CCP Virus Pandemic, the turbulent Global Geopolitics, the Mother Nature response to our willful ignorance of this very planet for material gains, and a host of issues impacting our Democracy, Civil Liberties, Freedom and Human Rights. Instead of arguing, perhaps carefully listening first, even with something completely opposite or sounding absurd. We need to consciously see others' point of view to see the reasons of their thinking - Mainly the "Who, What, When, Where, Why" and "How". Then we can carefully and skillfully respond in return. Let's remember that our precious gift in a Democracy is to have the Freedom of Speech, which everyone is entitled to do so without infringing other's rights of the same. This video gives the Chinese perspective of this. In the Western Civilization, it is from a Dutch origin of "The Ancient Law Merchant" compiled in 1622 called "Live and Let Live" - The simple definition is "that a person should live as he or she chooses and let other people do the same His philosophy was to live and let live." When this philosophy is done right, it can have extremely powerful attributes to other parts of your own life as well as others. I was clearly able to link the two similar thoughts and put them both together in such meaningful ways. Thank you for your expert, detailed and concise analysis on your videos. I am looking forward to more of your wisdom and courage into this unknown of 2022. Based on the trend and the trajectory of the current World. We all need those two words in our daily thoughts and actions.
