Challenging social constraints
Interpersonal conflicts are something we don't like to encounter, yet they are a part of life, especially since cultural differences often bring social tension. Two recent news stories have made us realize why Chinese people often feel discriminated against. The first is about a woman in a Canadian coffee shop who didn't queue to get water for her daughter. When other people and staff asked her to queue, she threw her hot coffee at the staff. The second is about a Chinese per

Fragile Power
China has experienced remarkable economic development in recent years, earning it the title of a "powerful nation." However, as mentioned in yesterday's article, we have not seen significant progress in the moral character of our people. Instead, we are witnessing more social problems, distrust among people, and a loss of values. What exactly is happening? Today I'd like to introduce a book called "The Power of Vulnerability," by Brienne Brown, an American social researcher.

Gardening and Life
Having lived in Australia for several years, I've felt that the beauty of nature and the vastness of the space are truly gifts from the Creator, providing support and nourishment for my body, mind, and spirit. Australia's climate is also ideal for the growth of different kinds of plants, which has made me "fascinated" with gardening, something that was difficult to practice in Hong Kong before. Over the past few years, watching the vegetables I've grown, from planting to harv

High emotional intelligence
Many people mistakenly believe that people with high emotional intelligence are always calm and unaffected, or so-called unemotional. In fact, quite the opposite is true.

Here are some characteristics of high emotional intelligence as suggested by experts: 1. Able to reflect on the messages behind emotions. Many people strongly resist ne

Investigating things to acquire knowledge
Have you noticed that when Chinese people complain about being discriminated against by foreigners, the level of trust among Chinese people themselves is actually quite low? They are often afraid of being deceived or taken advantage of. This stems from our undervaluation of honesty; lying or exaggeration seems to be commonplace. When moral values conflict with personal interests, some people would rather choose personal interests than moral values, as seen in recent years wit

Minimalism and Spirituality
I recently met a friend who described herself as a former shopaholic, her home overflowing with clutter. A year ago, she started exploring minimalism and putting it into practice, sharing her journey in online videos. She appears increasingly refreshed and at ease, and her speech is now concise and powerful. Her channel has attracted over ten thousand viewers, inspiring many to pursue a deeper understanding of life. Minimalism has become particularly popular in the West and
