Later, when I thought about this paragraph again, I suddenly found the root of the pain -- the real death is not felt, nor painful. The real pain is when the doctor tells me the time of death, when the fact of death becomes a sentence. What is death? This has been a question that has wrestled with my mind for many years, and I have thought about this scene many times since, and I know clearly that death looks like this: The process of death is silent, it is like the process of breaking a coco...

Rejecting the boring Xie Mian to eat and drink is a pleasure in the sense of taste, and the emphasis is on the taste. Regarding food, I said some things, which were misrepresented as Xie's "don't eat without salt". Actually not, the original intention is: should be salty or not, do not eat. Traveling abroad, eating the dishes in the hotel, often suffers from blandness, almost every dish lacks salt. I remember that year, when I ate in the cafeteria of a school in the south, there wer...

There is only one way to solve the problem of death: to live well. If you don't have a way to understand death, if you have a mystery about death, if you're worried about death, there's only one thing you can do: live in the moment. The first encounter with death was in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in January 2007. My best friend Momo was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer a few months ago. In the Netherlands, where euthanasia is legal, she decided to be euthanized, and I was ...

There was a woman on the street standing in the scorching sun of July. Hold a sign in hand. "Need work," says the sign. "Dog food is enough", there is such a row of small characters under the sign. And here is the United States. No country in human history has ever been so prosperous and healthy. But once upon a time, there were homeless people lying under the arcades in the big city, and people standing on the streets holding signs for jobs. Businesses closed their doors or changed owners, a...

I have a neighbor who is twelve years old and is called "no brains". His name is Mindless, and people can have brains. The head is quite big, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose, which are many. He is also smart at reading and can never be brainless. Everyone called him brainless, because he discounted everything he remembered, and the shortcomings were fractional. This kid visits my house a lot. Played for a long time and left. I just closed the door, bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door...

During Chinese New Year, my daughter went to buy a small box of her beloved imported frozen cake. Because it is her "private room dim sum", she cherishes it very much. She only cuts a small piece to enjoy it every day, but she finally finished eating it until the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Under the twilight light, she looked at the empty box and said fondly, "What should I do with this box?" I walked over and worried with her. The box was still beautiful, made...

It is only when you quit smoking that you will feel the power of smoking. The most powerful thing is an invisible habit. When you say goodbye to a harmful habit, and you can't find something new and become a habit, the easiest thing to do is to go back. From the habits of life to the habits of thought are all like this. This is also what I deliberately wrote in the part of "putting enough" in the novel "Three Inch Golden Lotus". Now, I have quit smoking for more than ten years. The house...

. I am often asked, does a monk like me have troubles? To be honest, yes. Monks are also secular people, but also one of the general public. We practice according to the "Zen" method, although the ultimate goal is to achieve a natural state of no joy and no worry, but, in fact, it is very difficult to achieve. In reality, we will still have troubles, but the practice of Zen allows us to eliminate our troubles in various ways and adjust ourselves to the natural state of being close to no joy a...

This time I went to Yancheng, and the task was to describe the food of Yancheng. Although I am a little wary of food because of my weight, I have never been to Yancheng, and I have this interesting trip to Yancheng because of my admiration for the hometown of my friend Cao Wenxuan. Yancheng first used the famous food of "eight bowls" to welcome us. The founder of the "Eight Great Bowls" was actually Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian. When I read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when I was a chi...

The biological perspective guides psychologists to search for the causes of behavior in genes, the brain, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. The functioning of an organism can be explained from its physiological structure and biochemical processes. Experience and behavior are largely understood as the result of chemical and electrical activity that occurs within and between nerve cells. Researchers with a biological view have generally assumed that psychological and social phenomen...

First of all, make it clear: Why should elephants be put into the refrigerator? Is it to cool the elephant? Is it to store elephant meat? Or do you want to deeply freeze the elephant and wake it up one day? You will find that the purpose is different, the method is different, and it may not even be necessary to put the elephant into the refrigerator. Suppose you must put the elephant in the refrigerator. Next, we will analyze the steps of putting the elephant into the refrigerator. Preliminar...

It was a frosty morning. The women got up early to clean the courtyard. Under the eaves there were neat piles of dry wood, and in the sinks soaked with red vicia, which had not been disposed of. The mountains in the distance were still unclear and covered with layers of white fog. The sunshine of the previous days had dissipated and there was no trace of it. Large areas of grass, high enough to cover the knee, far from a vast expanse of white, like the moonlight color. The wild crane is not y...
