I finally watched The Pianist. While my heart aches, I can't help but imagine myself in that situation. If I lived in that era, how would I hide? How would I survive? How would I deal with my sense of identity? In my mind, I've simulated almost 800 escape plans for the protagonist, but I realize that even if I could hide, some syllables would still “show" me. Language is what I've spoken since bir...

What is a language? It’s not just a tool for communication; it’s a vessel carrying the weight of civilization and cultural heritage. Language in itself is an empty shell, gaining substance and meaning only when filled with human thoughts and emotions. 看起来摆的要死的法国人，不要被骗了哟，法国人对待语言真的是非常严谨的！这种严谨不仅保护了法语的纯洁性，也为美的保留和哲学的探讨提供了广阔的空间。语言...

当时追重启人生这个剧的时候就好奇过为什么女主是重生五次，还有我们为什么总说三岁看大或者三十而立。以及为什么我们都在说人越大是约不容易被改变的。 其实调和级数可能已经悄悄给了我们答案！ 1岁出生的时候遇到的每个人每件事对你的影响都是1/1 1岁的时候重生一次 n= 4的时候(1+1/2+1/3+1/4) = 2.08333；4岁重生一次 n=10的时候 (1+1+1/2+1/3+....1/10) =2.92897；10岁重生一次 n=30的时候等于3.99499； 30岁重生一次 n=82的时...

读东西的时候你心中是不是一直都有一个声音？以为自己在默读，其实脑内是有一个被自己内化的声音。但当自己留意去听是什么语调什么音色的时候却总是无法集中。 我很庆幸我今天有记录下来，我发觉自己给侄女讲故事的这个人格说话声音非常循循善诱哈哈哈。觉得以后我都要在心中对自己这样讲话，多多练习。 Today Language acts as bed-time story for my little niece Today Language acts as means for me to communicate with auth...
