"Oh, it seems like my understanding of the motivation behind China's international trade agreements being demonized by the West is in accord with the author's analysis.

What has made me surprised so far is the fact that there's such a thing charcoal blackening substituted for clothing in China. Pardon me for my ignorance. I'm still exploring the Chinese history."

"Back to basics since most of the books I'm into now have something to do with history. Sometimes I'm no longer familiar with the historical facts I passionately committed to memory back in high school. But this time it's not all about memorizing what happened in the past bur rather applying them to understanding of social and political situations." Mar 07, 2022 10:13AM

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost
