Kong Rong was ten years old when he accompanied his father to Luoyang. At that time, Li Yuanli had a great reputation as the Commandant of the Capital, and those who came to visit him were all talented and well-spoken individuals, if not relatives. When Kong Rong arrived at Li's residence, he said to the attendant, "I am a relative of Lord Li." After being granted entry, he took a seat, and Yuanli asked, "How are you related to me?" Kong Rong replied, "In the past, our ancestor Master Confucius and your ancestor Boyang (Laozi) had a teacher-student relationship. That means we have long-standing bonds for generations." Yuanli and the guests were all amazed.
Later, when the Grand Councillor Chen Wei arrived. People recounted the conversation to him. Chen Wei said, "When someone is young, they may seem clever, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are outstanding when they grow up!" Kong Rong responded, "Then I believe that when you were young, you must have been truly outstanding!"
-- Shishuo Xinyu (A New Account of the Tales of the World), Yanyu (Speech and Conversation)
孔文舉年十歲,隨父到洛。時李元禮有盛名,為司隸校尉,詣門者皆俊才清稱及中表親戚乃通。文舉至門,謂吏曰:「我是李府君親。」既通,前坐。元禮問曰:「君與僕有何親?」對曰:「昔先君仲尼與君先人伯陽,有師資之尊,是僕與君奕世為通好也。」元禮及賓客莫不奇之。太中大夫陳韙後至,人以其語語之。韙曰:「小時了了,大未必佳!」文舉曰:「想君小時,必當了了!」

hi! i was wondering if you might have some canto song recs? a while ago you made a list of mandarin songs to check out, and i really liked a lot of them. but if i remember correctly (i hope i’m not making this up) you said you also knew a ton of good artists from hk?? if it’s not too much trouble, would you be able to list a few? if so, thank you!! and if not, that’s totally fine too. i’m sure the last time you made one of those lists was a lot of work

Lovely new single from 林宥嘉 Yoga Lin, this starts out with gentle nylon string guitar, and never gets much louder, even after the full band comes in. =D
The song is called 我不是神,我只是平凡卻直拗愛著你的人 and the English title is Wordless Groans, but the Google translation is something like “I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person who always loves you”.
Lyrics: 姚謙 Yao Chien/林宥嘉 Yoga Lin

As a patient of depression, Eli Hsieh hopes that more people can understand depression in a more positive and clear way. After deeply discuss the script with the director, and guide the emotions and feelings of the actors, Eli Hsieh hopes tell every listener who may be suffering or confused by this music video : If you feel tired, just take a rest.
