You might have realized that this “Quote of the day” section has become a large part of my website’s content. While I was picking up Chinese again in my late 30s after dropping it in my late 20s, I decided that the best way to study is to translate some quotes that I encountered into my mother tongue and English on the go.
These quotes may be funny or related to self-help. What’s better than being a better version of you while studying? Have fun with quotes in 3 languages. Check back here everyday for a new quote. Enjoy learning Vietnamese, Chinese, and English.

🍃📝🎈 In the end, we are just passing through—through your beauty, his indifference, and others’ cities and skies. We leave a mark on everyone’s faces, a mark that time will eventually erase. But you’ve left, and that’s good. Otherwise, I’d always worry about you leaving. // 终究，我们只是路过，路过你的美丽，路过他的冷漠，路过别人的城市和天空，在所有人的眉目间，留下一个记号，那记号，终会被岁月消磨掉。可是，你走了，真好，不然总担心你要走。 Zhōngjiù, wǒmen zhǐshì lùguò, lùguò nǐ dì měilì, … Read more

🌟💭😊 Memories are always special. Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried, and we cry by remembering the days we laughed. This is life. // 回忆总是特别的。有时我们通过回忆我们哭泣的日子来笑，而我们通过回忆我们笑的日子来哭泣。这就是生活。 Huíyì zǒng shì tèbié de. Yǒushí wǒmen tōngguò huíyì wǒmen kūqì de rìzi lái xiào, ér wǒmen tōngguò huíyì wǒmen xiào de rìzi lái kūqì.
