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.

🤔💔🗣️ When you’re angry and intentionally ignore the other party, only to realize much later that they haven’t even noticed or didn’t care, you discover that all your silent treatment was pointless. Then, when someone shows you a little kindness, you instantly forgive them, even feeling like you were wrong. Sadness is just a play … Read more
🌱🌀💔 At a young age, I’ve already managed to balance career and love—by having neither. // 年纪轻轻的我就已经把事业和爱情取得了平衡，都没有。 Niánjì qīng qīng de wǒ jiù yǐjīng bǎ shìyè hé àiqíng qǔdéle pínghéng, dōu méiyǒu. // Niên kỷ khinh khinh đích ngã tựu dĩ kinh bả sự nghiệp hòa ái tình thủ đắc liễu bình hành, đô một … Read more
