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.

🌄🌊🗺️ In the lofty mountains and flowing waters, no one recognizes me, At the corners of the earth, where should I seek? // 高山流水无人识， 海角天涯何处寻？ Gāoshānliúshuǐ wú rén shí, Hǎi jiǎo tiānyá hé chù xún? // Cao sơn lưu thuỷ vô nhân thức, Hải giác thiên nhai hà xứ tầm? // Non cao nước chảy … Read more
