Chengdu archive: Anshun Bridge, city streets, local life, and quotes from “Lovely Chengdu.” Personal reflections and social connections.
💡🕯️🔥 I have been telling myself all these years, don’t take anyone or anything other than myself as a spiritual pillar because everything has a shelf life. Sincerity will expire, and the light that once lit you will go out. Only you will not give up on yourself. // 这些年有一直告诉自己，不要把除自己以外的任何人和事物当作精神支柱，任何事情都有保质期。真心会过期，曾经照亮你的光也会熄灭，只有自己不会放弃自己。 Zhèxiē nián yǒu yīzhí gàosù […]
🎭💰🔒 Those who love money are trapped in money. Those who are lustful are trapped in sex. You love yourself so much that you will be trapped by yourself. – “Chengdu, Please Forget Me Tonight” // 爱钱的困于钱，好色的困于色，你太爱自己所以会被自己困住。-《成都，今夜请将我遗忘》 Ài qián de kùn yú qián, hàosè de kùn yú sè, nǐ tài ài zìjǐ suǒyǐ […]

👭🏾🌆💫 Go for a walk with me through streets in Chengdu Until all the lights were turned out, we would still go on // 和我在成都的街頭走一走 直到所有的燈都熄滅了也不停留 Hé wǒ zài chéngdū de jiētóu zǒu yī zǒu Zhídào suǒyǒu de dēng dōu xímièle yě bù tíngliú // Hòa ngã tại Thành Đô đích nhai đầu tẩu nhất […]
👥🥂🕰️ A person’s life, I think, is spent half among their friends. ——Lao She, “Lovely Chengdu” // 一个人的生命，我以为，是一半儿活在朋友中的。——老舍《可爱的成都》 Yīgè rén de shēngmìng, wǒ yǐwéi, shì yībàn er huó zài péngyǒu zhōng de. ——Lǎoshě “Kě’ài de Chéngdū” // Nhất cá nhân đích sinh mệnh, ngã dĩ vi, thị nhất bán nhi hoạt tại bằng hữu trung […]
🌟🤗🚀 དཀའ་ངལ་ཁྲི་ཁྲག་སྤྲོ་བས་དང་དུ་ལེན། // Because of joy, I can confront all difficulties. // 因为欢喜，可迎万难。 Yīnwèi huānxǐ, kě yíng wànnán. // Nhân vi hoan hỉ, khả nghênh vạn nan. // Bởi vì vui vẻ nên có thể đối diện muôn vàn khó khăn. P.s.: Picture taken in Chengdu, Sichuan, China in 2019.
💪🌍🌟 No one will give you a shoulder, no one will be strong for you. “No matter who you are, the world will be the same. The true understanding of this sentence is: You must be strong, so strong that others dare not do anything to you. // 没人给你肩膀，没人替你坚强。“你怎么样，世界就怎么样”，这句话的真正理解是：你必须强大，强大到别人不敢对你怎么样。 Méi rén gěi nǐ […]
🎯💡📈 If you have no consideration and no ability, no matter how many people you know, it’s useless. Networking will only give you opportunities, but seizing opportunities still depends on your real ability. So, cultivating yourself is more important than welcoming others everywhere. // 自己肚子里没有料，手上没本事，认识再多人也没用。人脉只会给你机会，但抓住机会还是要靠真本事。所以啊，修炼自己，比到处逢迎别人重要的多。 Zìjǐ dùzi lǐ méiyǒu liào, shǒu shàng méi […]
😤🗣️🤝 It’s useless to be angry, the problem still needs to be solved. It’s no use sulking, you still have to tell each other face to face. Understanding without saying is tacit. Understanding after saying is respect. Not understanding after saying is passerby. // 光生气是没有用的，问题还是要解决。光生闷气也是没有用的，还是要面对面告诉对方。不说就懂，是默契。说了才懂，是尊重。说了还不懂，是路人。 Guāngshēngqì shì méiyǒu yòng de, wèntí háishì yào jiějué. Guāng […]
