"Notorious Heiress" Hong Huang: There are too many beautiful faces, but too few interesting souls. She does not feign politeness, does not inflate her own image, and does not shy away from her feminist inclinations. She is straightforward, unconventional, and deeply passionate. Her eyes see through things with piercing clarity, but her heart remains a burning flame. The reason is simple: in a world rife with monsters and demons, she only wants to live as her true self. In 2003, when blogs were still China's most influential platform for new ideas, Hong Huang had already begun focusing on women's issues. Her blog challenged traditional Chinese gender norms and inspired a generation of women to fight for gender equality.
"I think the ones who need feminism the most might not be Chinese women, but Chinese men. I've noticed that many Chinese women have already followed Ayawawa to buy lipstick and skincare products, so go ahead and buy your skincare products—I won't talk to you anymore. I'll chat with Chinese men for a while."

How old does a tree have to be to be called an ancient tree? The answer is 100 years. One ancient Shu Road, half of Chinese history; the obsession with Bodhi trees; the scholar trees in ancient academies; the chosen one of the 'child-giving tree'; pines know the Qin calendar was short, cypresses feel the Han's deep grace; temples and Taoist temples are indeed sanctuaries for ancient trees.

Director of Four Springs. People of their generation once had very lofty ideals and wanted to have a bigger world, but they basically never had the chance to see it. Like that pond, not all water can flow to the sea.

When I was little, there were many rural children and the family was poor. From the age of six or seven, children had to do farm work at home. I loved singing and dancing as a child, and I also loved reading picture books. I always thought that I would become a singer or a dancer in the future.
But as I slowly grew up, I realized: being able to cook, do needlework, endure hardship, and manage a household—that was the way a rural woman should be.

I don't want to express anything, I just do what's around me, what I can see, what I feel. At first the villagers always complained that my work was rough, but later they gradually understood me.

Peers are the nourishment for children's growth. A group of little friends playing and tussling, shoving and pushing, you call out, I yell, you curse at me, I kick you—this is the nourishment people need.

Children are born with an understanding of abstract beauty in art. Their imagination doesn't need to be taught; they just need to be given a chance to express it and show it.

I often tell parents that we need to understand two truths. First, whether a child will have a future has no direct connection with their current academic performance. Many examples show that all-A students turn out to be ordinary, while many accomplished people had average grades in school. Second, whether a person will be happy in life has no direct connection with the size of their career achievements. Many cases show that some successful people are not happy, while some ordinary people live their plain lives with great enjoyment.
In short, take it easy.

Children are never containers; they are seeds. The best thing we can give them is not to place them in a container, but to let them feel the sun, air, water, and the power of time and trust.

Three young people who don't know how to build a boat built a wooden boat, launched from Qingshan Beach in Wuhan, and drifted downstream towards Shanghai, 1200 kilometers away. In the end, we were not allowed to enter the Huangpu River, at the Baoshan riverside, no celebration, nor particular disappointment.
