The Japanese takes overcorrecting measures for economic boom in the 90s and formed a habit of avoiding updates of fixed asset investments. The habit causes an issue, which is refusing updates of anything including their products. Many Japanese products implies that philosophy, such as the Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, the Topre keyboard and the Land Cruiser made by Toyota. They are good ones though, they just never change it for long.

On the other hand, although Chinese products are in low quality, they keep coming and evolving. Consumers have a scale inside and if the quality of low price products exceeds a critical point- a threshold which they can stand with, they are more willing to buy the cheaper one. If Chinese products keep coming through the point, they will gradually capture the market share and the Japanese companies will be falling. (As long as the price of Chinese products do not rise too much in the process.)

Everyone has that threshold. Except the fact the threshold is particularly low for consumers in China.

Maybe there is deeper reason for this phenomenon. If a country is willing to embrace debt, he is willing to keep updates as well. Also, it may be not a bad arrangement for some nations to choose not to update infrastructure frequently. Many ethnic groups/nations are long infamous for taking the gamble and starting a war when they are highly indebted.(Think about how the ww1 and ww2 initialized, they all come from debt and economic crisis.  The ww2 can even trace back to the origins of 1929 economic crisis in the US and the Americans cancel the loans to Germans which drastically caused trouble for their living and became the last straw that breaks the camelback. The only difference is that at that time, the weapons are not so developed and the man who runs the  country may think they will not suffer death or injury from the war.) It’s not a bad thing to constrain their fixed asset investments so as to contain their debt before anything happens. The Chinese people are peaceful and not interested in occupying other nations’ land. A little debt to increase fixed asset investments will help achieve better economic growth.

Interest comes from mind flow. Mind flow comes from the way you did it. Make the way you did it convenient and comfortable for every inch of your skin and the life would be like eternal heaven.

I noticed that sometime we are not aware, the world is calling Chinese people without name inversion, that is the surname comes first. That’s a good sign and it’s really awkward to see the Chinese name inversion. If you have to follow the convention, use a English name instead.

这篇文章用中文书写，intentionally。因为我想聊一部周星驰的电影，这部电影是中文的。

这部电影的名字是《新喜剧之王》。这部电影与其他叫好不叫座的电影有很大不同，在于它并非不卖坐，而是骂评如潮，豆瓣评分只有5.7分，然而我却非常喜欢这部电影。这部电影让我惊诧或者说细思极恐的地方在于，星爷把真正的结局隐藏在了表面上正常的结局里，我到最近才真正看懂了这部电影真正的意思。

如梦做演员失败转行去送外卖，在大雨天出了车祸，然后，

1、后面的所有的调光都偏蓝色。墙壁、地面全部都是蓝色的。后面如梦颁奖、给新人小女孩提建议的时候，镜头都渗出了蓝色炫光（屏幕中上部的位置）。出现蓝光说明这不是真实的世界，这其实是如梦在车祸时弥留之际的幻觉。路人跟如梦问的话，”怎么样？你是不是睡着了？你喝醉了吗？你自杀啊？”、”难道你们在拍戏吗？你是演员吗？”、”都说你睡着了，很危险的，别再这样了”，这些话更像是对一个昏迷的人说的，而不像是对站着的如梦说的话，”都说你睡着了，很危险的，别再这样了”出现此句时屏幕渗出了蓝光，跟后面如梦获奖和跟小女孩传授经验时如出一辙，都是如梦的幻想。如梦推着电瓶车离开的画面，地面上似乎是有血迹，因为雨的关系被冲得很淡。紧接着下一个镜头，宝强的镜头刚出来的时候，就出现了很强的蓝光，从此刻开始，墙壁、演员衣服都泛蓝。后面连卫生纸、护肤水的都是蓝色的，手机屏幕里也泛蓝。画面中各种各样无关的物件都开始变成蓝色，包括公交车的挡板、采访宝宝时沙发的颜色、背幕的颜色，采访他的主持人的指甲颜色都偏蓝，马老师（宝强）来见如梦家看如梦时，如梦衣服的颜色也都是蓝色，墙壁渗蓝、擦桌子的抹布是蓝色、壁柜上的青花瓷、墙壁色调偏蓝、卫生纸的盒子偏蓝。海选的时候，如梦的裤子是蓝色的，背景中至少有6个人的衣服裤子里有蓝色的部分。

2、王宝强在去看如梦的时候，带着的礼物是花篮，这明显是给死人准备的。一起吃饭的时候，桌上只有三副碗筷，明明镜头里有四个人，如梦、宝强、爸妈。墙壁蓝得吓人。

3、在试镜的时候，跳机械舞的实际代表僵尸，头在地上旋转跳舞的，实际代表断头鬼。如梦在表演时，如梦的裤子和张全蛋的裤子，都是红色的。红裤子，在中华文化中也是有特殊含义的。试镜的时候的墙壁和地面，注意看，调光偏蓝得渗得慌。最后如梦通过了试镜，推开发光的门，门把手不是普通的门把手，而像是焚shi炉的把手。发光的门代表如梦进入了另一个世界。

4、最后颁奖的时候，给如梦的镜头只有她跑龙套的镜头，正常应该放映她成功时候的镜头，因为她压根就没成名，如梦只有跑龙套时候的记忆，又一次证明了这只是她的空想。她爸爸眼睛湿润的镜头，不像是因为感动，更像是失去了至亲的痛哭。

实际上，在如梦大雨天送外卖出车祸的时候，如梦就已经死了。后面都只是如梦的想象和执念。真是一部细思极恐的电影，那么久之后才真正看懂它的意思。这部电影就是周星驰在叙述自己，”所以根本不在乎评价”。

最近有读到曹德旺的一句话，很受启发。他说，对人类很美味的东西，对其他生物可能是毒药。我们的喜好这些，都是虚假的。他说得完全正确。人类很喜欢的一些食物，比如辣椒，本身就是植物为了防止被吃产生的保护自身的”毒素”。我在另外一处读到另一句话，我们在做梦的时候觉得一切都是真实的，当我们刚刚起床的时候，突然发现那些东西不会影响到我们生活的时候，很快就释然了。如果我们的生活本身跟梦境一样就是虚拟的呢？

当然，这里面又得区别对待。最近听郭德刚讲相声，在他的《老郭有新番-说三国》里，他提到刘备就想做一个普普通通的县令，可是上天不给赏机会，就是派了个小人提督折磨刘备，害得他不得不走上了英雄的道路。这样看来，有时挫折又是英雄命本身，逃也逃不开，与上面《新喜剧之王》的消极想法又相反了。所以看问题的时候，似乎是不能被文学作品所局限，每个作者都有自己的写法，他们的看法终究只能作为参考，自己的本心才是无比重要的。

It seems that the latest covid virus, the omicron variant, is kinda friendly to human beings. I read that the omicron variant spread from mice to humans. Thanks little mouse, you cute creature cultivates the horrible covid into a somewhat mild virus.
