Post- reading  <<书归去来辞赠契顺>> The story of Zhuo Qishun and Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo) is a touching tale of friendship, loyalty, and the power of action. It's a story that resonates even today, reminding us of the importance of helping others and the strength of the human spirit. Su Shi, a renowned poet and scholar of the Song Dynasty, was exiled to Huizhou, a remote region in southern China. Separated from his family, who resided in Yixing, and with his brother Su Zhe also in exile elsewhere, communication was difficult. Su Shi's son, Su Mai, was deeply worried about his father's well-being, as news from Huizhou was scarce. Enter Zhuo Qishun, a Buddhist lay practitioner from the Dinghui Temple in Suzhou. Witnessing Su Mai's distress, Zhuo Qishun offered a simple yet powerful reassurance: "What is there to worry so much about? Huizhou isn't in the heavens; if you just travel, you'll arrive." With these words, Zhuo Qishun volunteered to ...

Floods are dangerous and can cause severe damage to both property and lives. In the event of a flood warning, it's vital to act quickly to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones. Here's what to do: Seek shelter immediately: Move to higher ground or evacuate to a designated safe zone. Avoid walking, swimming, or driving in floodwaters: They may seem shallow, but strong currents and hidden hazards can pose a serious risk. Stay off bridges over fast-moving water: Floodwaters can make bridges unstable or sweep them away. Follow evacuation orders: Leave as soon as you're told—don't wait for conditions to worsen. Move up in your building: If you can't evacuate, move to a higher floor, ensuring it's safe. Stay put if directed: Only stay in place if officials advise it's the safest option. Remember, just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and one foot can carry away a vehicle. Always follow emergency officials' instructions and stay inform...

Beyond the Basics: Unlocking the Nutritional Nuances of Milk & Eggs We all know milk and eggs are nutritional powerhouses, but did you know there's more to the story than meets the eye? Let's dive deeper into the nutritional nuances of these everyday staples. Milk: More Than Just Calcium Beyond its calcium content, milk offers a wealth of nutrients, including protein, B vitamins, and vitamin D. But did you know the type of milk you choose can impact its nutritional profile? Pasteurized milk may retain more heat-sensitive vitamins like B12 and folate than UHT milk. If you opt for UHT, ensure you get these nutrients from other dietary sources. Eggs: The Omega-3 Factor Eggs are a fantastic source of protein and choline, essential for brain health. But omega-3 eggs take it up a notch, offering a boost of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. If you're not a fan of fish or struggle to get enough omega-3s, these eggs can be a valuable addition to your diet. If budget is a concer...

Savvy Shopping: UHT vs Pasteurized Milk & Common vs Omega-3 Eggs - Making Informed Choices In today's world of abundant choices, even simple grocery staples like milk and eggs come with a variety of options. We often find ourselves pondering - is the pricier option truly worth it? Let's break down two common dilemmas: UHT vs Pasteurized Milk and Common vs Omega-3 Eggs. Milk Matters: UHT vs Pasteurized UHT milk, with its extended shelf life and convenience, is a pantry staple for many. But pasteurized milk, often touted for its fresher taste and potentially better nutrient retention, comes with a slightly higher price tag. Is it worth the splurge? If taste is your top priority, pasteurized milk might win you over. If you're on a tight budget, UHT milk offers great value. Consider your dietary habits: Are you getting enough B12 and folate from other sources? If so, UHT might suffice. Egg-cellent Choices: Common vs Omega-3 Omega-3 eggs boast heart-healthy benefits, but the...

The Ripple Effect: How Insurance Companies Can Turn the Tide on Fall Risks Introduction Imagine a world where a simple misstep doesn't spiral into a life-altering event. For millions of older adults, this is not just a daydream but a pressing reality. Falls are like a hidden tide, silently pulling people into a sea of health complications, fear, and financial strain. But what if we could change that? What if insurance companies, often seen as distant protectors, could become the lighthouse guiding policyholders away from these dangerous waters? Falls: The Silent Tsunami Every year, millions of older adults are caught in the undertow of falls, with about one in four aged 65 and older experiencing this unsettling plunge​( NCOA ). The aftermath of these falls often includes broken bones, hospital stays, and a loss of independence, much like a shipwreck leaves its passengers stranded. For those aged 55-65, the risk is still significant, with research showing that around 26.5% e...

Today, I enjoyed a comforting bowl of rice paired with Huadiao braised pork belly ( 花雕五花肉 ), Hakka-style braised pork ( 客家卤肉 ), a boiled egg, and a delicious anchovie soup with crispy fried onions and sweet leaf (mani cai). While this meal was hearty and satisfying, I felt the rice portion was too much for my preference. Let's dive into the nutritional breakdown of this meal.   What’s in the Meal? 1. Rice: While rice is a great energy source, I prefer a smaller portion to avoid feeling overly full. Adjusting portions to match your energy needs and preferences is always good. For those looking for a more balanced approach, swapping white rice for a smaller portion of brown rice can provide added fiber and longer-lasting energy. 2. Huadiao Braised Pork Belly and Hakka Braised Pork: These dishes are rich in flavor and provide a generous amount of protein and fats. However, they also come with a higher content of saturated fat, particularly with the use of pork belly. While it's gr...
