I see someone posting that this year's Spring Festival has four uncommon phenomena:
1. Nearly no more text message New Year greetings, and the few received are scarce.
2. The lively scene of sending red envelopes in groups is gone. Whether it's family groups or work groups, everything is as quiet as a frozen lake. The scene of grabbing red envelopes with quick hands has disappeared.
3. There are noticeably fewer pedestrians on the streets, unlike the bustling Spring Festival of the past.
4. The fireworks and firecrackers are exceptionally popular this year, and the firework displays are quite

Brothers, here's a financial contempt chain:
Those who play options think those who trade cryptocurrencies are reckless.
Crypto traders think those who trade forex are just penny-pinchers.
Forex traders think those who trade futures are uneducated.
Futures traders think stock traders are just playing house.
Stock traders think those who buy funds are just playing in the mud.
Fund buyers think holding cash is just plain stupid.

How everyone finds their talent in 2026
That is, if you do something that makes you happy and motivated, without fear of hardship, and the more you do it, the more excited you become, with a continuous source of motivation
Then this is your talent and your life’s track. This state is called "flow" in psychology, and in your career, this is your moment of destiny.

If you are the first in your family to get involved in finance, stocks, funds, bonds, futures, or cryptocurrencies
In your family's eyes, you are basically: not serious about your career + trying to go astray + bound to get into trouble eventually
They only see one path: get a job

I often play Web3 and chat with friends who do the same. We realize that
making big money usually happens within three to five years.
Big gains are made in three to five years; if you have it, you have it, if not, it’s gone.
There is a very foolish idea: opening a store or a company, hoping to run it for a lifetime and support you forever. This is a very dangerous mindset.
The reality is: you must save enough for your future ten years’ worth of living expenses during the three good years. Then, at the peak of your business, you sell it, and in the following days, you relax, observe, and explor

Chinese-style social etiquette, I have summarized 14 points. Feel free to add more.
1. The more friends you have, the more you may suffer losses.
2. The closer the relationship with relatives, the more you might suffer losses.
3. Marriages without intimacy between spouses won't last long.
4. If your monthly salary is less than 10,000, never buy a car.
5. Do not tell anyone about your pregnancy in the first three months.
6. A petty person will always be a petty person; stay far away from them.
7. The more someone complains, the more secrets they hold.
8. 99% of relationships are built on financ

From Qin Shi Huang, unifying the six states, to today, 2245 years. But it's just 2245 harvests of wheat. Since the reform and opening up in 1978, only 66 years have passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty. One person lives about 70 years, so 2245 years is just the lifespan of about 32 people linked end to end.
When you stand in the wheat field watching the waves of wheat roll, you suddenly understand: the so-called thousand generations is just the land under your feet changing crops, the moon above circling a few more times.
When we were kids reciting "Qin Shi Ming Yue Han Shi Guan," we didn

Recently, an authoritative institution stated that there are now 33.2 million middle-class households in China, accounting for about 7.8% of the population, which is approximately 100 million people.

The true meaning of the New Year
is around 15 days before the holiday
it’s on the way home during the New Year
it’s when shopping for New Year supplies
Once the New Year passes, the excitement of the first and second days fades
Because people are always happiest when they are infinitely close to happiness
Just like Friday afternoon
which is always more joyful than the weekend
because anticipation makes us happier than possession

My father once shared an experience with me that has benefited me for a lifetime.
When partnering with others, if you believe the fair split in society is 55%, then proactively suggest a 37% split, and take 30%.
If the other party opposes and proposes a 55% split, then consider cooperating.
If the other party opposes and proposes a 46% split, then observe further; there might be aspects you haven't considered.
If the other party readily agrees to your proposed 37% split, then find a reason a few days later to cancel the deal.
This is just a way of thinking.
The same approach can be used when l

Why do families of the poor often have conflicts? It's because the lower class acts as a pressure release valve for society, a sewage outlet that absorbs all the dirt and excretion pressures of the entire community. When the sewer is clogged, who deals with it? The poor. When the trash bins are full, who handles it? The poor. Who takes on the dirty and foul jobs? The poor. Who does the exhausting and dangerous work? The poor. Any terrible task is done by the poor; any painful cost is paid by the poor. As society continuously outputs pressure, discharges dirt, and excretes waste, the sewer natu

I spent 30,000 yuan on a custom suit, and my mom tells everyone that I bought it online during a clearance sale for 300 yuan. I've been running my startup for three years, and the company makes millions a year—just a drop in the bucket. My mom only says I’m just making a small living. At a classmates' gathering, I brought imported cherries, which my mom quietly took into the kitchen and served her homemade sour plums and frozen pears. The sweet and sour flavors were a hit, and everyone was grabbing them, but I felt uneasy the whole time. After the event, my mom held my hand and said: "Child, t
