最好的自己不在未來，就在現在。

認真回想，以前我好像在每一段關係中都是在扮演某一個角色，不由自主的在為每個對象做調整。不只有在戀愛上，有時候可能跟朋友、工作夥伴都是，尤其是在前輩面前，常常我都會本能反應似的改變自己。聲音要甜一點嗎？笑話要低級一點嗎？從穿衣服就可以看出，我今天是要跟誰吃飯。雖然是微調，但透露出了一件事，我好像不夠喜歡真正的自己，所以才會擔心大家也不會喜歡真正的我。我告訴自己即使累，但如果持續努力，有一天就能變成大家都喜歡的Lara。

久而久之我和世界的相處模式只有「由外到內」，會依照別人對我的反應去斷定我的下一步。大家會覺得我很好相處，我卻越來越不快樂。現在我慢慢開始懂了，原來我把順序弄反了。我該優先處理的是自己內心的感受，其他人買不買單，其實跟你一點關係都沒有。就像找另外一半，如果我跟夢中情人在一起，但我根本無法在他面前做自己，最後還是會走不下去。

我現在33歲，So What? 終於懂，「當下的自己」才是人生時間軸上最重要的！

對了，有人好奇這次「{}」的意思嗎？簡單說是「大括號」，在數學運算式中稱作「空集合」。數學不好的人就想像一個清空的行李箱吧。「空」不是無，而是無限可能。括號還有另外一個更好懂的意思，就是「優先處理」。將過去整理過後的自己，回歸純粹，態度成熟自信！(失戀後重新出發的人應該很有感觸吧！🤣)

Your best self is not in the future, but in the Now.

Looking back, I seem to have been playing a role in almost every relationship I was ever in. I'm not just talking about romantic relationships. Whether it was with friends or colleagues (especially seniors), I would modify myself almost instinctively. Should my voice be sweeter? My jokes dirtier? If you wanted to know who I was eating with that day, all you had to do was look at the clothes I was wearing.

The changes were subtle, but they still reflected a truth: I didn’t feel like the real me was enough so I was worried that other people would also find her lacking. I told myself that if I just kept working at it, I would someday become a version of Lara that everyone accepted.

Eventually I only knew how to get my cues from the external world. I would always base my next step on feedback I got from others. Most people considered me easy to get along with, but I grew more and more unhappy.

I think I had it all wrong. My first priority should have been listening to my inner voice. Whether or not other people agree with it is not in my control nor of my concern. Take looking for a partner. Even if I found the person of my dreams, it would never last if I couldn’t be myself around them.

I am 33 years old. So What? I finally understand that "the present self" is the most important thing on the timeline of life! It’s time to prioritize me!

By the way, is anyone curious about the meaning of "{}" this time? Besides the more commonly known representation of parentheses as prioritization, these curly brackets are called “the empty set”. The empty what? If like me, math is not your strongest suit, think of it as an empty suitcase. "Empty" doesn’t mean nothing, but infinite possibilities! What will you fill your life with this time?

Haishenwai and Hong Kong (Lee Yee)

July 1, on the day of the 23rd anniversary of the Handover of Hong Kong’s sovereignty, the Hong Kong National Law was promulgated.

July 2, the Russian Embassy in China published an article and a promotional video on its official Weibo to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the founding of Vladivostok. The article explained that Vladivostok means “ruling the East”.

During the Qing Dynasty, this city was called Haishenwai. It sits at the junction of Russia, China, and Korea. Facing the sea on three sides, this is a nonfreezing port. Since the Tang Dynasty, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing all had jurisdiction over this city. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Yongming City [literal translation in English was the City of Eternal Light]. In the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed to Haishenwai. Its port was opened even before Hong Kong, and was a location with much more geographical significance than Hong Kong.

Russia’s acquisition of Haishenwai in 1860 was made possible through extortion during the Anglo-French defeat of China, also known as the Second Opium War. The defeat of the Qing Dynasty led to the signing of Convention of Peking that consisted of treaties between the British and the Chinese, and the French and the Chinese respectively. Seeing the opportunity, Russia insisted that it helped in mediation, and asked that the treaty between the Russian and the Chinese be signed as well. Britain, with the treaty, took the Kowloon Peninsula. Russia, however, wanted more. It asked that the Convention of Peking not only recognize the validity of the 1858 Treaty of Aigun, but to designate the 400,000 square kilometers of Sino-Russia co-governed land, from the east of the Ussuri River to the sea (including Haishenwai), all to the sole sovereignty of Russia.

There have been several border talks with the Soviet Union and Russia since the establishment of the CCP, the last of which was an agreement between the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers in Vladivostok to determine the border covering thousands of kilometers between the two countries. It was an equivalent of China recognizing the Nebuchu Treaty, the Treaty of Aigun, the Convention of Peking, the Treaty of Tarbagatai and the land occupied by Russia in 1900, totaling 1.44 million square kilometers of land that is about 1360 Hong Kong. In the past, the city of Vladivostok came with “Haishenwai” in parentheses on Chinese maps. Now the parenthesis are gone.

The Russian Embassy in China’s commemoration of the 160th anniversary of the founding of Vladivostok on China’s Weibo, and the claim that it meant “ruling the East” were like a huge slap on the faces of mainland netizens who have long been bathing in patriotism. It started a wave of online anti-Russia sentiments. The typical mentality and rhetoric of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson would be that Russia is “deliberately provoking” and “seriously hurting the feelings of the Chinese people”. Yet, this time, China has been silent.

In view of the turbulence on the Internet, Global Times’ editor-in-chief, Hu Xijin, posted on Weibo to put out the fire. He admitted that the Russians have not been respectful of the Chinese public, but the fact is that Vladivostok belongs to Russia, and said that “Us Chinese must accept this”. He cautioned that pro-America camps have been using the native land nostalgia of the Chinese to incite hatred towards Russia.

Yet haven’t the CCP been indoctrinating the native land nostalgia all along? Isn’t the hatred for Russia incited by the Russian Embassy’s Weibo? How are these related to the pro-America camps?

In the same 1860 Convention of Peking, while Britain handed over a prosperous international financial center to China after 130 years, Russia is celebrating 160 years of “ruling the East”. After the enactment of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, China condemned Britain’s new BNO policy, but expressed the “need to accept” to the Russian occupation and “slap in the face”.

The ideological foundation of the National Security Law is “without a country, there’s no home”, to promote “patriotism” and to punish “betrayal”. But where comes the rights for us commoners to betray the country? My late literary friend, Xiao Tong, said, “Give me 5 cents and I’ll sell you the country.” For something that is not yours, you have no right to sell it, nor the right to love it.

What are Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and V-MAX (buoy max)?
It is one of the large-scale automatic operation two-wheeled vehicles from which export is begun in 1985 from YAMAHA MOTOR to foreign countries. It was being sold by Japan for a certain period of time.
The formal nomenclature is Vmax. It was sold by the name of Vmax12 in the United States. The body type is a naked type, is an American type, and is peculiar, that it is not possible to take it. Installed engines are four type cylinders 1,200cc of four water-cooled strokes V. The design that is reminiscent of the game vehicle in which it participates in a drag racing that competes for the speed in the start acceleration from 0mph and American motor sports causes the charm of one's own. The accelerating force was said at the announcement this time that it surpassed Porsche, and the arrival time to distance 0?1/4 mile of the drag racing (about 402m) boasted of the ability that reached the stand for ten seconds. The deep-rooted popularity is kept in the large-scale motorcycle market in Japan though 20 years or more have already passed from the sale. Moreover, an original design of dummy became popular as for the fuel tank (The real thing was the seat under) and the air duct, too.
V boost system

Maximum this feature in the vehicle was to have installed the device that was called V boost system. It is a mechanism that the butterfly valve that ties from the vicinity where engine revolutions exceeded 6,000 rotations before and behind the intake manifold under the carburetor begins to open, it becomes opening completely in 8,500 rotations, it changes into twin pots a cylinder (state that two carburetors are connected), the state to have installed the big diameter carburetor only when rotating high is produced, and a large amount of air-fuel mixture is introduced aggressively in the cylinder. Actually, it was the one it was possible to blow strongly the sudden change for every 6,500 rotations enough to actually feel 145ps that was the world's largest car of mass-producing on the market at that time output. However, the adoption was put off by the body of the domestic specification put on the market back because of the horsepower restriction. However, parts of the relation were sold to V boost like the kit that installed V boost in a domestic specification with the back and the full-time V boost system, etc. , and finishing up a domestic specification more than an overseas specification became possible.
Anecdote

...United States.. ..".. thing of having answered promptly," compared with the question that the engineer of the own country (Japan) it when Vmax is made says to the United States, "When making it, does it only have to be made the output of which extent a standard?" is a famous story.

If first target time of 0-1/4 miles cannot be achieved because it became too heavy too much while producing it, the designer : , saying that "Is 'Parts of the engine' and is there a motorcycle about plastic?" as soon as it takes and he or she starts making the air scoop made of the nonmetal because the engineer of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. that has misgivings is a dummy anyway because he or she got angry. Most of the body exterior except the fender etc. are composed of the Cromori steel or aluminum (Of course, the time of the target is cleared).

The anecdote that the insurance of so-called "Macho motorcycle" of the Vmax type soars remains in North America after that because the photograph of the burnout of opening wide that extends to the demonstration of the burnout by the Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. works rider of WGP and Kenny Roberts and the founder catalogs by two pages was too sensational when the debut is announced.

The legend "Nobody kept completely opening everyone" was plausibly circulated from the debut for several years at the people though it was an episode to make the age felt.
