During his visit to China, Trump mentioned that “a sculpture recognizing that ancient sage (Confucius) is carved into the face of the United States Supreme Court very proudly”.

This is a fact that I didn’t know! It feels unreal to know that Confucius and ancient Chinese philosophies were vigorously studied by the founding fathers of America.

It just reminds me to be proud of our rich culture and, more importantly, not forget to learn from those wise thoughts originated thousands of years ago.

Tianjin, this city 100 kilometers away from Beijing, literally means the ford that the emperor once crossed.
Walking alongside the churches, cathedrals, or even under the Arc de Triomphe and the statues of angels, you might feel like you are in Europe.
If you ask why there is so much western architecture, then I can tell you it’s because Tianjin was forcibly occupied by the western countries like Britain, France, Germany and the US, as well as Japan because of its importance as a trading port. These invaders therefore built many offices, banks and mansions. But they didn’t stay here very long as they gave up their concessions and relinquished their rights gradually after WWII.
What creates a sharp contrast with the pointed arches and grand facades of Neoclassical and Baroque buildings are the grey roof tiles, upturned eaves, and vermillion pillars of temples and pavilions dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Europeans came and went, but Tianjin still stands here, delivering its unique beauty, and will continue to develop on its own.
