Hi bodawei

You can see the words “爸” (father) and “妈” (mother) in an ancient Chinese dictionary 《广雅》, which was edited about the 3rd century.

对话中提到的“北方游牧民族”具体指的是“突厥” (tu1jue2, turks)。

In general, two-character words are more specific semantically than one-character words are.

我不怕人类彻底灭亡,但是很怕人类“不彻底”灭亡。死亡者肯定不会羡慕幸存者!

Please just google with keywords "cultural revolution" and "tall hat" (or "cone hat" etc), which is blocked here in the PRC.

用硫磺熏制的一次性筷子和洗得不干净的永久性筷子,到底是哪个更放心?食品危险,餐具也不安全,空气污染对身体有害,水质当然达不到标准,在中国的日子真的不好过,大家想开点吧!

Hi bodawei

Yeah, it might be worth looking into from the standpoint of cultural anthropology, hehe.
