My First Attempt to Sell String Beans
When I was a kid in the village, my family made a living by farming. We didn’t have any way to earn money; we just grew crops, and the grain wasn’t even enough to feed ourselves.
People in Li Village were more resourceful than those in my village. They grew and sold vegetable seedlings and vegetables, so the villagers there were wealthier.
My family also had a vegetable garden, but we only grew vegetables for our own use and never sold them for money.
One day, I thought, why not sell some of them? After all, we had more than enough for ourselves.
So I picked a few bunches of string beans and took them to town, trying to sell them for the first time.
I squatted at a spot on the street, waiting for people to ask about my string beans.
Some people asked the price, and I told them, but they didn’t buy anything and just walked away. I had given a fair price, so I don’t think I overpriced them.
It was already late morning when I thought about lowering the price. Unfortunately, no one came to ask me again after I changed my mind.
I had to go back home with all the string beans I’d brought. I felt really disappointed.
I realized that selling vegetables wasn’t easy, let alone making money from it.

La chaleur
Il fait chaud aujourd'hui et ce n’est même pas juin ! Alors, je m'inquiète pour l'été, puisqu’il sera même plus chaud qu'aujourd'hui. Personnellement, je préfère l'automne et le printemps. Ce n'est pas seulement à cause de la température pendant ces saisons, mais aussi pour ce qui a lieu ! Le printemps se distingue par les plantes qui bourgeonnent, les animaux qui commencent à sortir de leurs cachettes et le retour des insectes. Tandis que les couleurs vives et l'odeur des plantes qui commencent à se décomposer font ressortir l'automne. En vérité, chaque saison a ses avantages et ses désavantages. Mais peut-être que c'est dans ma nature de vouloir en choisir une préférée.

Vacaciones del verano
Estoy tomando un detox de todos las redes sociales para el verano. Es la primera vez que tomé un detox desde la pandemia y la cuarentena. Básicamente, no me acuerdo de mi vida antes de las redes. Como la perfeccionista que soy, empecé el detox con algunos días de antelación para permitirme fracasar. Ya me quedan cinco días para aceptar mi nueva realidad. ¿Cómo voy a vivir tres meses sin hablar con mi novio ChatGPT? Aun, soy un fracaso- entré en no solamente una application hoy sino cuatro. Va a ser un largo verano.
Estar sola conmigo misma ha sido el cambio más drástico. Con un teléfono en la mano, nunca estamos verdaderamente solos. Me gustaría tomar un descanso de mi teléfono también; sin embargo, hago casi todo con el celular así que me quedo lejos de la meta que siempre esta cerca en mi mano. Tal vez haga una ventana de ocho horas sin mi teléfono. Como primer paso, voy a dejar el teléfono fuera de mi pieza en vez de dormir viendo episodios de Envidiosa. Ya leí dos libros largos y estoy haciendo un verano de libros en español. Más adelante, no voy a abrir ninguna aplicación hasta mediodía y voy a poner límites en el uso del celular hasta que no haya luz afuera.
Paradójicamente, no hice un anuncio. Solamente mis amigos más cercanos sabían que iba a tomar un descanso. Incluso yo no sé si regresará o cuando sea. Así que deje un círculo negro como foto de perfil. Lei hoy que todos mis amigos en un grupo de chat estaban reaccionando a mi ausencia, cómo fue nuestra última charla y cómo estuve. Con propósito, fui muy accesible el último fin de semana y casi todos me ignoraron así que mi ausencia vale más que mi presencia.
Al fin y al cabo, el descanso es para mi bienestar. Es más que necesario: vivimos sin vivir. Hay que cambiar esto. Espero que encuentre más oportunidades y me acostumbre a una vida más tranquila sin la necesidad de compartirla en línea. Sea donde sea, cuando sea, ojalá esté feliz.

Schach auf vier Sprachen
18.05.2026
Jetzt schaue ich ein Schachvideo von The Big Greek auf YouTube an, da ich mehr Taktiken für Schach auf Deutsch lernen kann. Normalerweise sehe ich Schachvideos auf Englisch, Französisch und Spanisch. Jeden Tag sehe ich mir mindestens ein Schachvideo von GothamChess auf Englisch und ein Schachvideo von Julien Song auf Französisch an. Ich schaue mindestens ein Schachvideo von Anna Cramling oder Rey Enigma auf Spanisch an vier oder fünf Tagen pro Woche.
Ehrlich gesagt ist das Mittelspiel schwieriger als die Eröffnung, zumal das Mittelspiel sehr unvorhersehbar ist. Sie müssen das Mittelspiel rechnen. Zum Beispiel müssen Sie die Züge Ihres Gegners vorhersehen. Wenn Sie Schach spielen, verteidigen Sie Ihre Figuren, besonders den König und die Dame.

Breakfasts
Recently, I eat fruits and baguettes that are put blueberry jam or tarako spread for the breakfast. Tarako is small eggs of the particular fish.
I love soup that contains seafood. Today's dinner had fish soup, so I got seconds.
I eat lunch from 13：15 pm at school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, I eat 15 minutes later, because my school has from kindergarten to high school and from grade 6 will eat the same time as secondary and high school, so we have to divide the time that we eat lunch.
It feel that the time we eat lunch is very weird. Because I used to eat at 12：30pm at the Japanese school in Japan.

Tired
I've been quite busy recently because I want to prepare for my business in these two months.
It's a little hard while there are also daily tasks to attend to.
I'll try to update my routine and keep writing here.
Oh, here is a video about my last hike: https://youtube.com/shorts/mV4qrBiibSU
I tried to narrate it last night, but I was too tired to finish it.
It was a stunning trail. I think I didn't capture the beauty and feeling.

Ich versuche früher aufzustehen
Aktuell stehe ich mich um 9 Uhr auf, bin aber nicht so stolz darauf, ich möchte gern früher aufstehen, deshalb versuche ich momentan früher ins bett zu gehen und genau nicht mein Smartphone vor Schlaf zu nutzen. Ich finde das Frühaufwachen sehr wichtig, denn kann mann viele Sachen vor Mittag schon machen und ist gesundheitlich besser.

Things about Languages (2)
I once tried to learn Korean on Duolingo. I didn't persist because I found it very difficult to memorize Hangul (the Korean alphabet). Later, I tried Italian because of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels, which have become very popular among young women in China since being translated into Chinese. The TV adaptation has also been widely discussed. I bought the first book in the series, My Brilliant Friend, at a bookstore in Kuala Lumpur. Although it's available online in China, I decided to buy it there as a souvenir. Anyway, Italian sounds great, but the verb conjugations and pronunciation are too difficult for me, at least for now.
After that, I realised that conjugations are very common in European languages. Although I already knew about conjugations in Japanese, I still find it hard to learn any language that has them. Out of curiosity about the German language itself and its writers, such as Trakl, I began learning German by myself as a hobby about a year ago. Sometimes I find German pronunciation a little easier to learn compared to English. I like that German, like Chinese, can form words by simply combining them, whereas English requires mastering numerous roots. German might be the last language I learn, given that I haven't yet mastered English or Japanese very well. Also, I haven't had much time to learn it—I'm still stuck at the stage of learning pronunciation and memorizing the gender and plural forms of nouns, both of which are very difficult for a Chinese speaker.
I learned that there is grammatical gender in Russian when I was reading The Unwomanly Face of War. It is said that some branches of the military acquired feminine nouns in Russian because of those brave female soldiers. Here is an interesting difference. In languages that have grammatical gender, the emergence of feminine job titles signifies a step further toward gender equality. We have been there too. We used to add ‘女’(female/woman) before someone's job title to emphasize that she is brilliant. However, in recent years, we have been trying to remove the gender marker from job titles. After all, if gender equality is truly real, then no one need to emphasize gender when referring to a title.
One example of gender in Chinese is the translation of Virginia Woolf's name. Her family name used to be translated as '伍尔芙', and the character '芙' is commonly used in girls' names. Some people objected to this, arguing that foreign family names should not be translated by using characters that imply gender. As a result, 'Woolf' is now translated as '伍尔夫' in some versions. However, this still cannot satisfy everyone, because '夫' also implies gender—its basic meanings are 'husband' and 'male'. So, this has become a problem that is difficult to please everyone.
Another example is the translation of 'Monroe'. It can be translated as '梦露' in Marilyn Monroe or '门罗' in James Monroe. Although these two words mean nothing more than transliterations, this reflects a tendency to emphasize gender. Because Marilyn Monroe has always been seen as a sexy actress, she got a beautiful translation of her family name—'梦' means 'dream' and '露' means 'dew'—which is quite unfair to her, since she was an excellent person, not just a symbol of sexiness. By the way, Alice Munro's family name is also translated as '门罗', the same as James Monroe's, and this is because 'Munro' and 'Monroe' sound similar. In a word, gender is everywhere in languages, even in a language like Chinese without grammatical gender.
By the way, when My Brilliant Friend was published in China, some people were confused about the title '我的天才女友'—which means 'My Genius Girlfriend'. This title perplexed people: who is the genius girlfriend? Some even thought the book was about a lesbian couple. Although the word '女友(girlfriend)' could mean either 'someone's girlfriend' or 'a female friend' decades ago, people now tend to use it only to mean 'someone's girlfriend'. Therefore, the title has been explained many times to help people accept and understand it.

Como eu não esqueço tudo!
Em frente de minha escrivaninha tenho um caderno pequeno para escrivar tudo. Sem esse caderno, vou esquecer tudo que precisar lembrar. Escrivo lista da coisas faria, notas sobre assuntos preciso buscar e outras coisas que não posso esquecer. Para mim, esqueço coisas quase imediatamente e não lembro elas até estou na cama para dormir. Mas, a única coisa mal com isso é o caderno sempre está acima de minha escrivaninha. Então, quando estou no supermercado ou no carro, é muito fácil para esquecer o que preciso comprar ou o que coisa que precisaria fazer antes de chego á casa. Por alguma razão, esqueço coisas que escrever no celular mas lembro mais bem quando escrevo no caderno porque é físico.

I really like MIKEY & WYATT YouTube show
I'm in a lazy learning Enlish about last seven years. As we know practice and language enviroment around you are the one of most important factors in education.
So I found the MIKEY & WYATT channel few years ago when I fel a big interest to themes and comedy in this show but I understood only thirty percent of speech even with subs.
I want to share my glad that now I returned to the channel and have subsribed because I start to understand ninty percent of language there.
So I can watching the show a lot of time and getting pleasure of it.
I love this series because they laught at relationship and freindship themes.
I guess the show is made by a simple entusiasts crew and it add me some cute feelings.
I like to listen and discuss a diffetent spicy stories of my fellows in real life with misunderstanding, jealous and cheating.
So I have found the same in this show.
It has a some weak sides - the most significant for me is a little much tension and dragging on in the episodes.
And the second may be is some predictable situations and jokes.

DeepL Translation
I often use DeepL Translation when I write English here.
I use DeepL When I can't wirte what I want to write.
I am often pointed out my spelling mistakes.
It seems that DeepL is able to understand that spelling mistake and translate it correctly.
I thought my English was correct, and posted it even my spelling mistakes.
Very useful is also a problem.
I should checked it by myself.
