I stumped upon this person when searching for anime. I liked his illustrations of Asian classics. I found what he said is very meaningful. This is the first video that made me want to write this blog after I looked into the biography of this person.

This Youtube video is found below:

Speaker background:

I am a simple guy. I like simple stuff. I also live simple life. 

I decided to note down interesting and helpful ideas, philosophy (especially ancient Chinese philosophers) and practical advises for those who wishes to have a simple life in this complex, busy and tiring world. 🌎


Another reason is I forget easily. So this blog makes it easier for me to refer when I need to refresh the information. 😝

Most of the sources are likely from YouTube videos in Mandarin (I will be translating them to English to the best of my abilities for English readers to understand these videos.) or books and any other sources that I can find. I do not own these sources and I am just keeping them as references for my personal use. What I hope to share in my blog is to allow a single location for the sources that I find useful to me. Don't hate me if you don't feel that way.
