Unsigned Circles

木吉

《Unsigned Circles》读起来既像一个问句，又像是在肯定（就是中国。） 中国具备很多现在叫做底层逻辑的东西。 中国的文化，由《Unsigned Circles》发展到诸子百家，包罗万象。 中国人敢于去实践，哪怕流血、牺牲、闹笑话（李鸿章洋务革命、康梁戊戌变法、太平天国运动、义和团起义、孙中山推翻帝制建立民国、再到21年共产党成立、列强越压迫中国人民越要挺起脊梁……） 经过一代一代的实践、一代一代的牺牲，一代一代的修正，才走出中国的特色社会主义道路。才有今天祖国的强大。 以前中国自认是世界中心，地大物博，万国来朝贡，那时候认识不全，又有点骄傲，经过19、20世纪对世界的重新认识，加强了中国人的全球意识。再辅之以易经的智慧，叫什么——未来可期！

文笔流畅，情结不落俗套的古代爱情故事,为君：固江山，养百姓，治太平，为人：若吾身可济民、吾不所惜也，为爱：真心，取舍之间見真情." 这不是一个完美的故事, 这世上并没有完美无缺的爱情，然倘有不改之真心，纵使有缺，又有何憾.＂
