The Lion Sleeps Tonight 安睡的狮王

The Lion Sleeps Tonight 安睡的狮王

还是1999年，那年我快要毕业的时候，有个外国小孩出现在了我的宿舍，他很像古巴人，才4岁，很可爱。

有一天晚上他去了经贸大男生宿舍楼211房间，当时我已经躺在床上睡着了，模糊中发现他的身影。小可可看着我睡觉呢！

我从床上坐了起来，穿上鞋，走到桌子旁坐了上去。我问他怎么不回家，怎么不去睡觉。他摇着小脑瓜，一声不吭，可爱的小脸蛋真是太甜了。一时兴趣，自编自唱了一首歌，灵感来自于当年刚播放不久的美国动画片《狮子王》。歌词很简单，因为是唱给4岁孩子的------我模仿了以前看过的动画片的思路，写了这首仿非洲大陆的歌曲：沉睡的狮子，寂静的村落，美妙的落日余晖----那就是我想象中的非洲！

时隔八年，我在网上发现了这首歌曲-----The Lion Sleeps Tonight 安睡的狮王。而且还是当年我和小可可Lucky Jackie一起玩的时候用过的卡通形象：河马Hippo和小狗狗Doggie。

前国家总理小女人吴仪一定知道前因后果，一定知道这首歌怎么被带到美国，又被说成是非洲祖鲁人的民歌。

Memory about Chinese medicine

It is great to study something that really happened in life. In my case, this is Chinese medicine. Once during my childhood, I kept coughing for a long time, which seemed to be more than a month. Even though my parents bought me syrup, the cough continued untill one day a colleague of Dad recommended us to eat steamed pears. Mom was shocked with the idea, but she prepared me with a steamed pear. It was hollowed out and filled with rock sugar and pepper. It tasted strange and almost disgusted me. Strangely, it healed my disease.  Now I am nearly fifty and studying Chinese medicine. I have found that there are more miracles than I could imagine.

There is a third world war

No real civilization has ever been really realized on earth, but war after avarice, jealousy and hatred, which have always been guiding commoners like us. Those ugly powers have never changed themselves, forever omnipotent and immortal, from generation to generation, and staged a coup after another with the social systems changing to accord with their own needs. They do not care about ordinary people like us. This opion of mine might be offesive to patriotic citizens. However, do you know that coronavirus spread after the demonstration in Hongkong and then Russa invaded Ukraine? Do not expect them to sit down and debate! They are all arragant and ready to shoot at each other. Their atombombs are already in lauch mode.

My prediction about the future in 2022

I do worry about the future of this world, wondering if there will be miracles. After the demonstration in Hongkong started a political suppression in 2019, and after the coronavirus spread across the globe, and after Russia invaded Ukraine, there seems another wars ready to happen. When they take place, in my opinion, there would be more tiny countries popping out around ours, especially in Asia. These countries would get rid of their old traditions as well as political systems, joining into federations like USA. They would speak languages as popular as English. They would adopt immigrants and refugees. Moreover, they would all respect human rights!
