The "Celebrating Flower Deities" has everything I love about Chinese culture: dances, poetry, beautiful hanfu, Chinese drama actors...but it also uses AI a lot.

This 5-minute Spring Gala Festival performance had everything I loved about Chinese culture: poetry, dance, beautiful hanfu and CDrama actors. However, one needs lots of context to truly appreciate this performance. I'm here to provide it.

Calling "The Lychee Road" a comedy is shortchanging it. Instead it's an illustration of the last day of empire, when the whims and pleasures of the rich devour the poor and lower classes.

How scandalous! But it's true. I remember a time when books opened from left to right, not the way western books are: from right left.
Chinese characters were also written top to bottom, columns are from right to left.
It's now in the Western style.
I can't remember when it changed 🤔 […]
