Head vs Heart

 Head vs Heart Decisions

Plans and Spontaneity

Have you ever taken a turn, or without a plan make a decision that brings more benefits than you could ever dream for that day, what happened, and did you believe that the benefits outweigh the worries, efforts, or otherwise plans you would have made?

Well Ditto!

This is the feeling and awareness I have experienced today, Spontaneous reaction Yes, this was a last-minute change of heart vs head, and you know who won

A Brand New Start

Today after my usual workout in my community, the decision was set I Got ready had the all planned out, it was to visit the city check out some places of past haunts revive some memories, and maybe some fresh ones in the process, yet as I arrive at the metro station, I was immediately reminded of a stream I saw and had decided I would try when the moment was right, well why not today my little shoulder devil said? when would the time ever be right I pondered!

Having this epiphany, I considered how nice the day was and the cool wind to assist my walk, it seemed perfect a choice.

Where it would lead me to was not important, I would just walk as far as I felt and make detours as and when I needed, let's be clear about one thing here, I am not one for trails and serious trip planning, so this was going to be a baptism of fire in a good way, a test of what's to come.

Arriving at the place of the stream, I surveyed the scene, and looking up and down I could see that it had great potential, why? well, the flower blossoms staring me in vibrant pink and purple beckoned me on, enticing me to commit on this river escapade, and so I did!

The stairs to the river were filled with overhanging trees and all filled to the brim with these vivid flowers, birds swooped around wildly, butterflies chased each other in a kind of erratic love mating madness, the mood was set and I was primed to get underway.

People's Interests

A few fishermen sat on the river's edge, some of the young families hunkered around the waters edge with fresh catch, discussing what to do about it, if to throw it back or keep it in the jar of water already holding a few fish.

Walking past I focussed on putting one foot after another in the direction of my goal, I could feel the rush of a cool breeze full in the face, It was refreshing and inclined to welcome the effort ahead, Mobilized, invigorated, and fired up my stroll became faster, but with a casualness, I might add all was looking good!

Breakwater Crossing and Scene

Coming to a bend in the river I came to a small breakwater but well designed allowing people to cross by standing on strategically equally placed slabs of stone, this sure was a real treat, with added interest as I also noticed partly hidden stair, with a cultural building above on the other side, additionally further down the river loomed a bridge in typical Chinese style architecture, this I had to see up close.

Chinese Culture and Myths

Ascending the stairway I entered another world, Chinese cultural  buildings and garden was already promising, greeted by a small secluded gift and snack shop, further along, were avenues of trees and outbuildings all in Chinese traditional designs, one was a 9th story tower, [akin to the ''tower of Pizza',]

 

Walking towards trees judging to be over 100 years, I was pleasantly confronted by a huge building in the shape of ''long cheng'' Dragon in Gold and Red, holding what can be described as a LARGE  pearl in its mouth, If there is a significance to that but I am not privy to it.

The body of the creature disappeared into the trees and snaked away around the bend, appearing from time to time between the tall trees for what looked like 400 feet or more. the tail was somewhere in the distance there!

Chinese Dragons

The Dragon is a Mythical creature of great strength, power, and a signature of Chinese culture, from ions ago, Just watch movies like Bruce lee's 'Enter the Dragon', China State shows of Men in Costumes and a big Dragon Head, performing incredible acrobatics on stilts and in the streets, a culmination of musical cultural dances, beautifully and skillfully in an extravagant display

Deciding to check out the size of this structure I came across many other interesting activities and objects,

This comprised of a communal area with outdoor working gym apparatus, children's play area, and gardens in full bloom and shockingly vivid colors

Strikingly Beautiful Path

The Bridge I saw earlier was a more attractive close-up, with an arched body ''like in a fairy tail'' elaborate carvings and painted archways hung overhead, on those were many typical red lanterns, all along with the structure of the bridge, People stood taking photos and some resting on the wooden benches either side of the walkway it was the place for a photoshoot

People and Interaction

The day was filled with more interaction of men, women, Students, even the older generations than I can ever remember in my years living in China, this day brought it all together without even trying other than an impromptu change to my plans, the scene was here people were enjoying the environment and perhaps by that very nature receptive or susceptible to making an effort in conversation, I can count at least 7 people from school kids, young ladies, grandfathers playing instruments, guys working out on the bars, and kiddos with mums running after them, incredible and yet unusual in my years of experience in china.

Finally, I arrived at the entrance of what was a park, Another huge dragon was also there spouting out water from the mouth as an ornament statue, as a quiet day I was lucky to appreciate the item without too much interruption, my perfect photo shooting began again.

The Early Bird Gets No Breakfast.

Of all the days I decided to give my usual cereals and nuts a rest, I needed something else, but by the time I arrived at this park it was perhaps 2 hrs later, so around noon I was starved and had only a flask of Chinese tea to stave off hunger and a rumbling stomach. Restaurants I could not find al were working small shops, so I elect to find a corner shop and purchased a cola and a large tub of ice cream with nuts, Witting on a chair outside the Shop [usual in china] I sat to enjoy this treat.

Inquisitive Passersby

Kids from school passing by curiously surrounded me and inquired who was and why I was in China, my name, and so on... asking if they could be my friend, lol attracting two passing young women also curious about what was going on, more conversation ensued.

The crazy thing was that the shop owner came out shortly after the ladies had taken my contact details and left, He began asking curiously if I was wearing some special perfume because he couldn't understand why I was so popular only after being outside the shop some 30mins?...lol funny guy!

I must say that being to communicate in the language, (though not fluently in Chinese,) Without the ability this would not have taken place, the natives survey you as just a foreign traveler, leaving a void which they feel unsure, and most likely not approach.

More excitement was in my mind as to how the rest of this day is likely to unfold.

Finally a Late Lunch

Making up for the loss of energy and being absolutely starved, arriving at a nice restaurant near home, I pushed the boat out ordering two delicious dishes a soup and a side dish of green-leaved vegetable, that hit the mark 110%,  Lovely!

 

This Story's Morals

The moral of this story is that no matter how unexcited, boring, set routine, or dismal it seems, there are times where rational vs intuitiveness decision making takes the back seat, In many cases, I find myself whether they be in UK, Kyiv, Europe, Asia or with family, it pays off than not!

Getting out and exercising both your legs and mind puts you in the social scene, places you in situations of possibilities, not just for you but others out there perhaps also in the same frame of mind or situation. looking for alternatives and options.

We all want, even desire change, interaction, social connections, interventions, inspiration, and conversation to exist as normal people, without it we surely will not grow, be what we can be, achieve higher or better self-esteem, grab opportunities, To be in the Game or on the playing field.

You don't need to be a guru, a socialite, an extrovert, or some smooth-talking chic' or dude, Instead just get into the stream of others' view, bring forward awareness and it will happen naturally.

As I see it, every day we have is a gift and one to pursue with fear, but with open minds and hearts!

CHINA WHOLESALER MANUFACTURERS

A friend's experience to the new Company who initiate a for all visit employees to their glassware factory

A fantastic experience, visiting the glassware production line.

Last Thursday, all the new sales started pre-job training. It is really an unforgettable experience for me.

 

CRYSTAL GLASSWARE MANUFACTURERS

Company: Excellent Operation, 山西宜欧家具用品有限公司

We were sent to Qixian where our factories are located and visited hand-making, semi-automatic, automatic, post-process glassware factories, warehouses, logistics companies, and domestic selling offices.

As is known to all, the raw materials of glassware are sand, to be precise, Silica. It seems easy to transfer Silica into glass FORM.

However, the process of making red wine glassware is much more complex.

 

THE PROCESS OF GLASSWARE

• At first, workers put selected raw materials into a fusing kiln, that is heated to over 1,400 degrees centigrade.

• Then, the first batch of workers removes moderate raw liquid material from the fusing kiln with a long pipe.

• They put it in a fixed mold or unfixed mold and blow the liquid material until the material begins to take shape.

• The second batch of workers adds stems to the blown shapes.

• The third batch of workers adds pedestals to the stems.

• Next, cut the top part of the glass shape after annealing. Polish and chamfer the glass edge.

It is not enough at this point, as washers need to wash the glass several times and dry them. Following that, the rims of all glassware require further polishing on the fire again.

 

Inspection Process

The final but the most important aspect of the process and product lies in its inspection.

Inspectors need to find and qualify any defective line products, applying ratings by signifying items as either first-rate quality and second-best products.

Defective Items

All the defective goods will be sent to the fusing kiln again.

Qualified products are then sent to post-processing factories or be packed for shipping or storage. That is the whole process of manual production.

 

CRYSTAL GLASSWARE: Automatic vs Semi-Automatic

Semi-automatic production and automatic production look easier and much more effective than manual production.

But machine-made glassware is usually heavier and can't avoid revealing ''joint lines'' a ponderous process.

 

Machine vs Handmade

Therefore, machine-made product items can't replace hand-made for the finish and holistic qualities. Top-class quality glassware must be hand-made, requiring workers to have rich experience and high-level skills.

Even the smallest mistake during the manual production process would create a poor or uneven distribution of glass thickness, even bubbles within the glass.

During production, hundreds of workers are engaged in the production of glassware around the scorching heat of the ovens.

The production lines run 24 hours a day and never stop with three batch workers changing shifts.

The scene was so collaborative that I felt the greatness of laborers and these special skills.

Moreover, each product was treated carefully because it represented the sweat and painstaking effort of laborers.

My Travel Experience

I traveled back to China on a 2-year travel visa from the UK, Yes just before the Pandemic, So since Feb 2019 I have was issued with temporary stay resident visa after the expiry of my travel visa. As an ex-pat my regular PSB visit issues 1 month to 3 months visas, I have come to realize that period of stay is now primarily placed on funds in your Chinese bank account.

• Each visit you have to present copies with today's date of the balances

 

Inflexible Views and Rules 

What Is clear and defining, is that it matters not what you have outside of china, or recently My £UK assets kept in My Bank of China account, ( budgeted to maximize currency rates as required) They appear to only be interested in YUAN balance, additionally, My UK balance made zero difference to my application, no matter how I discussed with the Desk officials, They were not going to accept THATS THE RULES I was told, end of the discussion in a dismissive and haughty way.

SUMMARY

China Transfers

Visa applications are super important, why? well the Chinese PSB office seem to decide on your length of stay at any one time [unless you have a working visa or sponsored diplomat or student exchange type)

My method of transfer to keep out of difficulties is bank transfers, though it is more costly it is established and solid in my case of 10 years in Asia, what I fear is getting the Chinese bank to initiate or set up a new system without hiccups, problems at the time I don't need and could effectively screw up the fluidity and working system I currently have in place

Take care of the pennies and the rest will look after itself

Chinese Billionaires Mindset

 

Chinese Wealthy Group

China has developed and propelled its citizen's elite entrepreneurs and landowners [select groups in many cases] to giddy heights of wealth and prosperity, Making the Chinese Billionaires the highest earners in the world per capita.

China the new Financial Power House: The 40 year of growth of the Chinese markets and economy has changed many lives for the better and wors

Cities like Shenzhen, Beijing, and Shanghai have demonstrated this wealth only too ostentatiously, flaunting it in the faces of the majority rest of the country's [Ren] proletarians and poorly paid workers around the nation hard grafting workers.

Chinese Billionaires Mindset

These select groups of individuals have raised from almost obscurity to god-like figures of wealth.

The Percentage of Wealth is astoundingly biased and unbalanced to a few and the many are left to feed on the scraps.

This already creates a wealth divide that agitates the majority, caused friction by tv shows, frivolous statements by the rich on their lifestyles, insults people in a broader aspect of work against the gain.

Millionaires and Billionaires

Born from opportunities others will never see the light of day as opportunities, not have access to or even have the ability to get on the rung of that ladder, Many filthy rich are born into the wealth generated from a really good day of state in prime areas under government takeovers or independent buy-outs

This Generation of Rich

Have rarely suffered the indignities of climbing the development ladder, no instead earned it freely from the instant commercial boom, others have worked in an environment structured to gain maximum wealth with as little effort as possible, the get rich scenarios. Acquiring personal wealth has been the driving force and mindset of Chinese across the country

THE FLIP SIDE

Undergraduates, new graduate Young Chinese are rebelling against society through a simple act of resistance simply called: ''LYING DOWN''.

The rationale and drive to this action is to show intense disapproval to a controlling life they find themselves facing daily

Resistance to an unhappy working Rat race existence, the passive movement called Tangping, has flourished across the young Chinese millennials. A call to action is growing applying this TANGPING Movement. Supporters portray it as a Soft Defiant rejection against life's endless struggle and survival in the Chinese Working environment

Key Examples of Tangping, (“lying flat”) begins with refusing to get married, against having children, against buying a home, a car, Primarily refusing to work extra hours or having any job period

Others now refer to this action as a form of nonviolent resistance, even “ideological emancipation”. This could also be associated with the early belief and approach by Nelson Mandella's passive movement in Africa, These Young people are disenchanted with their present and future outlook, Preferring to walk away from consumerism, critics categorize this movement as defeatist Mentality

Ideological Emancipation

• rallying call
• have had enough of the Pressures of Working life
• rat race futility
• Beat Generation
• nonviolent resistance ~passive resistance”
• consumerism

How Did 'Tangping' Start

An unemployed Man created a post on the Chinese Tieba forum China in April 2021 Being unemployed over two years, drafted a lifestyle based on the simple living he adopted over the last two years, His grounded do little, low-effort, low-cost lifestyle, appealed to many fairly quickly, His approach to life consisted of working a few months in the year.

His reference to the Greek philosopher Diogenes, He posted a picture of himself lying in bed in the middle of the day with the curtains drawn. saying, “Lying flat is my sophistic movement,”

Sophistry
 

An example of sophistry is when you
use a fact in an argument to make your point even though you know the point is
false. Plausible but fallacious argumentation. Sophistry is the
deliberate use of a false argument with the intent to trick someone or a false
or untrue argument.

Daisy Zhang's Day: Tangping~ laying flat

“I stay at home and sleep and watch television series. Sometimes I go out for walks, read books and just think a lot,” says Daisy 28, after resigning from her job in the film industry in Wuxi a fortnight ago, she described herself as “lying flat”

Chinese youths are now on the wagon train of liberty and independence, a separation from the traditional constraints of their parents and historic family bindings, This is the age of the new Millennials, this generation that will break the mold and bring about international changes for their race and generation
