1. Ancient Chinese women do not wear their hair loose on the head like modern women. 2. Red clothing is reserved for festive and important occasions, as the red dye is expensive. And nobody would wear red in a war and make themselves a conspicuous target. 3. Mulan’s house is too fancy and her...

There is a popular American graphics novel series called Bone by Jeff Smith. It features these three really cute, Disney-style characters called bone, and a beautiful human warrior princess named Thorn. The story is set in a mythical European style country. It’s very exciting, funny, with a...

I once heard the following Indian legend: In ancient days when India was divided into many countries, a king was traveling incognito around the country one day, and he saw a bunch of kids playing war. One side was heading by a girl, who was directing the her group to fight. She was so good that...

Then one day, the king sent a degree that the prince needs to get married, and tradition has it that one village will be chosen by sacred lot to...

…in fact, there is no such thing as “the chi.” The original spelling is “qi”, but most Americans and many Chinese cannot pronounce the “q” consonant in Mandarin, so Disney is spelling it as chi. Qi is similar to chi, but you need to make the chi sound without rolling the tongue and just press...

Villager: “Who are you?” Mulan: “I am Mulan.” Villager: “Mulan who?” Mulan: “Mulan... Skywalker” -- by JediLateForTheBattleAgainOhWell

DS14 is raised as a Disney kid in that he has been going to Disney World yearly since he was 4. Back when he was DS5, we went on the Disney Dream cruise ship. We stopped at some port in the Bahamas. The cruise had a daily schedule newspaper, and that day, the first sentence in the newspaper...

I went to first grade in a little town in China. I remember having one textbook, which was made with unbleached recycled paper. It was gray, bumpy like toilet paper without the softness, and didn’t have any pictures or color. It contained nothing but the sayings of Chairman Mao. The first...

During the past few years, Disney has been remaking their classic cartoons into live action to great financial success. Mulan is the next remake that is coming out next month on Disney plus, and I believe that it will be the only unpopular remake Disney will ever create. The biggest problem...

If you look at any chart of countries or states that has had a surge of covid, such as New York, Italy, or Sweden, you will notice that their surge (bump on the curve) lasts no more than 2 months, counting from the beginning of the wave to the end. In fact, Sweden, the country that never locked...

Back when Disney World closed, the covid new daily cases was around 200 in Florida. A few months later when they announced reopening, the cases were around 1000. Now, Florida is making it to10,000 case per day. You know what this means? It means all these months of closing was a complete waste...

With Disney reopening, many people are debating over the requirement for face masks. I’ve heard arguments from both sides, but I’ve never heard anybody mention the most crucial point of face masks: the math. Your average face mask I’ve seen people wear blocks at best about 2/3 of particles...

The coronavirus has a fatality rate of something between 0.5% to 3.4%, and it attacks not just the lungs but a vast array of body organs and systems from head to toe, causing all kinds of problems. It is capable of asymptomatic transmission, making it extremely infectious and most of the world’s...

The government is talking about reopening the economy now. When Disney World reopens, I’m eager to see if the Skyliner will open right along with it. Why wouldn’t it reopen with everything else? It wouldn’t reopen if it costs too much to run. That is, if buses are much cheaper, the Skyliner will...

Ventilators save lives, but there's a terrible price to pay for using them. I feel that most people should try to be mentally prepared by reading about the downside of using a ventilator. Here is a free Washington Post article about it...

Just today, the CDC declares that the Americans should wear masks, but not the store bought ones being that there aren’t any to buy. You need to make your own mask. The CDC are funny sometimes, aren't they? Make my own mask, goodness. I actually own a sewing machine, but no, I’m not making any...

Currently published South Korea numbers: Total cases: 9976 Total death: 169 Death rate: 169/9976=1.7% South Korea have the most trustworthy data right now. They have done extensive testing, and their death rate has been kept low enough that their hospitals are not overwhelmed. The US hospitals...

1. The coronavirus is here to stay. Even if we get through the next week, the next month it will still be there next year. Even if we recover now, we’ll catch it again in a few months or years. Even if we have mild symptoms the first time we catch it, we might have severe symptoms the next time...

There is a rumor that if the parks don’t open by summer, Disney is going to go bankrupt. I don’t believe that, but in a way, I think it’s good that the coronavirus is bringing Disney to their knees because Disney have grown more and more arrogant in the recent years. I am referring specifically...
