The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.
过去是一个异国；他们在那里做事的方式不同。
过去从未死去。它甚至不是过去。
Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.
I don't want to be remembered; I want to be felt.
农业是国家的根本；军队是国家的武器，城廓是守护自身的保障。这三者是国家应当具备的。
The story itself is the protagonist, rather than the story of the people.
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
