Book Description
Positive Energy: Illuminate Unlimited Energy will take you deep into the three important meanings in your whole life. The first is your BaZi DNA. BaZi means you will know what will happen in your life because its already been chosen for you. All this is based from God; we cant change it, neither will natural human influentials. Reading and understanding the content contained in these pages will help you in balancing out your energies and the worlds energies around you. The second is about your luck which is based on your Zodiac Fortune. This is basic from the month and year you were born. Asia has over 6,000 years knowledge on this information already. The information is followed by the moon, stars, and the sun. Weve used that information since 2006. This also means this does not only work on just Asian people, but also everyone else as well. This is about knowledge only and not based on religion. The third is Feng Shui. Feng Shui mostly has to do with the inside and outside energy of the house. You want to try to have positive energy in your house so you can have positive results. The book details with examples of house positions. When you have a positive house, your life situations change. Your money gets better, your relationship will grow, youll be feeling better at work, and the arguments will ease. These are the three steps you should follow to improve your life. Positive Energy: Illuminate Unlimited Energy will provide a step-by-step guide. If you succeed on the first and second steps, you will know who we are and how to help yourself and your loved ones.. As humans we are like a big tree, the first and second steps are like the trees roots. The third step is giving a vitamin to the tree. So if you want to live prosperously, we have to fix the roots first not just fill ourselves with nutrients.

Lianda
Author: John Israel
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804765243
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 710
Book Description
In the summer of 1937, Japanese troops occupied the campuses of Beijing’s two leading universities, Beida and Qinghua, and reduced Nankai, in Tianjin, to rubble. These were China's leading institutions of higher learning, run by men educated in the West and committed to modern liberal education. The three universities first moved to Changsha, 900 miles southwest of Beijing, where they joined forces. But with the fall of Nanjing in mid-December, many students left to fight the Japanese, who soon began bombing Changsha. In February 1938, the 800 remaining students and faculty made the thousand-mile trek to Kunming, in China’s remote, mountainous southwest, where they formed the National Southwest Associated University (Lianda). In makeshift quarters, subject to sporadic bombing by the Japanese and shortages of food, books, and clothing, students and professors did their best to conduct a modern university. In the next eight years, many of China’s most prominent intellectuals taught or studied at Lianda. This book is the story of their lives and work under extraordinary conditions. Lianda’s wartime saga crystallized the experience of a generation of Chinese intellectuals, beginning with epic journeys, followed by years of privation and endurance, and concluding with politicization, polarization, and radicalization, as China moved from a war of resistance against a foreign foe to a civil war pitting brother against brother. The Lianda community, which had entered the war fiercely loyal to the government of Chiang Kai-shek, emerged in 1946 as a bastion of criticism of China’s ruling Guomindang party. Within three years, the majority of the Lianda community, now returned to its north China campuses in Beijing and Tianjin, was prepared to accept Communist rule. In addition to struggling for physical survival, Lianda’s faculty and students spent the war years striving to uphold a model of higher education in which modern universities, based in large part on the American model, sought to preserve liberal education, political autonomy, and academic freedom. Successful in the face of wartime privations, enemy air raids, and Guomindang pressure, Lianda’s constituent universities eventually succumbed to Communist control. By 1952, the Lianda ideal had been replaced with a politicized and technocratic model borrowed from the Soviet Union.
