01/05/25 - Western medicine only says the heart pumps blood, but Traditional Chinese Medicine knows that the heart contains a God.
“Please repost! #Missing actor “Stars”’s girlfriend makes another post in response. #Missing actor “Stars”’s girlfriend pleads for help and rescue. “On the evening of the 5th of January, a weibo user “Insomniac Daddy” made a post claiming that her actor boyfriend “Stars” had been conned into going to Thailand for a show and has been missing for several days now. This case has drawn tremendous attention on the internet, with multiple celebrities like Ma Tianyu, Gong Jun, Chen Kun, and Jin Xing reposting and wishing their best. Just now, “Insomnia Daddy” has made another post about the latest developments in this case. She claims that she has just arrived in Bangkok and is going to go to the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok for help in the afternoon. If possible, she plans to report the case to Bangkok police with the help of the embassy and hopes to get in touch with whatever resources are available for rescue efforts.”
Comments say, “I’m so jealous he has such a great girlfriend.”
“This is a very logical and educated girlfriend! Everything is gonna be alright! Good luck!”
“No matter who he is, a celebrity or just a normal person, I hope he comes back safely.”
A compilation of how personalities are stored in hearts:
“I’ve gotta mention my physics teacher here. Before his heart transplant surgery, he was a mild-mannered, humorous, slow-paced little gentleman. After his transplant surgery, he became a moody, impatient, strict little boomer.”
“Our teacher said that there used to be a grandma who was super hard-working and honourable and was praised by all her neighbours. A really honest, decent grandma. Got a thief’s heart, and ever since, every time she went to the supermarket, she wanted to steal stuff, so her husband had to follow behind her and quietly pay for everything.”
“There was a news article a decade ago in China, some old guy got a young man’s heart, and he slowly started growing black hair again. Never played basketball before but now he loves playing it. And he started getting more fashionable too. His wife couldn’t take it, because even their intimate life got more frequent all of a sudden.”
“I remember like five years ago, there was a study from overseas that some memories are stored in the heart.”
“I remember reading somewhere too that transplanted organs (including hearts) will make you suddenly get memories that don’t belong to you.”
“There’s an uncle near me that got a woman’s heart and he started getting more and more feminine T_T”
“Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that every organ has a God. Transplants like western medicine makes the Gods in your original body fight against the transplanted God. If the transplanted God wins, you have a complete personality change. If they lose, they become one of your Gods, but your heart will get weaker too.”
“Let me put it this way, my cousin is a businessman and got a liver transplant for his liver cancer. The original owner was a young death row inmate. After the transplant, he got a full head of dark hair, but he has to take immunosuppressants for the rest of his life.”
“There’s a 30-something-year-old man near me that got the organs of a teenage girl who died accidentally, no rejection syndromes. But after getting out of the hospital, he couldn’t sleep at all at night. He said every time he fell asleep, the girl would come after him for her organs. He died within a year. What do I even say.”
“It’s not just the heart, it’s in your blood too. After getting a blood transfusion from someone, for two or three years, I got a lot more steadfast and brave and decisive in my personality. I think I must’ve gotten blood donated from a soldier.”
“After using someone else’s blood, I couldn’t stop overeating and overdrinking for a while. I was like a total pig. My weight went from 58kg to 71kg. I had to eat every two hours or I’d literally wake up hungry.”
“Me too. I had anaemia and had to get someone else’s blood. I gained weight and my personality changed too.”
“Lol, I’m not the only one. I said at the time that whoever donated blood to me must be a foodie. I stuffed my face with corn to avoid eating too much.”
“See? This is why Traditional Chinese Medicine is the best. Because western medicine only says the heart pumps blood, but Traditional Chinese Medicine knows that the heart contains a God.”
“My friend had leukaemia, but luckily, he found a match right away and the surgery went smoothly. But now his blood type has changed, his personality’s changed, his straight hair has went curly, and as a Sichuan native, he can’t handle spicy food anymore. And supposedly, if he tried to get a paternity test with his daughter now, it would come back negative.”
“Today I learned Qinghua University deliberately put their subway station really far away from campus.
Originally, the Beijing subway was going to run through Qinghua University, and just like Beijing University, they could’ve put a station right by the gates so make it more convenient for the staff and students. But Qinghua was worried that the tremors of the subway passing through would affect the sensitive equipment for experiments, so they went out of their way to negotiate to put the subway 500 metres away from the school.
Every unreasonable-seeming setting has a very reasonable story behind it.”
Comments say, “Just asking, does that not apply to Beijing University?”
“Is it really that much of a big deal?”
“It definitely affects things. Our TEM has obvious light jitter because there’s a subway nearby. The Earth has a magnetic field and subways are a good conductor. When the subway is running, it [look I completely lost track of the technobabble here but something something] the vibrations of the subway will definitely impact precision instruments around it.”
“Last night, I got into a hotel in Harbin. As soon as we entered the room, a wave of warmth hit us in the face. My kiddo took off his shoes and stepped on the floor and exclaimed, “The floor is warm! It’s so warm!”
At the time, all we cared was that it was warm. We didn’t reality how serious things were.
How do I put this…do you know how low-temperature ovens work? Like, the kind you make dried meat and dried fruits in?
The human body is around 36C. If it feels warm to your feet, what temperature does it have to be at? If the whole floor is this temperature, what is the state of the room?
In the middle of the night, my kiddo and I were woken up by dehydration like travellers in the desert. My kiddo is crying from how sore his throat is, while I feel like even my eyes have dried out. We both chugged a bottle of water and made a simple fastener out of tissues and tape to open just a sliver of window to reduce the temperature…
And didn’t go back to sleep until the early morning XD”
Comments say, “Either it’s too cold or it’s too hot. What’s the point of going? Go home and work on your brain and stop bitching.”
“Went for 5-6 days and had a nosebleed every day. When I went to the 731 ruins, the workers there were doing a survey and I told them about this problem, and she said that even the locals suffer from it too. All you can do it put a humidifier in the room or lay out some wet towels to help.”
“Is Harbin super cold right now?”
#Man finds driver asleep at the wheel and calls police after failing to wake him up. #Man says he feels bad being cyberbullied for not saving someone. “On the 4th of January, in Guangxi, Nanning, a young man happened by a car by the side of the road on his way to work, where the driver seemed to be sleeping. After attempting to wake him up and failing, the young man called the police. He claims that on the return visit from the police, they told him that the driver had passed away. The young man claims that afterwards, he was bullied on the internet. He feels very guilty because he’d already done his best. He doesn’t know any first aid, so maybe he could’ve done better.”
Comments say, “You can get cyberbullied over this? It’s not like he knows the driver. You can’t demand that he run up and immediately start smashing someone else’s car, right? He even called the police. He’s done really well, honestly.”
“He already did his best.”
“Don’t worry about the keyboard warriors online. It’s fine so long as there’s no regrets in your heart.”
#7 month pregnant woman weighs 47kg. “On the 5th of January, in Hainan, netizen “Red Bean” has been pregnant for 7 months. At 165cm, her weight is currently maintained at 47kg. Her tummy is much flatter than most 7-month pregnant ladies too. She says, “People who don’t know me well can’t even tell I’m pregnant. She explains that her figure might just be a personal body type problem, and she always pays a lot of attention to what she eats.”
Comments say, “What? Are we trying to body shame pregnant people now?”
“I honestly cannot understand what this trending hashtag is trying to express.”
“Do we need to involute pregnancies too?”
“What an innovative way to pet a cat. This lady filmed her dad petting his cat. The kitty isn’t biting or scratching. He’s enjoying it. “Under what circumstances did he figure out this cat-petting technique?””
Comments say, “When the kitty was about to fall out of a 20-story window?”
“That’s not gonna work for the two babies at my house. There’s no way to pet them like this when they’re so fat.”
”Maybe it just like being in the air.”
A compilation of stories about auditors:
“I’ve read a story before about counting turtles. Female turtles are assets, male turtles are inventory, and turtle eggs are projects under construction XD”
“I’m an accountant and I have a friend who works in auditing. The very first job he went on was to a sheep ranch to count sheep, and he couldn’t keep the numbers straight at all, and while he’s counting, the sheets are having babies, and he just about had a mental breakdown.”
“I have to count all kinds of paper. The already stacked paper, I count by the stack. The loose paper, I have to count one by one by hand.”
“Um…I’ve audited a funeral home before. I work in the funeral home office during the day and hear crying all the time. Everything on their books is like body wraps, coffins, and other scary stuff. The stuff I’m auditing is grave plots and incinerators and stuff. At night, I sleep in their employee dorms, where it’s super cold and all you can see around you is hills covered in grave stones. When I first went, I was too scared at night to sleep, but after a while, I was taking a job through the graveyard every evening.”
“I’ve audited a crematorium before. You have to crawl into the incinerator to check the product number, so I’ve been through life and death.”
“Some incorporated pig company sent in samples of their products, and it turned out to be pig semen.”
“Your work all sounds so interesting…all I ever do is count tables and chairs and computers…”
“I’ve counted graves for demolition work. Some are double graves or triple graves. Some have stones, some don’t. If there’s no gravestones, I have to wait for the family to show up to move the grave to count it. The older graves don’t even have coffins inside, they just dig up some packaged up urns.”
“I’ve audited an explosives business before…Honestly, I was so scared I’d die.”
Just one suggestion: 北大 would be more accurately translated as "Peking University" rather than "Beijing University", as it's the official and internationally recognised name :)
Interesting issues after having had the organ transplant or blood transfusion… I think I need to start looking into this more closely.
