How many Americans live in Shenzhen?

Seems like Americans moved out, most foreigners I saw were from Middle East, India, Africans and Russians.

If so, that’s really a bad news.

Is it normal for native English speakers to read a sentence multiple times to understand its meaning?

When I read complex English sentences, especially in news articles, I often have to reread them several times before understanding the meaning. I move my eyes back and forth, breaking the sentence into phrases, identifying the grammar, finding where the pauses should be, and working out how the parts relate to each other. This takes time and energy and can be frustrating. Do native English speakers experience the same thing, or do they have a more efficient way of dealing with such sentences?

Has anyone been obsessed with the dialogue from Spartacus?

First time watching Spartacus(all seasons) drew my attentions to main plots and porno scenes.

Second time made me obsessed with the dialogue style of each character.

It’s a unique way to express ideas and impressive speaking. The rich meaning behind each sentence is so powerful.

If I gained other opportunities to relearn English, it would be my first taste.

Could anyone here explain how to learn such style?

Gratitude in advance!

Old Lady and Homeless Cats

I’m gonna share today’s story. The story is about the old woman and homeless cats, it is simple but heart-touching. The old woman was really impressive, and I came across her when I was going to do my job. Before starting it, I was hungry at that time, so I went into a grocery, brought a hot dog and an ice stick.

As I went out of it, I saw a lady who was standing back in front of me on the opposite side of street, the distance between her and me was about three meters. I saw a cat was running and I was curious about what she was doing, so my curiosity drove me to move towards her. I said hello to her, she turned around to me. The first impression she left me was old, nearly around 60 years old, with a slim body figure, short hair, and big eyes. But she had a very pretty facial proportion, my intuition told me she must be a gorgeous woman in her young age. I saw she was feeding the homeless cats; there were five of them. I said: Do you always feed these cats here? She told me she had been feeding these cats and taking care of them since when they were the babies. My continuous words and questions just like a key which opened the gate in her mind. She had lots of words to me, as like she hadn’t talked to somebody for a long time or nobody could understand her behaviors and intentions, because she provided the food, water, medicine, and even took them to do sterilization by her own payment.

She told me there was another homeless cat’s spot where she was responsible for. She said she always felt sorry for these poor guys when she compared them with her happy cats at home. Although sometimes she felt exhausted in feeding them but she never gave up, I thought maybe there was an unknown thing that kept she going. She also wanted to get some extra help from other volunteers but nowhere to start, she didn’t even know how to record videos and post them on internet platform. I observed her facial expression especially when she was talking, and I saw clearly the tear in her determined eyes was shining. Our conversation was lasting about one hour, it seemed she got endless words to say, but my time was limited because I had to do my work, so I had to end it.

I gradually got to understand the unknown thing that was unclear to me before was called the “GREAT LOVE”. I always saw people fulled with love especially from the animal protection organization on the internet are really one of the caring groups in the world because they always called on the protection for the homeless cats and dogs. This was my first time to see such a great lady to help homeless cats without requiring any rewards, what she had done today really impressed me deeply. Of course, I love cats and dogs, but my love only limited for my own, not for others, not for homeless ones. Compared me with this lady, she really had a great unlimited love for them. Before our separation, I was thinking if this world had more people like her, this world could be more beautiful and harmony.

Then, I started to do my job, she went to another spot to feed cats.

I opened Sora today and nothing showed up only empty black UI with errors, everything was quiet like nothing happened. This cute little face accompanied me with good times and memories by manipulating texts.

It’s time to say goodbye but the happiness in memory still remains.

Farewell, Sora!
