Shrouded in mystery

I've kept this quote from 2nd Round of simplified Chinese chars:

>The exact circumstances surrounding the creation and release of the Second Scheme remain in mystery due to the still-classified nature of many documents and the politically sensitive nature of

Even though I am far from being a linguist, I can feel that the language policies are highly strategic (it influences the mental abilities, the world representation capacity ...), and while digging to get a grasp of the transition 'loss' from the most recent simplification some years ago, I stumbled on the quoted article.

'Shrouded' was the term used in the article then, replaced with 'mystery' since.

On the same note, I recall seeing a YT video were they were asking people in a city in mainland to describe chars out of concern wrt ppl's written scripture abilities.

I am not sure how to interpret the quoted text, but would you validate such concern wrt to the 'simplification' of the Chinese characters ?

Dr Martin's eulogy

In S10E17, Donna's reading a letter from her deceased father at his eulogy:

>I have been given this incredible gift.

>A resurrection which I cannot be more unworthy to receive.

>A chance to see what truly matters in life.

>Faith which can bring you peace.

>Love which can bring you joy.

>And a family which can bring you meaning, and purpose, and unexpected wonder.

>I have been blessed with all three, and will do my best to honor these blessings, every minute of every day that G allows.

This is a hidden gem.

This is the kind of show where visual overrode the dialogues in my perceptions, but these lines hit me at the time, may they resonate with you.
