It’s not just about winning—it’s about the long game. 🏆

In today’s fast-paced world, football has turned into some kind of ”instant gratification“ sport. Other nations are losing sleep over 12, 60, or even 76-year droughts, obsessed with chasing the next trophy.

But China? We’re playing on a whole different level of patience.

With a 5,000-year history to look back on, we’ve mastered the art of ”Zen-like“ composure. While the rest of the world is sweating over World Cup cycles, we’re out here focusing on cultural longevity and staying unbothered.

Football isn‘t just a 90-minute game for us—it’s a marathon spanning millennia. Our philosophy is simple: Trophies are fleeting, but the spirit of ”participating“ for 5,000 years? That’s legendary.

Respect the patience. Respect the ”Big Picture“ mindset. 🇨🇳

这就是底蕴，这就是大国足球的“从容”

在这个快节奏的时代，足球竞技似乎成了某种追求效率的“速食产品”。

你看那些国家，为了一个大力神杯，有的等了十几年，有的等了半个世纪，那种对冠军奖杯的执着与焦虑，虽然是对竞技体育的热爱，但也未免显得有些……过于追求当下的得失了。

反观中国足球，我们展现出的是一种完全不同维度的“顶级定力”。

德国（12年）在求变，乌拉圭（76年）在感慨，而中国，在五千年文明的沉淀之下，保持着一种不骄不躁的从容。

我们深知，对于拥有五千年文明底蕴的🇨🇳来说，足球从来不是一场简单的九十分钟竞技，更非一朝一夕的胜负所能定义。我们所追求的，是那种跨越时空的深厚文化积淀，是“任尔东西南北风，我自岿然不动”的史诗级耐力。

当世界还在为几十年的等待而心焦时，中国足球早已在漫长的历史长河中，修炼出了“云淡风轻”的豁达境界。

这就是🇨🇳的足球哲学：冠军是瞬间的闪耀，而历史长河中的坚持与参与，才是对体育精神最长情的告白。

致敬这份从容，致敬这份不被凡俗冠军所定义的文化自信。

Immersed in the profound resonance of Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind at The Broad.

Standing amidst seven decades of her radical, visionary work, I was struck by how Yoko Ono transforms art from a static object into an active, breathing dialogue. As I drew my own lines on the gallery floor, I felt the gravity of her "instruction-based" art—a testament to her belief that the audience is not merely a witness, but a vital co-creator of meaning.

Yoko Ono is far more than an icon of avant-garde music or conceptual art; she is a trailblazer who redefined the boundaries between life and creation. From her foundational role in the Fluxus movement and her timeless Grapefruit anthology, to her enduring global campaigns for peace, she has consistently taught us that true power lies in softness, vulnerability, and radical hope.

Her legacy is as vast as it is inspiring: a Grammy Award-winner, the recipient of the prestigious Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 2009 Venice Biennale, and most recently, the 2025 Lifetime Achievement in Arts award from the International Peace League. Her journey—from the underground art scenes of the 60s to her place in the global pantheon—serves as a reminder that the most revolutionary act is often the simplest: choosing to create, to connect, and to persist.

In a world that is often fragmented, Yoko’s work remains a sanctuary. Honored to be part of this dialogue.

On this day of reflection, I pay tribute to the heroes who came before us. Every word written today is a sign of deep respect for those who guarded our freedom and sacrificed for our peace.

May they rest in eternal peace, and may the hard-won tranquility they secured be cherished and carried forward by us all. I hope the breeze beneath these trees carries our collective wish to the horizon: may there be no more conflict in this world, and may we all remain safe and well. 🕊️

In the vast landscape of contemporary art, Canadian visual artist Michael Janzen stands out for his singular, cross-cultural artistic language and significant academic standing.

As a distinguished representative of Canadian contemporary art, Janzen’s work is deeply rooted in the legacy of great masters—having been mentored by the iconic A.J. Casson of Canada’s "Group of Seven." His practice is defined by a profound insight into structure, color, and spatial logic, earning him wide acclaim across the international art community.

Key Achievements & Honors:

International Prestige: Recipient of the International Award at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris (2014), and the "Golden Painting Life Award," endorsed by the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

Cultural Ambassador: One of the rare international artists whose work was selected by the Chinese government for national stamp design, fostering global cultural dialogue through art.

Global Collections: His works are permanently held in esteemed institutions, including the Yujigao Art Foundation Museum (Nanjing) and the Zhongzheng Zen Art Museum (Malaysia).

Contemporary Icon: Honored with the "Icon Award" at the 2026 LABA (Los Angeles Beverly Arts) International Festival, solidifying his enduring influence on the global art stage.

As the founding chairman of the International Federation of Artists (IFAA), Janzen is more than a creator; he is a "bridge-builder" who masterfully integrates the rigorous structuralism of Western art with the expressive spirit of Eastern aesthetics.

Saluting excellence and the enduring power of art.

While the US-China summit dominates the news, it’s Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s story that really hits home for me. 🌟

Everyone sees the tech titan today, but few remember the dishwasher who started from the absolute bottom. Back then, he probably never imagined he’d one day stand at the pinnacle of the global tech industry.

But true greatness isn’t just about where you end up—it’s about how you treat the journey. It’s about doing the simple things exceptionally well and turning an ordinary job into a masterclass in professionalism.

The path to greatness is rarely easy, but the most successful people all share a common DNA: they are disciplined, relentlessly consistent, and they never waste energy complaining about their circumstances.

In the end, the gap between people isn’t luck. It’s the unwavering, dedicated attitude you bring to life every single day. 👍

Every book we open serves as a gentle dismantling of entrenched mindsets. On the boundless shores of knowledge, we borrow the perspectives of others to examine the limits of our own understanding. The truly wise do not read to seek validation for their preconceived notions, but rather to bravely confront the profound unknown. It is through diverse perspectives that they cultivate a grace and poise transcending prejudice.

Reading is not merely about understanding the world; it is about reshaping the very self that perceives it. Breathing in the space between words, we navigate the labyrinth of wisdom to find our way.

Lingyun Xiang Joins the "Butterfly" Mental Health Movement | One Humanity Foundation Promo

Spreading the "Butterfly" Spirit for Mental Health. 🦋

Two years ago, the One Humanity Foundation launched its impactful "Butterfly" mental health charity movement, joined by celebrity hosts like Mario Lopez, Jaime King, and Howie Mandel. Fast forward to this year's Milken Institute Week, this incredible initiative continued to spread its wings the night before last in Beverly Hills.

With attendees reportedly representing over $24 trillion in total assets and 16% of the global GDP, this gathering brings together world leaders to catalyze global innovation in mental health. I am deeply honored to be part of this powerful movement and to be featured in the official promotional video (catch my close-up!).

"The right room. One moment. That moves the world."

Let's continue to show up for mental health and for the people we care about.

A Tribute to Jay Brewer: A Trailblazer on the Frontier of Life

In the world of interdisciplinary research and global communication, how do we truly break the boundaries between species and human cognition? Jay Brewer, the visionary soul behind The Reptile Zoo in Fountain Valley, Southern California, has spent forty years providing the answer. With over 50 million followers worldwide, Jay is more than a digital phenomenon; he is a "translator for nature," building a vital bridge between cold scales and warm hearts.

From Digital Influence to Industry Mastery

Jay’s impact transcends social media. From guest appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he represents the pinnacle of professional recognition in his field. His academic achievements in rare reticulated python breeding, combined with the "Jurassic Parties" program launched in 1995, have transformed hard science into an immersive life experience. This "de-stigmatization" of reptiles serves as a powerful success story in modern science communication.

The Philosophy of Courage: "Living the Dream"

To evaluate Jay is to look beyond his business success and honor his profound professionalism. Over 40 years of daily dedication, he has used reverence to dissolve fear. His famous mantra, "Living the Dream," is no mere slogan—it is the reality of someone who, despite countless bites and decades of labor, maintains a first-love passion for life. This alignment of passion and practice is the rare professional spirit our era needs.

As this spirit of bravery is passed down through his daughters, the mission of life education achieves a perfect cycle. Here’s to the translator of nature—for his greatness, his persistence, and for lighting up the unknown!

Today’s seminar at the Los Angeles Press Club, in partnership with RSF, provided a vital look at the 2026 World Press Freedom Index.

From discussing First Amendment protections with Peter Bibring to analyzing corporate media trends with experts from Bloomberg and the LA Times, the message was clear: a free and professional press is essential to our society.

I am proud to be part of this community and will continue to prioritize objectivity and balance in my work, ensuring that the stories I record remain transparent and true.

✨ Inside Coordinate One: The Gates of Jonathan Club ✨

On Los Angeles’ Figueroa Street, a door that never opens to the public guards the "heartbeat" of California. 🏛️ Today, I was invited into the headquarters of the Jonathan Club. Established in 1895, this is more than luxury—it is one of the most exclusive "fortresses of power" in America. 🇺🇸

1. Where History is Written 🖋️

Inside, you feel the weight of a century-old alliance. This is a sanctuary for titans:

• A Strategic Base: President Ronald Reagan used this club to connect with West Coast leaders long before the White House. 🦅

• Tech Visionaries: Even Steve Jobs held discreet meetings here to discuss technologies that would reshape our world. 💻

• The Ultimate Roster: From Governors and Mayors to Hollywood studio heads—the membership is a living "Who’s Who." Entry requires more than wealth; it demands the endorsement of the inner circle. 📜

2. The Silent Pulse of the City 🌃

The allure lies in its quiet tension. Between the Renaissance-style architecture and mahogany interiors, conversations held here dictate tomorrow’s market indices and policy shifts. 📈 Its absolute privacy makes it the ultimate intellectual harbor for global decision-makers. 🤫

3. The Resonance of Status 💎

In an era of fast-paced social media, the Jonathan Club remains a guardian of tradition. The name itself is a passport to the peak of the social pyramid. 🔝

Overlooking the lights of Los Angeles, it’s clear: true high-end living isn't about decor—it’s about the closed loop of resources, the accumulation of cultur e, and the final definition of a premier lifestyle. 🥂

This is more than a tour; it is a dialogue with power and the aesthetics of prestige. 🎞️
