2024.05.18 15:22 Old_Sleep_2382 Recs from recent VCA/cartier orders- miss chen/andy chen/xy?

I have read just about everything posted and am looking for any recent reviews/input on Alhambra earrings (who has the best motif), Cartier love bracelet, and who has the best vca chain? With miss Chens price increase she’s pretty high on some items and I’ve been hearing her quality has gone down and he sizing is not accurate.

2024.05.14 17:36 Frequent_Cycle4744 Bắn một con voi - George Orwell

Ở Moulmein, miền Hạ Burma (Miến Điện) tôi bị rất nhiều người ghét – đó là thời gian duy nhất trong đời tôi mà tôi đủ tầm quan trọng để cho chuyện đó xảy ra với tôi. Tôi là một sĩ quan cảnh sát của một tiểu khu trong thành phố, ở đó cái cảm giác ghét Tây rất vu vơ và nhỏ mọn đặc biệt gay gắt. Không ai đủ can đảm dấy lên một cuộc nổi loạn, nhưng nếu có một người đàn bà Âu đi qua chợ một mình thì thế nào cũng có kẻ nhổ nước quết trầu lên váy bà ta. Là sĩ quan cảnh sát tôi rõ ràng là mục tiêu cho những trò trêu chọc quấy nhiễu bất cứ lúc nào việc làm thế có vẻ an toàn. Khi một cầu thủ Miến ma lanh ngáng cho tôi ngã trong lúc trọng tài (một người Miến khác) ngó lơ chỗ khác thì cả đám đông rộ lên một tràng cười ghê tởm. Những chuyện như thế không chỉ xảy ra một lần. Những khuôn mặt thanh niên da vàng nhăn nhở nhạo báng mà tôi gặp ở khắp nơi, những tiếng chửi thét vọng theo sau lưng tôi khi tôi ở một khoảng cách an toàn (cho họ), lọt vào cân não tôi nhức nhối. Những chú tiểu Miến Điện là tệ hại nhất. Trong thành phố có hàng ngàn đứa, và chẳng đứa nào có việc gì để làm trừ việc đứng rình ở góc phố để chế nhạo những người Âu.
Tất cả những chuyện này thật lộn xộn và khó chịu. Vì vào thời gian đó tôi đã quyết định rằng chủ nghĩa đế quốc là xấu và tôi sẽ vứt bỏ công việc của tôi và thoát ra càng sớm càng tốt. Về lý thuyết – và bí mật, tất nhiên – tôi hoàn toàn đứng về phía người Miến và hoàn toàn chống lại những kẻ áp bức – người Anh. Về công việc mà tôi đang làm, tôi ghét cay ghét đắng. Trong một công việc như thế người ta thấy đủ mọi thứ bẩn thỉu của Đế quốc trong những khu vực đóng kín. Những tù nhân khốn khổ chen chúc trong những xà lim hôi thối của các trại giam, những khuôn mặt xám ngoét sợ hãi của những tù dài hạn, những cặp mông đầy sẹo của những người đàn ông bị đánh bằng roi tre – tất cả những cái ấy bóp nghẹt tim tôi bằng một cảm giác tội lỗi không sao chịu nổi. Nhưng tôi không thể làm gì được trong cảnh này. Tôi còn trẻ và ít học, và tôi đã phải suy nghĩ rất lung về vấn đề của mình trong cái im lặng hoàn toàn áp đặt lên mọi người Anh sống ở phương Đông. Thậm chí tôi không hề hay biết rằng Đế quốc Anh đang hấp hối, tôi lại càng biết ít hơn về chuyện nó còn tốt gấp mấy lần những đế quốc trẻ đang hất cẳng nó. Tôi chỉ biết là tôi đang bị kẹt giữa lòng căm ghét của tôi đối với cái đế quốc mà tôi đang phục vụ và sự căm giận của tôi đối với bọn quái con thô lỗ xấu tính đang cố gắng làm cho công việc của tôi trở nên không thể chịu nổi. Trong óc tôi một phần tôi nghĩ về viên Toàn quyền Anh như một bạo chúa không ai dám động đến, như một sự kìm kẹp đè bẹp ý chí của những con người đã bị hạ gục; còn phần óc kia tôi nghĩ rằng niềm vui lớn nhất trên thế giới là được thọc lưỡi lê vào bụng của một thằng sư trẻ. Những tình cảm như vậy là những sản phẩm phụ bình thường của chủ nghĩa đế quốc; không tin cứ hỏi bất kỳ một quan chức Anh-Ấn nào, nếu bạn có thể chộp được ông ta ngoài lúc thi hành phận sự.
Một hôm có một sự việc xảy ra, bằng một con đường quanh co nó khiến tôi chợt ngộ. Bản thân nó là một tai nạn nhỏ, nhưng nó soi sáng tâm tư tôi trong lúc đầu tôi đầy những ý nghĩ rối rắm về bản chất thật của chủ nghĩa đế quốc – những động cơ hành động thật sự của các chính phủ bạo ngược. Lúc sáng sớm ông phó thanh tra từ một đồn cảnh sát ở đầu bên kia của thành phố gọi điện thoại cho tôi nói rằng có một con voi đang phá phách khu chợ. Đề nghị tôi có thể đến và giải quyết. Tôi không biết tôi có thể làm được gì, nhưng tôi muốn thấy điều đang xảy ra nên tôi nhảy lên ngựa phóng đi. Tôi mang theo khẩu súng trường, một khẩu Winchester .44 quá nhỏ không thể dùng để bắn voi, nhưng tôi nghĩ tiếng súng có thể doạ cho nó sợ. Nhiều người Miến chặn tôi lại trên đường đi và kể cho tôi nghe những hành động của con voi. Tất nhiên đây không phải là một con voi hoang dã mà là voi đã thuần hoá, bỗng lên cơn hung dữ. Trước nay nó vẫn bị xích, như tất cả những con voi thuần hoá khi lên “cơn hung”, nhưng đêm qua nó đã giật đứt xích và trốn thoát. Viên quản tượng, người duy nhất có thể xử lý được nó khi nó lên cơn như thế này, đã lao đi đuổi theo nó, nhưng lại lạc đi hướng khác và lúc này đã qua mười hai giờ, và buổi sáng con voi bỗng nhiên xuất hiện trong thành phố. Dân cư Miến không có vũ khí và hoàn toàn không biết bấu víu vào đâu trước con voi dữ. Nó đã húc đổ một số lều tre, giết chết một con bò, đột kích một quầy rau quả và ăn ngấu nghiến trái cây trong đó, nó cũng đã gặp chiếc xe đổ rác thành phố và khi người tài xế nhảy ra và chạy bán sống bán chết, nó đã lật đổ chiếc xe rồi cứ thế nện lên đó một cách dữ tợn.
Viên phó cảnh sát người Miến và một số nhân viên cảnh sát đang đợi tôi ở khu vực đó – nơi họ thấy con voi. Đó là một khu rất nghèo, chằng chịt những túp lều tranh dơ dáy bẩn thỉu, lợp bằng lá cọ, uốn quanh một sườn đồi thoai thoải. Tôi nhớ hôm ấy là một buổi sáng nhiều mây, ngột ngạt lúc bắt đầu mưa. Chúng tôi bắt đầu hỏi nhân dân ở đó về những nơi con voi đã đi qua và, giống như mọi lần, chẳng thu được thông tin gì rõ ràng cả. Ở phương Đông chuyện này xảy ra muôn lần như một, một câu chuyện khi nghe ở xa thì khá rõ ràng mạch lạc, nhưng càng gần đến nơi xảy ra sự việc thì câu chuyện càng trở nên mơ hồ. Một số người nói con voi đi hướng này, một số khác bảo nó đi hướng kia, một số thậm chí thú nhận còn chưa nghe nói gì về con voi nào cả. Tôi gần như đã đi đến kết luận rằng toàn bộ câu chuyện này là một loạt những trò dối trá, thì chúng tôi bỗng nghe những tiếng kêu thất thanh ở một khoảng cách khá xa. Có tiếng gào to chửi bới “Cút ngay, lũ ranh con! Cút hết cả đi!” và một bà già cầm trong tay một cành cây non chạy vòng quanh góc một túp lều, xua đuổi một lũ trẻ con trần truồng. Một số phụ nữ khác chạy theo, tặc lưỡi và la lối, rõ ràng là có chuyện gì đó xảy ra mà trẻ con lẽ ra không nên xem. Tôi đi vòng qua góc túp lều và thấy thi thể một người đàn ông sõng soài trên bùn. Đó là một người Ấn, một cu li người Dravidian[1] da đen, gần như trần truồng, và ông ta chắc chỉ mới chết cách đây mấy phút. Người ta nói rằng con voi bỗng đột ngột dẫm lên ông ta ở góc lều, dùng vòi quấn ông ta, dẫm lên lưng ông ta và dận ông ta xuống đất. Lúc ấy đang là mùa mưa và đất nhão, đầu ông ta rạch một cái rãnh sâu ba tấc và dài đến mấy thước. Ông ta nằm sấp, hai cánh tay bắt chéo và đầu bị vặn nghoéo về một bên. Mặt ông ta bị phủ một lớp bùn, đôi mắt mở to, hàm răng nhe ra và nghiến chặt vẻ đau đớn khôn tả. (Nhân thể, đừng bao giờ nói với tôi rằng người chết trông hiền lành. Hầu hết những thi thể mà tôi đã thấy đều có vẻ hiểm ác). Sự cọ xát của chân con quái vật khổng lồ ấy đã tước đi một mảng da trên lưng người đàn ông gọn như người ta lột da một con thỏ. Vừa trông thấy người chết tôi liền sai một lính vào nhà một người bạn ở gần đó mượn một khẩu súng săn voi. Tôi đã gửi con ngựa về, không muốn nó phát điên vì sợ và quăng tôi xuống đất khi nó ngửi thấy mùi con voi.
Vài phút sau người lính trở về với một khẩu súng trường và năm viên đạn, trong lúc đó một số người Miến đến bảo chúng tôi rằng con voi đang ở dưới ruộng lúa dưới kia, chỉ cách đây vài trăm thước. Khi tôi bắt đầu tiến lên thì gần như toàn bộ dân cư của khu đó ào ra khỏi nhà và đi theo tôi. Họ đã nhìn thấy khẩu súng và kêu lên kích động rằng tôi sắp sửa bắn con voi. Họ không tỏ vẻ quan tâm nhiều lắm đến con voi khi nó chỉ tàn phá những ngôi nhà của họ, nhưng nay nó sắp bị bắn thì lại là chuyện khác. Đối với họ chuyện này khá vui, như nó có thể đối với một đám đông người Anh; ngoài ra họ muốn lấy thịt. Điều này làm tôi cảm thấy hơi khó chịu. Tôi không có ý định bắn con voi – tôi chỉ mượn khẩu súng để bảo vệ bản thân khi cần thiết, và khi có một đám đông đi theo mình thì người ta luôn luôn mất nhuệ khí. Tôi đi bộ xuống đồi, trông ngô nghê – mà tôi cũng cảm thấy thế – với một khẩu súng trường đeo trên vai và một đội quân ô hợp càng lúc càng đông chen lấn xô đẩy nhau bám sát gót. Cuối cùng, khi đoàn người đi xa khỏi những túp lều, có một con đường rải đá và phía bên kia là một ruộng lúa lầy bùn rộng hàng ngàn thước, chưa cày nhưng ngập nước do những trận mưa đầu tiên, và lấm tấm cỏ dại. Con voi đứng cách đường khoảng tám chục thước, hướng sườn bên trái về phía chúng tôi. Nó không mảy may để ý đến đám người đang đến gần. Nó đang rứt từng đám cỏ, đập vào đầu gối cho sạch và tọng cả vào mồm.
Tôi dừng lại trên đường. Ngay khi nhìn thấy con voi tôi hoàn toàn biết chắc rằng tôi không nên bắn nó. Việc bắn một con voi gia súc là một điều nghiêm trọng, nó tương tự như phá huỷ một cỗ máy khổng lồ và đắt tiền – và rõ ràng người ta không nên làm nếu có thể tránh được. Và ở khoảng cách đó, đang ăn một cách hiền lành, con voi trông không có gì nguy hiểm hơn một con bò. Khi đó tôi đã nghĩ và bây giờ tôi vẫn nghĩ rằng những cơn “hung dữ” của nó đã qua rồi, trong trường hợp này nó chỉ đi lang thang vô hại cho đến khi người quản tượng trở lại và bắt nó về. Hơn nữa, tôi không hề muốn bắn nó chút nào. Tôi quyết định rằng tôi sẽ chỉ quan sát nó một lúc để chắc chắn rằng nó không hung hãn trở lại, rồi về nhà.
Nhưng đúng lúc đó tôi liếc quanh một vòng đám đông đã theo tôi. Đó là một đám đông khổng lồ, ít nhất đến hai ngàn người, và lớn lên từng phút. Nó bịt kín con đường trên một quãng dài ở cả hai đầu. Tôi nhìn cái biển mặt người mầu vàng phía trên những quần áo loè loẹt – những khuôn mặt hạnh phúc và kích động về chút vui nhỏ nhoi này, tất cả đều chắc chắn là con voi sắp sửa bị bắn hạ. Họ đứng nhìn tôi như thể xem một nhà ảo thuật sắp diễn trò. Họ không thích tôi, nhưng với khẩu súng thần kỳ trong tay tôi lúc này tôi là người đáng xem. Và bỗng nhiên tôi nhận ra rằng rốt cuộc tôi nhất định sẽ phải bắn con voi. Người ta mong chờ tôi làm việc đó và tôi phải làm, tôi có thể cảm thấy hai ngàn ý chí của họ ép tôi tiến tới, không thể cưỡng được. Và chính trong khoảnh khắc này, khi tôi đứng đây với cây súng trong tay, lần đầu tiên tôi hiểu rõ sự giả dối và vô ích của nền thống trị của người da trắng ở phương Đông. Tôi đây, người da trắng có súng trong tay, đứng trước đám đông bản xứ không vũ khí – có vẻ như đang là diễn viên chính của vở kịch, nhưng trong thực tế tôi chỉ là một con rối ngớ ngẩn bị đẩy đi kéo lại bởi ý chí của những khuôn mặt da vàng kia ở đằng sau. Trong khoảnh khắc ấy tôi nhận thức được rằng khi người da trắng biến thành chuyên chế thì hắn đã phá hoại tự do của chính hắn. Hắn đã trở thành một loại người nộm điệu bộ rỗng tuếch, hình ảnh đã thành ước lệ của một “quan lớn” mẫu quốc. Vì chính điều kiện thống trị của hắn mà hắn sẽ tiêu cả cuộc đời cố gắng để gây ấn tượng với “người bản xứ” và như vậy trong mọi cuộc khủng hoảng hắn phải làm những gì mà những “người bản xứ” mong đợi ở hắn. Hắn đeo mặt nạ, và mặt hắn phải phồng lên để khít với nó. Tôi phải bắn con voi. Tôi đã tự mình cam kết làm điều đó khi tôi sai lính đi mượn khẩu súng. Một “quan lớn” phải hành động cho ra một quan lớn, hắn phải tỏ ra quyết đoán, phải biết hắn muốn gì và phải làm những việc nhất định. Đã đi lên con đường này, súng trong tay, với hai ngàn người diễu hành theo sau sát gót, rồi buông thõng khẩu súng, chẳng làm gì cả – không, không thể thế được. Đám đông sẽ cười vào mũi anh. Và cả cuộc đời tôi, cuộc đời của mọi người da trắng ở phương Đông, là một cuộc đấu tranh lâu dài để không bị cười vào mũi.
Nhưng tôi không muốn bắn con voi. Tôi nhìn nó đập bó cỏ vào đầu gối nó, với vẻ bận rộn ‘của bà ngoại’ mà loài voi thường có. Đối với tôi việc giết nó giống như giết người. Vào tuổi này tôi không còn thấy quá gớm khi giết những con vật, nhưng tôi chưa bao giờ bắn một con voi và không bao giờ muốn thế. (Không hiểu sao dường như việc giết những con vật lớn luôn là tệ hại nhất). Ngoài ra, còn phải tính đến người chủ của con voi. Còn sống, con voi có lẽ đáng giá ít nhất một trăm bảng. Nhưng tôi phải hành động nhanh. Tôi quay sang một số người Miến có vẻ từng trải, họ đã có mặt ở đó khi tôi đến, và hỏi họ con voi hành xử ra sao từ lúc ấy đến giờ. Tất cả bọn họ nói cùng một điều: nó không để ý gì đến anh nếu anh để nó yên, nhưng nó có thể tấn công anh khi anh đến quá gần nó.
Đối với tôi đã hoàn toàn rõ ràng là tôi phải làm gì. Tôi nên bước đến cách con voi độ hai mươi lăm thước, và thử phản ứng của nó. Nếu nó tấn công, tôi có thể bắn; nếu nó không để ý gì đến tôi, thì cứ để nó đó cho đến khi người quản tượng trở về là an toàn. Nhưng tôi cũng biết rằng tôi sẽ không làm điều gì như thế cả. Tôi là người bắn kém khi dùng súng trường và đất ruộng toàn bùn nhão sẽ lầy thụt ở từng bước đi. Nếu con voi tấn công và tôi bắn trượt, thì cơ hội của tôi cũng ngang bằng với một con cóc dưới xe hồ lô (xe lu) lăn đường. Nhưng ngay cả lúc đó tôi vẫn không suy nghĩ cho thực tế đến tính mạng của mình, mà chỉ nghĩ đến những khuôn mặt mầu vàng ở đằng sau đang chăm chú nhìn tôi. Tại khoảnh khắc đó, với cả đám đông đang theo dõi tôi, tôi không cảm thấy sợ theo nghĩa thông thường, như lẽ ra tôi phải sợ khi tôi có một mình. Một người da trắng không được tỏ ra sợ hãi trước mặt những người “bản xứ”, và như vậy, nói chung, hắn không được sợ hãi. Ý nghĩ duy nhất trong đầu tôi lúc ấy là nếu mọi sự trở nên xấu đi, thì đám hai ngàn người Miến kia sẽ thấy tôi bị đuổi, bị tóm, bị dẫm lên người và biến thành một cái xác co quắp nhe răng nhăn nhở giống như người Ấn ở trên đồi kia. Và nếu điều đó xảy ra, hoàn toàn có thể một số người đứng kia sẽ cười. Như thế sẽ không hay hớm gì. Chỉ còn một lối thoát. Tôi nhét những viên đạn vào ổ và nằm xuống đường để nhắm bắn tốt hơn. Đám đông trở nên hết sức im lặng, và một tiếng thở dài sâu, trầm, hạnh phúc như thể thoát ra từ cổ họng của vô vàn khán giả trong nhà hát khi cuối cùng màn đã được kéo lên. Khẩu súng là một sản phẩm của Đức rất đẹp có thước ngắm. Lúc đó tôi không biết rằng trong việc bắn một con voi người ta nên nhắm theo một đường tưởng tượng chạy từ lỗ tai bên này sang lỗ tai bên kia. Do đó, khi con voi đang đứng quay một bên về phía tôi, lẽ ra tôi nên nhằm thẳng vào lỗ tai nó, nhưng thực tế tôi đã nhằm vào một điểm trước đó mấy phân, nghĩ rằng óc nó nằm quá về phía trước.
Khi tôi kéo cò, tôi đã không nghe tiếng nổ hoặc cảm thấy cú giật – người ta không bao giờ nghe hoặc cảm thấy như thế khi phát đạn trúng đích – nhưng tôi đã nghe tiếng la hét vui mừng độc ác bay ra từ đám đông. Trong khoảnh khắc ngắn ngủi – thậm chí người ta có thể nghĩ ngắn hơn khoảng thời gian để viên đạn bay đến đó – một thay đổi ghê gớm, bí ẩn, đã đến với con voi. Nó không giãy giụa, cũng không đổ xuống, nhưng mọi đường nét trên cơ thể nó đã biến đổi. Nó bỗng nhiên trông teo tóp, quắt lại, già đi khủng khiếp như thể một tác động ghê sợ của viên đạn đã làm nó tê liệt mà không quật ngã nó. Cuối cùng, sau một hồi tưởng như một quãng thời gian dài lắm – tôi đoán có lẽ chỉ khoảng năm giây – nó nhẽo nhèo quị xuống. Mồm nó nhểu nước dãi. Dường như một sự lão suy kinh khủng đã giáng xuống nó. Người ta có thể tưởng nó đã hàng nghìn năm tuổi. Tôi bắn thêm phát nữa vào đúng chỗ đó. Vớí phát súng thứ hai nó chưa sụp xuống nhưng với sự chậm chạp tuyệt vọng nó đứng thẳng yếu ớt, các chân nó nhủn ra và đầu nó rũ xuống. Tôi bắn phát thứ ba. Đó là phát đứt điểm đối với nó. Người ta có thể thấy nỗi đau đớn làm cả thân mình nó giật nảy lên và đánh bật chút sức lực còn lại ra khỏi những chân của nó. Nhưng trong lúc ngã dường như có khoảnh khắc nó đứng dậy vì khi các chân sau của nó sụp xuống dưới thân hình của nó nó vươn lên như một tảng đá khổng lồ đổ nhào, thân nó vươn lên trời như một cái cây. Nó rống lên lần đầu tiên mà cũng là lần duy nhất. Rồi nó đổ xuống, bụng nó quay về phía tôi, với một tiếng ầm như làm rung cả mặt đất đến tận chỗ tôi nằm.
Tôi đứng dậy. Những người Miến đã chạy ào qua chỗ tôi, băng qua bùn. Rõ ràng con voi không bao giờ đứng lên được nữa, nhưng nó chưa chết. Nó đang thở rất nhịp nhàng bằng những hơi thở dài hồng hộc, cái đống to đùng của một bên nó phập phồng lên xuống một cách đau đớn. Mồm nó há to – tôi có thể nhìn sâu vào những hang hốc của cái cổ họng màu hồng nhạt. Tôi đợi một lúc lâu cho nó chết, nhưng hơi thở của nó không yếu đi. Cuối cùng tôi bắn hai phát đạn còn lại vào cái chỗ mà tôi nghĩ tim nó phải ở đó. Một dòng máu đặc như màu nhung đỏ tuôn ra từ đó, nhưng nó vẫn không chết. Thân hình nó thậm chí không giật lên khi các phát đạn trúng nó, hơi thở đau đớn của nó tiếp tục không ngưng nghỉ. Nó đang chết, rất chậm và trong đau đớn cùng cực, nhưng trong một thế giới cách xa tôi, nơi thậm chí không một viên đạn nào có thể phá huỷ nó hơn nữa. Tôi cảm thấy tôi phải chấm dứt cái tiếng động dễ sợ nọ. Dường như thật khủng khiếp khi thấy con vật to đùng nằm đó, không còn sức để cử động nhưng cũng chưa kiệt sức hẳn để chết, và thậm chí không thể kết liễu nó. Tôi sai người đi lấy khẩu súng nhỏ của tôi và nã đạn hết viên này đến viên khác vào tim nó và xuống cổ họng nó. Chúng hầu như không gây ra được tác động nào. Những hơi thở hổn hển tiếp tục một cách đều đặn như tiếng tích tắc của đồng hồ.
Cuối cùng tôi không chịu được nữa và và bỏ đi. Sau đó tôi nghe nói nó phải mất đến nửa giờ mới chết hẳn. Những người Miến mang dao và rổ đến thậm chí trước cả khi tôi đi, và người ta bảo tôi rằng họ đã xẻ thịt nó hầu như lóc tận xương trong buổi chiều hôm đó.
Sau này, tất nhiên, có những cuộc tranh cãi bất tận về việc bắn con voi. Người chủ voi tức giận, nhưng ông ta chỉ là một người Ấn và không làm gì được. Ngoài ra, theo luật thì tôi đã làm đúng, vì một con voi điên thì phải bị giết, giống như chó dại, nếu chủ nó không kiểm soát được nó. Trong số người Âu thì ý kiến chia rẽ. Những người già hơn nói tôi đã làm đúng, những người trẻ hơn nói đó là một điều tệ hại đáng xấu hổ khi bắn một con voi chỉ vì một người cu li bị giết, bởi vì một con voi còn đáng giá hơn một thằng cu li Coringhee chết tiệt. Và sau đó tôi hết sức vui mừng, vì người cu li đã bị giết khiến tôi trở nên đúng trước pháp luật và nó cho tôi cái cớ đủ để bắn con voi. Tôi luôn băn khoăn tự hỏi liệu có bất kỳ ai khác hiểu được rằng tôi đã làm việc đó chỉ để tránh khỏi bị coi là một thằng ngốc hay không.

2024.05.11 12:09 sinomaltanews "中國女性與陌生人聯手省錢

"中國女性與陌生人聯手省錢
疫情期間,卓凱和丈夫被迫減薪50%。這是一個巨大的打擊,因為她還必須照顧五年前被診斷出患有癌症的母親。
「我們每年都只剩下錢了。我感到沒有安全感,但不知道該怎麼辦,」這位住在中國南方省份福建的 36 歲兩個孩子的母親說道。
家庭經濟受到的衝擊促使卓女士加入了中國年輕人在網路上尋找志同道合的伴侶(或稱「大子」)的趨勢。但她沒有一起旅行或鍛煉,而是與那些想要分享如何省錢的秘訣的人合作。
「拯救大佬」這個標籤於 2023 年 2 月首次出現在中國版 Instagram 小紅書上。 根據數據分析公司 Newsrank 的數據,該標籤迄今已吸引了 170 萬次瀏覽。在微博上,有關所謂「儲蓄夥伴」的話題瀏覽量已達數百萬次。
新加坡國立大學公共政策教授陸曦表示,這趨勢顯示「人們對未來經濟信心不足」。儘管一季度中國經濟成長速度快於預期,但仍面臨房地產危機深化、外資下降和地方政府債務增加等問題。
卓女士感到幸運的是,她在清潔能源產業工作,這是一個不斷發展的產業,據估計去年對國家經濟成長的貢獻率約為40%。然而,由於她的許多朋友和家人失業了,她覺得自己必須「為危險做好準備」。
2024 年 3 月 9 日,中國貴州省黔東南苗族侗族自治州從江縣,一名顧客在超市購買馬鈴薯。
在中國,女性通常負責管理日常家庭開支
今年2月,卓女士加入了幾場網路儲蓄小組,成員大多是20歲到40歲的女性。他們還有助於阻止彼此衝動購買。
卓女士表示,一名成員本想購買一款售價5,000 元人民幣(690 美元;560 英鎊)的奢華包包,但在與團體中的其他女性交談後,她決定購買一款便宜得多的二手包包。
她很驚訝這麼多其他人也在做同樣的事情,並說她對她的儲蓄夥伴感到一種友誼。與合作夥伴合作僅一個月後,她表示自己的支出下降了 40%。她現在的目標是今年存下10萬元。
30 歲的小學教師文忠表示,在儲蓄夥伴的幫助下,她已經減少了線上購物。
精疲力竭或失業——認識中國的“全職孩子”
不安分的Z世代正在重塑中國夢
相反,她現在花更多的時間閱讀和編織。她還開始在當地市場銷售她的手工產品,這帶來了額外的現金。更重要的是,溫女士說,這幫助她轉向了她更欣賞的極簡主義生活方式。
中國已經是世界上儲蓄率最高的國家之一。官方數據顯示,截至2023年底,中國家庭銀行存款約1,38兆元,年增近14%。
但盧博士表示,如此高的儲蓄水準可能會成為中國政府面臨的一個主要問題。通常情況下,該國央行可以透過降低利率來幫助提振經濟,因為這會降低儲蓄的吸引力。然而,如果人們繼續避免消費並存錢,可能會削弱銀行影響經濟的能力。
同時,有些女性選擇了更傳統的儲蓄方式——把現金放在家裡。這很不尋常,因為中國基本上已經實現無現金化,許多人使用支付寶和微信支付等應用程式。
講義陳女士和她的家人講義
陳女士認為她的家庭至少需要500萬元的積蓄
32歲的陳女士在中部河南省經營一家美容院,她不願透露自己的名字,她說她每個月都會從銀行提取大部分收入,然後將其放入一個盒子裡。一旦達到5萬元,她打算將其作為定期存款返還銀行。
「過去,我沒有任何儲蓄計劃,但還剩下一些錢。現在,儲蓄變得更加困難,」她說。
揭露中國年輕人幻滅的迷因
中國將有3億退休金領取者。它負擔得起嗎?
首先,中國經濟放緩意味著她的美容院失去了大量客戶,許多常客也削減了開支。另外,陳女士和她的丈夫都是獨生子女,這意味著他們必須照顧年邁的父母。
這對夫婦還有兩個兒子,陳女士擔心最終能否存夠足夠的錢給他們買房子。在中國,父母通常會在兒子結婚時為他買房子。
據她估計,陳女士和丈夫至少需要500萬元的積蓄。但她認為即使這樣也可能不夠,因為她現在又懷孕了。
「手上有現金讓我感覺不那麼焦慮,」她說。 “看到鈔票越來越厚,我感到安全和滿足。”

"In-nisa Ċiniżi qed jingħaqdu ma’ barranin biex jiffrankaw il-flus
Matul il-pandemija, Kathy Zhuo u żewġha kienu mġiegħla jieħdu tnaqqis fil-paga ta’ 50%. Kienet daqqa kbira għax kellha tieħu ħsieb ukoll lil ommha, li ħames snin ilu ġiet iddijanjostikata bil-kanċer.
""Qilkemm kien fadal flus kull sena. Ħassejtni inċert imma ma kontx naf x'nagħmel,"" tgħid l-omm ta' żewġt itfal ta' 36 sena, li tgħix f'Fujian, provinċja fin-Nofsinhar taċ-Ċina.
Ix-xokk għall-finanzi tal-familja tagħha wassal lis-Sinjura Zhuo biex tingħaqad max-xejra ta’ żgħażagħ Ċiniżi li jfittxu sieħba – jew da zi – b’interessi simili fuq l-internet. Iżda minflok ma tivvjaġġa jew tagħmel eżerċizzju flimkien, ingħaqdet ma’ nies li jridu jaqsmu pariri dwar kif tiffranka l-flus.
Il-hashtag ""saving da zi"" ħarġet għall-ewwel darba fuq Xiaohongshu, il-verżjoni taċ-Ċina ta 'Instagram, fi Frar 2023. S'issa ġibed 1.7 miljun fehmiet, skont id-ditta ta' analiżi tad-dejta Newsrank. Fuq Weibo, suġġetti dwar l-hekk imsejħa sieħba tas-salvataġġ dehru miljuni ta’ drabi.
It-tendenza turi ""kunfidenza baxxa fl-ekonomija tal-futur"", jgħid Lu Xi, professur tal-politika pubblika fl-Università Nazzjonali ta 'Singapor. Anke jekk l-ekonomija Ċiniża kibret aktar malajr milli mistenni fl-ewwel tliet xhur, xorta qed tiffaċċja kriżi tal-proprjetà li qed tikber, tnaqqis fl-investiment barrani u żieda fid-djun tal-gvern lokali.
Is-Sinjura Zhuo tħossha xxurtjata li qed taħdem fis-settur tal-enerġija nadifa, industrija li qed tespandi li hija stmata li kkontribwiet madwar 40% tat-tkabbir ekonomiku tal-pajjiż is-sena li għaddiet. Madankollu, hi tħossha mmexxija biex “tipprepara għall-periklu” peress li ħafna mill-ħbieb u l-familja tagħha qed jitilfu l-impjieg tagħhom.
Getty Images Klijent jixtri patata f'supermarket fid-9 ta' Marzu 2024 fil-Kontea ta' Congjiang, Qiandongnan Miao u l-Prefettura Awtonoma ta' Dong, Provinċja ta' Guizhou taċ-ĊinaGetty Images
Fiċ-Ċina, in-nisa ġeneralment jimmaniġġjaw l-ispejjeż regolari tad-dar
Fi Frar ta’ din is-sena, is-Sinjura Zhuo ingħaqdet ma’ diversi gruppi ta’ tfaddil onlajn, bil-biċċa l-kbira tal-membri jkunu nisa ta’ bejn l-20 u l-40 sena. Kuljum, jirreġistraw il-baġit u l-ispejjeż tagħhom. Jgħinu wkoll biex iwaqqfu lil xulxin milli jagħmlu xiri impuls.
Is-Sinjura Zhuo tgħid li membru wieħed kien it-tentazzjoni li jixtri borża lussuża li tiswa 5,000 wan ($690; £560) iżda wara li tkellem ma’ nisa oħra fil-grupp ikkonstatat għal borża ferm irħas u użata.
Hija sorpriża li ħafna oħrajn qed jagħmlu l-istess, u tgħid li tħoss sens ta’ kamaraderija mal-imsieħba tagħha li jsalvaw. Xahar biss wara li ngħaqdet ma’ sieħeb, hi tgħid li l-infiq tagħha naqas b’40%. Hija issa timmira li tiffranka 100,000 wan din is-sena.
Wen Zhong, għalliema tal-iskola primarja ta’ 30 sena, tgħid li naqqset ix-xiri onlajn tagħha bl-għajnuna tal-imsieħba tagħha li jsalvaw.
Maħruqa jew bla xogħol - iltaqa mat-'tfal full-time' taċ-Ċina
Ġen Z bla kwiet qed ifassal mill-ġdid il-Ħolma Ċiniża
Minflok, issa tqattaʼ aktar ħin taqra u tinsiġ. Hija bdiet tbigħ ukoll il-prodotti magħmula bl-idejn tagħha f’suq lokali, li jġib flus żejda. Aktar importanti minn hekk, tgħid is-Sinjura Wen, dan għenha tbiddel lejn stil ta’ ħajja minimalista, li hija tapprezza aktar.
Iċ-Ċina diġà għandha waħda mill-ogħla rati ta' tfaddil fid-dinja. Ċifri uffiċjali juru li sal-aħħar tal-2023 id-djar tal-pajjiż kellhom madwar 138 triljun wan fil-bank, żieda ta 'kważi 14% minn sena qabel.
Iżda Dr Lu jgħid li dan il-livell għoli ta 'tfaddil jista' jirriżulta li huwa problema kbira għall-gvern Ċiniż. Normalment il-bank ċentrali tal-pajjiż jista' jgħin biex isaħħaħ l-ekonomija billi jnaqqas ir-rati tal-imgħax peress li jagħmel l-iffrankar inqas attraenti. Madankollu, jekk in-nies ikomplu jevitaw li jonfqu u jiffrankaw il-flus tagħhom minflok dan jista' jnaqqas il-kapaċità tal-bank li jinfluwenza l-ekonomija.
Sadanittant, xi nisa għażlu metodu ta’ tfaddil aktar tradizzjonali – li jżommu l-flus fid-dar. Huwa mhux tas-soltu peress li ċ-Ċina marret fil-biċċa l-kbira mingħajr flus kontanti, b'tant nies jużaw apps bħal Alipay u WeChat Pay.
Handout Is-Sinjura Chen u l-familja tagħhaHandout
Is-Sinjura Chen taħseb li l-familja tagħha se teħtieġ mill-inqas ħames miljun wan fi tfaddil
Is-Sinjura Chen, ta’ 32 sena li tmexxi parlor tas-sbuħija fil-provinċja ċentrali ta’ Henan, u ma xtaqetx tiżvela isimha, tgħid li tirtira l-biċċa l-kbira tad-dħul tagħha mill-bank kull xahar u tpoġġih f’kaxxa. Ladarba tilħaq il-50,000 wan, hija tippjana li tirritorna lill-bank bħala depożitu fiss.
""Fil-passat, ma kelli l-ebda pjan ta 'iffrankar iżda xorta kien fadal xi flus. Issa, saret aktar ta' sfida biex tiffranka,"" tgħid.
Il-memes li juru d-diżillużjoni taż-żgħażagħ taċ-Ċina
Iċ-Ċina se jkollha 300 miljun pensjonant. Jista’ jaffordjahom?
Biex nibdew, it-tnaqqis fir-ritmu ekonomiku taċ-Ċina fisser li l-parlor tas-sbuħija tagħha tilef numru sinifikanti ta 'klijenti u ħafna mir-reguli tagħha naqqsu l-infiq tagħhom. Barra minn hekk, is-Sinjura Chen u żewġha huma tfal biss, li jfisser li jridu jieħdu ħsieb il-ġenituri anzjani tagħhom.
Il-koppja għandhom ukoll żewġ subien u s-Sinjura Chen tinkwieta li tiffranka biżżejjed biex eventwalment tixtrilhom djar. Fiċ-Ċina, il-ġenituri normalment jixtru dar għal binhom meta jiżżewweġ.
Skont l-istima tagħha, is-Sinjura Chen u żewġha jeħtieġu mill-inqas ħames miljun wan fi tfaddil. Iżda taħseb li anke dan aktarx mhux se jkun biżżejjed peress li issa reġgħet tqila.
“Li jkolli flus kontanti f’id inħossni inqas ansjuż,” tgħid hi. ""Inħossni sikur u sodisfatt meta nara munzelli ta' karti tal-flus dejjem aktar ħoxnin.""

🤝 Gameshift x Google Cloud

Solana Labs announced a partnership with Google Cloud to bring GameShift to customers of Google Cloud.
GameShift provides tools and APIs to offer an accessible platform for developers to add blockchain elements to their games.
With GameShift, games can now include digital assets, non-custodial wallets for easy sign-ins, scalable creation of in-game assets, NFT marketplaces. and user-generated content that leverage blockchain's benefits such as security, transparency, and interoperability.
"By bringing GameShift into Google Cloud’s ecosystem for living games, we're giving developers a streamlined path to build immersive blockchain experiences without wrestling with the underlying technology." ~ Jack Buser, Director for Games at Google Cloud
By making it easier to integrate web3 elements, Solana and Google Cloud are setting the stage for more use of blockchain technologies in the gaming industry.
Solana Labs teams up with Google Cloud on Web3 games via GameShift

🙈 Arcium Confidential Computing

Arcium is introducing a transformative approach to confidential computing (CC) that enhances privacy and security across blockchain applications.
This was teased a while back when Elusiv Privacy announced it was sunsetting in favor of a more advanced solution.
Their new platform leverages advanced cryptographic technologies to provide a trustless and verifiable framework for executing encrypted computations. This enables enhanced security and privacy for applications by encrypting data not just when it is stored or in transit, but also when it is in use.
Arcium introduces a shift from hardware dependency towards a cryptographic approach for encryption.
It utilizes advanced cryptographic techniques including:
Multiparty Computation (MPC): This allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private.
Homomorphic Encryption (HE): Enables operations on encrypted data, producing an encrypted result that, when decrypted, matches the result of operations performed on the plaintext.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Allows one party to prove to another that a statement is true, without revealing any information apart from the fact that the statement is indeed true.
Designed for developers building in DeFi, AI, and beyond, Arcium uses a parallelized network architecture to provide encrypted computation without relying on hardware solutions or trusted third parties.
Arcium's network comprises two main components:

Multiparty Computation Execution Environments (MXEs)

These are configurable environments where developers can set specific parameters for secure multiparty computations, including who initiates the executions, which nodes participate, and what MPC protocol is used. MXEs support a variety of operations on encrypted data, ensuring that data remains confidential even during computation.

The Arx Network

This decentralized network consists of nodes, known as Arx, which collaborate to process encrypted data using MPC. Nodes can form clusters to perform joint computations, ensuring that encrypted data is processed securely without exposing individual data elements.
Developers can configure MXEs according to their application needs using Arcium’s user-friendly API, which includes both a web-based interface and an SDK.
Arcium has opened applications for an incentivized private testnet. This opportunity allows developers to run nodes or build applications using Arcium's infrastructure.
Arcium: The first parallelized confidential computing network

2024.05.08 00:58 Sobaloochi R3, a deep dive

(Plz laugh….. OK, it was a bad pun)
R3 Spoilers because DUH
Round 2 just ended (we all became goll and cried buckets of tears …) Regardless despite losing two in a row, humanity stands tall, Why? Adam, the first man laid down his life to (get the milk) to save his children because while they aren’t perfect, great destruction isn’t exactly necessary. Then we cut to Goll crying (Shut up, Ragnarok is stressful OK? Imagine if 13-year-old you were Goll, how would you do?) and Hrist’s intro. We then receive a few select words that are stunning; The third-round fighter is Poseidon, the god of gods, Zeus Enalios. Who does Brunhilde consider? Qin Shi Huang, Leonidas(Jury's still out on if he’d win), and Nostradamus. But who fights him? Someone whom she never expects, Sasaki Kojiro.(Old man anime trope inserted here) Immediately Goll questions Kojiro about his age, since the golden age, which he should be in the prime of his life. Brunhilde knocks over a pitcher of milk which he then catches and drinks in one move according to Brunhilde, who is in the room where it happened. Damn, this essay is really about milk somehow, well that’s going to change because let's get into what makes the characters so unique.
(Insert short fight noises and Posiedion cursing like a sailor, that’s why he curses so much!)
Sorry, about that the god that should have taken Shiva’s spot as a chief god, and the god of gods(God2?) needs no introduction. (Sorry to the Shiva and Sasaki fans he held me at Trident Point and forced me to introduce him first and the Shiva thing too)Poseidon is Honor cranked up to eleven. He showcases the Honor of being such divinity, hell his intro isn’t even about him it’s about the idea that gods give others harsh trials to be worthy of their attention. ( he doesn’t fuck around like Zeus. Mythological inaccuracy….Stab noise…Scream of pain )Sorry, I have to go to Nifelhel for some milk. 
Regardless his first words are insults, also Odin’s crows shat on his shoulders when Poseidon emerged from the sea. The reason he insults humans is threefold, He tests them Since they didn’t bow to him. However, he does like that they are afraid of him He thinks the humans should just roll over and die to save the gods, important beings the trouble So why is Poseidon honor and not pride? Well, first Zeus is pride in a nutshell…and secondly, he assumes that he will be honored beyond all else. As he enters, all the gods grow silent, and scarcely speak, a sign of respect since he’s just that terrifying. He showcases Honor to the nth degree only to himself. He assumes he will be honored, feared, and respected. His ideas are what a god should be… alone, yet feared beyond all else.
In contrast, the man who fights him is described as history’s greatest loser, Sasaki Kojiro. A man whose intro isn’t about how he strikes fear but who has cultivated the sword the best. His intro then confuses, why should a loser try to win? Why is an old man in his fighting prime? Yet, I’d argue that Sasaki is dignified, He gives respect to those who deserve it and accepts losses humbly. Hell, he bows to Poseidon despite the battle deciding the fate of humanity. He knows what a journey looks like, not just starting at the peak but climbing the mountain to see the view. In some ways, Lu Bu and Sasaki are opposites yet have striking similarities. Both yearn for the top and are looking for ways to grow, however, Lu Bu is born with unparalleled strength and Sasaki works for it. One had strength all his life and the other worked hard to gain it. One is interested in raw strength while the other is all about technique. One stood lonely at the peak (I know Chen Gong is here) and the other walked the lonely road, not recognized by his fellow masters. Yet did he turn sour with revenge and anger? No, he didn’t. He made his own path to the top, without anyone helping or teaching him. Sasaki finds another mountain where Lu Bu is stuck, he was never the strongest on earth so he trains relentlessly in death, advancing beyond what he was known for in life. When we get introduced to his fellow sword masters they all, minus Musashi(including his son), begin to wonder why Sasaki was chosen when Musashi won their duel. The evidence is shown in a few panels where their doubt turns to awe as Sasaki draws his sword and the waves stop. It’s so strong that all of the sword masters begin crying and with no other evidence Musashi destroys the sacred texts his son holds because he recognizes that Sasaki has surpassed even him.
Yet, Disrespect was a huge part of round three as it was always present in both characters. Poseidion’s on a very surface level, but is shown throughout the entirety of the fight is only reaffirmed to be his way of thinking. He insults both gods and humans, calling them bottom feeders, filthy and disgusting. Poseidon unlike his brother Zeus doesn't respect strength, rather refusing to acknowledge when he is weaker than his opponent. This ultimately leads Poseidon to his demise. You wonder why Zeus was the only Greek character to live in the first half or Ragnorok? (Hades included) this wasn’t because of more power than Adam, not even pure chance favored the GCOF, but rather his ability to cope… I mean change. Before all 3 million Hades fans kill me, he changed far too late. He recognized little differences between gods and humans, and he realized that Zeus was wrong. Zeus was shattered after round two, the best of the gods only won by pure luck, and was forced to admit that humanity could surpass the gods in ways the gods couldn’t fathom human imagination and evolution. So round three was crucial, but in a way, Poseidon was even more stubborn than Zeus and even more change-resistant. In a way this is Zeus saying that what happened to him is a fluke and that the gods have no reason to change… they should still be respected, cherished, and most importantly feared. Sasaki proves Zeus wrong. He takes the disrespect from his opponent and turns it into motivation. He goes from an old man who mastered the blade to being able to kill the tyrant of the ocean. Sasaki too disrespects Poseidon, however, it is only ever in reaction to what Poseidon does. Sasaki sits because Poseidon refuses to move, but it’s no arrogance, just humility in Sasaki. Sasaki turns his back on his opponent, he thinks of surrendering and yet persevered. 
A god has fallen to humanity… and all the gods can do is be silent… their honor lay shattered in the wind… for the impossible has been done… a god dead at a mortal’s hand.
Instead of seeking revenge, Zeus admits that humans are strong. The lasting impact of this reverberates across the fights as a whole. After the honor of the gods shatters can they interact in the truest way of battle with humans, and their ideals. Before R3 this is only seen in R1; Thor isn't demanding to be honored or feared, he just wants a rival. Afterward, the gods connect with humans on a much more personal level.

Vouches

I am vouched, I ONLY ACCEPT VENMO, if you don’t have Venmo, I’ll accept PayPal F&F though I highly prefer Venmo due to faster transfer times.

SHIPPING HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE LATELY < price for a 1lb 14oz box lol.

Before you complain in the comments, YES, EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE. It’s hard to price match since the search bar does not work.

I aim to be as TRANSPARENT as possible! Lmk any questions and I’m here to help:)

RETAIL VERY NEGOTIABLE:

🔥INSANE STEAL!!! NEEDS TO GO!!🔥A1YX MONO BOOTS IN WHITE $275 + ship $225 SHIPPED. Size 11, FITS 10.5-11.5, but would be best for 10.5-11. ABSOLUTELY BRAND NEW. Purchased from F4rfetch for $450 last winter and just never used them. Currently on grai1ed for $280+ (which means close to $350 after tax, shipping, and grai1ed buyer fees). Not really negotiable on these since it’s already significantly cheaper than after all the fees on second hand markets. Have seen some listings that are even asking $650. Foam build and very comfy imo, these give you at least 3 inches of height and are a very unique but also subtle enough to be a very versatile boot for daily wear. Cannot take insole out but fits 10.5-11.5 , but would be best for 10.5-11. Never used, 100% brand new and authentic. Comes with 2 a1yx branded dust bags and the box.

The clasp is so cool and locks in with a magnet and is very secure and only comes off when you twist it. I added a video for you guys to see. There is a similar clasp system in the back, which you can wear in the front if you like for a very modular design. Zippers and pickets everywhere on this piece. Honestly a 1 of a kind piece and very 1:1. Never been used or washed. Brand new besides trying it on.

These are brand new, they shipped with a slight stain on the bottom but it is HARDLY NOTICEABLE in person and on camera too. I think it is chalk or tape so it will likely come off after first wash. Never been used or washed. Quality is amazing and I think these are the most versatile and dailyable cargo. Material is very light and breathable which makes it amazing for the spring and summer. Very high water proofing as well. Fit, quality, and overall accuracy is 1:1. From 15p, best batch out and unanimously the best seller for RO bottoms. WILL COME WITH FREE RO DRK TOTE BAG

ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PIECES BELOW ARE FROM SURVIVAL SOURCE. I am highly highly highly against budget jewelry as it can literally put your health at risk and expose you to toxic chemicals. Survival formally said he is done selling chrome, it’s either here or thousands for retail.
SURV1VAL S0URCE CHR0ME ❤️ DIAMOND PLUS BRACELET $255 SHIPPED. SIZE 19CM - would work best for 17-18.5cm wrists. THIS IS A GRAIL PIECE FOR MANY. This fit my 18cm wrist perfectly with some wiggle room. Has a very very very substantial weight to it - THE CLASP IS PERFECT ON THIS. this uses the CH double locking box clasp which is 100% the most secure clasp that CH uses. SS did an amazing job on this clasp - practically flawless and there is absolutely no way this will every fall off by accident like some other clasps. Never used besides try on. Engravings, weight, details, are all insanely 1:1. Definitely a lifetime piece of you take care of it properly. Not a big bracelet guy - mainly more into rings and necklaces. Bought this because SS was shutting down but I have no use for this. WILL COME WITH CH TRAVEL BAG, SILVER CLOTH, SHOP BAG, AND JEWELRY BOX! THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

2024.04.30 14:16 Ragna_Blade I just finished listening to the Kyoshi audiobooks. Let's see how badly I guess the names

So I'd only consider myself a moderate Avatar fan. I've seen every episode at least 2-5 times with maybe one or two exceptions (I swear I can't recall major parts from the North Pole episodes...like when is there a lunar eclipse?) and I'm currently watching Korra for a second time. So I decided to listen to 'The Rise of Kyoshi' and 'The Shadow of Kyoshi' books and they were fine supplementary material. But since I can't read only heard the narrator speak the names and have little familiarity with any of the Asian cultures that likely inspired the characters' names I can only guess how they are spelled. So let's go through the characters I can remember from the top of my head and see which ones, if any, I can guess the spelling on. And small SPOILER WARNING since I need to describe some of the characters.
...so to those that have actually read the books, how did I do? Did I get any of the right? Probably not.
tl;dr- OP shows just how white he really is.
