杨丕源 1974 CE

It was more expensive to watch a movie in the capital. One Sunday, 杨杰吉 Yang Jieji took his son to the cinema. He saved by purchasing only one ticket as he could bring his small-sized son in for free. Before the start of the movie, there was no one seated next to him. But justy as the movie started, the seat was filled.

杨丕源 Yang Piyuan then wandered around the cinema hall looking for an empty seat but failed to find one. He then returned to his father's seat. 杨杰吉 Yang Jieji was a little annoyed that his son could not find a seat and had to let him sit on his lap for the entire running of the movie.

This was the year that the British television science series, "Don't Ask Me" started airing. For the next couple of years 杨丕源 Yang Piyuan was a fan of the show. The series was partly instrumental in kindling his interest for knowledge.

China had since become a republic a little over half a century ago. In other words, it had been 52 years since the last Emperor, Puyi 爱新觉罗·溥仪, abdicated his throne.

1963CE was the year that China had developed into a nation strong enough to contribute scientifically to Africa (非洲). It was then in the position to provide medical assistance to some countries in that continent.

It is also estimated that only about 5% of chinese characters are pictograms. Most are 形声字 phonosemantic compounds where part of the character indicates meaning and another part suggests pronunciation.
