### Pronoun

彼時
* (literary or Taiwanese and Philippine Hokkien) at that time
    From: 1942, 毛澤東 (Mao Zedong), 《在延安文藝座談會上的講話》 (Talks at the Yenan Forum on Literature and Art), 《毛澤東選集》. English translation based on the Foreign Languages Press edition
    Shíjìshàng, guòqù de wényì zuòpǐn bùshì yuán érshì liú, shì gǔrén hé wàiguórén gēnjù tāmen bǐshí bǐdì suǒ dédào de rénmín shēnghuó zhōng de wénxué yìshù yuánliào chuàngzào chūlái de dōngxi. [Pinyin]
    In fact, the literary and artistic works of the past are not a source but a stream; they were created by our predecessors and the foreigners out of the literary and artistic raw materials they found in the life of the people of their time and place.
