The Influence of Sino-Japanese Zen Communication on Five Mountain Poetry: A Case Study of Zekkai Chuushin
Authors: Wu Chenghao , Zhang Haoyuan
Published: December 2023

Five Mountain culture, a unique Sino-Japanese exchange, shaped Japan's development via Zen monks. These monks in China and Japan infused Zen's allure into Japan, initially captivating aristocrats and later the masses. As Five Mountain culture spread, it met the ruling party's needs, blending Chinese culture with local roots to form a distinct Japanese culture. Zen monks, especially Zekkai Chuushin, who studied in China, played pivotal roles. Zekkai Chuushin's Zen mastery, appreciation of Chinese customs, and study of Ming Dynasty calligraphy and poetry influenced the spread of Chinese culture. His masterpiece, "Jiao Jian Gao," epitomizes Chinese poetry in Five Mountain, encompassing nostalgia for China, yearning for homeland, and critiques of Japanese politics. Zekkai Chuushin's works reflect a deep exchange between Chinese and Japanese Zen literature, illustrating China's profound impact on Japanese Zen during the Muromachi period. This study explores how Japanese Zen monks, especially Zekkai Chuushin, drew inspiration from Chinese poetry. Through analysis of his poems, the authors examine the influence and adaptation of Chinese poetry in Japanese Zen literature. The comparative analysis highlights similarities and differences with native Chinese poets, shedding light on Japan's reception of Chinese culture in the Five Mountain period. Zekkai Chuushin creatively embraced Chinese poetry, leaving a profound mark on Japanese literature, skillfully merging tradition with originality and enriching Japanese literary culture while preserving Chinese poetic heritage, showcasing Japan's connection to Chinese culture through the Han language.
The Difference of Chinese Buddhist Thought During the Spread of Japan -Combination with Shinto Religious Though
Authors: Wang Yuzhuo
Published: December 2023

China and Japan have always been two countries with much in common in the East Asian cultural circle, and their economic, political and cultural exchanges have been of great importance, whether in ancient times or in modern times. In the history of cultural exchanges between China and Japan, the Chinese Buddhist thought is the most important. Japanese Buddhist thought learned from China has flourished in its native land, and has gone through all kinds of localization with Japanese national characteristics, and in this historical process, Japanese native national culture has also had a great influence on Chinese Buddhism. which was mainly reflected in the combination with Japanese Shinto religious thought. In the cultural exchanges, Shinto absorbed the Taoism of Buddhism, and Buddhism was popularized in Japan through the momentum of Shinto. Through the research of this thesis, it is concluded that Shinto perfected its own teachings through the spread of Buddhism, and Buddhism relied on Shinto to spread through myths among the ruling class and the common people of Japan. After the Meiji Restoration, Shinto gradually overshadowed Buddhism due to the belief in the cult of the Emperor, and the development of Chinese Buddhism in Japan gradually lost its original characteristics due to the ruling classs policy towards Shinto.

The Worst Person in the World and Postmodern Feminism
Authors: Zhou Wanting
Published: December 2023

The movie The Worst Person in the World (2021), takes place in Oslo and revolves around a woman named Julie. She is in her late twenties and finds herself caught in a cycle of indecision. She is unable to find a career or a relationship that fulfills her self-worth. The film primarily revolves around the character of the female protagonist, Julie, with the storyline and character development centered on her. Renate Reinsve, who plays the lead role, received the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance in this movie. These years, with the influence of the #MeToo movement, for some viewers, this film may be considered one of the representative works of feminism in cinema. From the character design, cinematography, and references to postmodern feminism in the film, it is indeed a movie that aligns with the principles of postmodern feminism. However, its important to note that the films creative team is predominantly male, and postmodern feminism itself contains inherent theoretical contradictions. Therefore, from an objective standpoint, this film cannot be classified as a feminist movie.

Authors: Sun Yifan
Published: December 2023

In the digital age, social media platforms like Weibo, WeChat, and Xiaohongshu have become pivotal spaces for discussing various life aspects, including fertility risks. This study aims to fill a significant research gap by exploring the impact of these discussions on womens reproductive anxiety, particularly among Chinese women aged 2035. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study conducts in-depth interviews to investigate womens perceptions of fertility anxiety across health, socio-economic, and family domains. The findings reveal that social media discussions can be categorized into three main areas: health-related concerns, socioeconomic factors, and family dynamics. These discussions often employ sensational headlines, alarming statistical data, and anecdotal narratives, intensifying preexisting anxieties. Women employ various coping mechanisms, seeking solace in online communities that offer alternative viewpoints and emotional support. The study also uncovers a shift towards reproductive autonomy influenced by internet usage. Women exposed to diverse perspectives on fertility and reproductive health are prompted to question societal norms, leading to a heightened sense of autonomy. The study holds significance for its comprehensive approach and serves as a foundation for future research, including the exploration of the influence of social media influencers and healthcare professionals on public sentiment and conduct. It not only validates existing theories but also introduces novel perspectives, particularly for Chinese women, thereby paving the way for future investigations.

Analysis of the Korean Wave's Evolutionary Trends and Causes from a Feminist Perspective
Authors: Lu Guo
Published: December 2023

The development of Korean Wave culture has gained more and more attention, and it has also caused a lot of controversy. The causes of the current trend of the Korean Wave are examined while specifically focusing on female empowerment within a feminist context. This paper examines the causes of the current Hallyu trend, with a special focus on women's empowerment in the context of feminism. This study analyzes the development process of the Korean Wave since the late 1990s and the characteristics of its different stages. Specifically, this entails studying the transition from the initial success of Korean dramas to the music industry, which ultimately led to its unique cultural identity as a symbol of Korea. The article specifically discusses the reasons that led the Korean Wave's culture to focus on women's empowerment, including the awakening of women's consciousness, the social and cultural environment, and business. This study argues that the development of K-pop should focus on women's rights, pay attention to the research gap between feminism and women's consciousness, and actively use this opportunity to promote gender equality. This article believes that Korean Wave culture should take the initiative to convey the correct women's thoughts and values, cooperate with the brand's marketing and concept guidance, and let more different types of women be seen by the world.

Authors:   Korean Intraoperative Neural Monitoring Society, Jang Jae Won , Han Myung Woul
Published: December 2023

The da Vinci single port(SP) robotic system features a single arm design that may be particularly suitable for procedures requiring long and narrow working spaces, such as thyroidectomy. Recent advances in preoperative localization studies and the increasing demand for scarless surgery have spurred research into remote surgical techniques for parathyroid surgery. The hairline approach appears to offer the most convenient and safest access to the neck. In this paper, we share our preliminary experience with SP robotic parathyroidectomy, employing only a hairline incision, in one patient with primary hyperparathyroidism. The operation lasted 35 minutes and the console time was 15 minutes. There were no postoperative complications. The SP robot parathyroidectomy using a hairline incision is a viable and safe, providing improved surgical exposure and instrument manipulation.

Authors:   Korean Intraoperative Neural Monitoring Society, Lee Cho Rok
Published: December 2023

Thyroid surgery is associated with a risk of injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN), the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve(EBSLN), and voice changes. Intraoperative neuromonitoring(IONM) has already gained universal reliability to help in nerve identification, safe nerve dissection, and prediction of postoperative vocal cord function. IONM techniques have evolved over the past decade into intermittent IONM(I-IONM) and continuous IONM(C-IONM) modes of application. Research in the field of IONM continues, exploring new techniques and approaches to further enhance the safety and efficacy of thyroid surgery. In this article, the role of IONM and its recent studies will be reviewed.
History of the Future: Perspectives of Space, Materiality and Visualization
Authors: Fong Janet
Published: December 2023

Cet article contribue à l’étude des stratégies curatoriales en explorant les relations spatiales et temporelles entre les expositions dans l’espace physique et les pratiques artistiques technologiques. Souvent qualifiée de « sublime technologique », la nostalgie et l’anticipation contemporaines ajoutent une nouvelle dimension à la croyance populaire dans le pouvoir de la technologie de façonner l’histoire, faisant de la technologie le médiateur de nos interactions avec la nature. Le sublime technologique émerge de la fusion de l’ingéniosité humaine et de la puissance écrasante du monde numérique avec des expériences permettant de créer une condition historique alternative des représentations dans la société. Il s’agit également d’une sensation semblable à celle de se tenir au bord d’un abîme numérique, où les frontières entre le réel et le virtuel s’estompent dans l’espace. Dans des discussions sur les nouvelles méthodologies dans les pratiques artistiques, des commissaires d’exposition envisagent le potentiel de la technologie de briser les limites supposées de l’humanité et évaluent sa participation possible aux pratiques sociales futures et aux démarcations entre l’espace virtuel et l’espace physique. Cet article cherche à découvrir si un environnement virtuel peut être lu comme une extension de la réalité ou comme la coexistence d’environnements physiques et numériques. Cette analyse du fonctionnement des méthodologies curato-riales met en lumière la manière dont la société traite collectivement les interventions technologiques dans les espaces de créativité humaine, tout en révélant leurs liens inextricables. L’article soutient que l’approche ne modifie pas la réalité mais incorpore chacun dans sa réalité. Pour ce faire, l’article se penche sur l’exposition « F.N.S.X. @ History of the Future », qui explore la coexistence et la construction d’une communauté entre les êtres humains et la technologie numérique à travers le travail des artistes Fei Jun, Peter Nelson, Daniel Shanken et Xu Yibo. Parmi les nombreuses méthodes d’interprétation historique, l’exposi-tion se perçoit comme une  « micro-histoire ». À la lumière du contexte de l’histoire de l’art dans le domaine de l’objet et de l’espace, « History of the Future » tente d’étudier le potentiel que peuvent apporter des artistes à la narra-tion des images, des objets et des espaces créés à l’aide des outils visuels des nouvelles technologies. Chaque œuvre exposée possède ses propres caractéristiques et sa propre situation historique ; les histoires de l’art individuelles pouvant être considérées comme les trajectoires de diffé-rentes présentations visuelles. Mêlant corrélation spa-tiale, hypermatérialité, visualisation et narration, l’ex-position dépeint l’influence que la créativité peut exercer sur le développement technologique et reflète les possibi-lités offertes par la technologie numérique à la recherche en histoire de l’art.
From the White Cube to the Black Box and back: Lighting design for new media art exhibitions
Authors: Juste Carlijn
Published: December 2023

Instead of being exhibited in a room full of light, digital or new media art is often shown in dark spaces. While this may initially be explained by technical constraints – works using video projectors work best in dark spaces – subdued lighting is now establishing itself as a new norm for the display of such works. By analyzing contemporary exhibitions and creating numerous links with the exhibition of other objects and art forms, the article questions the aesthetic and perceptive qualities of these forms of lighting. It then goes on to show that artists and curators are now challenging this norm by reintroducing light into new media art exhibition spaces.
Insight from Nunavut Educators Using Appreciative Inquiry
Authors: Preston Jane P.
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this paper is to document some successful features of public schools within Nunavut, according to the personal experiences of a group of 14 principals, vice-principals, and teachers. At the start of this paper, I explained my research positionality, depicting my personal history and background related to this study. From a total of 24 individual interviews, three themes surfaced: culturally vibrant programs, the array of professional development offered to educators, and student self-pride and involvement in school activities. To conceptualize the findings, I applied the 4-D cycle of appreciative inquiry (i.e., Discovery, Dream, Design, and Destiny) and explained how effective change can emerge within a school system. Appreciative inquiry is a change process of identifying what is working well, deciphering why it is working well, and emulating more of those positive attributes. L’objectif de cet article est de documenter quelques-unes des caractéristiques des écoles publiques au Nunavut qui - selon les expériences personnelles d’un groupe de 14 personnes composé de directeurs, directeurs adjoints et d’enseignants - sont les mieux réussies. Je commence par expliquer mon positionnement comme chercheuse, évoquant ainsi mon histoire et mes antécédents personnels par rapport à cette étude. Trois thèmes ressortent des 24 entrevues individuelles : des programmes dynamiques sur le plan culturel, des possibilités en matière de développement professionnel pour les enseignants, et l’orgueil des élèves et leur et la participation aux activités scolaires. Pour présenter les résultats, j’ai appliqué la démarche des 4D de l’enquête appréciative (c.-à-d. découverte, devenir, décision, déployer) et j’ai expliqué comment le changement peut véritablement avoir lieu au sein d’un système scolaire. L’enquête appréciative est un processus de changement qui consiste à identifier les éléments qui fonctionnent bien, comprendre les raisons de leur efficacité et imiter davantage de ces aspects positifs.

Published: December 2023

Due to their complex compositions, high entropy alloys (HEAs) offer a diverse range of material properties, making them highly adaptable for various applications, including those crucial for future sustainability. Phase engineering in HEAs presents a unique opportunity to tailor materials for environmentally friendly technologies and energy-efficient solutions. However, the challenge of predicting phase selection, a key aspect in harnessing the full potential of HEAs for sustainable applications, is compounded by the limited availability of HEA data. This study presents a distinctive approach by using a precisely produced and selected dataset to train an artificial neural network (ANN) model. This dataset, unlike prior studies, is uniquely constructed to contain an equal amount of training data for each phase in HEAs, which includes single-phase solid solutions (SS), amorphous (AM), and intermetallic compounds (IM). This methodology is relatively unexplored in the field and addresses the imbalanced data issue common in HEA research. To accurately assess the model's performance, rigorous cross-validation was employed to systematically adapt the model's hyperparameters for phase formation prediction. The assessment includes metrics such as phase-wise accuracy (AM 86.67% SS 81.25% & IM 82.35%), confusion matrix, and Micro-F1 score (0.83), all of which collectively demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. The study highlights the importance of feature parameters in phase prediction for HEAs, shedding light on the factors influencing phase selection. Its balanced dataset and training method notably advance machine learning in HEA phase prediction, providing valuable insights for material design amidst challenges and data scarcity in the field.
MİLLİ MÜCADELE SÜRECİNDE YUNANİSTAN'IN FRANSIZ VE İTALYAN TİCARET GEMİLERİNE EL KOYMASI VE YAŞANAN DİPLOMATİK KRİZ
Authors: TUNA Serkan
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada, Millî Mücadele sürecinde Yunanistan’ın Fransız ve İtalyan ticaret gemilerine el koymasıyla yaşanan diplomatik kriz incelenmiştir. 1922 yılına gelindiğinde, ciddi bir ekonomik ve siyasi kriz içerisinde bulunan Yunanistan, Şubat-Mart 1922’de, kendisini diplomatik açıdan daha da zorlayacak bir eyleme girişmiştir. Bu çerçevede Yunan kuvvetleri, Türk kesimine kaçak malzeme taşıdıkları gerekçesiyle bir Fransız ve dört İtalyan ticaret gemisinde arama yapmıştır. Ardından Fransız gemisi ile bir İtalyan gemisine el koymuşlardır. Bu gelişme üzerine gerek Fransız gerekse İtalyan Hükûmeti diplomatik açıdan sert bir tepkide bulunmuş, gerçekleşen müdahale ve el koymaların uluslararası ticarete de aykırı olduğunu açıklamışlardır. Olay, Türk kamuoyunda da yankı bulmuş ve Yunanistan’ın ekonomik ve siyasi açıdan zorluklar yaşadığına dikkat çekilerek bu davranışın hukuksuz olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Bu tepkilere karşın Yunanistan, bir süre konuyu kendi lehine çözümlemek için çaba harcamış ve Fransa’ya Cemiyet-i Akvam’a gidilmesi teklifinde bulunmuştur. Ancak bu teklifi kabul edilmeyen Yunanistan, İngiltere’den de beklediği desteği alamadığından oldukça güç bir konumda kalmıştır. Bunun üzerine el konulan gemiler bırakılmış ve Fransa ile İtalya’dan resmî olarak özür dilenmiştir. Ayrıca bu ülkelerin ticaret gemilerinde arama yapılmayacağı güvencesi verilmiş ve bir tazminat ödenmesi kabul edilmiştir.

Subventionswettbewerb und -wahnsinn – Zwischen Markt(wirtschaft) und neuer europäischer Industriepolitik
Authors: Bungenberg Marc
Published: December 2023

Der amerikanische Inflation Reduction Act hat die Wirtschaftswelt in helle Aufregung versetzt. Dieser Ausdruck einer neuen amerikanischen Industriepolitik zieht Investitionen an, weshalb auf europäischer Seite die Angst vor einer De-Industrialisierung umgeht. Der Beitrag geht insbesondere darauf ein, dass die USA mit ihrer Politik keinesfalls einen Startschuss zu einem Subventionswettlauf gegeben haben. Die EU und ihre Mitgliedstaaten sind trotz eines grundsätzlichen Beihilfeverbots hier bereits seit längerem und in großem Umfang aktiv. Hingewiesen wird letztlich auf die Verpflichtungen des unionalen Primärrechts, plädiert wird für die eine engere nordatlantische Kooperation.
Ist eine gerichtliche Verfolgung der russischen Aggression gegen die Ukraine möglich? Und wenn ja, durch welches Gericht?
Authors: Oellers-Frahm Karin
Published: December 2023

Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit der Frage, ob die Aggression Russlands gegen die Ukraine gerichtlich abgeurteilt werden kann und welches Gericht dafür zuständig sein könnte. Dabei ist zwischen der individuellen kriminellen Verantwortung und der Verantwortung des Staates zu unterscheiden. Individuelle kriminelle Verfolgung ist grundsätzlich vor nationalen Gerichten möglich, allerdings besteht hier immer noch das Hindernis der Immunität, zumindest wenn es um Träger hoher offizieller Ämter geht unabhängig davon, ob es um Kriegsverbrechen, Genozid oder Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit oder das Verbrechen der Aggression geht. Grundsätzlich kann die Immunität nur vor einem internationalen Strafgericht überwunden werden, wie dem IStGH. Aber auch hier ist die Frage der Zuständigkeit ausschlaggebend, und im vorliegenden Fall wird der IStGH Putin und seine Unterstützer nicht wegen des Verbrechens der Aggression verfolgen können, da diese Zuständigkeit für Staaten, die nicht Partei des Römischen Statuts sind, grundsätzlich ausgeschlossen ist. Daher wurde der Gedanke aufgeworfen, ein „hybrides“ internationales Gericht zu schaffen, das aber m.E. die Hürde der Immunität nicht überwinden kann. Ein solches Gericht würde zudem mit Blick auf seine Legitimität und Selektivität äußerst problematisch sein. Da Strafverfolgung somit wenig aussichtsreich ist, könnte man an eine Verurteilung Russlands vor dem IGH oder dem EGMR denken, bei denen bereits Fälle hierzu anhängig sind, aber auch diese Gerichte werden aufgrund von Zuständigkeitsfragen keine Entscheidung zur Sache treffen können.

Diaphragma Sellotomy: A Safe Technique to Confirm Adequate Decompression of Optic Chiasm
Authors: Chakravarthy Vikram , Gospodarev Vadim , Bissell Jorrdan , Edelbach Brandon , Marc Eastin Timothy , De Los Reyes Kenneth
Published: December 2023

Optic chiasm decompression for preservation of vision is often the primary surgical goal for patients with pituitary tumors. Descent of the diaphragma sellae (DS) is an intraoperative surrogate marker of adequate chiasm decompression. DS may not always descend in an obvious or symmetrical manner, leaving uncertainty to whether the operation was successful. We propose a technique of intentionally incising the DS to ensure adequate chiasm decompression. Here we present patients with pituitary tumors who underwent transsphenoidal surgery and DS incision when the DS was not easily identified and/or did not descend. The approximately 3-mm incision under endoscopic guidance allowed for direct visualization of the suprasellar cistern and optic chiasm. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak was repaired using a nasoseptal flap in 4 cases, while intradural substitute and thrombin glue were utilized in another case. Five patients with pituitary macroadenomas (average size: 6.4 cm3) had endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal resection. Vision improved in all cases postoperatively. There were no postoperative complications or CSF leaks at 1 year. Diaphragma sellotomy ensures chiasm decompression with minimal risk to the patient with current reconstructive techniques and without the need for intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) and reduction of the need for repeated surgical intervention.
An optimization approach to supervised principal component analysis
Authors: O. Smith Anthony , Rangarajan Anand
Published: December 2023

Supervised dimensionality reduction has become an important theme in the last two decades. Despite the plethora of models and formulations, there is a lack of a simple model that aims to project the set of patterns into a space defined by the classes (or categories). We set up a model where each class is represented as a 1D subspace of the vector space formed by the features. Assuming the set of classes does not exceed the cardinality of the features, the model results in multi-class supervised learning in which the features of each class are projected into the class subspace. Class discrimination is guaranteed via the imposition of the orthogonality of the 1D class sub-spaces. The resulting optimization problem—formulated as the minimization of a sum of quadratic functions on a Stiefel manifold—while being non-convex (due to the constraints), has a structure for which we can identify when we have reached a global minimum. After formulating a version with standard inner products, we extend the formulation to a reproducing kernel Hilbert space and similarly to the kernel version. Comparisons with the multi-class Fisher discriminants and principal component analysis showcase the relative merits toward dimensionality reduction.
Technology and Disaster Relief: The Türkiye-Syria Earthquake Case Study
Authors: Ozturkcan Selcen
Published: December 2023

This chapter examines how technology has been used in relief efforts following the devastating earthquakes that struck southeast Turkey and northern and western Syria in February 2023. With over 50,000 deaths and 100,000 injuries, the earthquakes presented one of the worst disasters of the century, requiring significant aid and relief efforts. Examples of AI and social media use cases in accelerating and amplifying rescue and humanitarian relief efforts are presented. Emerging technologies like robots, virtual and augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain technology have the potential to revolutionize disaster relief work in the years to come. The chapter also explores the potential for new technologies, such as the metaverse, to simulate earthquakes and train people on how to respond to them. The conclusion summarizes the importance of technology in disaster relief efforts and highlights the need to continue investing in, testing, and scaling up technological solutions to ensure better preparedness for future disasters.
The Role of Vitamin C in Preventing Some Neurodegenerative Diseases: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s
Authors: Aygörmez Serpil
Published: December 2023

Brain tissue constitutes a small portion of the total body mass. With its high metabolic rate, brain tissue consumes approximately 20% of the total body oxygen. Brain and neural tissue contain higher levels of vitamin C (VC) than other tissues. It is reported that VC is a powerful and natural antioxidant that is not synthesized in any tissue including the brain. VC is abundant in fruits and vegetables. Its most well-known function is by facilitating the hydroxylation of lysine and proline residues in collagen, allowing procollagen to fold intracellularly for export and accumulation as mature collagen. Firstly, it was reported that VC is transported very slowly across the blood brain barrier which distinguishes the central nervous system (CNS) from other systems in VC uptake. Second, the ability to maintain the VC concentration gradient from blood to neuronal cells is produced by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain cells. VC has neuroprotection and neuromodulation effects. In conclusion; since its distribution and concentration in different organs of the body depend on the requirements of VC the pharmacokinetic properties of ascorbate are closely related to the functions it performs in tissues.
Malaria Treatment Landscape: Current Trends and Future Directions
Authors: Mathias Mlugu Eulambius
Published: December 2023

Malaria control relies partly on effective case treatment, with Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) being a cornerstone strategy. ACTs have revolutionized malaria treatment by offering remarkable efficacy and bolstering disease control efforts. They demonstrate exceptional effectiveness against both falciparum and non-falciparum malaria, rendering them suitable for all malaria variants. However, a declining malaria transmission rate introduces a new concern, a heightened risk of severe malaria among the elderly due to fading premunition. An important advancement in malaria management is the deployment of artesunate for severe cases. Given the decreasing transmission rates, a comprehensive control package encompassing disease control and elimination is essential. Primaquine has proven to be effective in curtailing malaria transmission, positioning it as a key component in elimination strategies. In pursuit of malaria eradication, optimization of integrated tools for mass drug administration and chemoprevention initiatives targeting vulnerable populations is crucial. As the development of new antimalarial drugs remains uncertain, securing the longevity of ACTs necessitates innovative approaches and substantial investments. Looking forward, addressing pivotal challenges such as drug resistance, sub-optimal plasma drug exposure, diagnostic insensitivity, and sub-standard medications is paramount. By tackling these challenges head-on, the global community can bolster malaria control and work toward its eventual eradication.

Should we know the story of the lives of those who produce the products we purchase? Do we have an obligation to only buy ethically sourced goods? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Jack Benson gives his child a prototype toy from his company as a Christmas present. When they check the toy battery compartment, they find a sad poem written in Chinese. Jack decides to fly to China and visit the factory where the toy is produced. He pays an employee to read the poem over the factory floor loudspeaker. A woman on the factory line stands up in acknowledgement, then humbly returns to her work. Later, after the shift, she slips him a book of her writings, presumably, expressing more thoughts and emotions about her life.
