A crime is an activity which Is against the law. For example, if you steal someone's property, you are committing a crime and breaking the law.
Some criminal acts are minor, e.g. you get a fine for illegal parking. For serious crimes, especially violent crimes, e.g. the act of killing someone, a person can go to prison for a long time.

Crime

Hello, I'm Jason, welcome to my channel, remember one character in a minute, and never forget," "大" is like a person with open arms, so in Chinese characters we see “大”, it has two meanings, one meaning is big, another is human, we are going to learn "夫" today, first of all, let's think about it, ancient men have long hair or short hair, yes, it is long hair, Chinese people think that hair is given to us by our parents, we can not cut hair,  because our hair is too long around the age of 16 and we have to tie it up, it also means that we are adults, and we can become husbands，So the line above the character“大” means hairpin，Look at the picture to understand, Combine words“丈夫( zhànɡ fū)husband，夫人( fū rén)wife”， there are also some Chinese characters related to big，妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

大家好，我是杰森，欢迎来到我的频道，一分钟记住一个汉字，并且永不忘记，”大”就像一个张开手臂的人，所以在汉字中我们看到这个字，它有两种含义，一个意思是大，一个意思是人，我们今天来学习”夫”，首先大家想一下，古代的男人是长头发还是短头发，对的，是长头发，中国人认为头发是父母给予我们的，我们不可以剪头发，所以在16岁左右因为我们的头发太长而必须扎起来，这也代表了我们成年了，成年的我们就可以成为别人的丈夫了，所以在大字上边的一横是发簪的意思，请观看封面图理解，这也有很多与大有关的汉字，例如：妖，美，天，夯，立， 站，尖，央，头......

“夫”，shorthand—Never forget the Chinese characters

The 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene
You can die from someone else's misery- emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and the fortunate instead.
