I came across an interesting paper online about "Future Chocolate" . Actually, I have a huge sweet tooth and chocolate is one of my favorite food. So, I would like to summarize and share some of the interesting points here. It said that future chocolates don't need cacao. Cacao trees are grown within about 20 kilometer south north of the equator, but they are well-known that it's very hard to grow them. Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire account for over 50% of the supply of cacao beans. However, the weather in the plantation for cacao beans is unstable due to climate change and it threatens the supply of chocolate across the world. Scorching heat is also hitting growing environment of cacao beans hard. That's why the food development as a substitute for chocolates has been attracting a lot of attention lately. Some companies have been finding more sustainable solutions. One of them finally reached two materials. They are sunflower seeds and oats. Unlike cacaos only grown around the equator, sunflower seeds and oats are possible to grow everywhere. On top of that, they need less wafer than cacao beans plantation. It feels like we eat authentic chocolates because the company was particular about flavors and components . The paper said the chocolate has already been commercialized. I really try it in the future.

A piano teacher asked me which song I was working on. I showed her the notation. She asked what language it was, and I said it was Mandarin Chinese, but written in the Wade–Giles romanization system. She then asked the name of the song. I answered, “Secret Fragrance.” “Sha Baoliang’s?” she asked. “Jiang Kui’s.” “Such an old song,” she said. “From the Southern Song dynasty.” Indeed. Every single winter, I can’t help myself from reciting Jiang Kui’s “Secret Fragrance.” “I sigh that the road is too long to send a blossom, and the evening snow begins to pile up.” She asked what instrument he had originally composed it for. I said, “The xiao flute.” “Jiang Kui was truly talented,” she said. “But it’s rare for someone as young as you to admire him so much.” “You can’t fully understand his lyrics,” I said, “unless you’ve experienced the life of an unemployed wanderer.” “He Xun now is gradually aging, And entirely forgets the lyric brush inspired by the spring wind.” Then she played another score that Jiang Kui had rediscovered (Nishang Zhongxu Diyi). I especially love the lyrics to this one, which he wrote when he was nearing his end. However, this classical music had seriously declined.
