IIUM TAKRIM (APPRECIATION) 2021
I had delivered 14 minute speech to address the IIUM commnuity this morning.
I picked up the theme of competitiveness and grace as the main narration and message.
Competitiveness has been always positive. Otherwise, we tend to underwork and underperform our inherent ability. Many do unfortunately.

【有子初長成🌱】As the Little One grows
我在八月尾為這位在新加坡的中國客人批她的八字，之後在九月尾為她的三歲兒子批八字。
事後，這位分析能力極強的女客人寫了一封感謝函給我。
我很喜歡為小孩批八字。有些父母認為孩子太小不宜批八字。對我而言，孩子一滿歲就該批了。
如此，父母能提早規劃他們的未來，引導他們往對的方向發展。小孩的潛能、喜好和習性也能從八字裡窺探個究竟，而無需靠誤打誤撞或東敲西打，省心又省力。
某次，在批一位少年的八字時，我說少年的頭髮對他很重要，切勿剪得太短。那位爸爸才驚呼，難怪之前硬硬把孩子的頭髮剪得很短時，孩子至今依然氣爸爸，不再讓爸爸碰他的頭髮。
如果早點知道這些點滴的竅門，父母便能深入了解孩子的心態，給他一個更快樂的童年，而不會執意用強硬的手段，讓孩子蒙上陰影，間接破壞了親子關係。
據寫這感謝函的客人表示，孩子一個月前剛轉校。媽媽以為需要幾個月的時間，孩子才能適應。但在這兩個星期裡，他們夫妻倆照著我的指示，換了孩子的小床、部份的日用品和穿著後，本來慢熱的孩子在學校的話越來越多，和其他小朋友交流時，也更顯熱情了。
這只是個開端而已。當這對父母能持續做下去時，他們必會看到一個更陽光，更健康成長的愛心大男孩！

I met this client from China towards the end of August for a Bazi Analysis, followed by another one with the same client. This time it was for her child. After that session, this client of mine, who has a strong analytical mind, wrote me a thank you email.
I take special liking in doing Bazi Analysis for children. Some parents feel it is inappropriate to analyse the Bazi if the child is too young. In my opinion, you ought to get it done as soon as the child turns one.
Doing so allows you to do early planning for the child’s future and guiding them on the right developmental path. A child’s potential, likings and tendencies can be decoded from his Bazi, saving you time and effort going in circles in the blind.
There was one occasion when I was analysing a teenager’s Bazi. I told the father not to cut his son’s hair too short as his hair was important to him. The father was shocked and recounted the time he forcefully cut his child’s hair to a very short length. His child is still angry with him till today and refuses to let him touch his hair.
If you had known earlier these little intricacies, you as a parent would be able to better understand the mentality of your child, giving him or her happier growing up years rather than resorting to high-handed ways and indirectly straining the parent-child relationship.
The client who wrote this thank you email told me that her child got transferred to a new school in end August. She thought the child would need a few months to acclimatise. In the past 2 weeks, both parents took my advice and changed the child’s little bed, clothing and other daily necessities. The shy boy began to open up and became more chatty and friendly in his interactions with other children.
This is only the beginning. If the parents persevere, they will see their son transform into a bright, healthy and loving boy!
*************************
Testimonial translated:
Amitabha, hello, Teacher Ji Qian. Having seen you twice, on 31 Aug for my Bazi analysis, and 24 Sep together with my husband for my child’s Bazi analysis, I am extremely grateful for the extra time you have given us on both occasions. My heart ached that you had to go with little food the entire session. My gratitude to you for the patience and detailed advice. I am delighted to hear you speak the Dharma including the Law of Karma and other principles, wishing that I could hear them more often from you. I am always ready with my little stool, eagerly anticipating your new videos. I hope I can still book you again to hear your teachings and advice, for they are especially motivating for me! Haha~
Your analysis were very accurate, about many things in my life and my child’s. For example, my child is especially clingy to me, his acute sense of colours, his inability to express his feelings, his slow reactions with his limbs and speech, even something as minute as his penchant for looking in the mirror! This is truly amazing! You said that this child will have benefactors of maternal nature, so you must be his first one helping him to guide his first-time and often unaware parents with detailed advice. We will work hard to follow your instructions to the tee, to help him shine during his peak cycles and motivate him to persevere during his down time.
Meeting you is my great fortune. Your divination of my luck cycles, including the year I came to Singapore, was very accurate. I also understood the reason for my dwindling motivation towards my R&D work which I am proficient in and my tendency to give up on things I initially started with keen interest. Of course you pointed out my positive traits, and now I understand why my friends like to hear me speak and why my analytical nature. You have such ability to decipher such great amount of information from seemingly simple Bazi characters. My greatest struggle comes when my desire to go for Lasik surgery was met with my husband’s objection. He was worried about the after-effects of such surgery. But I told him Teacher Ji Qian said I can do it, thus he relented. So now I must strike when the iron is hot and quickly book an appointment! Haha! I have great faith in your divinations on my future years and I look forward to changing the negatives in my life. I hope to get more advice from you if we meet the next time (Of course your Youtube channel is fantastic but I enjoy more to see you live in person. I am your super fan, although a low-profile one)
One more thing to add, your husband is commendable, always accompanying you. It’s heart warming. I wish the both of you everlasting bliss!
Love you much, hand hearts from many angles.
Wishing you and your family auspiciousness at all times.
Regards,
Wenya
The 25 minute speech I gave at the 2017 PMI Congress ;) 22nd November 2017, in Ocean Park Hong Kong. I believe recognizing an athlete's achievements is just as important as knowing the story behind them. That's why I spent a lot of time preparing for this speech because I hope to share my most honest words/unique experiences & how this past few months have changed my perspective. Hope you all enjoy it!!! LIKE & SUBSCRIBE
Unfortunately I have missed Olympic trials because of my ankle injury, I felt defeated because Olympics was my dream, just like every other athlete's dream to compete at the highest level of their sport, & I was only one step away. My world seemed to have collapsed, but during my recovery I have learned to change my views on becoming more positive. I have been back to skating recently & feel great to do what I love again?Gliding through the ice I am home again. It has been a tough few months, but after fighting through it, I am thankful for my life, all the experiences & opportunities giving me a chance to learn something new everyday. Pressure is pleasure, it is all about how to view your life. MAY YOU CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS, BY THE WAY YOU VIEW YOUR WORLD!!!!

5 FAMOUS WESTERN CELEBRITIES WHO CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK CHINESE
Not so impressive if we made a video on '5 Chinese Celebrities Who Can Speak English', but thanks to the double standards in our world, Western celebrities who speak Chinese are way more interesting to talk about!
But to be fair, they are rare and few between. It's just not common. However, I've found 5 celebrities who have this language ability.
1. John Cena
- Legendary WWE wrestler who has recently transitioned into hilarious movie roles
- Even if you don't know wrestling, you may have seen his John Cena meme.
- Spoke Chinese in Trainwreck (2015) and some WWE promos
- Gave a 2 minute speech in Chinese to promote WWE's new deal with Chinese PPTV network, shocking everyone.
2. Mira Sorvino
- American actress who won academy award & golden globe for best supporting actress.
- Starred in some AMWF lead movies such as The Replacement Killers with Chow Yun Fat.
- Majored in East Asian Studies at Harvard University
- Did an exchange in Beijing, China where she got fluent.
3. Kevin Rudd
- Not Paul Rudd....
- Former Prime Minister of Australia, twice
- The most fluent in Mandarin Chinese on our list.
INTERMISSION
- Conan O'Brien & Hugh Jackman sing a song in Chinese!
4. Vanessa Branch
- Blonde British actress
- Spoke Chinese in Entourage & Suburban Girl
- Also been in Pirates of the Caribbean
- Majored in Chinese
- Perhaps surprising because of her stereotypical blonde appearance?
5. Mark Zuckerberg
- Co-founder of Facebook
- 6th richest man in the world
- Has a Chinese wife so it actually makes sense he speaks Chinese
- Surprised everyone at a Q&A in a Chinese university where he spoke Mandarin for an hour.
