It's funny that I like "Sideways" very much cause I understand it. Relationship doesn't end with breakup/divorce; it ends with another relationship/marriage. it was not until he drank that precious Chateau Cheval Blanc in a plastic bottle that did Miles finally stop glorifying the marriage, look at it down-to-the-earth and move on. We've been educated since childhood about how marriage is holy and the prince and princess lives "happily ever after". Unfortunately that's just a benevolent glorification of the real world. I'm not saying glorification is bad; I'm saying it's addictive and should be stopped at some point. In fact I'm a pessimistic person and I should do more glorification of my oridinary life to cheer me up. But somehow I see people do it too much - well, which instantly proves I'm not only pessimistic but also cynical. Ok, I'll stop it.
As many people point out, it takes perseverance, patience and pain to set up Chinese support in LaTeX . So after I took the pain to do it, following these two great tutorials (TeXLive users take note: DO follow instruction 4.b .), I thought I should use it more. Here it is: the bilingual pdf version of the " Analects of Confucius"(《论语》), or "Confucian Analects", translated by James Legge and typeset by me. Many thanks to Project Gutenberg for the original plain text version!
