Contrast between old master (famous since the Chairman Mao era) and a new talent (child of the Internet/streaming media age).
Same ancient piece, “Ambush from All Sides”（十面埋伏）, a signature repertoire for the pipa, long a popular concert and competition workhorse.

Be sure to see the part where a liquid nitrogen cooled steel ball is pressed again the 2010 armor. Very dramatic ending!

Nice. I wonder how much of that was improvised on the spot.
I'll never understand people like that - they speak a different language than I do.

There's a couple of jazz pianists I really enjoy listening to talking (and playing) about jazz on a podcast called 'You'll Hear It', on YouTube. There's quite a bit of chat, but some real golden nuggets in there, and they go some way to describing the language and the tricks and techniques. Quite a lot of it is totally beyond me, but I still like watching.

The technology improvement is interesting, but also sad.
I am sure that there are weapon designers out there looking at super-cooled ammunition to use against armor.
(BTW, they were lucky no one was injured or hurt)

A very simple idea, all biodegradable, seems to have large potential.
Many times the narration oversells the idea, try to overlook that. -

Watching this during a meeting (shhh) so had the video off. How is this an improvement over just dropping seeds?

Go for it, I say. Go for it, lad. Not sure how it will work unless nice soft soil, but hey, maybe it will work better than nature with birds, rodents, etc.

I have always been curious about how one manufactures those "a solid object inside a solid frame" trinkets where it appears that the solid object inside should have been impossible to fit inside the frame. Now that I have watched this video ...
Link to video... I am still not sure how such trinkets are made. :man-shrugging:

They take a solid block of wood, then remove the wood that isn't the captive ball in sphere.

Just something that I never thought about, thus interesting for me to see how it can be done.
