Confucius said: the posterity is awesome, how can we know that the newcomer is not now forty or fifty and unheard of, and there is no need to be afraid.

In spring, stagnant rotten plants come back to life. They stretch out branches from their decline, and the green leaves seem to be the nobility, vitality, beauty, sadness and stupidity of human youth. Plant life seems to be a God-given rare talent in spring, injecting the initial essence into the long-term green life and unique temperament.
In spring, plants stretch out in an unexpected way, and the open world is their field, allowing their tender tentacles to spread energy wantonly. The energy filled in plants in spring has never been concerned about the rules set out by history and customs, which itself is the whole universe.
Spring plants do not have the chaotic atmosphere of their later years, and they are not aware of their weakness and ignorance, which is why they have a strong body. Who can say that our youth is not like this?
When we grow old, we realize how pure the spirit is in youth, how noble the mind is, and how energetic it is; it can be self-centered without scruples and unscrupulous, despising all things in the world. If Genghis Khan built a broad empire, then it can be said that youth has enabled us to build the order of the whole universe.
When our delicate body begins to grow, our spirit has already grown into a mixed circle. It is not as childish and immature as the standard reply of adults, nor is it slowly nurtured later as people understand. We all misunderstand that the spirit sprouts a long time earlier than we thought. It is something that human beings gradually lack when they mature.
In our youth, we conceived a small idea in the contempt of the group. It runs counter to what parents, teachers and society expect of us. That makes us look stupid, and indeed stupid. Because our thoughts are too simple, every idea is so simple and incomplete that even later you will laugh at the previous you.
But we cling to pure desire, thought and spirit in stupidity and simplicity, and we can't underestimate it. There may be a power to shake the world in such incompleteness. If you take a look at the young Einstein and the many geniuses, you can see that this energy is waiting to explode in silence.
When our bodies stink in the turbid world, we find that the burning heart beats from an insignificant thought when we are young, from stupidity, madness, purity and paranoia. It has long planted the future power in the youth with loneliness and sadness. The reason why youth is sad is as easy to understand as plants have to face friction and expand their delicate leaves when they stretch their branches and leaves.
After our body leaves youth, its shoulders are wider and its footsteps are stronger, and it is becoming more and more aware of the rules of the crowd. But there is a flame hidden in the shell, it is warm, distant, hiding passion in the crowd, it guides hands and feet in silence, reveals vitality in subtle ways in human affairs, and quietly displays its talents in helplessness, conflict, and vulgarity.
When we come to the grave year, to the last moment of life, we still have to pat our hearts and feel the divine roots that youth has planted for us. Can our youth be like this: in the flow of the later stages of life, we do not feel sorry that it is the source of our lifetime wealth.

Chinese Planetary Engineering: The Great Green Wall and the Reclamation of Climate
There are junctures in history where a civilization no longer chooses between comfort and progress, but between adaptation and extinction. At the dawn of the new millennium, China hit one of those silent thresholds where geography ceases to be a backdrop and becomes an adversary. The desert was advancing, not as a metaphor for decay, but as a physical, methodical, and relentless force. Sand was devouring the horizon, winds grew heavy with dust, and the soil lost its fertile memory, taking with it the promise of social stability.

US Warns Airlines About Military Activity in Parts of Latin America
Commercial aviation is built on predictability—clearly defined airspace, coordinated air traffic control, and shared international rules. When that predictability is disrupted, even subtly, the ripple effects can stretch far beyond the cockpit. That is exactly why a recent warning from the United States has caught the attention of airlines, governments, and travelers alike. In early 2026, US aviation authorities issued an advisory warning airlines about military activity in parts of Latin America, urging pilots to exercise heightened caution when flying over certain regions. While no immediate restrictions or flight bans were imposed, the message itself was clear: something in the skies has changed, and the risks—however limited—can no longer be ignored. This development is not just about aviation safety. It reflects a growing intersection between geopolitics, military operations, and civilian infrastructure in a region that has long balanced cooperation with tension. What Exactly Did the US Warn About? The advisory, released through official aviation safety channels, highlighted concerns over potential military activity affecting airspace across parts of Mexico, Central America, South America, and nearby oceanic regions. Airlines were advised to remain vigilant during all phases of flight, including cruising at high altitudes, takeoff, and landing. Unlike routine notices related to weather systems or airport congestion, this warning explicitly referenced security-related risks. These include the possibility of unexpected military movements, temporary airspace disruptions, and interference with navigation systems that modern aircraft rely on for safe operations. Importantly, the warning did not accuse any specific country of wrongdoing, nor did it suggest an immediate danger to passengers. Instead, it served as a precaution—one designed to ensure airlines adjust flight planning, monitoring, and communication protocols accordingly. Why Military Activity Matters to Civil Aviation To the average traveler, military exercises or operations may seem distant from the experience of flying on a commercial jet. In reality, the two worlds often share the same skies. Civilian aircraft depend heavily on satellite navigation, coordinated air traffic control, and stable airspace rules. Military operations—especially those involving fast-moving aircraft, surveillance systems, or electronic equipment—can introduce uncertainty into that environment. Some of the key risks aviation authorities monitor include: Unplanned military aircraft movements that may not follow civilian flight patterns Temporary airspace closures or restrictions that require last-minute rerouting Navigation signal disruptions, whether accidental or intentional Increased congestion in strategic corridors used by both civilian and military flights While these risks are typically managed through coordination and communication, heightened military activity raises the stakes. The FAA’s advisory suggests that such activity has reached a level where additional caution is warranted. The Geopolitical Context Behind the Warning The timing of the advisory is not accidental. Latin America has seen a noticeable rise in security operations and military coordination involving the United States over the past year. These efforts are largely focused on counter-narcotics missions, maritime security, and regional stability, particularly in areas with strategic shipping routes or ongoing political tension. At the same time, broader global dynamics—ranging from great-power competition to shifting alliances—have increased the strategic importance of air and sea routes across the Western Hemisphere. From Washington’s perspective, issuing an aviation warning is not about alarmism. It is about acknowledging that military and security activities in the region may temporarily affect civilian systems, including aviation. How Airlines Are Responding For airlines, advisories like this are not unusual—but they are taken seriously. Most major carriers already operate with layered safety systems that allow them to respond quickly to changing conditions. In practical terms, this warning may lead to: Slight route adjustments to avoid specific airspace Enhanced pilot briefings before flights Increased coordination with air traffic controllers Closer monitoring of navigation and communication systems So far, there have been no widespread flight cancellations or suspensions linked directly to the warning. That suggests airlines view the risk as manageable, provided proper precautions are followed. Reactions from Latin American Governments Some governments in the region have been quick to reassure the public. Officials have emphasized that their national airspace remains safe and fully operational, and that civilian flights continue without disruption. This response highlights an important tension: while the US warning is precautionary, it can still affect public perception. Tourism, business travel, and investor confidence are all sensitive to suggestions of instability—even when no immediate danger exists. As a result, many countries are walking a careful line between cooperating on aviation safety and defending their reputation for stability. What This Means for Passengers For travelers, the key takeaway is simple: commercial aviation remains safe. Warnings like this are designed to prevent incidents, not predict them. Passengers flying through or over affected regions may experience slightly longer flight times or minor schedule adjustments, but there is no indication of increased danger to civilian aircraft. In fact, the existence of such advisories demonstrates how seriously aviation authorities take even low-probability risks. A Sign of a More Complex World The US warning to airlines is a reminder that modern air travel does not exist in a vacuum. As military operations, security concerns, and geopolitical rivalries evolve, civilian systems—from shipping lanes to flight paths—are increasingly affected. This moment underscores a broader reality: the skies are becoming more crowded, more contested, and more interconnected with global politics. Managing that complexity will require continued transparency, cooperation, and vigilance from governments, regulators, and airlines alike. For now, planes continue to fly, passengers continue to travel, and the system continues to work. But behind the scenes, aviation authorities are quietly adjusting to a world where safety is shaped not just by weather and mechanics—but by geopolitics as well.
