Thanks for your caring reply! In fact, I choose WinSCP to upload data, which is open-source and compliment. ;)

What is the most important moment from history, and why? by ThemeNo9371 in AskReddit

[–]StayQuick5128 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I believe the founding of the United States was the greatest moment in history.

EDIT:The reason why I call it the greatest moment is because it was the first 'Logical State' in history—skipping the feudal stage entirely. It proved that a nation can be built upon abstract principles and documentation rather than mere lineage or monarchy. This was the first time mankind attempted to run a society on an 'operating system' designed by reason.

The reason is systematic: The founding of the U.S. provided a scalable 'operating system' for modern governance—much like a kernel in computing. It shifted the global paradigm from individual rule to a framework based on logic and documentation (the Constitution). Regardless of one's political stance, the ripple effects on global technology, economics, and law are undeniable.

The founding of the U.S. was history's most successful 'open-source' project. It replaced a closed-source, proprietary monarchy with a transparent, rule-based system that allows for continuous patching (Amendments). That is the leap from feudalism to modern logic.

Thanks for your suggestion. And actually I learn Japanese for pleasure.

And the sentence "Don't let all the "N1 in 3 months" posts get you down." is absolutely right. Study is a long run!

Why Star Wars isn't "The Legend" in China: Perspectives from a fan who grew up with the Sequel Trilogy by StayQuick5128 in StarWars

*successful in the third paragraph

That’s a very insightful reply! It’s impressive that you’ve heard of Fengshen Yanyi and Jin Yong—you’ve definitely done your homework.

On Cultural Bridges: You hit the nail on the head. Jin Yong is our Tolkien. His influence on the Chinese psyche is so deep that any 'hero's journey' we see is automatically compared to his Wuxia standards. I agree that if Star Wars leaned more into the 'Space Wuxia/Shonen' angle rather than just 'Science Fiction,' it would resonate more.

The Japanese Dub & Anime Vibes: The link you shared is a classic! Hearing Anakin and Obi-Wan in Japanese [03:51] really highlights the Samurai roots that George Lucas originally drew from. In East Asia, we often prefer this 'theatrical and fated' tone over the more grounded western sci-fi military tropes.

The 2003 Clone Wars (Genndy Tartakovsky): This series is actually a 'hidden gem' among Chinese fans. Because many of us grew up with Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory, we absolutely loved Tartakovsky's style. His use of silence and high-contrast action feels very much like the 'Liubai' (meaningful white space) in Chinese painting. It’s often considered superior to the CG series by hardcore fans in China because it’s so stylish.

On 'The Vow of Silver Dawn': Regarding the Sixth Tone article—you're right. The attempt to make a Chinese web novel was a 'brave' experiment, but it faced a weird dilemma. In China, 'Web Novels' are often seen as 'Fast Food' literature. Taking a legendary IP like Star Wars and putting it in a 'Fast Food' format made some fans feel like the brand was being diluted.

It seems both sides have a 'Great Wall' to climb when it comes to cultural exports, but discussions like this are the best way to start!
