Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and Tai Shan are well known with their Chinese names in Pin Yin. For details,visit www.rand.org, click on "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" and a copy in PDF format free of charge will pop out. Free education is the best deal for learning the Chinese language with built-in art and music.
"Zhu ben xu xin shi wo shi" is a motto because "xu xin" means "hollow heart" i.e. be modest as the way of life. I do remember such from my mother's constant sayings decades ago when I was a kid. That was in the 1930s and early 1940s.
Page A10 and EXPRESS paper page 1: -Forecast: Deficit to hit $1.6 trillion and to hit $9 trillion over 10 years!?
Prof. John Kenneth Galbraith is right !"There are those who don't know and those who don't know they don't know" for economic forecast.

On page A5: An Ad: National Math+ Science Initiative: How about linguistic science enabling US leadership in the global context for understanding foreign languages apropos of human communication?
www.Dictyon.net,the gateway to global languages,located in Greenbelt, Maryland in Metro Washington,D.C. to render such significance services for humanity.
If folks are aware of various ethnic and cultural sensitivities,learning a language would reach another horizon in the world in the name of globalization.
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao is ready and willing to learn languages when I meet folks who are able to speak another language on earth, I salute them for their talents that I do admire for better understanding of homosapiens. Needless to say,Sino-American economics do involve interpretations and translations plus transliterations for better understanding.
