Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.

Stand tall.

It must be done like lightning.

As an old Chinese saying goes, one may extend his vision by standing on high ground. That is, the higher one stands, the farther he can see. It is our sincere hope that the U.S. Government may stand on a higher plane and get a broader view on the issue of Taiwan. The high ground here is to maintain and develop the friendship between the Chinese and American peoples by respecting the feelings of the Chinese people.

Wait a few minutes, our lantern will be lit, and, if you like light places, you will be satisfied.

My sword leans against the sky.
With its polished blade I'll behead

Starting a novel is like standing in a field and waiting for lightning to strike.

Waiting from heaven for the spark to fall.

Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.

You can order the sun to come up if you time it right.

If I must fall, may it be from a high place.
