The district is located on the western side of the Huairou district where I am living now, and it is almost straight north of the Beijing city centre. I have paid several visits to this district for several reasons, and once I went there to buy some halal beef and mutton. And that time I explored the Changping New City Forest Park, which is very close to the city area and near the shop where I had to buy my meat. And I was shocked that this park is very busy with so many visitors and the activities that it provides, compared to many parks in the Beijing municipality. The forest park is a large park that is divided by a river and both side of the park is full of natural beauty. The greenery and the scenic views are so good in the surrounding area. There I found so many visitors as it was a weekend, and most of them were families with parents and children. Also, I saw a lot of young people roaming in the park, which gave the overall environment a very festive vibe. I have enjoyed these activities all around the park, and the festive vibes made this place an excellent tourist attraction. The children's park, the street shops with souvenirs, the breathtaking scenic spots and the natural beauty are really unparalleled in this park.
I always enjoy reading articles about Hassan, the most handsome man on the Indian subcontinent!😄 It was easier for American elementary school students to read Hassan's articles than to read those of Americans and Europeans!
Although I am East Asian and Hassan is from the Indian subcontinent, I thought we had similar sensibilities as Asians!
Since ancient times, East Asians have considered the people of the Indian subcontinent to be charming and wise!
Hassan has been living in Beijing, China for six years.
He has a keen interest in Chinese people and Chinese society, and has written many articles about them.
I was very intrigued by his discoveries and insights into the Chinese people and society!
I thought he had genius talent and passion! I have a lot to say to him, but my English conversation skills are lacking, so I am not successful! By the way, He is kind and generous in accepting my limited English speaking skills.
I'm always wondering what great English phrases I should give him. Reading the Changping New City Forest Park gave me a great idea!
Hassan wrote a wonderful article about his visit to the Changping New City Forest Park. I discovered he had photographed a young Chinese couple. I was amazed that Hassan had taken a photo of two young Chinese men and women from the park entrance!😳
Because it was summer, a young Chinese woman with long hair wore a white one-piece dress. I wondered why Hassan had taken notice of that young Chinese woman!
Looking at her slender back, do you think she is beautiful?😄
I felt she was definitely different from the women of the Indian subcontinent! Does Hassan feel the same way?😊
I wonder what Hassan imagined when he saw that Chinese woman!
I guess Hassan looked at that Chinese woman and thought of the woman he loved back home!😃
I guess Hassan missed his wife back home when he saw the young Chinese woman! I hope Hassan won't be offended if my guess is wrong!😅
Du Fu (Chinese: 杜甫; pinyin: Dù Fǔ; Wade–Giles: Tu Fu; 712–770)Du Fu (Chinese: 杜甫; pinyin: Dù Fǔ; Wade–Giles: Tu Fu; 712–770) was a Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty, known as the "Poet-Historian" and the "Poet-Sage". Together with Li Bai, Du is regarded as one of greatest poets in Chinese history.[1] Although he aspired to serve the state as a civil official, he never achieved political success. His life, like that of the Tang dynasty, was profoundly shaped by the An Lushan Rebellion, and his final years were marked by hardship and displacement. Nearly fifteen hundred of Du’s poems have survived, exerting a profound influence on both Chinese and Japanese literary traditions.[1]
Du Fu (Chinese: 杜甫; pinyin: Dù Fǔ; Wade–Giles: Tu Fu; 712–770) is considered the greatest literary figure and poet in Chinese history and is still revered in East Asian literary circles to this day.
He is especially famous for expressing human emotions of sadness, pain, and loneliness through poetry!
The times he lived in were times of war, so he and his family suffered from poverty, hunger, and disease.
In particular, the poem he left behind while worrying about his wife when he was captured by the enemy and at a crossroads of life and death is famous!
He composed this poem while looking at the moon shining at night, hence the title "Moonlight."
title月夜(moonlight) poet 杜甫
今夜鄜州月 My wife would be looking at the moon in 鄜州 right lone now.
閨中只獨看
遙憐小兒女 My poor children who live far away will never understand 未解憶長安 their mother who misses me in 長安.
香霧雲鬟濕 Her cloud-like hair will be soaked in fragrant mist, and 淸輝玉臂寒 her jade-like arms will be cold in the clear moonlight.
何時倚虛幌 When will two tear-stained faces meet under the evening
雙照淚痕乾 moonlight?
Du Fu was taken prisoner by the enemy and taken to a faraway land, where he wrote poetry while missing his family back home!
Even in the face of death, he never gave up hope of being reunited with his beloved family!
Does my friend Hassan think East Asian men are more delicate and feminine than men from the Indian subcontinent?😄
East Asian men, who are more delicate and feminine than their Indian counterparts, are shocked by the dynamism and power of Indian women!😲

The film Gangubai Kathiawadi is considered by East Asians to be a work of art about an Indian woman who has suffered the worst misfortune as a woman and overcomes her fate!
So, many East Asian men believe that the civilization of the Indian subcontinent was created by women!
Since ancient times, East Asians have considered women from the Indian subcontinent to be good marriage partners.
Hassan probably knows this better, but women in the Indian subcontinent were larger, stronger, and had more healthy children than women in East Asia.
There is a legend that the Korean kings who had mothers from the ancient Indian subcontinent were seven feet tall.
When East Asian men see women from the Indian subcontinent dancing and singing, they are amazed at how strong they are.😄
This is a secret I tell Hassan specifically: East Asian women, unlike Indian women, do not dance and sing as vigorously!😂 Because East Asian women are weaker than women from the Indian subcontinent!
There's a reason modern East Asian men enjoy the dances and songs of the women of the Indian subcontinent. When they see them dance and sing, they assume they're incredibly strong, capable of working, and having many children!
In ancient times, Chinese and Korean kings married Indian women and bore many large, healthy children. Therefore, even today, Indian women are considered excellent marriage partners.
In ancient times, Indian civilization was so advanced that East Asian civilization developed by importing Indian civilization.
A c. 1st century BCE / CE relief from Sanchi, showing Ashoka on his chariot, visiting the Ramagrama[1][2]Ashoka, also known as Asoka or Aśoka (/əˈʃoʊkə/[7] ə-SHOH-kə; Sanskrit: [ɐˈɕoːkɐ], IAST: Aśoka; c. 304 – 232 BCE), most commonly known as Ashoka the Great, was Emperor of Magadha[8] from c. 268 BCE until his death, and the third ruler from the Mauryan dynasty. His empire covered a large part of the Indian subcontinent, stretching from present-day Afghanistan in the west to present-day Bangladesh in the east, with its capital at Pataliputra. A patron of Buddhism, he is credited with an important role in the spread of Buddhism across ancient Asia. The Edicts of Ashoka state that during his eighth regnal year (c. 260 BCE), he conquered Kalinga after a brutal war. Ashoka subsequently devoted himself to the propagation of "dhamma" or righteous conduct, the major theme of the edicts. Ashoka's edicts suggest that a few years after the Kalinga War, he was gradually drawn towards Buddhism. The Buddhist legends credit Ashoka with establishing a large number of stupas, patronising the Third Buddhist council, supporting Buddhist missionaries, and making generous donations to the sangha. Ashoka's existence as a historical emperor had almost been forgotten, but since the decipherment in the 19th century of sources written in the Brahmi script, Ashoka holds a reputation as one of the greatest Indian emperors. The State Emblem of the modern Republic of India is an adaptation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka. Ashoka's wheel, the Ashoka Chakra, is adopted at the centre of the National Flag of India.
Ashoka is remembered by East Asian scholars as the greatest male figure of the Indian subcontinent. I thought that perhaps Hassan, being a Muslim, would not know much about Ashoka!
East Asian scholars called King Ashoka in Chinese as 阿育王. The Buddhism he spread to East Asia currently has the largest number of followers in East Asia.
I believe he spread Buddhism to East Asia through marriages between Indian women and East Asian men!
So, some East Asian men claimed that the Indian subcontinent was the mother of East Asia.
Could that be why modern East Asian men believe that women from the Indian subcontinent are the most beautiful in the world?
Many East Asian men wanted to marry a golden-eyed Indian woman.😄 Some East Asian men refer to the Indian subcontinent as the land of their wives or mothers.
The reason modern East Asian men respect the civilization of the Indian subcontinent is because of its women!
I think Hassan would also respect the woman he loves!😄
