Lake Baikal Ten years ago BTV 7 had a program called Good Life for Every Week. Hosted by Zhu Zhou, a Columbia graduate with working experiences in the Wall Street Journal and the United Nations Geneva headquarter, the program taught people how to make good housekeeping and live a healthy and tasteful life. Apart from its enriched contents, what struck me most was its ouverture saying “Slow down the rushing and busy steps to enjoy the deliberation of life; quiet down the restless and anxious heart to savor the pleasure of life.” For a person who lived in the hustling bustling city of Beijing, I felt pale clouds in a cool breeze from these words. Today when I listened to the music of Lake Baikal, I was overwhelmed with the same feelings. Many years passed, but somewhere inside the heart pale clouds still float amid a cool breeze, no matter how life transits. Be it sunny or rainy, in the middle of a busy mundane life, let us stop for a while to listen to such music as Lake Baikal, as if we have no other demand in life but just a moment to savor the music without questioning where we are from and will go or how to live a better life. Life is just so simple, so simple that many forget. https://youtube/watch?v=PMvc2xtRN8Y&index=1&list=FLJxeT45V0-Rhm794F05r9Uw
