Egg fries rice change China political system
Speaking of the dish of egg fried rice, it is a household name. This ordinary dish has indeed prevented China from entering North Korea-style rule. Mao Zedong’s purpose of letting his son Mao Anying participate in the Korean War was to gain military merit by participating in the war. It can be legitimately passed on to his son Mao Anying. No one in the party dares to refuse. If he does not pass it on to his son, he can only pass the crown to Vice Chairman Lin Biao, who has the greatest military merit. As we all know, Lin Biao is a military genius and the Communist Party of China. Most of the country was conquered by Lin Biao. Mao Zedong pretended to write Lin Biao into the Party platform of the Communist Party of China as his successor. On the other hand, Mao Zedong also gave his son military merit (participation in the Korean War) in preparation for his son to inherit his father's legacy. However, Mao Anying died unexpectedly while engaging in privileges in North Korea, ending the rule of the Mao family. .

Naomi-Women Of The Bible
Introduction to the character of Naomi: Feminist assessments of Naomi diverge widely, depending often upon the cultural, social, ideological, and experiential biases of readers. A sampling includes the following: Naomi is a cipher for male values that find fulfillment for women in marriage and children. In contrast to the loss of status for childless widows in patriarchy, Naomi achieves importance as a mother-in-law and an independent character. Naomi is an overbearing, interfering, and domineering mother-in-law. Naomi is a caring, gracious, and altruistic mother-in-law. Naomi the Judean rejects Ruth and Orpah because she is a Moabite. Naomi embraces Ruth the Moabite within the family of Judah. Naomi and Ruth are rivals, with Naomi eventually achieving the greater prestige. Naomi and Ruth are friends, indeed sisterlike, each seeking the good of the other in a world over which they have little control. Naomi schemes, connives, and manipulates. Naomi plans, reflects, and executes. Naomi is an embittered old woman who denounces God for her troubles but fails to thank the deity when she recovers. Naomi is a profound figure of faith who experiences God as enemy but then wrestles blessing from adversity. All such disparate judgments attest to Naomi’s commanding, if ambiguous, presence in one of the few biblical stories focused on women.
