Lao Tzu and Confucius lived in China at the Same Time and They Met Each Other. Lao Tzu Says: "Become One with Nature."

I love travel shows... especially Michael Wood's The Story of China and the Story of India... 

In China, A power struggle followed Mao's death in 1976. The Gang of Four were arrested and blamed for the excesses of the Cultural Revolution, marking the end of a turbulent political era in China. 

Deng Xiaoping outmaneuvered Mao's anointed successor chairman Hua Guofeng, and gradually emerged as the de facto leader over the next few years.

Deng Xiaoping was the Paramount Leader of China from 1978 to 1992, although he never became the head of the party or state, and his influence within the Party led the country to significant economic reforms. The CCP subsequently loosened governmental control over citizens' personal lives and the communes were disbanded with many peasants receiving multiple land leases, which greatly increased incentives and agricultural production. In addition, there were many free market areas opened. The most successful free market areas was Shenzhen. It is located in Guangdong and the property tax free area still exists today. This turn of events marked China's transition from a planned economy to a mixed economy with an increasingly open market environment, a system termed by some[67] as "market socialism", and officially by the CCP as "Socialism with Chinese characteristics". The PRC adopted its current constitution on 4 December 1982.

This TV Travel Show reminded me of the Forest Of Redwoods in Northern California...

There is a Fallen Down Log behind our home in Eureka, CA... I sat on that log for over a decade and smoked cigarettes... No smoking in the house, that would be rude... and unhealthy for my roommate who has asthma... So I went out back into the Redwood Forest... I GROK Becoming one with Nature.
I have a tree here in Orangevale... It's smaller and at the moment very thirsty but soon it will rain and the leaves will expand... I look at it every day...
