汤唯
近日，著名演员汤唯在参加某品牌活动时，讲述了一段自己改变命运的故事。其中涉及到少年时候想要出国学习语言遇阻，到成名后去英国学习英语以及和先生认识的奇妙缘分。据悉此次汤唯自己撰文，将自己过往的经历细细描述，希望和大家分享自己改写命运的故事和感悟，总结自己的人生理念。
原文如下：
大家好，我是汤唯。今天想借此和你们分享一些我的小故事。
我出生在一个艺术家庭，父亲是一位画家，母亲在我出生之前是一名越剧演员，之后也转入绘画学习。小时侯，我们的一切都是由父母来安排，因此顺理成章的，父母安排了我走画画这条路。但其实，我从小就有个愿望，就是会说很多种语言，方言、外语都行，所以每回看见那些在多种语言间很骄傲地自由转换的人就羡慕得不得了，总会偷偷地多欣赏一会儿。
我喜欢语言，掌握它，能和当地人聊天时，语言上的亲切感能让某些隔阂瞬间消失，能帮助你快速融入对方的文化，这种感觉真是妙不可言。
后来，记得是高中二年级，我在杭州报纸中缝里看到美国交换生的申请消息，千载难逢的好机会啊。于是我想也没想... 阅读全帖 |

中国文化讲，己所不欲，勿施于人。
西方文化讲，Winner takes all。
在中国文化，当我们考虑一个方案时，总考虑是否公平，
对方能否接受。
在西方文化，当他们考虑一个方案时，他们考虑的是
怎样谋求最大利益，而不会考虑是否公平，对方能否
接受。
因此，当我们和西方打交道时，必须知道这一点，
把他们打痛打惨，他们才会让步。
中国同情弱者，西方崇拜强者。

毛泽东在对美斗争中，明确地提出，敌人在战场上
得不到的东西，在谈判桌上也同样得不到。当美国
