The Royal Family is Obsolete
The royal family is obsolete. There. I said it. And this is coming from a die-hard Anglophile.

Its lingering presence is an offence to those who suffered cultural monopolization at the hands of British colonizers. Simply put, the British monarchy is an outdated institution that should have been dismantled ages ago.

His existing more than 600 poems are about politics, philosophy, feelings of friends and lovers, rural scenery, folk customs, daily life, reading experience, and the scope of subject matter, almost reaching the point where no matter, no intention, no words are allowed. Among them, the most interesting one is Man Tingfang, a poem written by him under the name of medicine. Meditation at night ",written to his long-lost wife, expresses his feelings of lovesickness:" The mica screen opens, the pearl curtain closes, and the wind blows away the agarwood. Leave the feeling depressed, the golden coat weaves the sulfur, the cypress shadows and the cassia twigs cross each other, calmly rise, and make a mercury pond. Even glancing over Pinellia ternata, it's cool through mint petticoats. A Uncaria last month, on an ordinary mountain night, dreamed of staying in the battlefield. She's already in pink, and she lives alone. If you want to continue to break the string, Aconitum white is the most Sophora flavescens merchant. Angelica, cornus ripe, old chrysanthemum yellow.
