Man sagt: 'Gestern ist Geschichte, Morgen ist ein Mysterium, Heute ist ein Geschenk. Deshalb nennt man es die Gegenwart.'

[@Faceless.God.798]

In Russian it sounds like this: "Прошедшее - забыто. Грядущее - закрыто. Настоящее - даровано. Поэтому его и зовут настоящим." I always cry when I remember this beautiful cartoon ... oh, how I love the master Oogway.

[@miles3638]

Aww I love this, people commenting their own translations of the quote. It is a good one, though the word play on gift and present only really works in English unfortunately. As far as I know.

[@yuchongliu5951]

As a chinese person I can’t help to think back to my hometown when I hear this. My great-granddad played the Erhu for me when I was a small child. We would sit next to the fireplace in the chill evenings, he would play erhu and I would watch and listen. Sadly he isn’t with me anymore. Your style of playing really reminded me of him. Thank you 🙏

[@dr.happyfuntimes1214]

Your grandad was such a good person. He will always be with you. I miss my grandparents, too.

The erhu is such a beautiful instrument. It gives a much more melancholy feel than a violin, but it becomes even more melancholy when the two are mixed.

[@lizxu322]

Legend says the erhu was made from the bones, skin and hair of a faithful white horse that sacrificed itself to protect the owner he loved. When it was played it captured the sadness the owner felt for his horse
