人生只有"四.十"天, based on these two pivotal numbers: 4 x (12-2), both 四 and 十 are homonym of si/die. What a pity I wasted so much time on trivial matters, sometimes caused by connected with mean people, trash stocks.
Only relief is that I can tell words, like what are the secret of these two words: pity vs. pivot. If I were asked if I am willing to exchange my situation with that of others like xl MM or moon girl, I will say no because it worths. At this point, I feel fortunate.
人生只有四十天, suppose it is my "Huai Hai Campaign"...

Moving the Enemy∶Operational Art in the Chinese PLA’s Huai Hai Campaign
善战者致人∶中国人民解放军在淮海战役中的战役法
Introduction
Those who excel in war move the enemy and are not moved by the enemy.
—Sunzi, the Art of War
故善战者，致人而不致于人。
——孙子兵法∶虚实第六（1）
Forcing the enemy to react is the essence of seizing and retaining the initiative.
—FM 3-0, Operations, 2001
迫使敌军做出（利于我军的）反应是（我军实行）抓住并保持（战争）主动权（的行为）的精髓之所在
——FM 3-0, Operations, 2001版
（注∶FM3-0即战场守则3-0,是美军最重要的两本军事条例之一，另一本是FM1-0。美军是用“doctrinal-教义”来形容该书的。其主要面向美军中高层领导人、负责大规模的军事行动以及为此类作战指挥官提供支援的少校以及少校以上军官。本书亦 用于军队的文职领导。）
Significance of the Huai Hai Campaign
淮海战役的意义
Among the numerous wars of the 20th century, one of the largest and most significant was the Chinese civil war of 1946-1949 fought between the armies of the Nationalist government of China led by President Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai-shek) and Communist armies under the leadership of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Chairman Mao Zedong (Mao Tse-tung).1
在20世纪的无数场战争里，最大同时也是最重要的战争之一就是由常凯申(Chiang Kai-shek)领导的国民党军与太祖(Mao Tse-tung)领导下的中国共产党军队于1946-1949年举行的中国内战。
During this war, military forces numbering in the millions fought across the vast space of China in a struggle that ended with the Nationalist government taking refuge on the island province of Taiwan and the Communists establishing the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on 1 October 1949.
在战争期间，双方军事力量在广大的中华大地进行了无数次的殊死搏斗，并以国府转进台湾省（注意∶这里是Province of Taiwan），共产党于1949年10月1日建立中华人民共和国为结束。
For China this meant a radical new direction in economic, political, and social development. Externally, the result was a major alteration of world power bloc equations and new challenges for US policymakers.
对于中国而言，这意味着在经济、政治以及社会发展方向上的一个彻底改变。对于世界而言，这是世界力量平衡的一次重大的改变，也是对美国政策制定者的新的挑战
