Why We Are Moved by a Liar and imposter

A Liar and Imposter for 18 Years

How Nanzhi's Countless Lies Touched Millions of Hearts

For 18 years, Xie Nanzhi lived a lie.

She forged letters.

She imitated another person's handwriting.

She sent money under a dead man's name.

By every legal and social definition, she was an imposter.

Yet millions of people around the world were moved to tears by her story.

Why?

Because not all lies are born from selfishness.

Some are born from love.

After Zheng Musheng died unexpectedly, Nanzhi faced an impossible choice.

Tell his wife, Ye Shurou, the heartbreaking truth and watch her world collapse.

Or quietly carry a burden that was never hers.

She chose the second.

For nearly two decades, she became Musheng.

Every letter she wrote.

Every dollar she earned and sent.

Every sacrifice she made.

Was not for herself.

It was for another woman she had never even met.

That is why Nanzhi's story is not really about lying.

It is about Love Intelligence.

Love Intelligence is knowing that doing the right thing is not always the easiest thing.

Sometimes it requires extraordinary Care—to feel another person's pain as your own.

Sometimes it requires immense Courage—to carry a secret and bear the misunderstanding of others.

And sometimes it requires deep Connection—to place another person's hope above your own comfort.

Nanzhi's lies were never meant to deceive for personal gain.

They were acts of compassion.

Acts of sacrifice.

Acts of Qing Yi.

In the end, the world did not remember her as a liar.

It remembered her as a woman whose love was so great that she gave away eighteen years of her own identity so that another person could continue living with hope.

That is the paradox of Dear You.

Sometimes the greatest truth is revealed through a lie.

And sometimes the greatest measure of a person is not whether they always told the truth,

but whether they always chose love.

That is the enduring power of Love Intelligence.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
