These chapters will be quite tiring to write. There is a constant battle between heaven and man in my mind. I don¡¯t know whether to write in detail or in short. If I write in detail, I am afraid that readers will find it verbose. If I write less, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain the tulip bubble. Please give me your opinion on the cause.
