Stephanie is likely someone who has a significant connection to the Madoff family. She may be a family member or someone very close to them who has knowledge of their secrets.
Her family members are often common characters. For example, her sisters might be there to offer support or have different reactions. Her parents could play a big role, like providing guidance or expressing disappointment at first. Also, her friends would likely be in the story, perhaps helping her through the tough times during pregnancy.
They are often filled with humor. Stephanie Plum is a character who gets into all kinds of comical situations, especially in her bounty hunting job. For example, in 'One for the Money', her first attempts at being a bounty hunter are just hilarious.
Darknorth Fisher was hinting that a person's vision was limited by their own ability, and that the reason why they couldn't understand others was because they weren't good enough. Through the comparison between the Kun Peng and the chicken, it showed that only by relying on one's own abilities and conditions could one reach a higher realm and vision. Darknorth Fisher wanted people to recognize their own abilities and limitations, not to judge the world with their own eyes, but to maintain a humble and open mind.
Longevity Dao Seed was a fantasy novel written by a whale fisherman. The story was about an immortal fake eunuch who was cultivating in the palace. In the novel, the sun and moon would fall, the heaven and earth would decay, and the sea would turn into mulberry fields, and the red powder would dry up the bones. The novel had been published up to chapter 237.
The story of the Fisher King often involves a wounded or cursed king whose land is barren until a hero comes to restore his health and fertility to the kingdom.
There is a fish in the North Sea called Kun. I don't know how big a kun is, but it's thousands of miles long. It turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.
At this time, the Kun Peng spread its wings and wanted to fly into the sky. So Chuang Tzu went fishing on the shore of the South Pacific Ocean. There were endless fish and endless rocs. Chuang Tzu caught a fish and sat down with him to discuss the Tao.
Chuang Tzu said,"Fish is what I want, bear's paw is what I want. You can't have both."
The fish in the North of the North are caught by Zhuangzi. Peng Zhuangzi of the South Pacific discussed Taoism with him. Fish and bear's paw Zhuangzi could choose to give up the fish and choose the bear's paw, but he did not choose because he believed that fish and bear's paw were not equivalent and could not be owned at the same time.
Zhuangzi's thinking tells us that there are many choices in life. We can choose to pursue material wealth or spiritual enjoyment, or both. But we can't be greedy, we can't chase after the fish and bear's paw at the same time, because this will cause us to lose ourselves and fall into a dilemma.
We have to learn to give up, not be too greedy, not let ourselves fall into a predicament that we can't extricate ourselves from.
The relationship can develop through a shared goal. For example, if there is a great evil threatening both their lands. They are forced to cooperate. At first, they might have different methods, but as they face challenges together, they begin to understand each other better. Maybe the Fisher King has a daughter and Merlin saves her life, which earns him the Fisher King's loyalty and friendship. Also, exchanges of stories about their pasts and their hopes for the future can deepen their bond.
