It can be an interesting fact for Non-Chinese speakers or even for the Chinese themselves, as I believe and as it seems. Almost all of us think that Sun’s last name is Tzu, but the truth it is not. Sun’s real name is Sun Wu and Tzu is just an honorific particle name that was given to him, as it is believed that he deserves it and I personally believe that too. Tzu in Chinese means “Master” and someone who is a extremely appreciated, respected, accomplished and skillful person in any field that would usually be given as a title to them after their death. I believe that Sun Tzu really deserves this title, and let us say that if there is an election for “The book of the semester”, I will definitely choose his book The Art of War, between the 7

The murder of Hae Min Lee was a mind twisting case. When listening to the podcast, you are left to wonder about who is guilty and who is innocent. With all of the evidence in this case, I am left to believe Adnan Syed is innocent. There are many facts that lead people to believe that he is guilty. However, some of the evidence doesn’t line up. Adnan has an alibi, the crime doesn’t fit the time frame that he had, and Jay had inconsistencies in his stories about Adnan, so the question is was he actually telling the truth. Adnan doesn’t remember very much about the day of Hae’s murder, and if he actually did commit the crime, you would remember that day perfectly.

Adnan and Hae just broke up so he would be an easy suspect because he would know her schedule best and he would know how to hide it. Her body was left in Leakin park Mr.S found her body a while after being missing for a week and called 911 . I feel Adnan Syed is innocent in all of the cases against Adnan there is a missing piece to all of the stories.

This motive seems as though he had no other reason for killing her, it is just that two unfortunate events happened so close the motive seems
