"[R]emember the R.M.S Titanic's SOS distress call in 1912. What does
SOS really mean? - "Save Our Ship". Before the year 1912, ships at sea
used the Morse code distress signals "CQD", which means, 'Call To
Quarters - Danger!'"

Love, Jim

I can't read or speak Chinese, so my post refers only
to the English in the post that I am following up.
