“Returning from the missions on which Kublai sent him, the ingenious foreigner improvised pantomimes that the sovereign had to interpret: one city was depicted by the leap of a fish sacaping the cormorant’s beak... another city by a naked man running through fire... a third by a skull, its teeth... clenching a round, white pearl. The Great Khan deciphered the signs, ... But, obscure or obvious...,
everything Marco displayed had the power of emblems, which, once seen, cannot be forgotten or confused.”

把更多的费用花在倡导健康生活和普及卫生常识上，就会节省下巨额的医疗开支。
