Wang Can
Wang Can (Chinese: 王粲; 177–217),courtesy name Zhongxuan, was a politician, scholar and poet who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He contributed greatly to the establishment of laws and standards during the founding days of the vassal kingdom of Wei – the forerunner of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period – under Cao Cao. For his literary achievements, Wang Can was ranked among the Seven Scholars of Jian'an (建安七子).
Wang Can was also renowned for his eidetic memory. Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms described an incident where Wang Can was watching a game of weiqi. Someone accidentally knocked into the board and scattered the pieces. Wang Can then placed the pieces back to their original positions based on memory.
Life
A local of Guangping Commandery (present-day Zou County, Shandong), Wang Can was born into a family of high-ranking bureaucrats, the son of Wang Qian (王謙). His great-grandfather, Wang Gong (王龔), and grandfather, Wang Chang (王暢), were among the Three Excellencies under Emperor Shun and Emperor Ling respectively.

One Week Gone
by: One Week GoneI don't want to be seen
The guy with no self esteem
All the dreams of getting far
All the nights with an acoustic guitar
A Place that's build up on steel
A search for something that's real
Leave all the things that I've done
And look for somewhere to run
When will I find a place, a place to call my own
When will I take a stand, life goes on and on and on
How can I go somewhere, I've never gone before
And will I feel you there, will I feel you there
Growing up is a pain in the ass
Not free, scool burns like tear gas
All the girls act the same
But who the fuck should we blame?
I'm young fucked up and scared
Got no job I don't care
This system ain't got my trust
I'm trying but I get lost
When will I find a place, a place to call my own
When will I take a stand, life goes on and on and on
How can I go somewhere, I've nevere gone before
And will I feel you there, will I feel you there, will I feel you there
When will I find a place, a place to call my own
When will I take a stand, life goes on and on and on
How can I go somewhere, I've nevere gone before
