The word ¡°Hellene¡± reminds me of alkene, and the discussion, my college buddy.
There is very little doubt this guy was smart and creative. He concocted a very interesting theory, the Theory of Niu. Niu is a Chinese character he coined, with the Chinese character ¡°Beauty¡± on the left side and ¡°Ugliness¡± on the right. Niu, he explained, represents the basic aesthetic elements belying all forms of arts. According to the theory, an artistic creation is neither beautiful nor ugly, yet it embeds both ¡°beauty¡± and ¡°ugliness¡±. It is through the interaction of the reader with the art piece that ¡°beauty¡± and ¡°ugliness¡± was created. He spent months writing a book on the subject and sent his manuscript to the then famous ¡°Master of Aesthetics¡±, Prof. Li Zehou. After several months of anxious waiting and restless sleep, Li¡¯s reply letter finally came. Prof. Li commended him on his interests in aesthetics and kindly admonished him that young students should focus on their school work and major study. To apply Master Li¡¯s teachings would mean that my Niust friend would have to forget about his beloved theory and remain devoted to Chemistry and nothing else. My friend, understandably, was disappointed yet unfazed.
However, believe it or not, Prof. Li¡¯s advice obviously worked like a charm. Soon after that, I saw with my own eyes chemistry at work in him. As I walked into his organic chemistry laboratory one day, I bumped into him fervently working--not on the bench, but on his girl friend. I personally was not extremely impressed with the appearance of his girl friend, a petty-sized young lady. Her look at best could only be described as ¡°Niu-ish¡±, to borrow his theoretical framework. I suspect that her appeal to him involved the sheer force of chemistry, yet very little Niu-ic interactions. But to go back to the story on Niuism, clearly, Prof. Li thus had successfully eliminated a potential arch rival in the field.
Although my friend went out of graduate school to work in some institute of philosophy, in an area totally unrelated to chemistry, his Theory of Niu was never heard of again. I¡¯m probably the only one in this world who still remembers, and occasionally applies, the theory. But I will always remember him with kind feelings, along with his Niu-ish friend, later his Niu-ish wife.*

The word Hellene refers to ancient Greek, though it's tempting to guess it has something to do with that famous beauty. :)
Your friend's theory is interesting, in fact, he makes some senses too. When ugliness in reality is expressed through art it acquires a certain aesthetic power. Art itself is not subject to the reign of morality applied in real life. Another interesting thing is, how did your friend come up with that funky pronunciation Niu for he made-up character? :)
Li Zehou was my favorite read in colledge. I still has his three books on the history of Chinese philosophy. Haven't heard of him much in recent years though. - posted on 01/02/2004
The Niuist, also nick-named Big Head, was great at abstract thinking. Also, sometimes he could intuit a correct solution for a complicated problem. However, he may not be able to articulate the reasoning behind that. He coined that interesting character, Niu, and made it so sound after the character “niu” (the Chinese slang for girls), presumably because the formation of these two characters are similar. They both have a two-part left-and-right structure and share the part “ugliness”. Alternatively, one would think it could be pronounced either “miu” (similar to the pronunciation of “niu”, which takes ‘n’ from ‘nv’ and ‘iu’ from ‘chou’) or ‘chei’ (taking ‘ch’ from ‘chou’ and ‘ei’ from ‘mei’). But neither would sound better than ‘niu’ and I’m not even sure whether there is anything that reads like ‘chei’ in the Chinese.
As my memory serves me right, he also wrote several short stories and but never managed to publish them. These stories also partially embodied and illustrated his aesthetic theory. One of them was about a romance involving an art major college student and a girl who had a lot of positive or mei Niu elements. I don’t remember any further details because I also finished the first couple of pages of the story. I didn’t like reading (or deciphering) people’s handwritings, even if they were neatly written on paper with light green square grids. I may be guilty, by failing to reading, remember and spread these stories, of being part of the world that is always conspiring to ignore, if not quell, the weak yet distinct voice of a genius.
By now Big Head should already have a Small Head by now. He might attest the truth of Maya’s theory that marriage drains one’s creative libido and the spouse tolls the knell of a philosopher. I have not heard from him for many years. Hopefully, he is still as interesting a person as he was and that Theory of Niu is not the best theory he’s proposed. But even if he is now just an average person in the streets, I wouldn’t blame Big Head for having Small Head. After all, isn't it true that two heads are better than one? :-)
