MARKING AS BRAINIEST! LAST ATTEMPT!

Find two quotes and explain what they mean

The quotes in paragraphs 8, and 10 must have something to do with meditation.

Explanation: I'm guessing the teacher was doing a little meditation session with his class. As it's said in paragraph 10, "It's just a way to focus [your] mind". The class must've gone through a bit of trouble or were just chaotic, so the teacher, along with them, meditated to ease their minds.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
