Yes, think about it, what Ji Bolun said still makes sense: you have your thoughts, I have my thoughts; you have your way of living, I have my way of living. You go be a boss, make big money, I still happily keep to a peaceful life; you go write poetry and essays, I will study those insignificant little punctuation marks, you go…….

Shrimp have their way of living, crabs have their way of living. Each has its own way; you walk your sunny path, I walk my single-log bridge. Just like birds in the forest, flowers in the garden. A hundred birds contend in song, a hundred flowers contend in beauty. This is the world. If this world had only rich people and no poor people, who would support the rich? If this world had only good people and no evil people, how could goodness be shown? This world, this life――――

You have your thoughts, I have my thoughts. Your thoughts say――――beauties, ugly girls, money, stars, prostitutes……

My thought says―――every woman is every man's mother, every woman is every man's sister, every woman is every man's daughter.

Therefore, every man must respect every woman. Do not desecrate your mother, your sister, your daughter. Every

When a man utters the word 'woman', he should respect the word 'woman' as he respects his mother; also, as he protects his sister, he should protect the word 'woman'; and as he cherishes his daughter, he should cherish the word 'woman'.

Ji Dashiren says, you have your thoughts, I have my thoughts――――

Your thoughts say――――rich people, poor people, officials, big bosses, little commoners, migrant workers…….

My thought says――――apart from life, there are no rich people, no poor people, no officials, no big bosses, no little commoners, no migrant workers; in the face of life, everyone is equal.

Ji Dashiren says, you have your thoughts.

Your thought says――――money, money, this world besides money is still money; money I praise you, money I sing to you, money I think of you day and night, money I dream of you in my dreams, money I adore you, you are my life, you are my soul, in this world, without money I cannot live. I believe money can make ghosts push mills, no money is pushing mill ghosts.; I also believe that people die for money, birds die for food is truth, absolute truth. People come into this world, not for money, then why? Money, ah, money, ah, this world besides money is still money, money, money, money………….

And Ji Dashiren says, my thought――――my thought says: do not worry about life what to eat, what to drink, for the body worry about what to wear. Is life not more than food? Is the body not more than clothing?........

If you gain the whole world but lose your life, what do you have left?

Let's talk about that lofty Zhuangzi. When he was young, unaware of the heights, he spent all day indulging in fantasies. But he did not want to do concrete things for the world. As he grew older, he became poorer and poorer.

He relied on having a few drops of ink in his belly, thus he indulged in empty fantasies, drinking that 'ink in his belly'. For a short time it was tolerable, but as time went on, that ink fragrance turned bitter.

And there was 'bitterness', turning into a flavor of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy.

This is truly an embarrassing, hard-to-bear human state.

Maybe it was also summer? It rained heavily for many days straight, Zhuangzi couldn't go find work, nor could he go fishing by the river.

Zhuangzi, suffering from hunger and cold, felt dizzy from hunger. Moreover, the rain outside was still falling. Moreover, it might be heavier than the rain I heard tonight.

This person is food, iron is steel, not eating a meal of 'soft ding dang'. Really having no choice, Zhuangzi had to go out in the rain to borrow grain from friends to stave off hunger. As soon as he stepped out, the cold wind made the hungry Zhuangzi shiver.

Actually, it wasn't cold then; it was summer. The wealthy households still had air conditioning on (but I don't know if they had air conditioning back then; maybe they did, maybe not? I hope they did, because the earlier such luxuries appear, the sooner the wealthy can enjoy them. So, better to have it early, better to have it early. Good is done, done is good. Finished, finished. Why am I thinking again of the 'Hao' song from Dream of the Red Chamber? Reviewing is also good. Confucius said: 'Learning and practicing it from time to time, is it not delightful?' Since Confucius said reviewing is good, let's take this opportunity to review once more――――"All people say immortals are good, but only fame and rank are unforgettable! Where are the ancient and modern generals and ministers now?"

Is it a question mark! What does a question mark mean? So-called question mark, it is having doubt and asking?

This, Cao Xueqin, who is he asking? Is he asking himself and answering himself――――

The weeds on the grave mound are gone.

This, certainly is a question asked with doubt――――where did those emperors and generals who enjoyed all human wealth and glory, who wielded power and blessings, go?

This, not only Cao Xueqin is asking, but many people throughout history and across the world are also asking. Some ask concretely, some ask abstractly. First, let's give a concrete example. For instance, Tang dynasty poet Li Bai――――――

To know what the great Tang dynasty poet Li Bai asked, please listen to the following section……………
