Yes, in this world, nobody wants to live in vain, nobody can live in vain, nobody wishes to live in vain; everyone wants to say something to this world, do something, leave something.................................

If you can't do big things, do small things........................................

In short, do good deeds, do beneficial things.....................................

In short, do not do bad things, do not do things that harm others and benefit oneself, do not do things that make people spit at your face, do not do things that leave a bad reputation for posterity, do not do things that, pointing at one's spine, curse heaven as not enduring and earth as not deserving to give birth...............................................

In China, a great person once said: A person's abilities may vary, but only with this spirit is one a noble person, a great person, one who has freed oneself from lowly tastes, one who is beneficial to the people.................................

The spirit spoken of by the great person, I understand to be the spirit of dedication, the spirit of sacrificing oneself for others, the spirit of Yu Gong, the spirit of Jingwei filling the sea, the spirit of diligent creation, the spirit of striving to strengthen, the spirit of diligent struggle in life……….

To the greatest extent, excavate the potential of life.

What is the purpose of tapping potential? Of course, to add a bit of joy to this world, to add a bit of beauty to the world; rather than adding a bit of trouble to this world, and certainly not adding a bit of pain or ugliness....................

I dare not say I have added a bit of happiness, a bit of beauty to this world, although I have already written millions of characters of poetry and prose for this world, written several books; I do not know whether those writings of mine are trash, whether they can bring friends a bit of happiness and beauty?

But my friend who studies punctuation is different; his research results have already brought this world a bit of happiness, a bit of beauty.

He comprehensively examined the usage of punctuation in modern Chinese, fully respecting linguistic reality; while affirming the achievements of modern literary figures, he objectively revealed a series of new usages of Chinese punctuation, especially regarding the definitions of the period, question mark, exclamation mark, and semicolon that have long guided societal language behavior since the implementation of new-style punctuation in our country in 1919, putting forward negative opinions; and based on this, he established a completely new academic viewpoint. This new viewpoint received unanimous affirmation and approval from dozens of renowned experts and scholars in our country's linguistic academic circle, such as Lü Shuxiang and Zhang Zhigong.

This also makes me think of the character I wrote— the one who wants to learn poetry, to become a poet, Xiangling. In Dream of the Red Chamber, Cao Xueqin wrote only small characters; those big characters are merely supporting roles for the small ones. Among them is Baoyu's father

Yet some of the great events in the world are often carried out by small figures. Precisely because they are small, they are unwilling to remain small, and thus undertake things that great figures disdain or refuse to do.

Who? It is said, life is forever a marching troop; this troop never pauses for anyone, it never pities those who fall behind. In this troop, the role of the poet should be singer, praiser, describer, boaster, and march forward together with the troop.

So, the maiden who wants to learn poetry in Dream of the Red Chamber, Xiangling, wanting to learn poetry, said to her enlightenment teacher: 'I love the poem of Fangweng, "Layers of curtains not rolled leave fragrance long, ancient inkstone slightly hollow gathers much ink." That's really interesting.'

Xiangling originally was a girl unaware of worldly matters. She loves the poetry of Fangweng such as 'Layers of curtains not rolled leave fragrance long, ancient inkstone slightly hollow gathers much ink.' This is something modern people disdain.

What kind of poem is this? This is exactly what scholars and officials, when idle and bored, mindlessly chew on maggots. And such a trivial poem, that young maiden still regards it as her motto for study.

Therefore, those inexperienced, youthful, beautiful, lovely young girls are most easily deceived by charlatans. Daiyu is older than Xiangling, has experienced a bit more, and is somewhat mature. Daiyu said..................................

(Heart tied to the disaster area, affection tied to the disaster area: may peace, courage, confidence, and strength accompany and be with the people of the disaster area!)
