The mist drifts ethereally, dreams circle endlessly, fallen flowers cover the knees, and the worldly splendor fades; a lonely whisper reflects upon a lake of clear waves, the subtle fragrance filling a lifetime of melancholy; a single tear falling on a rock reveals the murky truth and pains the heart with life's attachments.
Convincing oneself is a victory of reason; moving oneself is a spiritual elevation; conquering oneself is a mark of maturity; surpassing oneself is an achievement of growth; liberating oneself is a release from entanglement.

In this world, meeting another person is already a rare opportunity. Those who meet may not necessarily fall in love; those who love may not necessarily stay together. Therefore, if you love, love wholeheartedly. If you are young, love boldly. When entering another person’s room, viewing their bookshelf or belongings, using their computer, or sitting in their private seat, always be polite and never flip through their notebook without permission.
