Children should never leave irreparable regrets in front of their parents, especially at critical moments. For those who value emotions deeply, such regrets are often unbearable, while those who are emotionally indifferent may not feel them at all.
Life is a continuous process of overcoming risks and struggles, experienced between moments of rest and awakening. One should not pursue shortcuts in life, as what seems to be a shorter path often turns out to be the longest detour.
I remember the place called "Bridge" where you lived, yet there was no real bridge to be seen—only a calm river flowing quietly day and night. I felt no regret, because you were there with me walking along the country paths. Scattered villages lay beside the road, with trees growing sparsely, and a pond where we sat quietly by the shore watching ducks play, while a sense of happiness quietly rose in our hearts. Later, I often thought I was a fish in your river, or a butterfly on your path, freely and happily living within your world. But today, I have become a weary traveler, quietly leaving with loneliness and nostalgia.
Since the goal is a distant horizon, one should remain calm and composed. Only through the hard work of spring can one harvest the fruits of autumn; only through the continuous flow of a stream can it merge into the vast ocean.
Patience is often superior to intelligence.
You are, in yourself, a beautiful scenery.
Only through experience can one truly understand; only through pain can one gain clarity. If one has never traveled across mountains and rivers, how can one believe that simplicity is truth? Life belongs to you alone—you are the only helmsman. Others' experiences may guide you, but they can never replace your own reflection and exploration of life and career.
