Fate creates a warm and romantic sanctuary for our souls, giving us subtle attachments, deep dependencies, earnest waiting, and a sense of persistence in this life and anticipation in the next.
Natural beauty and expressive glances. Facing diverse and beautiful girls, people cannot help but think of a poem, a clear spring, or a wisp of cloud. Girls beautify themselves, and in doing so, they beautify the world.
I miss you, and I resent you. You have disrupted everything, broken everything, and set everything ablaze; making the fragrance of flowers turbid, the scent of food bland, life so short, and the night so long.
If I were that delicate and graceful woman picking lotus flowers by the river, would you be that free and handsome scholar playing the flute? Bending down to play with lotus seeds, the seeds are clear as water, the autumn water is shimmering, and eyes are brimming; that moment of tenderness and bashfulness, did it ever carry a scent of fragrance into your heart?
Love comes and goes. Joy comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. "Why can't all good things stay for long?" you ask. My dear, have you ever seen still water? Or encountered clouds that do not drift? It is because of the nature of movement in all things that beauty comes to you; Since you welcomed them with a smile, welcome their departure with a smile as well. Everything comes and goes. If things do not move, they change. Rather than watching the things that once brought you joy and happiness fade away, it is better to let them go.
Like maple leaves, brilliant red amidst the frost; like pines and cypresses, verdant in the biting wind; like plum blossoms, proud in the snow—that is what it means to be a strong survivor. A happy life is, to a large extent, a peaceful and tranquil one, for true happiness and joy can only exist in an atmosphere of serenity.
Any success is the result of tireless and hard pursuit; in this world, there is no such thing as an easy way to achieve fruitful results.
