13. You come from one station and head toward the next. Standing at the corner of a turn, looking back at the long path behind and the misty road ahead, you might wonder: where have my former companions gone? Have the days of joy and sorrow faded away? How will the unknown years of the future unfold? Dear friend, do not lament. You have lost nothing; you are simply experiencing a turn. The centrifugal force of the turn naturally casts away old burdens, allowing you to be ready to embrace new things as you move forward. Life is full of such turns, each separating your previous station from the next. Therefore, walk through the corner with composure—do not dwell on the past, knowing only that the journey is long and the road ahead is vast.
14. There are always regrets of missed encounters in life, where even on the same path, one knows not where it leads. An encounter is a pleasant surprise; a conversation is a beautiful fragment; mutual appreciation is the sublimation of affection; and longing is a unique kind of beauty. Why fate comes is not something to be questioned. May we sing and chant, walk and stay warm, and cherish the present. Remember the beauty of blooming flowers, and forget the loneliness of falling ones. As Stella Cheung said: "The arising and passing of fate, its thickness or thinness, is beyond our control. All we can do is cherish those fleeting moments when destiny brings us together.">
15. All good things must come to an end, and the ultimate destination of life is death. Life is a process of gaining understanding through experience. Words are often illusory; only the silent years, like mercury slipping through fingertips, are real—as gentle as the dusk receding into night, quietly carrying away the threads of memory.
16. The most precious treasure is often not in the distance, but within ourselves; this is the foundation of our self-confidence. If one loses their sense of self and dignity in a relationship, becoming a mere appendage, they lose the true luster and value of life.
17. A strong person who is good at overcoming weaknesses is superior to a flawless weakling; a flawed diamond is more valuable than a perfect brick. The world reveals its vast mask to its lovers, making everything small—small as a song, small as an eternal kiss.
18. I love a certain kind of flawed beauty, the elegant and graceful poise, and the silence that speaks louder than eloquence. I would rather see 'ugly' ten times a day, if it contains flashes of brilliance, novelty, and wisdom, than see a 'soul-empty beauty' once a month. Living each day well is living a life well. In this world, there is no need for vanity or despondency. Often, people do not fall because of their flaws, but because of their strengths. Entrust your thoughts to the breeze; mastering oneself is a lifelong lesson.
19. You yourself are a landscape!
20. It was true that I loved you then, and it is true that I do not love you now. How does love fade? Even with a thousand reasons, they are merely excuses. Having walked and passed by, do not let them be missed; having loved and hated, do not hold onto grudges; having suffered and regretted, you must start anew. Time flies like an arrow, and we only have this one life.
21. By making yourself small, you can achieve greatness!
22. Life is a long journey, and the greatest regret is failing to find one's own place.
23. Diligence is a capability that requires long-term cultivation, not just a simple attitude. Being serious means doing small things well, checking carefully, and gaining insights from constant feedback.
24. If you wish to make many good friends, you must first become a good friend yourself. In social interactions, learn to listen attentively, empathize with others, be strict with yourself, and be lenient with others. Help others sincerely without seeking reward, offer sincere criticism to friends, and express your views honestly—neither flattering others to their faces nor slandering them behind their backs.
