This sentence condensed all the ugliness in the history of China, and it was also the source of the most despicable behavior of China intellectuals. No matter how you agree with this sentence, it should be the reason to be nailed to the historical shame column. However, whether this sentence comes from Qin Gui's mouth remains to be verified.
These two sentences, the fourth sentence and the fifth sentence, are famous sayings of China intellectuals, which describe the ideological pursuit of ancient scholars from two terminals respectively. Zhuge Liang and Qin Gui are both famous prime ministers in history. The former is famous for its virtue, while the latter is famous for betraying the country. In fact, the road they have traveled is also the different pursuit of China intellectuals, either "do their best" or "remain immortal". However, although "notorious for thousands of years", some people think that "being a ghost is also happy."
"Loyalty to the country." -Yue Fei.
In fact, this sentence has the same meaning as Zhuge Liang's "Do your best to die before you die". But because this sentence was said by a military commander, it sounds straightforward. The "dedication" of civil servants and the "loyalty to the country" of military commanders have propped up the heavy backbone of China's history.
