Li Ziliu's golden saying: "Get it if you get it, and never return to Shunde."
What you get is what you get, and you don’t have to return to Shunde. This is a famous saying of Shunde people. It means that if you don't succeed, you can go back to your hometown and try again.
"You can get it if you get it, but you can't return to Shunde." The background of the birth of this sentence was in the early 1990s. At that time, Li Ziliu had just been appointed as the acting mayor of Guangzhou. "There were many contradictions and difficulties. It made my head spin." However, Li Ziliu faced the difficulties and faced them. When dealing with the problem of electricity consumption for people's livelihood, he slapped his chest and issued a "military order", "If I can't do it (can't solve it), I will return to Shunde automatically!"
So this sentence is widely circulated. Up to now, this sentence is actually a phrase expressing determination. It can also refer to "There is a way out, don't be afraid." In Mandarin, it can be understood as "If it works, then go back to your hometown."
