The allusion of "a gentleman has no wife" comes from Chapter 52 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang told Lu Su and Zhao Zilong to take Guiyang.
Zhao Yun said, "A gentleman only suffers from fame and fortune. Why not marry?" Zhao Yun means that a man should worry about his career, not his wife and family.
Now spoken English has become "a good man is afraid of not finding a wife?" Emphasize that men should be ambitious and not delay the overall situation because they are immersed in love.

He thought that Zhao Fanhang was neither fish nor fowl, and reprimanded Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan had ulterior motives and motioned for him to kill Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun found out, punched Zhao Fan and got on the horse and went out of the city.
