5. If the success or failure of a brother's life depends on it, but he cares about his face and keeps his mouth shut, wouldn't he treat him as a fellow traveler? This is a mistake I tolerated in the past. ——Liu Rong of the Qing Dynasty, "With My Brothers"

Wherever you look at people's faces and keep your mouth shut when there is a matter of life-long success or failure of a brother, don't you treat your dearest brothers as strangers? This is my fault for being so accommodating to you in the past.
